    A question for the guys . Baths : Yay or Nay?

    Yeah, I have baths nearly all the time due to not having a functioning shower cubicle in my house for years. Don't know why everyone is so concerned about the "filth" - unless you get really dirty/sweaty every day your body isn't going to be that unclean. I mean, do you have a phobia about going...

    Is ganking girl gamers a bad thing?

    It seems pretty clear from the articles she's published that Kotaku hired Patricia Fernandez exclusively to write articles full of sensationalist rubbish to publicize their site and attract loads of viewers to see what all the internet rage is about and go on about Hernandez. I'm pretty sure...

    lets collectively lol @ these "I need feminism because..." pics

    Oh god...I know her! We were in the same classes at school in most subjects, and some in sixth form college too. She's actually a really nice person, very intelligent but not stuck up about it. She said she wanted to be a teacher after uni and helped me out a few times. Hope she's getting on...

    What Are Some Good Movies Where The GOOD GUY Fails?*

    I was thinking Full Metal Jacket, the protagonist ends up scarred at the brutality of his own sides actions when he is forced to kill the Viet Cong girl after she helped to kill some of his squad members.

    "Gamer Entitlement": Current state of gaming journalism and industry

    It seems to me that the main issue is to be balanced between your own aspirations and what the fans want when creating or redeveloping a game or series. You need to take what the customers want into account while ensuring the game is not just based on the fans' ideas, pushing the series in a new...

    Answer the poster's question above you then post one for the next person.

    Probably Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare by at least having a major change, even if it was only change of scenery. What to you is the most insufferable fandom? Captcha: take a look. NO. You don't want to see what has been CREATED...

    Create a hostile faction in a modern fps

    How about one where you play as a normal soldier/special ops in the US military and have to take down your own command structure in the army. Parts of the US high command, angry at proposed cuts to military spending reducing their influence and fearing that American power would decline, have...

    Ruin-A-Wish Foundation.

    Granted, but you become so addicted by the choice and depth of gaming that you forget to sleep, drink and eat and die/ go crazed after only 72 hours. I wish I had more self-confidence.

    Wishes for someone new to this whole thing to post. Or possibly to possess a stylish hat collection.

    A Journey to the Center of the Earth.

    Hhhm? Wha? Sorry guys, fell asleep back when the demonic invasion in a mall was being chucked into the sun (and maybe slightly due to the ridiculous amounts of booze stocked up. Maybe.) Where the hell did we end up!?

    Poll: Lets pretend the government passes a law stating that you can't have a gun anymore...

    Pretty much this, if the US Congress can actually get enough support to repeal gun ownership and the 2nd Amendment then most US citizens would be either apathetic about or not want guns. Sure, there will always be a minority who would try to get around this by hiding them or something but most...

    Stupid things you believed as a kid

    When I went shopping with my parents at the supermarket and the cashier asked if they wanted cashback. I used to think they were actually giving them money back.

    Teens Sedate Parents For Net Access

    It just sounds like a pretty stupid way for them to get their own back. I mean, if you want to prove you're mature enough to have your curfew extended/removed then giving your parents what is effectively a date-rape drug is probably the worst way. Yes, they are 16 and can (supposedly) understand...

    NRA Likens Videogames to "the Filthiest Form of Pornography"

    And yet people wonder why gun massacres keep on happening... Must be the video games desensitizing the youth and making them think of bullies and people who threaten you as nothing more than the evil baddies who need to be shot because that's the only language they understand. What else could it...
