Always, without fail, I will take the class that can take the most hits, draw attention to itself, and at the same time heal/otherwise support the rest of the team. Even in singleplayer this is the kind of character I go for, I just can't help it. FPS-wise, MEDIC!

I'm going to throw in another mention for Ninja Gaiden. The game was phenomenal! The fact I couldn't get passed the first boss (the guy with the tonfa in the dojo?) for ages just made me play it even more. Yes, some of the later enemies had really dick moves, but once you knew how to fight...

Captain John Price. If he's in the more recent games then I've just not seen him... nothing else would make me go back. Was never in to the MP as it was. Think of that what you will.

Watched some, read none. Never got in to it, really. Stuck on my Wheel of Time and Game of Thrones; got the TV show of the latter and I would give literally anything for a film/TV series of WoT.

1512 hours or... one time in the Falklands. Decisions, decisions.

After spending the Christmas and New Year period with the family, obviously a lot of people needed to murder computer generated characters :) EDIT: ... or just unwind with a non-violent game, of course.

Rome 2: Total War It was defending a town (no walls) but defensive sieges always seem to be a lot easier than assaults. Anyway! It was an attacking force of 2000+ against my 400 or so (plus the crappy garrison units), and most of my army were mounted, so not exactly "shield wall" material...

I had Zelda on GameBoy. Was the boss (think it was a genie of some kind?) where you had to throw the bottle against a wall to damage him. One sitting I kept on just missing the wall and eventually punched and broke the screen of my beloved handheld... more rage than quit I suppose :P EDIT...

Earthworm Jim! Seriously the best game of my childhood and always made me laugh!

Sword and shield, specifically those used by the Roman Legionaries. The Gladius was a beautiful weapon for them; good balance and not too long to be unwieldy. Six inches of point beats any amount of edge! 'course using this sword on its own wouldn't be the best, at most a glorified dagger, but...

I went for a job advertised as Telesales (to get my foot in some kind of door) which turned out to be a pyramid scheme kind of thing, door-to-door selling (or door-to-door irritating as I'm sure many people saw it). I gave it nearly the whole of my "trial" day before saying something along the...

It's fairly easy to see how Marijuana could be made legal, monitored and taxed, not so much with other substances. Smoking weed is no different to smoking a roll-up to most people. I've not met any angry or dangerous stoners, not to say they don't exist I'm sure. It would be very hard to...

Accidentally rebooting a customers phone system during peak business hours... around 200 extensions blocked making/receiving calls for about 5 minutes. A company that big, and doing what this particular client did, lost a lot of money during this time. Thankfully I wasn't bent over my desk...

I have a degree in Games Design from Staffordshire University I am proficient in 3D modelling (predominantly Autodesk software, which of course would require a license for anything commercial, but I've got a few free programs lying around) My final year dissertation was in Animation - bit...

How about Samuel L. Jackson? "I've had enough of these mother-lovin' Daleks on this mother-lovin' planet!" (Plane version right there)
