    Trailers: Lord Of The Rings: The War in the North - Elf Combat Trailer

    So the Loremaster casts off blue bolts by playing air guitar with his staff? FAIL!!

    LoadingReadyRun: Cruise Vacation

    It's kinda depressing that they're actually accurate on the cruise method being cheaper... What on earth are we thinking!

    Poll: did anyone knew "no rest for the wicked" before borderlands?

    Knew I'd heard it somewhere before:- The song has been featured both in the opening sequence of the 2009 video game Borderlands by Gearbox and its promotions, in a commercial for the TNT series Leverage, in the 2010 film The Bounty Hunter, in an episode of The Vampire Diaries ("Isobel"), and in...

    90% successful aids vaccine.

    From what I read on the vaccine it's a great protective agent for those who DON'T have it and only a heavy weapon in the arsenal for those who currently live with HIV. One of the responders is correct, this does not target the African HIV which counts for most of the global infection numbers...

    Yorkshire Pudding!

    The thing about Yorkshire puddings (my mum is from Newcastle and makes the best ever) is down to quality. Shop bought is blasphemy against their good name and amateurs that want praise because they get the shape right just need to be shot. I am almost scared to attempt the dizzying heights...

    Jimquisition: Online Passes Are Bad For Everybody

    I agree. It can't be THAT hard to come up with an amicable solution can it? I was thinking something more along the lines of movies where every period they drop the price, getting maximum cash from the must-haves, decent cash from the wants and then cleaning up whatever is left with the...

    Escape to the Movies: Straw Dogs

    It wasn't exactly a shocker that a remake of a genuinely good movie was genuinely bad. Can anyone think of any remake that actually improved, in any way, the original? And I don't mean prequels and sequels, etc. but a straight up remake by some modern director who simply doesn't get the source...

    Sexism; Or The Turning of Tables

    This is a personal bug-bear of mine for all the reasons the OP said, but fundamentally for more important ones. These are a list of my own personal experiences with sexism (I'm a guy btw):- sexual discrimination at work - working in a noisy club I was admonished publically for tapping a girl's...

    .......I can't believe I am actually about to talk about this movie.

    Human Centipede, Bad Taste, that French film with the rape scene in the subway, all movies that explicitly went after the shock factor and gained success largely from the notoriety from their "offensive" material. If it's so horrible why do people watch them in their thousands? Personally I...

    Jimquisition: Angry Birds Is Not Sh*t

    Personally I think the thing that put a lot of gamers noses out of joint were the loud choruses of casual gamers trumpetting the "new" and "totally original" concept of Angry Birds which just was never true! Personally I couldn't see what all the fuss was about as my brother bragged about his...

    Casual sex

    My feelings are mixed, but not for moral reasons. Making love in a committed relationship is by far the best. Awesome experiences, wonderful moments, life changing events. Sex is... well, just sex. From someone with a stupidly high sex drive I get the itch that needs to be scratched and...

    No Right Answer: The Killing Joke vs Watchmen

    I must admit I'm actually impressed with both the topic and the debate this week. Seems odd to actually have two decent choices to argue against and a good change in my opinion. As much as it might annoy people I actually agree with the arguments made and the decision reached. While...

    Critical Miss: Dead 'Sland

    Well, I'd say he climbed up and threw himself off as there is no stool or step nearby. Climbing palm trees is not so difficult and he would just have to guess the height so as not to make the rope too long, plus he'd get the benefit of momentum, possibly giving him the covetted neck snap...

    Trailers: Journey - Gamescom Trailer

    I concur, every trailer I've seen makes it look like an open ended platformed than an adventure game. No shots of collecting anything, manipulating anything or fighting anything, just lots of running about.

    Why don't these guys have their own cartoon yet?! :)
