    The Escapist's Favorite Things About Doctor Who

    Haven't seen a lot of Old Who, but with New Who: Christopher Eccleston was great - it's a real pity he didn't get more. I liked him so much that at first I didn't like: David Tennant, but a few episodes in I was sold. He's great as well and an absolutely brilliant actor to boot. Matt...

    One Platform to Rule Them All

    Counting as both a PS3 user and Steam user, the Steambox (and/or Steam OS) really interest me. I very rarely buy games when they come out (I'm too cheap to pay the ~$100AUD), but always end up with a vast back catalogue of sale bought games I never got round to playing (Seriously my PSX still...

    What's your avatar about

    Mine's a shot of myself from an 'in progress' (i.e. completely wrong) Image Processing tutorial program from uni. Thought it looked cool so I snapped a copy before moving on. Even though it kinda looks like a window with city skyline (at least I think it does) it's really just the bench...

    Let's Watch Another Man Of Steel Trailer

    I'm actually looking forward to this movie now. Haven't heard to much apart from these breakdowns, but this trailer does look cool. Well it makes sense that if you spend 30% of a movie setting your main character then you can't spend too much time setting up the bad guy, so why waste the...

    Miracle of Sound Level 3 - When??

    I'm hoping someone might have some info on whether there is going to be a third Miracle of Sound collection ( I am assuming called Level 3)? I've bought the first two on bandcamp.com and since Level 1 is 2011 & Level is 2012 Part 1 I figure we are well enough into 2013 for Level 3: 2012 Part...

    Games you just...stopped playing

    Shadows of the Damned and Prototype would have to be the two most recent ones. Pretty sure I actually stopped playing one to play the other, then stopped playing that for Dragon Age: Origins. Popped Prototype in recently and realised I hadn't played it since May. Then I got the shits with...

    Mojang, Square Enix, EA and Others Sued For Patent Infringement

    All through the various Patent stories I've heard about the Tech world in general I've always held comfort that it's the American's doing it, and I can sit here as an Aussie with the moral high-ground. Now the guy behind this is an Aussie........ Hey America, wanna buy this guy from us so...

    Escape to the Movies: The Amazing Spider-Man

    Is it weird that when I hear Bob go on a fanboy rant I want to see the movie more? Not because I think he's wrong - more like a train-wreck fantasy i.e. Can it really be that bad? Cos of his Green Lantern review I did wait til video being seeing that, and I have to say he was right. I don't...

    What do women find attractive? (Men only)

    I don't think the OP intended for this to be a serious scientific study worthy of writing a paper into a journal. If I remember correctly they even stated this was more to gauge whether what guys thought girls liked actually matched what girls actually liked. An interesting conversation to have...

    What do women find attractive? (Men only)

    While I agree that its not exactly scientific and given that essentially this and the other thread are only polling a specific genre (?? - is that the right term? class maybe? tribe? you get the picture) you aren't going to get a valid cross-section of women in general. Though you are going to...

    What do women find attractive? (Men only)

    Well my current GF loves my butt. I have a chick friend who loves shoulders/back. An Ex also loved my butt, and my arms when I started to bulk a little. She's also mentioned being attracted to guy's eyes. To be fair I think this question is probably aimed a little incorrectly and those guys...

    The Big Picture: Wrongs & Rights

    I actually see this where I work. While teams that have constrained time/budgets can pull out things that are well balanced and efficient, a lot of the projects that have the 'Business backing' to blow huge amounts of money end up being over-cost, behind schedule and complete shit. In movie...

    Hollywood: Assassin's Creed Movie Is Doomed

    I feel that this movie will either work or fail depending on how Ubisoft use their powers. If they are involved in the stages but let the studios do what is necessary then there's a very good change things will work. E.g. they are involved in making the short list of directors, and possibly sit...

    A question to women

    I have to disagree. We had an Admin start at work who would make some ...interesting choices about appropriate office attire. I still maintain the *most* distracting outfit she ever wore was also the most business appropriate. Button up top that went all the way to her neck and a calf length...
