    Chainsaw-Toothed Shark Fossil Uncovered

    Hmmm... I remain sceptical :D Not saying that it wouldn't be magnificent if that animal had existed but a seashell with serrated edges would be pretty cool looking too! Maybe they found a fossil of a shark eating a seashell? Choked to death while trying to eat the seriously equipped prey...

    Chainsaw-Toothed Shark Fossil Uncovered

    This might be a very stupid question, but how did they conclude that those teeth belong to a shark, if all they have ever found was said teeth? And such strange teeth at that. This just baffles me.

    Conan O'Brien Loses It Over Lara

    Damn, that was pretty funny! I've seen a few of these, but I think this was the best. I wonder why I had no issues watching the video, being Europe and all that. "look at this, she found a handbag and now she's distracted" I laughed a little too much at that.

    Sony Gives Free PSN Credit to Loyal Customers

    Hmmm, PS3 has sold 77 million units. That would be a newsworthy reward allright, if they gave all of them $10.00 credit on PSN :) I didn't get anything either, but I haven't really spent that much on PSN anyway (basically just DLC and digital only games). I'm one of them old farts who like...

    Watch Tonight's Sony Event Live on The Escapist

    Damn. I'm not so comfortably in GMT+2 zone. I hope they get right to it or I'm not getting much sleep it seems. Still, I must see this...

    1 Million People Have Paid High Price for Angry Birds Trilogy

    Kids. Kids would like this game on console. I think it's as simple as that. I cannot, for the life of me, see the appeal of EyePet but that sold over two million units. I really don't think Rovio targeted adult audiences with this release. I don't think it's adults buying all the merchandise...

    Hundreds Injured In Russia Meteorite Near-Miss

    This is an amazing video of the meteor. Cool, kinda terrifying, but cool. Though our news site says 950 injured...

    Swedish Police Raid Teenagers Playing Call of Duty

    That is all well and good, but we're not talking US of A here. We're talking of Lund, a city in Sweden with a population of 82000. And no SWAT team was despatched, the local police sent 10 officers, with handguns, to the scene. What happened with this case was effectively Lund's "jewellery shop...

    Swedish Police Raid Teenagers Playing Call of Duty

    It was someone passing by who heard the boys. They heard gun shots and one of the kids screaming "help, help, help". This lead to them calling the police. Nothing wrong with that. Source http://www.sydsvenskan.se/lund/polisen-stormade-dataspelskvall/ And another source in English...

    Do (EDIT: Internet) advertisements work?

    They do work, both ways, at least for me. If I see an ad that really annoys me, I make a decision to not buy the product. If the ad is funny I almost feel like I must buy the product to congratulate the creators for it. I really am not a friend of ads and I never understood why huge...

    Biggest plot holes in games

    The same way you get past guards while teleporting? Guards do not see the teleporting. When you teleport, you're only seen where you were and where you stop. The assassins were on the roof, the same roof you can walk unseen when you infiltrate the place, and (I assume) are only heard when...

    current souls fans, would an easier souls game make you not want to play it

    Defence is not a problem per se, not on its own. The problem is that people are too impatient. This is not a hack & slash game. If you run to every battle just swinging your sword wildly you will die. So even if the enemies were weaker, you would still have to learn the combat. When you learn...

    current souls fans, would an easier souls game make you not want to play it

    Would that be enough? I think the difficulties most people face with these games are frustration and impatience. If the enemies are still able to block, parry, bait, riposte and group against you, I don't see less damage necessarily as the option. If you're unable to get past the enemy defence...

    Ubisoft Eyeballs THQ

    Please read the source Ed130. It clearly states that Ubisoft is in lengthy discussions with the firm. MCV does not state that Ubisoft is waiting for THQ to die. Here's a quote from the original article. Importan part bolded. Neither Ubisoft or MCV is claiming that Ubisoft is holding out...

    Fellow Ladies, Ever Have Something Like This Happen to You?

    But... But some of us have sensitive titties :( I could never leave the house without a bra. My boobs would scream bloody murder if I did that. I need them for support... OT: I hate shopping for bras. I hate shopping period. My problem is not remembering the size; my problem is finding the...
