    Ian McKellen Shoots Final Scene as Gandalf

    The Hobbit was Tolkien's greatest work? It's pretty much a Children's book, saying it's Tolkien's greatest work is like saying the best part you enjoyed of a 5 course meal was the mint to clear your pallet at the beginning. It included barely any of the Darker undertones or metaphorical writing...

    Humor: When does comedy cross the line and turn into bullying?

    When one party does not take the joke in good humor and then the joke or theme of the joke is carried on whilst in full knowledge that it was not taken in good humor. Simple in my eyes.

    "Vaccines don't save lives"

    Although I have criticized the NHS allot here in the UK, it is one of the perks of having a nationalized health service working on a budjet, they don't splash out on things unless it works, it's safe and will have a dramatic benefit for as many people as possible. They have no motive to give you...

    Why do people buy used games?

    Several reasons: 1. Our right as consumers, if we are truly buying something we should have the right to sell it, I'm not paying £40 to rent something for life. 2. They are cheaper, sorry if you are living in a strange ass bubble where everyone can afford everything. They can be very cheap...

    Better Representing Muslims: A Few Ideas

    You have kind of invalidated your whole point by using a topic you obviously only have popular culture references for, nobody is going to take you serious on as complex a topic as the 2000 year history of Christianity, it's development and interpretation by 100's of different sects. You have...

    Better Representing Muslims: A Few Ideas

    Reading through these comments it's astounding the level of misguided hypocrisy. First off my main problem with the article. Think about it just how many times in these games are these charters stated as Muslim, explicitly? Very rarely,the writer is placing a stereotype upon these characters...

    Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi: We Need To Educate Consumers

    I'm going to start using the word c***s when talking about Xbox, just frankly total arrogance, you are the division of a company that designs game consoles, in the rung of things you are at the bottom of the pile in terms of contribution to society. In Maslows hierarchy of needs you come in as a...

    Skyrim Fan's Real-Life Journal Tells an Epic Tale

    I don't know what's sadder that he spent this much time writing a journal on the adventures in a game (admittedly a fantastic game but by no means worthy of this kind of in depth documentation) or the fact he wrote it like a 5 year old and in pink ink. Each to their own if you have fun doing...

    The Last of Us Hands-on Preview

    Yer didn't sound much like a 14 year old to me either, after a quick Google search she's voiced by a 29 year old so does not take a genius to work that out. Her turn of phrase for a 14 year old sounded a little off to me as well, kids gradually learn to articulate themselves better as they...

    Escape to the Movies: Star Trek: Into Darkness

    I think you have misunderstood what role a director plays in the movie making process, very, very badly. A director does not have 100% control over the story or the script. They have these things called movie studios who hire a team of writers and producers for that.

    Game of Thrones. How would you like Joffery to die?

    I think it goes with out saying in this thread but ============SERIES 3 And up to BOOK 3 SPOILERS================= Anyone else think they may have gone very OTT in the series with Joffery compared to the books, I mean he was wholly unlikable in the books, having sansa beaten, having her...

    Electronic Arts Signs Exclusive Star Wars Game Deal With Disney

    User's on this site are so predictable with their attitudes towards EA it's literally becoming a cliche in itself. ie Cue slow clap.......real original guys. This deal opens up possibility's in my eyes, big ones I think for allot of fans are that 1313 may still get finished (can you...

    Chinese Gamer Sells Meth To Fund MMO Habit

    Depends on your opinion of drug's whether you consider it right. It's a topic that divides everyone no matter what side you sit on the political spectrum. There's the strong Right wing view. Allot of police officers back the idea of legalizing everything if not most illegal substances, due...

    I can make the Xbox 720 work, without DRM

    One word, convenience. The same reason the majority of people do their gaming on consoles. Press one button on the tv, another on the Xbox, 5 mins later your in a party, playing what ever game it is you fancy in a part chat with all your mates. Same principle as when Skype came out, people...
