    The biggest "Meh" of 2012

    I have to be honest, Assassin's Creed was a giant meh for me. In many ways it was a fantastic game, but in the end it just felt like a giant let down, compared to what it could have been. It just felt disjointed, and I think the lack of proper buildings like in the last few really did it an...

    Poll: Which is worse - Hot weather or cold weather?

    Here in New Zealand at the moment, in my city, it is 29C (84F) and I'm finding it pretty unbearable. I much prefer colder weather around the 15-19C mark (59-66F). If I had to choose between too hot and too cold, I would go too cold every time.

    Little Nitpicks in Game Design that Drive You Nuts

    One of my current annoyances is synchronising viewpoints in Assassin's Creed 3, the church steeples in particular. When the view circles around Connor, you can clearly see that his foot is hovering just above the steeple. If they made flying a secret animus super power then that would be...

    Why is Sunday the Beginning of the Week?

    Agreed. In New Zealand we do dd/mm/yy. Also when I write the date I would do 29th November 2012, yet most American people I know do November 29th 2012. So is this difference a result of the dd/mm - mm/dd difference, or is the dd/mm difference a result of how we write it in full? Exactly, it...

    Poll: Justin Beiber Hate

    On a random note, I was just scrolling through this thread listening to Come right out and say it, off Five Score and Seven Years Ago. Just one of those strange moments when you are listening to a band and then suddenly read their name. Especially considering you don't often see Relient K...

    Funniest movies

    For me Anchorman will always be one of the top on my list. The Airplane movies also feature very high. Monty Python of course. It doesn't matter which one, they are all hilarious, although The Holy Grail is probably my favourite. The Hangover and the The Inbetweeners also get a mention for...

    Paper.

    Because books don't brick themselves like my kindle just did. Bloody pain in the backside.

    Worst Big-Budget Movie

    I have to say that Armageddon was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. A lot of people don't seem to share my opinion, but I found it to be appalling. Me and my dad were taking turns at guessing (with incredible accuracy) the major events about five minutes before they happened. The bit...

    "This is why play video games"

    Personally, the rush mode on BF3 has provided me with some of the greatest moments. On Kharg Island, we got pushed back to the final point and were defending like crazy. It was one of the biggest adrenaline rushes ever. Abrams tanks rolling around the corner, helicopters and jets strafing, RPGs...

    They don't think highly of our inteligence do they?

    Sorry, but I just have to point out the fact that you spelled intelligence wrong. OT: It's probably a typo or *insert obligatory joke about COD players intelligence*. Maybe they are just hoping you won't notice.

    Song To Fly Jets To

    The sad thing about this one is that we don't actually have any jet fighters here in NZ. They mothballed the skyhawks a long time ago and cancelled a purchase for some F-16s. The bastards. Of course this is the air force that has only just got around to replacing the Hueys. We now have shiny...

    Phantom body reactions

    Yea this happens a lot. There is of course the phone buzzing and bugs, as well as glasses (especially because I switch between contacts and glasses). Also, I work at a petrol station and the computer beeps if someone picks up a pump. I swear I have heard that noise so many times and there hasn't...

    What pokemon would you use fly with

    To join in with the chorus, I must say Charizard. He will always be my favourite.

    Saddest Gaming Moment Ever

    Both of mine are from RDR. Obviously the ending is one of them. However, the one part I found sadder was in the Undead Nightmare expansion <spoiler=With the Sasquatch> Where you kill all of his "man-eating" friends, only to find out that they are actually peaceful and friendly. By killing...

    The game of your dreams

    Personally, I would love Just Cause 2, but bigger and better. It would need more variety and some more interesting missions. So here's hoping for JC3.
