    Does anyone sincerely want to play as "ugly" characters in games?

    The six year old next to me says "Yes!" they want to play ugly characters. So there.

    MOBA'S

    I logged about 4000 hours in DotA 2 since I started playing and what I do most of these days is playing ability draft where you build your own hero out of a random base hero/stats and any skill you can grab from a pool. It's broken/imba/hilarious and easier to take less seriously - which makes...

    Miniature Ice Sculptures Make Mario, Batman and Godzilla Even Cooler

    Fair call, my dad's engineering his own CNC router and I'll have to show him this cleverness! It's still a phenomenally classy idea and while I dunno about mass producing them all that apple monitor looks simple enough to be formed in a silicone mold as is already used for creative ice cube...

    Another sexy brit voice on the escapist? Colour me strangely aroused. Oh well. :)

    Lionhead Tweets Old Fable 2 Artwork for National Cleavage Day, People Get Mad

    ...$!@% I love boobs, though. Definitely seems like an overreaction to sweater puppies. Just because it's jubilant jubblies time doesn't mean that the melon-bearers of the world have been diminished to a pair of jugs. At the risk of sounding like a tit, I think we could all benefit from a...

    Payday 2 and kicking

    Once you get some heist experience and infamy under your belt, your tolerance for nonsense from green heisters does plummet because they can *really* slow a heist down or bring it to a fruitless yet sticky end. There's been Shadow Raids I've done (requiring consistent, near-flawless stealth...

    Asbestos in the workplace

    My personal feeling is that this microscopic amount of asbestos has to be very lucky (unlucky for us) to get all the way through a moist airway designed by evolution to filter contaminants. Of course you don't go disturbing it or huffing the dust, there's no excuse to be blasé about it, but it...

    Tim Burton to direct Dumbo Remake, ###### you Disney

    Should be Michael Bay or George Lucas, how else to get that authentic racial stereotype of the crow boys?

    LIFE HAX!

    I like a heat gun or hair dryer for this, get them hot and the adhesives of the type I've seen used for price/barcode stickers will come away breezily - in the most ideal situations, there isn't even any adhesive residue left to clean up. Just don't heat your fingers. :)

    Jimquisition: Ubisoft - A Sad History of PC Failures

    Anyone else think Uplay bears a striking resemblance to the overly attached girlfiend meme? TGFJS.

    Valve Bans Developer From Steam for Prank Exposing Vulnerability - Update

    If Valve had no intention of fixing the problem, you might side with Duda, but if from Valve's perspective Duda was pouring gasoline on the fire they meant to extinguish? While trespassing in a way he wasn't supposed to? Then Valve's reaction would be in no way inappropriate - though I am happy...

    Worth Playing Mass Effect 1-3 from Game 1?

    The first Mass Effect looks a little bland these days - everything felt pretty much like SW KOTOR recycled for Starcontrol fans the last time I looked at it and it's a bit of a slog when your intent is to remind yourself how it goes and get to the next installment. But if you enjoy playing it...

    Bosses that you JUST. CAN'T. BEAT.

    I had cloak and lots besides, didn't save me, perhaps wasn't using it optimally but I'd gotten that far. :( I beat Letho! :D

    Bosses that you JUST. CAN'T. BEAT.

    This, I have a screenshot of that bastard bristling with NINE active drones in what feels like an absolute brick wall of "screw you." where I can't imagine the kind of massively overpowered ship I'd need to have a chance against something that can block everything and meanwhile scupper you in...

    Poll: It's not gay if...

    It's gay, maybe there's a good reason for it to be not very gay, maybe even so absolutely marginally gay that you can convince someone it actually isn't really gay at all long enough for it to happen, but in that big ol' pile of sugar there is yet a grain of gay.
