    Intel Customer Support and newegg: Anyone else hate them?

    This is very true. Let them get on with their job, faulty hardware happens. Be glad it's still under Newegg's warranty as you'd have a whole other issue if their's was through. Customer support is often crap these days, the best way to get what you want quickly is to hassle them.

    Poll: Minors Buying 18 rated video games.

    It doesn't particularly bother me as I usually just tell them to bugger off. If they start trying to reason with me then I usually just lecture them on why it's wrong for me to buy them whatever. I've never been asked to buy a game though, usually alcohol and cigarettes.

    Oldest bit of tech?

    Bechstein Grand Piano, it's over 100 years old (can't remember how old exactly) as well as a wind up phonograph.

    Your Headphones

    Sennheiser HD202. I use them for listening to music, gaming as well as in the recording studio. They're pretty good imo. £24 on Amazon I think.

    You have just been beaten by your mortal enemy... Last words?

    "Tell Mary-Sue it's in the sock draw." or "Kill me now and you'll never know the truth."

    Poll: New Batman Villain?

    Harley Quinn (the original style one, not the AA version). Would tie in well with the aftermath of The Dark Knight.

    Your PC Essentials

    1. Adobe Lightroom 2.5 2. Spotify I can't really think of a 3rd essential. Although I use Firefox currently I wouldn't die if I had to use IE. I need Lightroom because I need to edit/process photos on a regular basis and although most of my music collection is on CD anyway, spotify would...

    Discriminative contests?

    Is it possible that it's not The Escapist that distributes the prize(s) to the winner(s)? For some of the competitions I'd assume it's whoever is publishing the game that the comp is about or whatever else the prize is.

    Real live tactics used online (can they work?)

    Breach and clear tactics usually work quite well. 2 guys take cover on either side of a door, a third opens a door, flashbangs the room and the other two run in and kill anyone in the room followed by the third.

    Some stuff off my dA profile: Also, the 2nd image is 3D, you'll need red and blue glasses for it to work.

    How often are you in the zone?

    If I'm angry or upset I'm unstoppable. Sometimes I just play well regardless of mood.

    Poll: Queston for you male escapists

    I'd spend a day with Rivers Cuomo over any woman.

    Modern Warfare 2 Writer Claims Controversy Was Worth the Risk

    The only thing that irritates me about the "controversy" with MW2 is that Activision/Infinity Ward are claiming that they took risks putting the controversy in the game. Risk or no risk, controversy or no controversy, they game was still going to sell millions of copies on day 0. If there had...

    Poll: Singers: Male or Female?

    I wouldn't say I prefer I either. I look at it on a case by case basis. Although in my music library there are more male singers than female, this is merely due to the fact there are far more male singers in rock bands (rock is a pretty large percentage of my overall collection which is already...
