    Day Z: I am terrible at this banditry thing.

    I'm a much more gung-ho player, shoot first, ask questions later sort of guy when I'm with a group, or hell even have a bit of range on another player. But when the chips are down, I've found I do not handle the pressure very well. I was at the NE airfield in a hangar when a sniper took pot...

    When was the last time something made you actually cry/tear up?

    http://9gag.com/gag/6074042?ref=mobile?#_=_ Pretty much the saddest thing I have ever read, perhaps because of the inevitably, and partly because I have always been on excellent terms with my dad. This is the only thing that can consistently bawl my eyes out, not just gently weep :'(

    Things that film makers and writers do that piss you off.

    I'm not sure how to explain it, but this situation is something that makes Breaking Bad almost unwatchable for me. I'm in the second season and I just cannot bring myself to keep watching because Walt is such a fucking idiot! He has had options to treat his cancer legitimately and safely, but...

    What should a 50 year old man watch with his 15 year old daughter on Netflix Streaming TV

    Firefly, Castle, Bones (a fair bit of "gore", but it was never really that bad IMO, watch an episode so you know what I mean), NCIS, Merlin, and Fringe are shows I have been watching for years (I'm 19) and they're all shows that my parents never had any issues with. They're usually fun to watch...

    Do people actually believe the thing about Australia's wildlife being dangerous?

    Well when was the last time any of you other countries found a snake or spider the size of your palm sitting in a shed in the backyard (or worse, in your toilet)?? Not often I'd imagine. In Australia, that's almost a seasonal occurrence. Many of the top 10 species of deadly animals in all biomes...

    Hospital Nurse found dead after prank call on the Duchess Catherine...

    Since this seems to have been glossed over by most people, I would like to emphasise that the nurse that died did NOT give away any details, she merely transferred the DJ's to the nurse that did. So how on earth is this related?? I think a lot pf people are overreacting. Don't get me wrong, it...

    Do you hum to video game music?

    The Battlefield and Halo themes already posted above do it for me, so not only do I hum them, I finger drum and "dadadaaaa" them as well :p And on top of that, most of the soundtracks, I have purchased and I well belt them out at max volume from my speakers, much to the ire of those who simply...

    So you've just found out your spouse is a former porn star.

    To quote Barney Stinson: "You dumped a pornstar?! FRIENDSHIP OVER!!" While I'd like to think I would be fine with it, and make it work, Promtheian Spark had some really great points...

    Halo 4 Ending + Saga Discussion [Spoilers]

    I have most definitely played Combat Evolved, and it still holds up as the BEST story game of all time in my own experience, but I was referring to the length of the games to make my comparison as opposed to the quality of its story. Halo 4 has a great story, with a lot of elements drawn from...

    Halo 4 Ending + Saga Discussion [Spoilers]

    I am reasonably good at FPS's, particularly Halo, but I haven't touched a Halo game in over a year. Yes, my very first playthrough was on Heroic 4 player co-op and that took me approximately 4.5 hours. Yearning for a challenge(and achievements), I proceeded to do the campaign solo on legendary...

    Hey! I Recognize That Voice/Person!

    Well I had my mind completely blown when I found our that Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) had voiced every joker in games and cartoons since the 90's and had done some of the V/O in a lot of my favourite games. Nathan Fillion stands out pretty easy though in the few games I've heard him in.

    Poll: Which Pet is Superior, Cats or Dogs?

    106-106. Damn this is the only poll I have ever see so close :p

    Halo 4 Ending + Saga Discussion [Spoilers]

    I was more interested as to find out how the hell Halsey made an appearance at the start... Unless it has come up in one of the new books like Glasslands or the Forerunner Trilogy, I was under the impression she was still trapped inside Onyx?? AFAIK it shouldn't be a "10 years earlier" thing...

    Poll: The Value of a Human Life

    Haha yeah, I vaguely remember that thread from a few months ago and if I recall nothing good cam out of it because increasinly more and more arbitrary restrictions and scenarios were being placed. IIRC, in a case of a random stranger vs random animal, the strangers usually won out, but most...
