    Bullying: Stop the complaining.

    Personally, I always found that a healthy sense of humour and the ability to not take yourself seriously is the greatest weapon in your arsenal against bullying. Insults are not effective if you just laugh them off, or make them about yourself. People always thought I had low self esteem because...

    When will we see a NON-attractive woman in a video-game?

    Poor Grimsdottir, they took her from a bookish, intelligent but kinda-plain looking brunette to a bad-ass over-sexed redhead over the course of 4 games. She's probably my favourite character from the series (her speaking voice is hypnotising) but I never understood why the had to constantly...

    How Far Can A Franchise Push You (Before You Just Quit)?

    Am I the only one who wasn't disappointed with Resident Evil 6? I really enjoyed the demo, especially Leon's segment. I felt Jake's was a bit unbalanced, but interesting strategically. Sure, I'm a bit late to Resident Evil, I only started playing the games earlier this year, but I've finished...

    FEAR 3 for PC. Trying to test out the Co-op and multiplayer for my review and ain't getting squat.

    Favourite Anime/Cartoon Scene

    Orihime's goodbye to Ichigo from Bleach. It's scenes like this that remind me why I love the show so much. The culmination of her character's incredible growth ever since her return from Soul Society. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YMFqXgvQj4

    Boss battles you won by the seat of your pants

    The last boss in Dead Space. Got through the whole thing without dying with one tiny slither of health and absolutely no ammo whatsoever. Never have I experienced such insanity again. Has since become my favourite boss fight and is probably the main reason I consider Dead Space one of the best...
