"How's work going?" Stephen Hawking might have an interesting answer to that question. I work in an office. Shall I sit you down and tell you some anecdotes about my VBA macros? "Don't you get bored sitting up there on your own [in an internet-connected room full of computers, musical...

Most recent was M&B: With Fire and Sword. Thought adding guns to Mount and Blade would be fun. Turns out it isn't.

Oblivion: I have a good idea! Let's link 90% of the game's monster spawn code to the player's level...and make it possible for them to level up through Speechcraft, Mercantile, Sneaking and Alchemy! (Sure, we figured out how to game the system soon enough, but that first character was going...

Hmmm...last game I played was EU3, so that means my secret admirer is...France. We're going to need more lube.

When people play loud music next door, or in the street. I can understand it late at night when you're trying to sleep, but at five or six in the afternoon, doesn't bother me nearly as much as it seems to do to some people. And my hair. Don't I get annoyed when it falls across my eyes? No, I...

One Irish great-grandfather, one grandfather who was a native of Belize; otherwise, English as far as I know.

Akercocke. If there was any justice in the world, they would be at least as big as Cradle of Filth, if not bigger.

He does say it, although it's part of the gibberish song he's making up, so I don't know if he's actually claiming to be a Jew or if it was just the first word he could think of that rhymes with "you". I'm no expert on Judaism, but I was always told it's a serious breach of Jewish religious...

That's a fact, they don't allow non-whites into the BNP. Their main gimmick is, and has been since forever, to present themselves as a "White Rights" lobby, although they've been substituting words like "British" (which, in their vocabulary, means "white Christian") or "indigenous" (as if we...

I do pretty much the same thing. I can't be bothered to figure out exactly why a slider labelled "Jaw" is affecting my character's eyebrows, so I just mash the Random button until my character stops looking like he has a genetic disorder.

Well, someone once told me that John Lennon could beat up Marilyn Manson. I conceded this was very likely true, and asked why I would care. Apparently the person I was speaking to had somehow got the idea that Manson's spindly, cross-dressing Goth Bowie schtick was supposed to project a "tough"...

I can't say I actually like it; I think it's an attempt to conduct philosophy through aesthetics instead of argument, which rankles with me on a gut level. Then again, I've read philosophers' discourses on the problems that language throws up in their particular line of work - I particularly...

I think it's because the "e" and "i" are both pronounced separately. It's A-the-ism, not a-thee-sm. That wouldn't explain "protein", though.
