This subject came up at my work a few years ago, and one of the simple girls said that she would simply go and hide in a submarine until the war blew over. When asked where she would get a submarine in New Zealand she said she would build one. When we asked how, she replied "Just, ah, get the...

Yeah! Working at the movies rules! But what's happening to projection sucks big time. We recently decommissioned the last of our 35mm projectors and went full DCP, but it didn't even stop there for the corporate owners - no, they've also gone and centralized the controls for it all so that there...

Although online bullies may be sadists in real life, many of them are not extroverted enough to express it in person. In other words, the vast majority of online trolls probably lack the balls to troll IRL.

Cyan worlds had the right idea, but ever since they wrapped up the myst series they've just been re-releasing the first game over and over again on every single platform. Although their games started off a little on the hard side, the last 3 were easy enough for everyone to solve, but not so...

It seems hardly fair questioning the escapism of survival games, when you could be playing, say, papers please. Playing papers please actually feels like a real job I once had. The memorizing, the 'oh-shit-I-hope-I-didn't-fuck-that-up' feeling... Plus once you start playing you can't get away...

As a recovering Ridiculous Fishing addict I can't agree more. Got this as part of the Humble Mobile Bundle 3, and it really stood out from the other games (as well as Rymdkapsel which also stole several hours of my life). My only gripe is that I found the game still had issues with locking up...

After spending last night attempting to play Draw A Stickman by only drawing wangs, this poem was just what I needed.

Don't stab Brian Blessed. We need him for our banking adverts.

If FTL was a really good space re-make of Oregon Trail, then Consuming Shadow is a lackluster lovecraftian re-make along the same lines. Lovecraft's material has rarely been incorporated well in to the realm of gaming, unless you enjoy spawning hordes of rainbow cthulhus in scribblenauts...

I spent hours as a kid playing the tutorial level of Tomb Raider 2. Instead of taking you by the hand and telling you which buttons to push, it simply left you in a training ground at Lara Croft's house while you worked out how to perform all the actions you needed in-game by trial and...

I'm pretty sure every woman on earth struggles with the mascara thing, it was most likely invented by the worlds worst misogynist. That aside the worst thing is taking photos, like with a camera with an actual viewfinder. As soon as you close one eye and bring it up to your head, your whole...

Gravity! When the trailer came out I was like "A movie where Sandra Bullock floats away in to space? Excellent!" Then I heard that people very high up in the aus/nz cinema business were claiming it to be "the best movie ever", and whats more people further afield were claiming it was the...

I truly believed I was born to be an audio engineer or a musician but it turns out I'm terrible at both. Though in pursuing this people identified that I'm good at photography and art, so now I do that because it beats working for other people.

Not being able to run away is the worst. When you're frozen or you can only run in slow motion. Or similarly, when you try to fight but your punches are also in slow motion and do no damage. The worst.

I always thought being a teacher was the worst job you could possibly have. Now I have a job as a tutor and I'm so goddamn excited. I'm planning miles in advance as if I'm organizing my wedding or something.
