    The Big Picture: Je Suis Charlie

    Have you any idea how many people called Muhammad (and variations thereof) there are? If you didn't specify which one you were talking about things would get very confusing.

    What's the most boring book you've ever read?

    When I was in secondary school my mother told me that I should read a greater variety of books than my usual fantasy and science fiction. So I picked up Gone With The Wind. If I ever read Mein Kampf then Gone With The Wind might get demoted to being the second most racist thing I've ever read...

    Doctor Who Series 7-8: The Rings of Akhaten (SPOILERS)

    Towards the end I assumed that the Doctor was going to use the sonic screwdriver to amp up the lullaby and send the star back to sleep after failing to KO it with his own memories. What was that nonsense with the leaf? If they wanted to have it used they should have had her bribe someone with it.

    Thoughts on doctor who new season (UK only may have spoilers)

    So much better than last series. I particularly liked the sequence with the plane.

    EA's Peter Moore admits "We can do better"

    I got as far as 'its not DRM' and just had to stop.

    MLP Rumor: Humanized Spin-off Show Coming

    Horrible body proportions. If they were going to copy fanfics why couldn't they copy the good ones?

    Your Least Satisfying Gaming Victory

    Random game of Heroes of Might and Magic VI. Me versus 1 AI player. I took its lightly defended city and waited. It turned out that it had a huge army I couldn't have taken but for some reason it never tried to attack me.

    Did ME3 ruin Mass Effect for you?

    While it is slightly irritating that I will never get anything like a satisfactory conclusion to a story I was enjoying -haven't bought ME3 and most likely never will- I still had fun with the other games. The ME story is fairly self contained and ME2 kind of is, if you don't play Arrival...

    Good Sci-Fi Book Recommendations

    I wouldn't. Its a short story, less than 20 pages long if I remember correctly. It also has about as much to do with either film as they have with each other.

    Let's play the superpower lottery!

    Enhanced Jump. Could be worse, but I don't think that the nonreptilian criminal fraternity will exactly be quaking in their boots.

    Anime ending that disappointed you

    Big O. Not just for the obvious reasons like the failure to build on established themes or make any sort of sense, but because I had just about persuaded my university housemates that animation as a medium could be just to tell interesting, adult stories. They went from open mockery to...

    Poll: ME3 EC didn't fix anything

    I assumed that the reason for that was that he wanted to have an army with him when he did it, in order to prevent him from having to fight all of C-Sec. Or maybe Sovereign didn't know why the Citadel Relay hadn't opened and wanted to check everything the Protheans might have done. As for...

    Poll: ME3 EC didn't fix anything

    Like what? The only significant one I am aware of is that no one suggests that Saren is planning to attack the Citadel until your meeting with the Council, and then everyone assumes that he must be.

    Aliens Have Conquered Earth

    Are the aliens hot? It is relevant to my decision making process.

    BioWare Knows It Can't Please Everyone

    Funny you should ask that, because it was the Mass Effect novel Mass Effect: Deception by William C. Dietz. Story here [http://kotaku.com/5882185/bioware-to-patch-error+laden-mass-effect-novel-in-response-to-fan-uproar] Error list...
