    Zero Punctuation: Killzone 3

    There are so many stoned and drunk US tourists in Amsterdam, it's easy to get mixed up... but yes, gorilla games I mean Guerrilla Games is a Dutch subsidiary of a Japanese company. But that shouldn't stop us from bashing the US & A. I personally prefer the R1 button to shoot on the...

    Poll: Metroid: Other M killed Samus

    They turned her into just another bimbo. In other M she doesn't do anything as long as a man doesn't tell her to. For example in that much publicized part of the game where Samus is burning her butt off, until her boyfriend allows her to use her varia suit. Samus as helpless, scared little girl...

    Escape to the Movies: The Expendables

    To add to my posting above @Moviebob: I assume it won't make you loose sleep at night, but I won't be watching this show anymore. I noticed in a couple of reviews now how you are putting yourself above the "stupid masses". That is terribly pretentious (especially from a guy who basically says...

    Escape to the Movies: The Expendables

    I watched the Expendables and I liked it overall. Maybe Bob was watching a different movie, but Expendables is not even on my flop 10 of worst movies I watched this year. I also saw enough people loosing body parts or get sliced to pieces in this movie, to the point where I wonder how much body...

    When Uninteresting Women ATTACK! (the anti-relationship-problem thread?)

    There was this woman that was looking pretty hot and seemed very interested in me, but after going out a couple of times it turned out her favourite topic is herself. And she thinks people who play video games are stupid. Another woman I rejected was quite attractive, but talking to her was...

    What Movies have you re-watched the most?

    When I was a kid: Spaceballs Cannonball Run Vier Fäuste für ein Halleluja (don't know the English title) I think I watched each of those at least 10 times. More recently: Garden State Blade Runner V for Vendetta 300 ...other than that I hardly watch movies more than once anymore.

    The perception/stereotype of hoodies

    I don't know about New Zealand, but in the Netherlands I don't notice any negative perception because of hoodies. I wear them because they are practical and comfortable. We have a lot of wind here, the hood comes in handy then. But in the Netherlands you can pretty much wear what you want and...

    Crysis 2 Writer: Halo is "Full of Bullsh*t"

    Because then it would relate to the topic (a.k.a. the cited interview) in the first place? edit: Well, I bought Modern Warfare 2 for the single player campaign and co-op. Needles to say the singleplayer part was a huge letdown. If a game has a singleplayer option it has to be ready to be...

    "Fuck this" moments

    Modern Warfare 2 co-op: pretty much every time a juggernaut shows up. Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines: pre-patch fights at the end. The framerate was so bad that I could literally draw the image quicker than it was refreshed. X-Com - Ufo defense: attacking an alien base was always...

    Crysis 2 Writer: Halo is "Full of Bullsh*t"

    Apples, Bananas... Better comparison would be: you don't hire someone with a MSc. in electronics to connect your phone, but he can sure as hell do it. But try to get the guy who connects your phone to design one. A lot of video games look to me like they are written by people who don't really...
