    "Lads Mags" to be covered in modesty bags in national UK store - discussion about censorship

    I just look forward, after the Daily Mail claiming 'success' at 'their' campaign, because since the dawn of time they've been bitching about porn, so now something's happened they can claim it's all their own work...to millions of people trying to access the Daily Mail site and finding it's been...

    Why are British people so down on Piers Morgan?

    I don't think he's right wing or left wing, he's simply whatever will get him the most money and attention. He'd happily do TV ads for Dr Harold Shipman's new retirement home, or Gary Glitter's new preschool if he thought there was two bucks in it for him. No-one can sum him up quite like...

    Retail jobs: the dumbest customer question you've been asked?

    Done that enough time, only with annoying or rude customers tho. "Certainly Sir, I'll check out the back, might be a few minutes tho." Then go and take some time out, have a sit down, get a drink, etc, when I know for a fact we don't have what they're after, but they won't take 'sod off' for an...

    Escape to the Movies: Wreck-It Ralph

    I've lined this before, but damn if it's not relevant, Graham Linehan, writer of Father Ted and the IT Crowd among others, talks about movie piracy, and basically nails it IMO. I feel it's relevant, being about 'UP', which again, didn't get a UK release for like 4-5 months after the US. (It's...

    Painkiller: Hell and Damnation Hits on Halloween

    My only concern is that they've already diluted the name with terrible sequels and addons, I just hope this feels like the original, if so, it's got my money :)

    Senate Candidate Attacked Over World of Warcraft

    Just had to give you some points for that, also, a post way back earlier, that stated their country didn't allow slander. Meaning you could only concentrate on the good things you were doing, rather than, what seems to be the ONLY political ads in the US, attack ads. Attacks ads just...

    Poll: Can piracy be justified?

    All I'll suggest is I'm not against it when the companies in charge make it so hard to be legal. For instance, great TV shows, instead of locking them so non US viewers can't see them (and scurry off to torrent sites), put them up on itunes, a dollar a pop, an hour after viewing, and you'll...

    Poll: Lack of basic mathmatical skills

    What I find most annoying are these posts where you have 1+1+1+...etc, and they're purely designed to catch people out. However, I have met people who've left school and can't add a pair of 2 digit numbers together, like 23+51, or basic multiplication, like 7x3. (Or they do it by adding 7 to...

    Building a gaming PC....how hard is it?

    I'd suggest, maybe if it's your first time, looking into buying a motherboard bundle. This would be the motherboard, CPU, and memory, all fitted and tested. You then fit it in the case, and add DVD drive, video card, hard drive, etc. It's not as intimidating as a full build, but it will...

    The WoW Killer has finally arrived

    My understanding of the cross realm zones is that, should a zone be fairly empty, they'll 'share' that zone with other servers, so that you'll see other players and can team up if you'd like. You're not taken away from your server, or cut off from guild or friends, just opened up to some more...

    Poll: What percentage of games that you purchase are brand new, $60 titles?

    I think the problem is, that you're either working full time and don't have the free time to play games, or you're not and you don't have the money to buy em new at full price. The only full price purchase I've made this year was the WOW expansion, so I don't get left behind. (smart...

    Woman Demands Royalties on Destroyed Jesus Fresco

    I'm kinda torn here, partly that she's seeing a chance to make a lil money for a charity that she's got an interest in, and partly that, despite it being a royal disaster, the 'renovation', it has in fact caused more interest in that church that a professional renovation would have, and the...

    Pay What You Want at the IndieGameStand

    Shame in a way, I thought this might be a real stand at a convention, like the Escapist Expo, where you pays your money, hand over a USB stick or memory card and get your games. One advantage to that is those cheap ****s who invariably pay a cent, or a dollar, or whatever the bare minimum is...

    Hindus Ask PAX To Drop Smite

    To be fair, this group has every right to complain about the portrayal of their god in a video game. Equally, everyone else has the right to completely ignore them, and go about their day. I remember Bill Hicks on offending Christians... "So, I'm doing a gig in the deep south, and these...

    Smegging Hell! Here's the Poster for Red Dwarf X

    I can't say if it's better than Dr Who, as Dr Who is a sci fi show, whereas I agree with the writers when they say Red Dwarf is a 'sitcom that happens to be set in space'. Let's just hope it's better than the mini series bit, that was kind of a disappointment.
