My Dad ranted one day whilst watching me play the Omaha beach landing act from Medal of Honour. "If you're really going to play these games you should get one life. Buy the game for £xx and when you're die that's it you're done - because that's what it was actually like".

This was one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. Regarding propaganda posters. I'm well aware that there's nothing new to incitement of hatred. Access to reach 10's of thousands of people across the globe at a click of a button represents a different opportunity (and greater...

What about people who expose other people on social media?

I had to do a presentation recently on "The Internet" and had to highlight the good and the bad. For the bad I said that I felt that there are too many people talking about things that really had no bearing on them at all. We get the opportunity now to see in to the most intimate aspects of...

Good morning Vietnam for me. Followed by 1 hour photo.

If people insist on making me sleep in a bed with sheets they get untucked. I hate that feeling of having my feet pressed down. But on my own bed I use a duvet.

If you're in early access and providing feedback on alphas or betas then you can in some way be considered as being involved or helping development. But unless it's directly feeding back on a bug whether your voice / opinion on something in the game makes any difference to the final product is...

I can safely say, having been playing "computer" games for 34 years of my life, that you're never too old to be a gamer. What does feel weird though is coming to this forum these days and knowing that the demographic is typically between 18 to 24.

Speaking from the point of view of a proper older "nerd" This nerd thing seems to be another largely US phenomenon. It didn't really exist where I grew up (UK). I was a gamer as a kid (first system was pre Atari 2600) and have been all my adult life. Kids around my way played D&D during autumn...

There's been a few films I haven't watched because of their IMDB reviews. There's too much internet these days, it's easier not to read other peoples opinions. I'll watch something on its own merit because the trailers look interesting. I'll give something a few episodes and if it doesn't...

Maybe I just like childish irreverant comedy, but Mallrats and Clerks 2 (and to some extend Dogma and Strikes Back) are amongst my favourite comedies. In particular in Clerks 2 there are 3 scenes that shine. The LoTRO argument, the learning to dance scene and in particular for me the dialogue...

It's an exceptionally liberal minded view that all bad people can be cured through kindness. The reality is that some people are bad and will remain that way to the extend that they will take advantage of any kindness and manipulate the situation to achieve their ends.

There are days where I learn something new, but today wasn't one of them - so far. I'm sure I'll be learning something new in my guitar class, which coincidentally enough will be learning how to play Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley.

Pandas don't deserve a 2nd chance. Any creature without enough sense to reproduce enough to harness its own species is clearly doomed. Its not like it was hunted to extinction like the White-Rhino or the Siberian tiger are likely to be. I'd hang around for one of those two.

I take a moment to imagine the fears and horrors that men and women must face in the name of war. I then try to think of the joy when the wars are declared over. Particularly WWI and WW2 where most had no choice but to become soldiers. At the end I make a wish that there will be more peace...
