    Microsoft Hints at Pre-Owned Fee For Xbox One Games

    *Looks at game pile* 20 disks; thirteen loaners from mates, seven purchased from what tiny tiny cash flow I possess. Bollocks, well there goes that method. Honestly though, I can't see this being a big problem. I just need to stop this annoying habit of buying games while out with a mate...

    Create a new game plot using the name of an existing one.

    Silent Hill: You are pursued by a stealthy mound. Max Payne: (Kinnect compatible) Players smash each other in the face. Last to opt out, wins. Pac Man: A GTA inspired open world game in which you play as a removalist. Hitman: A cheap knock-off of Max Payne

    Next Star Wars Film to have 100% More Tea

    There, there. We had episode two and three filmed down here. A small portion of episode one as well, I believe, but don't quote me on that. Of course, as our dollar gets stronger and stronger, there seems to be less incentive for big overseas productions to visit.

    Do people actually believe the thing about Australia's wildlife being dangerous?

    Don't break the myths. We use them to avoid overpopulation. Can't have too many people sharing this secret paradise.

    weird things about you, that no one would notice, unless you told them

    Physically, I am missing two teeth on my lower jaw. Never had them, never going to get them. Doesn't cause me too many problems although the rest do seem to play musical gums a bit between dentist visits. Non-physcally... well... sort of physically... ... but, self inflicted rather than...

    Fellow writers: how do you get past your writer's block?

    There's a couple different methods I use. When plotting out a new story. I tend to start off by creating my characters. I'll generally have a handful of narrative points I want to eventually want to hit, but nothing with too much detail. Generally, while I'm sorting out the different...

    Has seeing a spoiler ever made you rage?

    I have a mate who is absolutely shocking with this. To add insult to injury, he is also one of those gamers who will play a brand new game beginning to end the day it comes out with no breaks at all. After waiting over a year for Heavy Rain to make an appearance we both got it on launch day...

    Fellas, What would you do?

    Where people can vote on what their favorite move is? OT: I wouldn't be thrilled she kept it from me, but if that's the work she wants to do, let her go at it, I suppose.

    Poll: Achievements and Trophies. Do you even care?

    I am a bit of a trophy whore myself. My friend and I have a friendly competition going as we try to out do each others PSN score. Having said that, going for the platinum is generally something I'll just do on a game I really enjoyed but it can be a fun way to extend the experience a few more...

    Games for a Video Game Storytelling Class?

    Granted I've no experience with teaching, but can't the M restriction be lifted if you obtain signed permission from parents. I'm sure you can find some well written games that fall below M but given that the greater majority of the games industry live in the M and MA bracket, you'll be missing...

    Your "FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU" Moments...

    I've had more than a few situations where I've been chasing a target down and have accidentally wandered too close to a lamp post or some other object, where upon Ezio has immediately decided to change course, despite me pulling in the other direction and sit on the lowest ledge while I...

    Any GOOD fanfics out there?

    I thought my Borderlands [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6743410/1/Borderlands_The_Movie] piece was pretty good. Hehe. Sorry... Being serious though, The best fan fiction I've read so far has to be Tiberium Wars [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3654039/1/Tiberium_Wars].

    Calling all single people, what are you doing to survive the 14th?

    I'll buy myself a box of chocolates. Sweet, cheap and no sharing required.
