    "Do you remember when.."

    LLOL. Yeah, I remember. It was just me and that other guy, getting along fine, then he went and said some silly things... about my mum. I had a friend that always won those games. He could kill a joystick in under 8 hours. It was amazing. Atari, all the way. The amiga was just a...

    Red? Coz he looks like Lister. Cute tail.

    Yes. Yes. Scared.

    If you could have a catch phrase, what would it be?

    "That's just how we at the 'Intergalactic Exploration Corps' do it, ma'am." Although; works too. "All part of the training."

    Poll: Weed - Legal or Illegal?

    Pretty certain weed is illegal. What? Do I want it to be? Sorry, bit wasted, didn't understand the questions. Damn, out of bourbon. Be right back. Addendum I think the most honest thing I have ever heard about drug use was this. If I had known, really understood, that it would change...

    Sand box games

    Prototype. I like refreshing ammo using stealth kills after emptying an assault rifle by tagging infected. That, and shooting down helicopters with tanks.

    Poll: Technological Singularity, good or bad?

    I think Alastair Reynolds [http://voxish.tripod.com/] explores quite a few concepts of singularity as a fiction writer and, although your definition is very broad, I'll latch on to your basic assumption and run with that. I am all for technological improvements to my personal life, and look...

    Coolest Fictional Alien Race

    Seems to be the standard here, but we have: To brighten the day. And nom you with a nom-nom-nom. These are damned scary. So are the Tyranids, for pretty much the same reason, apart from the movie bit. For me the overall winner of cool, the Ultimate Fonzie, goes to the Gallifreyans...

    Poll: What hurts more: kicked in the balls or giving birth?

    Y'know, being kicked in the knackers always hurts so much more than it should... But the pain goes away; an hour or two and it's a dull ache. Hee-hee! I like the Robin Williams line "Sharing the pain? Are you opening an umbrella up your ass? I don't think so." Giving birth is only the...

    Poll: How many people have actually read The Lord of the Rings?

    I read it when I was ten, after reading The Hobbit. Never managed to finish the Silmarillion though. Just too much like a history textbook to get into. Knowing that Galdalf is an immortal was enough for me. Addendum I see a lot of complaints about excessive descriptions of nature in these...

    Jimquisition: Videogames Are Not Movies, Get Over It

    Heya, I thought we already had an "Overstating The Obvious" segment in "The Show About Games Show"? Yes, he is big. Yes, he is a douchebag. This is not a selling point. I can find a douchebag within 15 feet of my front door (something that contributes to my agoraphobia, or possibly just my...

    The world needs a hero

    You should read the graphic novel "V for Vendetta" [http://www.dccomics.com/vertigo/graphic_novels/?gn=1731]. The movie is brilliant, however it is a lot more romantic than the original story. I think the main thrust is that, having completed their personal revenge, V's concern that the need for...

    if you were asked to Design a video game what whould it be about

    I like "Intellectual property is imaginary." Seriously, killian ae? Search 'Erin Hoffman', read her articles, this one in particular [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_221/6582-Why-Your-Game-Idea-Sucks], and try again. Since you'll probably TL;DR I'll paraphrase...

    Poll: What the hell is this?

    Can I have a button that says; I'd click that button right quick. I thought Cartman was supposed to be a cartoon stereotype. Way to prove me wrong ay-merry-car. That's what SageSays.

    Martial Arts.

    I believe that Caepoeira developed around dockside knife fighting with sailors. In these circumstances an ability to control distance and attack (or distract) from a range of directions is a distinct advantage. We do not train Caepoeira with weaponry in the west, but if you consider the...
