The Baldur's Gate games have a huge list of regular monsters that can obliterate your entire party. In particular, any enemy that can mind control your party members (e.g. Mind Flayers) are annoying enough to make you rage quit the game... Unless you used some kind of divination spell and were...

The original Black & White. Never made it past the island where you have to rescue your Creature. Hearing it's distant screams of agony sort of put me off playing xD Populus: The Beginning. Final few chapters of that game were pretty brutal. Civilization III... Oh dear. Expanding your...

Believe it was either Cardcaptor Sakura or Dragonball Z. I remember being big into both of those shows as a boy. Also, pretty sure I was in the group of kids that preferred Digimon to Pokemon, even though the trading card game for Pokemon was a pretty big deal in the later years of primary...

Going to bed with the active intention of trying to have a lucid dream, and being so focused on remaining conscious, that you end up getting zero sleep whatsoever that night. .... just me?

I'm not sure that either of these really qualify as plot holes. They were just questionable plot devices thrown in hastily, near the end of two otherwise fairly enjoyable RPGs, that were so farfetched I struggled to wrap my head around them: 1) Star Ocean III After the dramatic deaths of...

I'm struggling to think of an answer for this question. Generally, I like to make sure that I'm going to enjoy a game before I go to the trouble of actually buying it. And even if I get as far as that, only to discover that I'm not having as much fun as I expected to (e.g. Maximo), I tend to...

Here's me. I am indeed the master of smiling-without-smiling. With my Irish penpal, Claire, who came to visit in the summer. Scotland is a pretty gorgeous place to live. (Panoramics ftw!)

Tossed the word "Shit" into Last.fm one day - and this is what the search produced for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09upNxTBnv8 On another note, here's a pretty awful song by a band that I actually like. I've tried to listen to it the whole way through, but I just can't bring...

Can't think of many instances of this happening where it particularly irritated me. If a friend mispronounces a word, I just tease them for it. But then, when it comes to obscurely named characters in books or video games, where the name is at no point pronounced out-loud, I'll disagree quite...

I have a bust of Aristotle, although I would have to go with Plato as my favourite philosopher overall.

My girlfriend suggested I buy the Baldur's Gate 4-in-1 pack on Amazon about a year ago. Got it for a bargain price and she was so right about it being one of the greatest RPGs of all time. The sheer difficulty can be quite ridiculous at times, but the story and characters are just plain...

Happy without being cheesy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGHbOZBSv18 Also, the original Sims soundtrack always seems to help me feel happy and relaxed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs5QGN-zhwM

I remember one of the weirdest customers I've ever served. A tall, slim black man, who I would later come to refer to as Caterpillar Guy; because his only purchase was around 30 different pairs of shoes. And the pairs had nothing in common whatsoever. They were completely random design and sizes...

I live in Scotland. As I was giving one customer his change back, he specifically requested "English tenners only. I'm going home soon. Don't want to bring back any of your currency with me". Sure, it's not the dumbest request that's ever been made of me, but it was definitely one of the...

Probably the sight of my own face, after having been assaulted by about six guys, haha. God damn, I looked a mess xD
