    DOTA 2: "Sorry, no new people welcome"

    Look man, that's MOBAs for you. There's no simple answer, no easy way in. If you dived in without any preparation, you were destined to crash and burn. The best way to get into it is to play with friends; the online community is full of assholes and backseat drivers, I'd stay well away from...

    What is your homepage?

    Google. It's like... the open road of the world wide web. You can go anywhere. The internet's your oyster. Nothing but the name and the search bar (and that stupid little box telling me to get Chrome, which really puts a damper on the drama of the thing, but oh well).

    Movie Trailers: Warm Bodies - Trailer

    What a clever idea for a movie. But now, having just seen all the important parts of the movie, I'm not sure I'll bother watching it. There's just no imagination in trailers these days.

    Poll: Does Wreck-it Ralph count as a "video game movie"? (Spoiler-free)

    Of course not. General consensus is that a "video game movie" is a movie based on a video game, or a video game franchise. Wreck-it Ralph is not. I suppose you could argue that it fits the technical definition of "video game movie", but what would be the point? As the term is commonly used...

    Your latest earworm(s).

    This short video pretty much sums up Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones. It's hilarious, I can't stop watching it.

    Trailers: BioShock Infinite - Beast of America Trailer

    I love the recent trend of game trailers with fantastic songs. In my opinion, it works better without gameplay footage, like in these videos: I still really like this one though.

    Top most hated/liked Cliche's

    Love: The warrior with a code - a person who abides by a strict set of rules or principles, and never deviates, no matter the cost. It doesn't even have to be a good or honorable code; the main thing is that they never break it. Rorschach is a great example. Hate: When two characters...

    Poll: "Room temperature."

    Uh... my ceiling fan's on the highest setting? We don't have a thermostat, because we don't have air-conditioning. Weather forecast says it's about 22.5 degrees Celsius right now, which feels pretty normal, so I guess that's what my room temperature is.

    Homophobia in a university newspaper, as well as other things!?

    The joke doesn't seem homophobic to me, it just seems tasteless. I'd say it shouldn't have been published, but I think it was an overreaction to label this as homophobia. That petition letter on the site sounds like it was written by someone with their head up their ass. I'm sure most of the...

    Poll: Gathered the Fleet (FTL Topic)

    I cannot answer this thread honestly, since I haven't unlocked the stealth, mantis, slug or mystery ship. However, boarding and clearing out enemy vessels is easily my favourite part of the game, so I suspect I'll prefer the mantis ship when I finally unlock it. My least favourite ship I...

    Your bad gaming habits

    I hoard ammunition like I'm saving for the zombie apocalypse. Multiple guns will get ignored unless the game forces me to use them, simply because I'm terrified of encountering the theoretical future boss/encounter that I will need every bullet, bomb, rocket & power cell to survive. Also...

    EA Botches Origin Coupon Giveaway

    Did anyone else check out that reddit thread? It's full of people quite happily and openly admitting to exploiting this. They're all congratulating each other. Some of them even have the nerve to complain that it doesn't work outside the US & Canada. It doesn't matter which company this...

    Moar Food!: Faux Pas that drive you crazy.

    I'm usually the one committing food faux pas. For one thing, I like my steak thin, dry & smothered in tomato sauce. For another, Hawaiian pizza is insanely delicious and you are missing out if you haven't tried it. I don't even like pineapple by itself, or ham; but the two together, on a...

    Poll: Cats or Dogs

    No! Cat owners and dog owners must always be at each others throats, and anyone who straddles the fence and likes both is a filthy coward! You're either with us or against us. OT: Dogs, especially small ones, because they're low maintenance and you can keep them inside. I just feel...

    LoadingReadyRun: The Crazy One

    At the end of the stinger, you should've had crazy* leap at replacement* with his teeth bared, then cut right before he makes contact. Double stinger! *(Sorry, I forgot their names.)
