Elves are cool, but I think being one would be kind of depressing. Especially if you were born in later years, when they're all fading and most of the awesome ones who met the Valar went west like twelve thousand years ago. If Istari isn't an option then I guess I'm a Man. They might be plain...

TP was the first Zelda game I owned and completed, and to me it often seemed to be about different kinds of fear. Later of course I learned from... well, mostly you, Emcee, that in fact Ocarina and Majora had more to do with fear and death and so on, but playing through TP that first time made...

Between them, Just Cause 2, the Saint's Row series and Spider-Man 2 (not Amazing, the old one for PS2) have ruined most other sandboxes. Because if you aren't grappling cars to planes, hitting aliens with a dildo or frantically swinging to deliver pizza, what's the point?

The game just called 'Summoner' is decent if you don't mind some seriously old-school RPG stylings. Bit hard to get into if you're not used to the limited-info school of telling you what to do, but it is fun and definitely worth having a go at.

Chris Martin of Coldplay and Francis Drake the explorer sailor feller are the only ones I know of, off the top of my head... Just learned from Wikipedia that Charles Babbage was apparently from here too? Cool. Oh, yeah, and Jonathan Harker, protagonist of Dracula, was a solicitor here, but...

It makes total sense that a few characters in the Saint's Row series use wrestling moves (or in some cases are actual pro wrestlers) because they're completely fucking insane. And so is pro wrestling. For true craziness, check out the wrestling promotions Kaiju Big Battel (it's sort of...

Boil it, mash it, stick it in a stew. All at once. Failing that, throw it at something. Never was a potato guy.

G for Glen. My grandmother was very concerned that our family's Scottishness was getting too diluted and didn't really want her descendants to be too English, so she insisted that I be given her Scottish family name as a middle name. It didn't really work; I'm not very Scottish at all.

The issue I'm more worried about (personally, I think the best option is for Lesnar to beat Reigns and Seth to cash in) is Bray and Taker. How do you book this?! I mean, you can't have Taker lose twice in a row; it just cheapens the entire streak as well as Brock's victory. But Wyatt can't...

Came here to say this: there'd be one guy left with one hand, and how are the other guys gonna get his hand? (The Force notwithstanding, obviously.)

I wrote a lot of REALLY shitty fanfic when I was about 12. Mostly self-insert toilet humour crap. Then I took a break for about eight years, and I'm just now on the fifth chapter of a Dark Souls fic, the first fic attempt I've made in years, that may well end up being the first one ever to have...

Favourite: Either The Silmarillion or American Psycho, for obviously completely different reasons. Or a book called The Raw Shark Texts that very few people seem to have heard of. Or Neverwhere, or anything by Neil Gaiman really. God, I like a lot of books. Best: Er... hard one. Cloud Atlas...

I would give almost everything I own to see this happen. OT: Kirito from Sword Art Online vs. Hiro Protagonist. Both are super swordsmen inside computer universes, so let's see who's actually better. It would likely come down to whose universe they were in - Hiro would rock it in the...

Are any of these local co-op? My SO and I only really have one machine capable of playing games between us (and besides, she doesn't have a Steam account).

My fiancée's little brother is one of these and has been since he was about 11, being 13 now. It's astonishing; I didn't think they were real, but he is a genuine screaming, swearing child who plays CoD. Annoyingly, he's also very good at it, since it's what he and his friends all spend most...
