    Poll: Mindless hatred for the Xbone?

    Aside from all the obvious hate in terms of the poor design choices (privacy kinect concerns, trading games and required internet connection) the direct competition, the play station 4, has gambled and come out the more appealing system (at this stage, anyway). Sony originally aimed at...

    Graphics Are Not Aesthetics

    I strongly- as in absolutely, disagree with your defining thought on this. I don't see how aesthetics cannot be considered a part of [link-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics]graphics[/link]. If a graphic is an image, then surely it follows that graphics are a grouping of images, which in...

    Poll: Would you eat your own flesh to survive?

    That wouldn't help in the least, so no, I wouldn't eat my own flesh in order to survive....

    Poll: Justin Beiber Hate

    If that song is supposed to be what he's capable of with his own creative control, I'm sorry but he will always be catering to 14 year old girls. You're not wrong about him playing his part well,however, I didn't hate it right up until he started singing, and he doesn't seem to be trying nearly...

    Warhammer 40K's story, how is it even remotely appealing?

    Isn't it based off of the bible? The emperor is jesus, horus is judas etc. Pretty edgy and politically incorrect to call it childish :P

    Poll: Who is picking up Assasins Creed III?

    After what they did to PC gamers with assassins creed 2 I was disgusted with myself for buying it (I bought it well before the PC release, on PS3). Needless to say, I won't by buying it.

    Rapist With The Dragon Tattoo

    To violently rape, even. There's supposedly a physiological response (in blokes) where upon a (known) women is raped they get doped up on hormones and violent. Despite the feminist sentiment of the series, it is largely aimed at men (what with the whole softcore lesbian porn and dream...

    EA is not evil.

    Somewhat valid, though a hostile takeover isn't really unheard of. You didn't discuss the rise of the DRM (in the beginning EA were big pushers of secuROM), the introduction of paid DLC packages that were originally a part of the game, the constant lawsuits against other companies, the often...

    Give me a reason to play Dota 2 (EDIT: entire new OP)

    If you play, and are happy playing LoL, then dota isn't for you. The games may look similar, but they are not. Simple as that. Good luck to you if you're using POTMs arrow for 5 second stuns during teamfights consistently. It's nearly impossible. The invisibility ability has a cooldown, so...

    I dropped out of college.

    Is that something that's college graduates are guaranteed to avoid? That's very different to how university's work in Australia, and even more different to what I've heard from college graduates I know from North America. For example, I'm studying a skilled degree with which the local media...

    Julian Assange is a prick.

    It's very easy to say unrelated, but the insistence that the case should be revived with no new evidence so long after it had been dismissed surely warrants some suspiscion. Sweden has crazy rape laws, which further confuse it, as I understand it, it is possible to 'rape' someone who has given...

    Poll: A question for Un-Americans.

    I've done Hawaii, which was at best lackluster (as I'm Australian I suppose it was always going to be a waste of time to travel overseas for a beach type holiday), as well as california (also not very exciting imo) and Colorado. Based on my experience, I'd probably have little interest in any...

    Your Favorite Multiplayer Maps

    Harbour and PoW camp from the original call of duty, railyard from call of duty 2, sidewinder from halo, the 3 towers with low grav on UT (the name escapes me right now) and pretty much all of the maps from dystopia. I'll leave the list there lest it get ridiculously long.

    Do not waste your money on Dawnguard.

    Review threads, despite your opinions, are useful. You're welcome to do as you like with your money, and if you enjoy your purchases all power to you, but not everyone can readily afford to spend money regularly. A $25 DLC kit is a big deal to some people (it is to me), and if it's generally...

    Are you boycotting any companies?

    Sony and Apple are my main boycott targets. I personally had a bad experience with Apple and have since realised they rely on their customers not knowing anything about hardware, and Sony because they constantly sue people who use their products, lie to customers (the xperia x10 was incredibly...
