Battlefield 3. Starting 4 months after it came out meant that multiplayer was a huge up hill struggle. EA renting out all of their XBL servers did not help. I often found myself cursing under my breath when playing. Dawn of War II: Retribution probably takes the cake for me. Online is so...

It'd be... a unique experience to the say the least. For one, I (and I assume everyone else) would be constantly breaking the fourth wall (of reality). Odd situations. Like a friend I haven't seen for a while, being the lead actress in a Russian language film, featuring lots of violence and...

I hear you there. When I was... 9 or 10, I had the first one, the folding one. Damned thing flipped me forwards, giving me a massive scar on my chest and really hurting and damaging my knee. I always wondered with those folding scooters, did anyone really ever lose a finger folding them...

As someone who's been playing the game since the Beta was first released (which was what, 2010?) I can only say - ABOUT DAMNED TIME! :D Time to put the kettle on. Tea needs to be brewed. The French were fun and unique, but I love British tanks more.

Ah right, cheers for clearing that up. Certainly explains why some of my fellow British astartes over on the B&C forums were pissed off at GAME. Whilst I'm predominantly a 360 gamer, I do have Steam, and AFAIK, Space Marine was still blocked back in December.

Forgive me for asking this (genuine curiosity, I don't want this to sound hostile), but what was the 'crap they pulled' with the launch? I am in the UK, and bought my copy from GAME - admittedly I bought it a week after release after trading in CoD:BO, so I probably missed any BS they pulled...

Forgive my ignorance, but what part of teh webz is meant to be in that? To me that looks like any old normal car advert to me... the only thing I can think of is 'On the move' or 'Oscar Mike' as CoD:MW2 frequently shouts...

Providing the marine class has more than 3 classes (tactical, assault and devastator) I'll be happy. THQ - give me my bloody techmarines! Is it so much to ask? (answer - no. They're probably the easiest to balance, what with their mix of light shooting and light melee weapons. Come on, you've...

When you put it like that, I feel more inclined to agree with you. I've noticed on forums like Whineseer that it's usually the non-Brit players who say "X is too silly/stupid". I feel one of the reasons people don't like 40K marines is that they aren't like marines in popular culture. They...

Give this man an internet. (Although I'm not sure about the American argument) You can see this from some of the names given to characters. Inquisitor-Inspector Obi-Wan Watson Cleaseua Holmes from RT days. Or the Ork Gazzgul Thrakka (spelling?) - an Ork warlord who brutally attacked...

A zombie Admiral Nelson. I was thinking of going as a green army man from Toy Story, but I couldn't get the American GI webbing (or olive paint) in time. Maybe next year for that.

In my final year, the school actually had a fire (the weeek before I and my fellow 6th formers went on A2 studyleave). The electronics in the boiler room caught fire and 'asploded. On the (then) hottest day of the year. Last 2nd to last period, I had double free so was in art. Heard the...

Love history, always have. Lies (my) history (teachers) told me... Actually, having gone to a grammar school, years 7-10, my history was pretty good. The staff could decide what history they taught - rather than the national carriculum. Also helped that all our history teachers loved their...

Depends on what I have to be. For fighting - A challenger 2 MBT. Nothing says awesome like 64tonnes of Chobham armour and 120mm gun zooming at 35mph over rough terrain... If I'm the medic - CRARRV - Challenger recovery tank (ARV). I'm basically an AA tow-truck in a tank form. For flying -...

Ah the FatMan... Fallout3 would be very dull without it... Ok, this is more of a team effort but - BFBC2: Team on Valporismo (is that it? the one with the lighthouse in the day). Anyway, 4 snipers from the Russian team at the 2nd base (the hill with all the huts) are pinning the entire...
