I'm rather a fan of Many A True Nerd, a team of three who are fronted mainly by Jon. I particularly like his cathartic sense of humour and the intelligent way he goes about games. He doesn't just go "lol mash buttons it doesn't work that's so funny" like others seem to. There's also Byze...

I doubt that Civ 5 would be available with all of its DLC as a complete edition, though one can dream. A bundle of all the Skyrim DLC would also be nice, and perhaps more likely.

ARISE MY CHIMPANZEE MINIONS Let's see if we can go from stone tools and sticks to rifles. It'll be like the longest ever game of Civilization.

The BBC is mostly unbiased on the website, with the exception of certain sporting articles. Their TV breakfast news on the other hand is much too heavily focussed on UK news and cultural things (Music, film, theatrics), their interviews taking up much more time than foreign news stories. For...

I've also had the Microsoft Engineer Virus guy. First time I heard it, I just put the phone down laughing. Second time, I kept asking "What Computer/Internet/? I don't have one". The poor bastard's English couldn't keep up. Also, anyone in the UK- You can opt out of most (law-abiding)...

1998, I had a Win 3.1 PC, but not many games- Monopoly, Chess, Lego Island, an obscure FPS and an even more obscure racing game. I wouldn't have had a clue- I still mostly played with Lego those days.

Probably pros and cons like most other methods. It depends as well on your definition of unfinished. I got Minecraft in Beta 1.3, which had enough content for me to enjoy as a game but is very basic compared to the latest version. You get rapid prototyping and a fast implementation of some...

Don't make everyone an asshole. Everywhere you go, whatever side you take, its six of one and half a dozen of the other. Much as I sympathise with Ulfric and freedom of religion, he's a negligent Jarl whereas Elisif does at least try to keep everyone happy, if surrounded by lickspittles and the...

I rarely see people wearing shoes inside here in the UK. It's considered unhygienic, and very rude if you're in someone else's house. I don't know of any regional variations of this social norm though, but here you're as likely to be wearing wellies as you are trainers.

I made a thread about my pet hate a while ago, bad science. Specifically, the pseudo-science you often see in advertising. It's not so much about the words they say, UK law does clamp down on false information, but the context is all; and it's often open to interpretation, if not downright...

I'm surprised to find my account is older than many here. Which obviously counts for jack shit, as I rarely post and just lurk. Even when I do start typing something, I get halfway and think "Neither eloquent nor concise, forget it".

Slightly more OT, Wales does seem to have the sheep shagging image. Human population just over 3 million, sheep population closer to 11 million. People in my area either sound as English as toffee, or have a thick Welsh accent where they apply Welsh grammar to the English language- for example...

Oh great, I can adopt kids. Can they carry loot? More to the point, one thing I would like to do is to own big lunks of land, and also have an army to defend it. Less house, more castle. Add to this the jagged crown and the fact I'm both the richest person and greatest warrior in Skyrim, and...

Usually its a case of mistaken identity. I recently killed a random hunter in Skyrim, because he was dressed in the usual iron crap you find on a bandit. Sorry about that old chap *resurrect* No hard feelings? Good, 'scuse me while I still nick things from your knapsack.

First character, I was a sneaky archer, because I've always favoured the stealthy option to running in guns blazing. I didn't touch any magic at all until I noticed the tab menu option on the left. I was level 43 at this point, which completely contradicts how observant I am in looking for...
