    Movies that you are told are bad, that you consider good.

    I don't know if I was told it was bad or not, but perhaps just not told anything and the topic avoided and never mentioned or referenced directly, but.... I thought the Human Centipede was hilarious! The villain is delicious! The perfect stereotypical evil mastermind! Everything to do with...

    "Amazing" Should be Banished From the English Language

    I'd personally go for "The exception that proves the rule" because as far as I am aware, exception means it doesn't conform to the rule and how can not obeying a rule prove a rule? Usually from what I've seen it could be replaced with "This doesn't agree with me so I'm going to ignore it"...

    Game endings that just ruined almost the entire game for you.

    I personally quite liked the ending to Human Revolution. It felt like a grand epilogue though there is one problem with a button ending - most players will not pick whatever they felt fit their character most and will instead load their file and play it several times to get them all. I don't...

    Recommend me some Lovecraft?

    Herbert West : Reanimator is my absolute favourite. I would have to recommend that if you are at all interested in lovecraft.

    Let's talk Deus Ex 3

    I tried stealthier earlier with nonlethal weapons but I ended up finding it boring after about the sixteenth vent, so I started to upgrade a magmum and 10mm pistol. For about the last 50% of the game, I found it much more fun when I got the increased sprint and all the armor upgrades, dashing...

    Finer Points: Part One

    The stack isn't that bad for the most part when I play, the problem is my group has trouble understanding that creatures are spells that create creatures, so he spent 10 minutes arguing his hexproof beastie couldn't be countered. I eventually convinced him by showing him the giant eldrazi that...

    Poll: Favourite recent gaming controller?

    Some of my favourite games (such as No More Heroes) used the wiimote to great effect so I am going to say that when used well wiimote is my favourite. Go ahead, crucify me.

    Hard to explain interests

    Dwarf Fortress. You like, middle manage some dwarfs and they dig up rocks and then you watch them party. And it is all in ASCII. Occasionally a giant zombie magpie flies up from the well and eats everyone.

    Poll: Would you change your sex for 5 million dollars?

    Well it depends, first thing first is go ask if she is into that. If so, hell yes!

    Your home town's claim to fame

    Used to be home for teen pregnancy in South Australia, but I think we lost out on that title just recently. So...I don't know. Shame about that.

    So.... reasons why wouldnt you go to australia?

    There are some pretty simple rules for not getting killed here. Basically you just don't stick your hand in spider webs and don't walk where you can't see your feet. Oh, and of course don't pick up floating junk in case it is an octopus clown car. Stay out of rivers and whatnot to avoid...

    Barely known/obscure games you wish more people knew

    Dokapon Kingdom for the wii. OH NOES ITS FOR THE WII EVERYBODY RUN! Seriously, amazing party game. Trying to get a full story mode done with some friends, I think we are at our 5th or 6th session now and not even half way through....

    Grievances about Skyrim

    Melee combat still seems as boring as ever. I also think I leveled up too many noncombat skills and now all the bosses take like, 50 hits and I have to drink potions non stop. Grumble grumble.

    Where did all the older Escapist users go?

    Yeah, that happens over time. I didn't join for any particular reason and I only stay for a handful of people (who I don't think know who they are). Should they leave, so would I, and no one would notice a thing. It's a... nice... feeling.
