    Your favourite Star Wars moments

    for me it has to be in Episode 3 (the new one, not actual 3... it's complicated). I know, I know by and large they are terrible films, but that's not to say that they don't have their redeeming qualities - -You saw how lightsaber battles could be fought, with finesse and not looking like...

    Poll: If a homeless person begged you for money, would you give it to them?

    Nope, although when I do give to homeless folk, it's pretty much exclusively food and drink (coffee and tea, not booze). this thread did remind of this though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTJFwwJ7VF8&feature=kp

    British spy agency intercepted Yahoo webcam images

    I think Frank Turner summed this up quite well in Sons of Liberty, especially at the end: So if ever a man should ask you for your business or your name Tell him to go and fuck himself, tell his friends to do the same 'Cause a man who'd trade his liberty for a safe and dreamless sleep...

    8 Old Board Games That are Still Good

    They're all pretty 'safe' choices, Although i'm not too sure about 'hungry hungry hippos'. I would have included 'Diplomacy', a great game that you can lose entire weekends to.

    The Last of Us: When Does it Get Better?

    My housemate completed this recently. First off he really didn't enjoy himself, he hates/is terrible at shooter type games anyway. once he realised that it doesn't all have to be about being gung-ho, and actually learnt the controls and to stealth and craft, he really started to focus on the...

    MMO's you'd like to see as single player games?

    I would say SimCity 5.... Although Eve Online would be great as someone mentioned earlier, in a freelance type of game. Wasn't there a remake of Elite on kickstarter a while back? anyone know how that went?

    Poll: Which Total War game would you recommend?

    OneCatch - that's a pretty good summary of the TW series. I would personally recommend europa barbarorum http://www.europabarbarorum.com/ it's historically sound, really adds loads to awesome features to the RTW game and is very stable when installed with alexander total war

    Total War: Rome II Review - Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum.

    4 Stars? I strongly disagree. The battles are waaay to short, and always end up just being like some kind of mosh-pit where one unit will break after 5-10 seconds. There's just no unit cohesion, even with units that require it function, like a phalanx. The units themselves appear to...

    the first site you visit.

    using Chrome, it's hotmail, BBC news and sport, escapist, facebook (rarely), and of course stacks of porn...hey, it's the internet it's what it was made for.

    Poll: When do you check the GameFaqs?

    as well as using them when i cannot figure stuff out for myself, either because i cannot be bothered, or because i've spent the last hour trying to find a switch that i'm convinced isn't actually there; i also read some of the more specialised guides to see what can be done in the game. Such as...

    When Yellowstone Erupts, what is your plan?

    It is entirely possible that there would be very little long term impact from such an eruption. The Toba eruption about 70,000 years ago was one of the largest eruptions of the Quaternary (from 2.5 mya to present), and has been linked with climate change and seen as the trigger for the...

    Many of the best Si-Fi movies have nudity?

    I dunno, some of my favourites have none: Star Wars, Sunshine, Moon have non at all... But I think at least one scantily clad woman, is a major theme in sci-fi film
