    Feed Dump: Thy Name is Dick Pic

    Am I the only person who's excited to see what they've done with all the hats?

    Question: Those outside of the UK, what is your internet/digital service like?

    Not to try and fully justify it, but a large amount of the difference in cost (and some of the difference in speed) could be driven by the fact that people in Canada and the US are a good deal more spread out than people in the other countries. Take Japan for example. To get high-speed internet...

    Is this a perfect world?

    Personally I just disagree with the concept of objective perfection. Something can only be perfect for a purpose as without a purpose there's no metric against which we can measure how close to perfection something is. An old, run down mansion isn't perfect for the purpose of being lived in by a...

    8 Games From EA That Don't Suck

    Hmmm... That was a pretty passable attempt at satire. I think I'll check the comments to see what captions people found the most facetious... I forgot how much the internet never seems to get subtle satire. Damnit internet, every single caption quietly whispered "The only reasons I can come...

    Australian Post Apocalyptic Sandbox + other Kickstarter finds

    Oh man, I thought this was going to be about an Apocalyptic Sandbox game where you're an employee of Australia Post delivering mail through tough desert wastelands while avoid the even-more-deadly-than-before wildlife... I was disappointed.

    The last time a game made you feel bad

    I decided to finally do a renegade run across the Mass Effect trilogy after playing pure paragon ages ago (and the 'good' track in pretty much every other game I've played). I was relatively fine during 1 and 2. There were a few things where I had to delay a second of two before being able to...

    Microsoft Drops Xbox One DRM Restrictions - UPDATED

    Am I the only one who's annoyed by this trade-off? Personally, two of the feature's I was most looking forward to were the ability to share games online with friends and family and the ability to play installed games without the disk, which have been removed along with always online requirement...

    What Interesting Thing Have You Discovered Recently?

    That one of my favourite spices is spelt cardamom, not cardamon as I've been calling it for years... mind blown.

    Wish It Inc.

    So I was doing my usual kickstarter browsing the other day and I came across this little gem: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/syntheticph/wish-it-inc-a-comedy-fantasy-web-series So it seems that the guys who made those live action Portal videos like the faux documentary about Aperture...

    Alive and Kicking

    I know a lot of people are a lot warier of Kickstarter as of late (or indeed anything that looks like a preorder after the Aliens: CM debacle) but for those of us who still enjoy the player input/interaction and the general vibe that comes from Kickstarting projects I would like to present to...

    I actually don't like the "permabanned" avatar swap

    What? Free angry kitty avatars! Where do I sign up? OT: I'm pretty sure just having angry kitty with the word permabanned in big red letters would probably be an equally effective and more hilarious alternative to the current permabanned avatar.

    Rare stuff you own

    Eh, I've got a few rarer things tucked away around my bedroom. In terms of coinage I've got an American $1 coin, some round Australian 50c pieces as well as some 1c and 2c pieces and some Aussie pennies, florins etc. I just found a box of coins in my room one day so that was interesting. For...

    Architects Nominate Mojang's "Hot" Office for Design Award

    I can't be the only person who saw that office and thought "that is the most hipster office I have ever seen... oh, Mojang is an indie dev, well played Mojang" can I?

    Fuck beef jerky

    I'd just like to point out that almost all flavour (that is, the combination of taste and smell) perception is a learnt behaviour. That is, no food is inherently disgusting. Which makes sense considering that is no one enjoyed eating a food (and there were other available food stuffs) it...

    Would you mind "booster packs" in your games? (Free on disc DLC)

    Couldn't you argue that Nintendo has been doing this with Pokemon for more than a decade? All the legendary Pokemon have always been on-cartridge from the start but you need to wait for Nintendo to unlock them, either by going to an event or, more recently, via wifi. You could argue that...
