    More Layoffs Hit Crytek

    Often its a case of a mix of hope and lies, at least from my experience when working for a dying company. Word comes down from higher up "if we can get through these next for weeks/months we can save the company! Lets just fulfil this project/order and everything will be okay!" and things like...

    Razer Man O'War 7.1 Headset Review

    Just a note for anyone considering this headset, don't get the wireless if you have long sessions or are lax about charging. The battery life for the wireless version is pretty horrid in real terms, you end up having the cable attached for charging anyway so you pay quite a chunk extra for part...

    Ghostbusters Director Calls Out "Assholes in Geek Culture"

    It is total BS the Sony hack/leak revealed E-mails between Amy Pascal (A Sony executive) and Paul Feig where she was fixated on all female cast and brought Feig in due to his preferences in movie making, the production of this movie has been incredibly troubled. Tantrums on set and social media...

    Far Cry Primal Preview - Stone Age Survival

    This makes me pretty excited, my favourite parts of Far Cry 4 where Ajay living through that mythical story in the tapestry and a whole game of that would be pretty refreshing instead of weapon and weapon mod collecting.

    Fallout 4 Won't Have Platform Exclusive (Even Timed) DLC

    They had a lot more DLC planned, as many as Fallout 3 and New Vegas apparently but it being Xbox 360 timed Exclusive and all the problems with the PS3s version meant it was received with a "meh" and sales weren't what they could have been so all that ended up being released was an inferior home...

    Fallout 4 Won't Have Platform Exclusive (Even Timed) DLC

    Learning the lesson after the whole XBox getting Skyrim DLC early basically derailed their DLC plans for the game and them finishing early.

    The PC Master Race Appears to Have a New Anthem

    Yeah, thats a bit of a thing. you basically have two options for PC gaming blistering 120-144FPS@1080-1440 Frame rates or 60>FPS at 4K-5K, unless you're willing to dump £5,000+ into the GPUs and monitors that can handle both. Personally I come down on the frame rate side.

    8 Free-to-Play MMORPGs Worth Checking Out

    STO is pretty good now, the F2P system is sneaky the way it counts on a combination of nostalgia and peer pressure but the nickle and dimming has lead to it being profitable enough to actually get some content compared to earlier on where the End game was pretty much just Borg. Now you can focus...

    Has anyone else spent enough money on certain games, that you're actually embarrassed to admit it ?

    STO has kind of gotten out of hand for me, at the stage where I have been buying ships that cost £25+ just for the fancy traits some of them come with and to add to my on screen ship collection.

    Protest outside of abortion clinics. Does it go to far?

    By all the reports these people are not just assembling, they are shoving cameras in faces, jeering and shouting at individual patients and things like that. That crosses the bounds into harassment, even signs can be considered that was well. Are they intended to bring shame or embarrassment...

    Protest outside of abortion clinics. Does it go to far?

    Couldn't agree more, there is absolutely no justification for it no matter how people feel. Free speech isn't about having the right to create any disturbance you wish or harass anyone someone chooses too its about expressing your feelings, Westminster make the laws and set the policy here in...

    Protest outside of abortion clinics. Does it go to far?

    Abortion clinics are medical facilities, people have the right to attend them with as much privacy and dignity as possible. Excluding protesters from or near them doesn't impinge on free speech, the public have plenty of public places or government buildings, including Westminster to protest...

    A timeline of the deterioration of the Terminator timeline (spoiler for every Terminator movie)

    Maybe the premise is that any and all machine intelligence (in the Terminator Universe) would end up becoming Skynet, the same motivations and logic and way of thinking. However its created, whatever its intended function it eventually takes over all globally networked computers and then either...

    Superman destroyed Metropolis

    Thats the thing though, his motivation here is totally believable. Have you never had a blazing row with someone and completely lost your spaghetti over it and just walked away and punched something like a wall or door? You didn't want to punch or hurt the person but you had to do something...

    Poll: Would you watch gladiatorial combat?

    No, not at all. I have no interest in watching living things that can feel pain, distress and fear getting mutilated or killed (I can barely watch the stuff Sea Shepard.org where I am a supporter post) I certainly have no interest in watching people do the same for entertainment.
