    Things You Can't Prove, But Believe

    Yes! I keep finding it so hard to explain to people that, actually, maybe atoms and electrons and whatever as we use them aren't actually how things work, but it lets me know that if I add this blue liquid to that green one then it will turn red. Sure, our explanations of energy levels and...

    Japan Ready To Ban "Gacha" Gameplay

    Stick the two company names together and you get GreeDeNA. No? I though it was funny.

    Poll: My Computer is dying on me....

    Here's a crazy idea - if you like the OS, buy a windows laptop and buy OSX separately - then install it and get rid of windows. Tada, cheapo mac.

    Oldest movies you've seen?

    I remember watching Throne of Blood in a school assembly. I found it hilarious because the opening sequence has men riding in and out of fog for a good 20 minutes with no context or fighting. I imagine it's meant to be the part where Macbeth cleaves a bloke from 'nave to chops' or something like...

    Online Gaming Blues

    What would be the legal position of a fan who made a hack to allow a custom built interface/network for their favourite game? Something like forged alliance forever for SupCom is what I'm thinking.

    Online Gaming Blues

    I know this isn't possible on consoles, but it surprises me that when it comes to taking servers down for PC games the code for the multiplayer portion isn't released so that if there is still some kind of community presence it can maintain itself. Of course, there's probably legal reasons but...

    What game got you into gaming?

    Age of Empires 2. More games should have a random map generator. And a map editor. Spent aaaages with that game.

    Looking for new mouse

    It's moments when your mouse runs out of batteries when you're doing really well that scare me away from using wireless mice. I have this http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/fireglider-black which is pretty good and cheap too. Although since you specified wireless I don't really know why I'm...

    Poll: what is the best concert you have ever been too

    Saw Machine Head in November 2010 in Newcastle, but unfortunately I was too exhausted to really enjoy them because Hatebreed were supporting and they were unbelievable. I mean, their music is terrible but they do a great live show. Machine Head have some great music but they insist on ramping up...

    Battlefield 3 and Team Work

    I find if you just have two or three friends who are willing to play with you and voice chat then you can get pretty good team play with your squad. Never managed whole team coordination though. I also find that if there's no communication on the enemy team but your team has even one squad...

    Where?s the Gray Side?

    The real shame is that they nailed it in Mass Effect 1. My Shepherd made decisions based on what felt right at the time and since your paragon and renegade points were independent of one another I was never locked out of an option. Then ME2 came along with the percentage system and made me...

    Poll: Minecraft 1.8 Endless Ocean

    Thanks, it completely worked. I actually shouted in joy when I stepped out of the portal and saw a cow. So there you have it. The ocean is not endless. Thread closed I guess.

    Poll: Minecraft 1.8 Endless Ocean

    I typed 'mostly' into the seed box, dunno the number. I wouldn't expect continents or anything though. It's just... well. Ocean.

    Poll: Minecraft 1.8 Endless Ocean

    Yeah I saw that but really hoped someone would have been in this situation and found the shore. The alternative is that I have to go 1250 blocks in the nether to get out of the ocean, which is 40 stacks of netherack... I guess that's doable.
