    Poll: Porn. Have you ever been caught with it and how would you react if you caught your kids?

    I have never been caught myself but I have had a pretty unsettling incident where my elder brother gave me a removable hard drive he had finished with, but had forgotten to wipe. Started looking through it just randomly. Found several folders marked as work so I passed this info onto my...

    Your first gun

    I could have sworn the guy was aquitted for that recently. And quite frankly I have been advised as a student of martial arts that it is better to be facing a stupid lawsuit and be alive, than be dead of a stabbing that you were trained to deal with but were afraid of the consequences.

    Original game ideas running short?

    Originally we were basing it off the mechanics of the aformentioned book so literally only a headshot is a confirmed kill, and that sheer numbers would make most plans impossible because of constraints of ammo. You might be okay with a single zombie or maybe even several but using the mechanics...

    How to do Stealth right?

    MGS4 seemed far too much action for me. For me it was at it's best in MGS1 for at least the stealth aspect. If you set off any alarms in MGS1 then you were probably going to be very dead thanks to infinite guards spawning in. Even armed with a machine gun you would probably be better off...

    Original game ideas running short?

    I've written several design documents for games for my university course and according to my lecturer friend, who was in the industry before coming to the uni, most of them start with: Influences: It's like this game(s) Unique points: Minor gameplay feature (which might not even make the...

    What was your first mature Anime?

    Uh... I really don't remember. My anime watching life started with whatever was available in HMV at the time, which was incredibly limited about 8 years ago. Think I started with either X or Ninja Scroll and then progressed onwards. Saw Golgo 13: The Professional at some point which I can...

    Poll: Weapon Degradation

    In most FPS's the idea of degradation detracts from the action. If it were Halo you wouldn't want to be running off to find parts to fix your weapons mid mission. Fallout 3, I feel, it adds to the immersion. It's 300 years since a massive nuclear war, and the weapons are bound to be piles of...

    9 year old boy commits suicide, videogames to blame....really?

    They make a much stronger (albeit completely invalid) point about GTA being a murder simulator teaching kids to kill. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure there is no game on the market where the idea is to kill yourself by hanging yourself in a toilet...

    Is a Lightsaber a Practical Weapon?

    I'd love to see a marine trying to use it in spec ops without the damn thing giving them away with the light and the sound effects you get when you 'draw' it. Rather go with a standard knife.

    How do you sleep?

    Snore loudly and steal the bedclothes according to my girlfriend. At least I'm not like my brother. Snore loudly with EYES WIDE OPEN! It's creepy...

    Those failed Protesters

    I thought most of them were only complaining about the fact that Valve wanted full price for what is essentialy an expansion pack to L4D. And they stopped complaining and actually bought it when the prices dropped a bit.

    Greenpeace Says Nintendo is Still Toxic

    Well ahead of Apple. Me thinks she uses one herself

    The stupidest snow incident you've seen/heard of, or you were subject to?

    My brothers just cleaned the garden and piled all the snow into a large mound. My one brother thought it would be fun to dive onto it a did a full flip onto this bank of snow. He sank about half a foot, arse down, and got completely stuck on both sides by compacted ice and couldn't get out...
