    First Fallout 4 Beta Patch to Release Next Week

    I understand the complaint, but I think there's more to it than just Bethesda rulz, Ubisoft seeeerks' AC Unity was dissappointing in a number of ways; the gameplay was't up to snuf, the story was convoluted, the characters were pale and two dimentional, but more than that it was yet another...

    Meet The Itty Bitty Supermassive Black Hole

    PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWAAA! iiiitty bitty living space This is exactly what I love about modern astronomy and physics; it's so easy to assume well established theories are set in stone and then something like this is discovered and we need to rethink everything. In science nothing is true...

    Full Trailer For Christopher Nolan's Interstellar

    Well I thank you for your critical appraisal of my musical skills, but V was pretty much my philosophical coming of age, I watched and re-watched that movie so many times and it still tops my list of favourite films ever, so I probably couldn't recognise most classical scores but anything from...

    Full Trailer For Christopher Nolan's Interstellar

    Not quite, It's a piece of music from V for Vendetta, the music for which was written by Dario Marianelli, though I can't be sure if he wrote this particular score or not. In any event, to me this has always been one of the most moving pieces of music ever, the arrangement in the trailer is a...

    What Game Took You the Longest to Finish?

    Ninja Gaiden 2 took me two years to complete, not because I got bored with it and put it down but simply because it was so frustratingly difficult that I repeatedly had to stop playing it to stop myself from going insane and putting a hole through my TV. Good god I loved the hell out of it...

    Moments in non-horror games that scared the shit out of you?

    Slowly mining your way round a lava lake and you hear something rustle behind you... 'shudders' For me, as a child playing Lego Rock raiders of all things on the PC, the first level where you are required to deal with the giant rock monsters. They had been hinted at throughout the game's cut...

    The last videogame character you played as is trying to kill you

    Whelp, on the one hand my character from Pokemon Y is trying to kill me. On the other I have Mario defending me. I just realised I could literally play a match of SSB to decide my fate...

    So, just watched Frozen, I think the hype backlash has died down, what do you guys think of it?

    Short analysis from me; not quite as good as Rapunzel, but that would be a feat indeed. Other than that I really rather enjoyed it, and I went to a Mid-day viewing about a week after it came out. Needless to say: children. And I still thoroughly enjoyed it. As of now i have only seen it in...

    Where Do You Work?

    I'm a nurse, I work A&E in a small-ish hospital in south-west Germany. We have around 600 beds and off the top of my head about ten medical disciplines. It's good work, if a little stressful, and though it doesn't pay fantastically it's more than enough for my lifestyle.

    Ah, Mariokart: teaching us all from a young age that no matter how far ahead you are, spiky blue fury can still come out of nowhere and ruin your day. those games are solely responsible for me learning that life simply isn't fair. And I love it. I may have to get a Wii U somewhere down the...

    Favourite 'Blow off steam' game

    Assassins creed 4 is turning out to be a great outlet, it combines the soothing calmness of sailing on the open sea with the intense violence of the naval battles and boarding, both of which are great for blowing off steam. If that fails i just return to skyrim which i honestly get so...

    Harry Potter Spinoff Film Series and Games Are in the Works

    Yes, I think it's Rufus Scamander, she mentioned that in an interview, they get married and have two children; Lorkham and Lysander. Back on topic, I read this and seriously was so stunned that they are planning on turning the contents of a fictional textbook into a feature film I re-read the...
