    Yeah, my sirname is Titchmarsh, after speaking to some people over the phone about some problems with my router, eventually we found the problem with the power supply, so they sent a new one... adressed to Mr Titmouse. *sigh*

    Why Does the World Think so Poorly of Teenagers?

    because, teens, no matter how mature, just dont quite understand fully. Having been there myself, what I know now, and what I thought I knew when i was a teen are not totally different, but i was certainly lacking in something. That something is experience, which only getting older can help you...

    You, another person( or alien/robot/undead thing ) and a weapon.

    Well seeing as we can have a robot, id take a BattleMech, probably a Mad Cat or Daishi or something, then the stupid zombies wouldnt even bother me, as for weaponry, the Mech is armed to the teeth... no need.

    What books are you reading?

    I just read Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan, his best book by far. Its a blade runner-esque film noir kind of detective story about an ex-secret special forces guy. I love they way Morgan describes the intricacies and life of the world around the character without directly explaining...

    if you can chose how you would die what will it be?

    Depending on how fast you froze could significantly change how much pain you experience, if you were wondering the arctic in your birthday suit, bits of you would die first, like your penis, your fingers, toes and your nose, they would burn like you were on fire, then it would slowly creep...

    Best FPS

    Im going to say that while all of the game mentioned above are good games, none of them can really be called the best FPS because there are some golden oldies that I would put above them. Original AvP would be mine, the one and only game that has ever made me come close to messing my pants...

    Your Avatar?

    It's a photo of the most awesome sign ever conceived, which resides in my local pub in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK, it says "Be nice to people don't be a tw**" I like that philosophy

    Violent games - are we being hypocrites after all?

    I just wanted to add a little corner of my mind into this debate. I personally think that while defending our way of entertainment is noble, some people are going the wrong way about it. Anyway, the reason behind all the violence and immersion is because, gaming, like other art and...

    Bioshock and Moral Choices in Gaming Generally

    I agree Deus Ex was well written, i played it through a certain way, and heard my friend talking about the way he had completed it, which was different. I played it through again and it was different to the way he had completed it as well... amazing

    Reccomend an RTS for Me

    >:( not rubbish by todays standards, it was massively ahead of its time, yeah ok the graphics are very dated, but it doesnt look that bad, and it does have massive resolution capability, i think my bro even got it working in dual screen, now that is competent coding.

    Reccomend an RTS for Me

    I still play, with my brother, and I have now got my housemates into it. Hehe, if you go for that, you'll want to get the expansion the Core Contingency too. That adds rapid fire artillary, amphibious kbots and hovercraft to the mix, all the more carnage to play with.

    Reccomend an RTS for Me

    Erm, well seeing as I like all the games on your previous list. I would recommend C&C3, like Generals, but without the comically bad voice acting. Homeworld 2, because its epically good, if its too simple for you download the complex mod, that equals many an hour of fun. Total...

    Zero Punctuation: Webcomics

    imo, I for one like CAD, and it strikes me that Yahtzee has stated his dislike of this comic before, yet he still checks up on it enough to see the latest story line and finds time to vent about it. In the end we are all entitled to our own opinion, but i can understand buckleys reaction to ZP...
