I'm currently dual booting Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows XP. For games that work on Linux (either natively or through Wine) I use Ubuntu, and only switch to XP when necessary. Minecraft actually runs better for me on Linux. I should note that I primarily play on a console, using the PC for...

Last thing I killed? Guess that means I'm the Seattle Seahawks' Super Bowl dreams.

My combat skills are divided between hand-fighting and staff. I play a roleplay-heavy, combat-light game as this character, so it's not too much of a disadvantage.

That's actually my LARP kit. I'm totally a monk, and not a Jedi at all... *shifty look*

My computer's graphical capability is such that I have to run Minecraft on 'Tiny'. Anything above that crashes it.

Definitely go down the JobCentre, if they're offering £54 a week, you might as well take it until you can start working again. Also, there's an allowance for rent, so if you need to pay that it'll help. There's no shame in being on the dole as long as you're genuinely looking for work. I was...

Mine's called the Emancipated Catfish. Not sure why, the Cap'n decided on it before I joined the crew.

For me, it was the Beatles. I got so fed up of everyone I knew going on about how they were the best band in existence and responsible for everything good to do with music, so I ended up hating them. It's not that I actually dislike them as a band, I just find that they're very overrated, and...

Don't underestimate the connection made by all members of the family to their own baby. Not to mention the fact that sharing a genetic bond makes differences that you would never notice otherwise. I am the only natural child of my parents' 4 children, and despite my siblings having the same...

I think my main issue with legalising it is the possibility for the law to be abused. There's no grey area with incest laws (it either happened or it didn't), whereas trying to prove consent or lack thereof is a whole different issue. If it could be guaranteed that it would be kept between...

Mine is a somewhat long story. When I was about 13, I went to this youth club and, being the dork that I am, no-one remembered my name. At the time I could do a pretty good rendition of the 'Do you know the Muffin Man?' scene from Shrek, which was seemingly the first time that anyone noticed...

Terriers. There was so much more they could have done with it.

Sadly, due to university regulations, my dagger was confiscated, so all I have is a LARP sword and dagger, a couple of kitchen knives, a penknife, an umbrella, my bass, flute, violin bow, drum sticks and guitar. Oh, and a 6ft 1/2" diameter pole with a banner wrapped round it. I do also have a...

Definitely don't feel that you automatically have to give up gaming (or other interests), that just leads to resentment. Personal experience talking there. Of course, she has a right to some of your time and attention, so if she's specifically come over to see you, don't blank her for your...

I'll admit, it makes me a touch uncomfortable, purely because I don't want to accidentally place myself in a confrontation situation. It neither grosses me out nor gives me the horn, I just don't want to get someone coming over to me and accusing me of being a pervert because I happened to look...
