    recomend a good fantasy/sci-fi/steampunk book series

    I'm gonna have to second this one as well. Actually, it seems like all my favourite fantasy series are getting a mention. Also, now that I think of them, Naomi Novik's His Majesty's Dragon series is a good ready. It's the Napoleonic War with dragons - what more do you need? Well, except the...

    recomend a good fantasy/sci-fi/steampunk book series

    All of these suggestions are pure gold. I'd also add Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. If you remember anything about the 80s it send your nostalgia readings off the scale.

    What's your Favourite PSone Game?

    A lot of my favourite PS1 games have already been mentioned (including Final Fantasy IX which I'm currently playing through again) but by far the game I loved the most was Silent Bomber. I can still remember the first time I got to the first boss and thought 'WHY ISN'T IT ALL ON THE SCREEN? HOW...

    So what's the story behind your username/avatar?

    A few years ago I got a CD-ROM with a dinosaur encyclopaedia on it that required a login for some games that were on it. Instead of using my usual username from that time I decided to create a new more dino related one. I like Stegosaurus...a lot, and so Stegofreak was born. As for the...

    Jimquisition: Xbox 360 and PS3 Are Just Very Crap PCs

    Totally agree. That's one of the reason's I decided not to replace my 360 when it packed in.

    Recommend me good obscure comics/manga!

    I'm going recommend Bus Gamer if you haven't read it. It's one of my favourite mangas alongside Kurosaki Corpse Delivery Service and M.P.D. Psycho. Comics-wise. Hypothetical Lizard by Alan Moore was quite interesting.

    Any recommendations for online PSN games?

    Totally agree with all three choices there. I'm also a big fan of Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars but it's been a while since I tried it online.

    Jimquisition: Xbox 360 and PS3 Are Just Very Crap PCs

    My apologies, prior to the Origin account EA were using a system (we're talking 2006) whereby you logged in with a username and password. This was later, during a period I wasn't playing, updated to an email/password login which screwed up everything for my account and I lost quite an number of...

    Jimquisition: Xbox 360 and PS3 Are Just Very Crap PCs

    Believe me, I know what you mean. I tried to play Grand Turismo 5 the other day and had to download 17 updates because I made the mistake of deleting it to make room for other games over the last few months. My issue wasn't so much with the login times as it was with the updating of various...

    Zero Punctuation: Spec Ops: The Line

    Been tempted to pick Spec Ops: The Line up. Great review, gives me something to ponder.

    Jimquisition: Xbox 360 and PS3 Are Just Very Crap PCs

    For me, the one big advantage console gaming gives me, it the ability to just login and play. I used to do a lot more PC gaming than I do now and, admittedly, I often think about going back but every time I hit the same bloody login issue. It all began with Battlefield 2142, probably the...

    Characters they need to kill off.

    I'd be happy to see the end of Master Chief too, or Rico from the Killzone series. Since the whole Garza thin in Killzone 2 he's just annoyed me more and more with every passing objective. Guess that's why I liked Narville in 3. Always on Rico's back.

    Social Networking sites.

    I use the following; Bebo - most of my mates use this. Facebook - keep in contact with a few online friends through this. MySpace - I have 1 friend on MySpace so i don't check often. Twitter - I follow loads of games devs on twitter a long with friends and Stephen Fry. PlayFire - I guess...

    Poll: What's your defect?

    Well, a lot of people seem to think that I'm likely to become a serial killer - does that count? Other than that - pyromaniac, misanthropic and melancholic.
