    Whats an alternate place to get news that isn't batshit crazy?

    I used to follow the BBC but there was so much negative bias (bordering on propaganda) during the Scottish Referendum debate two years ago that I lost all faith in it as a moderate and reliable news network and now rarely take anything it says too seriously. Now I find that the best thing...

    Back in my day, we bought games based on the back cover. (Nostalgia thread)

    Ah the back of the box. I remember it fondly. The last game I remember buying because of the back was... You know, I don't actually remember. I do remember when there were cheat codes for games. Oh and you had to turn to physical game guides if you were stuck because the internet...

    itt: say something nice to British folk

    After living in the UK for the last few years I'd say your healthcare system is amazing, you have to wait a bit before seeing a doctor but you never have to worry about paying for anything (and living in Scotland means that prescriptions are free to). Also you may not have the whitest teeth but...

    What Game Had the Most Wasted Potential

    Like a lot of people I was going to say Dragon Age 2 because it was a definate let down after the first but you're right. It was so bad I think I blanked it from my memory and it could have been so good. Those damn cut scenes every time you died, none of yourweapons did any damage at all...

    Best Climax in a Video Game

    I can think of a few off the top of my head. -The Suicide Mission in ME:2 as many have already said was absolutely epic. -I final fight of Sonic Adventure 2 has stuck with me all these years. - It wouldn't be right not to mention the ending of Saint's Row 3 (epic final mission made even...

    Games Workshop Stock Plummets By 24 Percent

    Its a fault of their own making really. They've over priced their model sets and decreased the number of actual models you can make out of each one. Couple this with rules that require large numbers of troops to be competative and you can clearly see why it is 'declining in popularity'...

    Gaming series/Genres you fell out of love with.

    I felt exactly the same. I liked the first and really enjoyed 2 and Brotherhood. I thought Revelations was good and I liked that they ended the Ezio trilogy well but I felt the game was lacking something that the previous titles had. I rushed through 3 and really didn't like it. The combat...

    8 War Movies to Get You In The Mood For Call of Duty

    I'm suprprised that neither of these were on the list either, along with Kelly's Heroes. Of course some of my personal favourites didn't make the list either: Gallipoli Sink the Bismarck Went the Day Well?

    Poll: Do Phobias Affect Your Gaming?

    I'm absolutely petrified of snakes. I stopped playing Farcry 3 because at one point in an old Japenese bunker you hear hissing all the time and then when you least expect it a snake jumps at you, hell I only made it past the first half hour because snakes can't climb ladders. I find it...
