    Windows 8 and gaming

    Basically, apart from minecraft, it really is no different than Windows 7 for gaming. The only difference is what you click to launch the game, unless you keep your game icons on your desktop. Windows 8 really is very good for tablets and touch-screen laptops. It has many of the features of...

    Killcams for FPS campaigns

    My only concern is that it might kill immersion a bit. Maybe if it only happened when you pressed the back/select button or something?

    Games with unicorns in them...How many are there?

    There was one in oblivion. My friend spawned it when I first started playing it and I used it throughout my whole playthrough I'm pretty sure there was a quest where you had to eat it's horn or something

    Poll: Gaming habits seeping in to the real world.

    I had a 24 hour long halo bender with my friend. The next day, after no sleep, we went for a walk. I picked up a stick, and he walked up behind me, and my first thought was to hit him with my energy sword. I did so. He was on the ground for quite a while.

    Why not adopt?

    It's a lot harder to love a kid you've adopted. My sister showed me this. She adopted a 5 year old. He's 10 now, and they don't act like family. They act as though she's a foster carer. It's really quite sad.

    What is your GOTY so far?

    To be honest, I'm very dissapointed with this years games so far. There have been some good ones - ME3 and Borderlands 2, for example - but none have really taken my fancy all that much. (Although I an very picky when it comes to games). If the year ended now, my goty would be Borderlands. But...

    Game Franchise(s) with the richest lore?

    The Elder Scrolls. Definitely. Anyone who doesn't think so should go have a read of some of the in-game books. Did anyone know that the Bosmer are carnivores? And that any animal they kill, they must eat, including other elves? How about the tale about the Dwarf who hid in a mech suit and...

    Was Half-Life meant to be some kind of landmark?

    Valve have always been very good at establishing tone and atmosphere in their games. It really helps immersion, which is arguably the most important thing when it comes to making a great game. In HL2, you really felt like you were on the run from an oppressive power, but also felt like the...

    Bronies! Are you ashamed of yourself? - UPDATED

    I'd like to say that I'm not ashamed, but I am I wear my futurama t-shirts in public and my gaming ones, but not my pony ones. My girlfriend will never discover that I watch ponies, and neither will my friends. It's not that I'm ashamed, really, I'ts that I'm really not bothered to explain my...

    Am I the only one that's getting tired of Fads Teenage Girls like get ripped on all the time

    Because the people who rip on these things are young men on the internet. And young men on the internet are misogynists. Hooray for generalization! Anyway, stupidity aside, I agree with you. I though twilight was/is an alright film series and I can understand why people would like Bieber. I...

    Poll: Let's talk the future of technology

    You really should change "technology" to computing. I think the greatest contribution to technology will be whoever invents the fusion reactor, and it certainly won't be one of the above. Anyway, on the topic of computing, if you're talking about the greatest contribution to the future of...

    Ha ha! Racist.

    I'm assuming that you were talking about racism against the african people. However, the tribal guys were white. So I'm not really sure what you're referring to. Yeah, the whole "magical chanting natives" thing is a bit cliche, but it's not racist, and it's been done a million times before.

    Poll: Is anything exempt from humour?

    As a white, upper-middle class, straight, western, heterosexual, healthy, anatomically normal man who has never experienced the death of a relative, has only ever lived in a town that is primarily compromised of white, upper-middle class, straight, western, heterosexual, healthy, anatomically...

    The whole My Little Pony "20% Cooler" Meme is ironically dumb.

    A meme is just a joke. If you see it every now and then, it's funny, even if you've seen it many times before. If you see it being used and abused in every corner of the internet, it becomes unfunny. And then when you see it some more, it becomes downright agitating.
