    We in the "tried fencing for a few weeks at uni club" call that a well exceuted parry and riposte, a tip of the hat to him for not backing down.

    GAME not stocking Mass Effect 3

    Just got that email and jumped straight to Amazon and preordered the collectors edition from there, not happy that i've had to fork out an extra fiver to ensure i get it on release day but i'd spend about that on petrol driving to my closest store so i guess it works out the same. Seriously...

    Do you Spit on the street?

    Fun fact its technically illegal in Britian to spit in the street. It was banned to try and stop the spread of TB i believe, so if your in Britain a cop could legally arrest and fine you for spitting.

    Space Marine Gets Invaded by Chaos this August

    Lets be fair in the 40K universe there isn't a good side, all the factions are pretty much the bad guys. Take the Imperials, for every chapter like the Salamanders or Space Wolves(the best chapter by the way although i am fairly biased given that about £400's worth of them are looking at me...
