    When will we see a NON-attractive woman in a video-game?

    I strongly suggest you look up Granny Rags from Dishonored.

    Your home town's claim to fame

    Helsby, UK, 'hell's bay' originally, because the vikings physically couldnt siege it no matter how many boats they brought!

    Whats the most expensive thing you've ever won?

    DUDE my brother won a HD video camera on one of those things - good one, too!

    Steve Jobs Has Died

    It's shocking to see the number of people ensuring to mention that they 'hate apple' but wish to offer condolences anyway - can't just offer an honest RIP, can we? who cares whether you 'hate apple' (they're a company, so what, you hate logos now?) - what he did changed computing, phones and...

    Mojang Offered Up Scrolls Trademark, Bethsoft Said "No"

    I can't work out why the devs at bethesda haven't stood up to their legal dept and said NO. solidarity with their fellow developers? they both innovate (i hate that word, i work in chemistry/plastics journalism, and it's endlessly overused... who ever called a new grip for a mould 'innovative'...

    Poll: Are you religious?

    No religion. Endlessly silly books put me off, and i dislike the whole notion of 'oh, I don't believe in A god of X religion, just that there's a higher power out there'. I don't think so. The world is far more beautiful when you look at it as billions of years of sometimes gradual, sometimes...

    Do you get angry/annoyed when people disrespect your country's flag?

    Was born in the UK by random chance, my existence here is coincidence - my love of the flag is zero, it's just a silly theory people got behind in some obscure, immature era ages ago.. If there was a flag for science and rationalism, I'd be offended if THAT were disrespected.

    PS3 owners- What are the benefits of a PS3?

    I'd say the exclusives, like everyone does, but also I'd say blu-ray player is important. I'd also say reliability (DISCLAIMER: NOT A FANBOY, I BOUGHT MY XBOX FIRST [and third, and fourth, and fifth, and sixth and counting]), great games on the store like Flower, and the dashboard XrossMediaBar...

    Skyrim Will Use Steamworks

    Well from what I've read, it won't be available on release, but they're working on it, Todd Howard said how sad he was that most of the audience weren't experiencing all the fun simply for the lack of an expensive PC - so it won't be day one, but they'll get there eventually. :) It's quoted on a...

    Coolest Character of all time (In your opinion)

    Was gonna say Rorschach, but that's been said, so... Tingle from Zelda. Just kidding. It's Batman. Obviously. (Annoying as it is that he hasn't been surpassed yet.)

    Skyrim Will Use Steamworks

    Actually the PS3 and 360 will be compatible with mods, you just load them up from your computer via USB stick, and shove that into your console. I think this may be the first time I've ever seen this, but I could be wrong. Either way, this makes me very happy, as there's only my PS3 in the house...

    Video games ARE causing violence.

    I think the only people who've actually been hurt by video games here are Demons' Souls players, anyone who has played that game has come out differently.

    What bands have you seen live ?

    Iggy Pop and The Stooges Morrissey (greatest night of my life, held my girlfriend through the whole thing and danced for hours) Kaiser Chiefs The Zutons Jimmy Carr (British comedian for those who don't know) Mundo Jazz (see above, but musical comedians, very funny) Feeder Kristeen Young...

    London Riots

    Just want to say, from england, that we riot because as a small country the lies we're told are far more magnified than in larger nations, with separate laws regarding moral issues depending on what state you're in (although, other than the corruption it occasionally brings about, i do have a...
