    I'm a PC gamer and I just got a hand me down PS3... what games should I play?

    I couldn't recommend WipEout HD enough - the only reason I still go back to my PS3 every once in a while. Absolutely flawless and beautiful high speed racing. The survival based Zones mode which speeds up the longer you last adds near infinite replay value, too. watch?v=upII1zhyPrs

    Sharp Announces A Fancy New Electronic... Cutting Board?

    I suppose you could say that they're on the CUTTING EDGE of chopping board technology. God, I'm so sorry.

    Recommend me some point-and-click adventure games!

    watch?v=uCz9T5NgYJQ http://kentuckyroutezero.com/ If you're looking for a new kind of experience, I would wholeheartedly recommend Kentucky Route Zero. Only the first two (of 5) acts have been released so far, but it's a lovely game that tells a sweet tale with a really great visual style...

    Horror Game Jam Takes Games Away from Mental Health Stereotypes

    There's Dementium, Outlast, Asylum (obviously) and Manhunt too. It's not just the use of asylums as a setting that's the 'issue' - for lack of a better word - it's playing on mental illness as an excuse to subject the player to graphic violence or disturbing imagery. Games like Eternal...

    Lazy Grey Art Day

    There's something rather lovely about this picture and I can't quite place it.

    Gallery of the Day - Pixelated Boobs

    Successful satire condemns, unsuccessful satire inadvertently glorifies. This is most definitely the latter. I have no idea where the tongue ends and the cheek begins, but it's not a pretty sight either way.

    What do Brits do in the Summer?

    Wheyyy, a fellow Cornishman. I was pretty sure that I was the only one in the county with an internet connection. Anyhow, I think typically it's all about the festivals, beaches and trying to wade through vast seas of tourists in the towns. The weather is a fickle beast though, so it's...

    The IT Crowd Gets Together For One Final Episode

    This has to be one of the best moments ever broadcast on British TV. Been looking forward to this for the last couple of years, Linehan has always alluded to it.

    Your "Perfect Song"

    It's got to be either or These are just two of my favourite songs of all time; they're both just so perfectly executed, Daft Punk manage to find innovation in repetition, constantly subtly changing the track as it goes so you never get bored listening to it - it's amazing.

    Poll: Glasses-wearing escapists! How do you adjust them when they start slipping?

    I use my shoulder; a habit that started when I was either typing or playing games and had no hands free. Whenever I do it subconsciously, though, I just grab the corner or push the bridge, either is fine.

    Horror Game: The Survey

    Hello there you sexy bunch, I have a favour that I need to ask. I was just wondering whether you would be so kind as to answer this survey all about the horror genre for me. It's only 10 short and sweet questions long, so it should only take about 5 minutes. It's part of a Market Research...

    Have you ever wanted some type of accent?

    I've got a fairly generic English accent that ranges between unplacable middle class and West country depending on how quickly I'm talking and what I'm saying, which I tend to exaggerate a bit to make myself sound more interesting. Always thought that South African accents were cool as hell...

    Poll: Costume Parties: Love'm? Hat'em? Whatever?

    I have a primal fear of dressing up in any sort of wacky or interesting outfit, even if everyone else is going. I've been to some parties where people have dressed up but I wore normal, civilian clothes. Some may say that's worse than dressing up, I would have to disagree.

    Update: Apple Bans Saga #12 For Gay Sex Scene

    "If you want to criticize a religion, write a book. If you want to describe sex, write a book or a song, or create a medical app." No. Bad Apple. Why railroad your developers and customers like that, you big dumb bastards?

    Poll: Can you understand me speaking english?

    "It's just that my mic is shit" was the best potentially unintentional deadpan delivery I've ever heard. Seriously though, you're totally understandable, nothing to worry about. 5 stars for nailing a second language so perfectly, though, mate.
