    The Escapist Redesign

    I've just noticed that my badges aren't displaying correctly either - the ones beneath my avatar on this page are not the ones I've configured in my account details. Edit: And lo, now they are! That took several refreshes...

    The Escapist Redesign

    I dislike the glare that comes from this redesign. Seriously, trying to read this on any decent sized monitor is a recipe for eye strain. At least provide a choice between a dark background theme and this "staring into the sun" one.

    Poll: Has your taste in music changed over time?

    When I was a teenager, it was rock - Metallica, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Megadeth. In mid-twenties I started listening to industrial - NIN, Ministry. That sort of led me into techno, then by late twenties/early thirties I was listening to a lot of drum and bass. Sort of went into dubstep...

    Escapist, asking for your eternal knowlege to help me

    What system was it on? PC or console? I hope you find out, there's loads of games I can remember playing when I was little whose names I have completely forgotten!

    Zero Punctuation: Call of Juarez: The Cartel

    Me too - that would make a great ring tone...

    Is portal hard?

    Hehe :) But seriously folks, there's quite a few little touches of genius in the test chambers, and lots of story related stuff squirreled away once you leave. It's not all white walls and companion cubes.

    Is portal hard?

    It's not hard, but some of the puzles had me scratching my head. It took me well over 10 hours to complete the first one, but I do like to take games slowly and look around at the scenery.

    How long have you been using your avatar?

    I've been using this one since I first registered. I'll get around to finishing the game sometime as well!

    Gin = Not manly?

    Whiskey is the drink of a man who probably wears a lumberjack shirt and craps in the woods. A martini is the drink of a man who drives an Aston Martin, sky dives on weekends and can kill ninjas with a toothpick.

    Poll: What Makes Horror Gaming Worthwhile?

    Yeah, I think it's definitely the environment. My two favourite horror games, Slinet Hill 2 and Forbidden Siren, have such a creepy feel to the actual places that I spent most of the time there genuinely disturbed...

    So the earth doubled in size in the last 65 million years? right....

    Don't start banging on about Galileo versus the Catholic church - the church didn't have any evidence to back up their claims, and Galileo's theories did. They disagreed with him because of religious dogma, not science. I'm not telling you what I think - I'm telling you that there's an...

    So the earth doubled in size in the last 65 million years? right....

    There's tons of evidence for tectonic motion of plates - physical evidence that can be substantiated. I hate it when people say "science hasn't figured everything out yet" and then use that as "reasoning" for any easily discredited bizarro hypothesis. Science has worked out a hell of a lot...

    I'd have a Rapid Offensive Unit, and it would be called "This Ain't Taxes".
