    who are you using in borderlands 2

    I'm going with Maya, as the skill set looks the most interesting. Also I played Lilith in the first game. I would pay very good money for a DLC that lets me play through with the characters from BL1 (although there could be oddities meeting 'yourself' as an NPC).

    Borderlands 2

    I'll definately be buying it. Steam tells me I sank 510 hours into Borderlands, the vast majority of it in co-op. The only pain was that, because co-op was really sensitive to where in the various quests each character was, and because I played in various 4 player teams permed from a group...

    Witcher 2 Dev Defends Asking €1000 From Pirates

    Err, how does this make sense? They are not going to squandering the goodwill of those who bought it, and I suspect they really don't care if they squander the 'goodwill' of those who pirated it. And exactly what goodwill would those who pirated it have - "Oh, they're good guys, they made it...

    Can anyone tell me whats wrong with Steam?

    News to me. I have 250+ and it still works fine. I am lucky enough to have 2.5Mb broadband though (not steaming I know, but a lot better than many). One thing I would like is the ability to split Steam across multiple drives without RAID'ing them. But damn those sales.

    What Was Your First Gaming System

    I'm 49. My first gaming system was a Sharp MZ80K. It was basically a more powerful clone of the Commodore Pet.

    Time Travel Paradox

    You just create another time-line starting at the point that you changed the 'established' chain of events. See 'Primer'. And then go "Wibble".

    Poll: Are you afraid of Death ?

    I'm not afraid of death, 8 days in a coma was plenty of practice, so I've got the role nailed when it comes up. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to die, I'm just not afraid to.

    What companies do you actually refuse to buy from?

    Got to agree with this. I am strongly biased towards getting things through Steam; it makes it much easier to manage games and update them.

    Movie franchises that need to curl up and die.

    I've always thought there was something deeply ironic about a series of films about people not dying when they should have not dying when it should have.

    Please help me write an ending to this story

    It turns out they are already dead, and the ouija board was acting as a comms device talking to another oiuja board being operated by a live kid.

    Moral discussion: would you?

    Have you never seen 'Cruel Intentions' (Dangerous Liaisons)? That way lies deceipt, debauchery and death! If they're cute, go for it.

    50 Americanisms That Brits Apparently Hate

    As a Brit maybe 5 or 6 of those (if that) 'Americanisms' actually bother me. In several cases I actively deplore the 'Britsh' view expressed.
