    165: The Frag Fraternity?

    Heh. The LAN centre I occasionally frequent is stocked with 11-15 year old white males mostly, and a lot of their mouths are a more than a little bit rotten, when it comes to, y'know, people who aren't 11-15 year old white males. I doubt you'd get the same nice feeling if going to a LAN centre...

    158: Click Here for Hot Man Love!

    I dunno whether I'd agree with the statements about sex before the Internet - y'know, you had a lot of promiscurity promoted in the music industry in the 60s and 70s, which was then thrown out of the window when AIDS hit. But acts like Bowie and The Beatles were always rumoured to be having...

    Zero Punctuation: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

    "Fuck Solid Snake, they should let you unlock Bill Murray." Funniest one-liner in Zero Punctuation yet.

    EVE Online Update Trashing Windows XP

    This is, of course, the best bug in any game ever.

    I never bought a Playstation 2. What games did I miss?

    I agree with the notion that Psychonauts is poor on the PS2 because of the technical faults, which is a real, real shame because it was a brilliant, original, well-scripted and immensely loveable game. So get it for PC, if you can. Anyway... Timesplitters 2 Devil May Cry 3 Metal Gear...

    Zero Punctuation: F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate

    The copious nosebleed bit was brilliant, but yeah...this one is hardly a favourite, although that's understandable.

    What is it that makes us who we are?

    I like this teaser, even if it is quite derivative. It has me in high hopes that the story will be reasonably complex.

    You what?

    Every Game Made To Come to Steam: Newell

    Every PC game ever? I don't believe that for a second. As good as Steam is, that is a totally unrealistic goal, but if it *does* happen, then (PC) gaming will become much, much better: classics from years ago will be available for download, and new releases won't be the only ones to get...

    The worst game you have ever played.

    There was a game called Lone Soldier for the PS1 I tried to avoid, which seemed to linger in my game drawer for far too long.

    Poll: Would you still play it if...

    One of the good points raised in this thread is the whole "beating you over the head with it" idea, which, let's face it, is quite believable in gaming's current climate. The fact that Mass Effect does not allow homosexual relationships between men, but allows it among women saddens me, as I...

    The Escapist Snags 1 Million Visitors

    Ah, the magazine confusion will be on my part: the website used to be in online magazine formet: that of pages to turn, and now it is more like a traditional website.

    The Escapist Snags 1 Million Visitors

    I have to admit to not being as fond of the magazine as I was before it changed from a magazine format, but it's still one of my favourite game sites. With the case of Gamernode: I was a reader (and a one-time contributor with a Battlefield 2 review) when it was just starting out. One of the...
