    Best sci-fi book you've ever read

    Much as I resent the implication that Deus Ex could ever be made to look like 'pulp', I have to admit that, were the unthinkable to happen, it would be a Snow Crash game that did it. Amazing book.

    Poll: Immortality or One Year Happiness?

    Are you people serious? One year of everything going right would be better than living forever? Think about the times you're happy. Yeah, it's great, but it's only great because you know what it's like not to be happy. If you were happy all the time, you'd get pretty sick of it. There's...

    Sorry for double-post. Has been edited.

    What is the Darkest Game you've played?

    I never saw S.T.A.L.K.E.R. as a 'dark' game. It was pretty simple in terms of theme. Your mission remains the same from the opening minutes: Find dude, kill dude. Can someone explain (genuine curiosity here) where the 'darkness' came in? The cutscene at the very start, though; that was dark...

    What is the Darkest Game you've played?

    Exactly. Condemned is dark the whole way through, The Suffering is extremely thematically dark, and Manhunt is dark and disturbing. I never saw S.T.A.L.K.E.R. as a 'dark' game. It was pretty simple in terms of theme. Your mission remains the same from the opening minutes: Find dude, kill...

    SCAIREST HORROR MOVIE EVER!!!

    Not scary, but kind of disturbing beyond belief: Salo (or The 120 Days of Sodom) Requiem for a Dream And, if you're stuck: http://www.filmspotting.net/top100.htm That's some guy's opinion.

    SCAIREST HORROR MOVIE EVER!!!

    Those Doctor Who episodes, along with the previously mentioned 'The Empty Child', while unquestionably awesome, aren't really competitive on scares. Yes, they're unnerving, and very well done, but at the end of the day, they just wern't about the horror, and the fact that they all have a...

    On Sequels

    "Because when you've got a sacred monument it's better to tear it down and rebuild it with hookers and rocket launchers, rather than leave it unchanged to gather pigeon poo for another few stagnant years." - Yahtzee Croshaw So, why do you spend so much time getting annoyed about the more...

    214: Society of the Spectator

    This article was really good, and gave me a pleasent few moments of remembering games I've watched others play. Actually, reading through the comments has been quite enjoyable, and it's great to see that there are so many others who've had good times using games as a 'co-operative single-layer...

    Mr. Parrish, that article was both hilarious and informative. Thank you very much.

    212: Gateway to Gaming

    Never for an instant :). It's kind of hard to forget when everyone you know from another country is rubbing it in your face. Is it wrong to hope that something terrible happens to Messers Fielding and Conroy?

    212: Gateway to Gaming

    While I love the concept, and would love even more to be able to use it, I have to agree with Labyrinth. It's just not plausible for those on low caps. When you not only have to pay for the game, but shell out for a massive download limit as well, it can be hard. Especially in countries like...

    211: A Pikachu in the Family

    That's a really cool article. It's one of those stories that just makes you smile. And keep smiling. 'Tiger' sounds like a better pet than some of the 'real' pets I've had :).

    Pass on a skill

    I'm gonna keep learning juggling. No matter how much you know, you can always get better. I think that's the best and worst thing about juggling. I can do five balls, (though not very well) but I'm more interested in some of the awesome three-ball combos you can do. There are heaps of them...
