    your biggest upsets and hype causers of the year

    I think this sums it all up really. The most intersting part of MGSV was a small tape conversation from someone who was already dead, and was never there and just a metaphor that the character had hallucinated as a yearning for peace. And my fiancé tried out the online thing and I just got...

    Is it wrong to hate small children?

    No it is not wrong. I used to hate being around children too. Now I work in a shop that sells toys, so now I'm indifferent to children and dislike idiot parents more.

    Need replacement earphones, have no idea what to go for

    I don't think any amount of shopping around or even spending more money is going to help. I've had seinheiser, sony, skullcandy (back when they were new and cool and stuff, and my latest were jvcs. All lasted about the same amount of time, except the skullcandys which cost more and rudely...

    Nobel laureate forced out of studies after making joke about women

    You know five years ago this would have been; "Old man makes sexist remark, big whoop" and he would have been forced to make a statement in public apologising and saying how insensitive and foolish he was to say it. Now it's like; "OMG how sexist, sack him, sack him now. Kill him, drag his...

    Adaptations better than the originals

    Watchmen. I don't really like the graphic novel, the characters are all too unlikeable and the ending makes no sense and there are too many wordy passages that don't add anything valuable to the story. The film was far superior as far as I'm concerned.

    What is the longest TV/book/game series you have completed?

    I have a short attention span, I got to book 4 of the wheel of time series, and only manage about 2 series of anything, even when I'm enjoying it. I don't even finish most video games. I used to read a lot, but it's mostly stuff my mum owned, so everything David Eddings wrote, most of Dick...

    Reigniting old flames: The controversy reminiscing thread

    Well, lemme see... Back when I was new there was no religion and politics forum so there would always be a long running christian bashing thread around. Eggo was antagonising everyone who couldn't afford the super best of pc gaming hardware and RichardGroovyPants was antagonising everyone he...

    If trapped in absolute poverty, would you turn to crime?

    It is impossible to say, if you are desperate, starving, and with no hope of ever getting out, then I can't say what I would be prepared to do. If I were living in the parts of th world you refer to then the police aren't exactly going to be on my side so it wouldn't be a priority to stick to...

    How do I tell this guy he has no future in what he wants?

    You don't. It isn't your place to crush his dreams. What you can do is offer constuctive criticism, if you can see where his drawing is going wrong then you could help him. Obviously ask if he wants your help to see what is wrong with his draing first. If he is really into his idea for a...

    David Lynch has left the Twin Peaks revival....

    I am disappointed but then again there could still be a decent show out of it. I know the dodgy bits of the original were the bits without him, but the revival of the show is based upon the popularity of what he created. It might be good, so I'll reserve judgement. And without Lynch it might...

    HEY! Who wants to play bubble breaker?!

    Beautiful. I knew it was going to be another evil Kross plan, but I was curious and clicked anyway. Still, could be worse.

    Poll: "Benevolent Sexism"...Wait, what?!

    This nonsense about holding doors open has been around for years, it was a thing back before I joined and has cropped up probably once a year since. Most people are grateful for a bit of politeness and anyone who isn't is probably just attention seeking. Also, I think it's been called...

    Tim Burton to direct Dumbo Remake, ###### you Disney

    I don't see why all the hate, if you don't like him as a director, then don't watch it. Anyway, I remember Dumbo as being creepy as a child, and it seems the perfect story for Tim Burton to do. It could be good, you never know. Has has done some excellent films in the past, and Alice was ok...

    Vacation tips for England

    This is the most useful post Ive spotted so far, it's stuff us locals don't think about. You should definitely book train tickets early. Once you work out which cities you want to visit, then look for cheap tickets, there are a number of sites that deal in reduced rate train tickets and the...

    Post some of your first world problems!

    My lips are dry and I can't get the lid off the little jar of lip balm. Also I got ghostbusters on blu-ray and it doesn't work. And I have washing up and cleaning to do and I can't be bothered.
