    Poll: Sound of Silence...Which Version is Better?

    I love the cover, but prefer the original. There are very few covers I prefer, even when I like them. I prefer the NiN Hurt for example, even though the Cash version is awesome. The only exceptions that come to mind are All Along the Watchtower (Hendrix's, but I do like the Battlestar version...

    The whole holding-a-door-thing

    This is one of those things that I'm not sure happens. I mean, I'm sure it happens in the sense that there are a bunch of crazy people and so almost everything happens but, as someone who holds doors open for everyone, I've never seen it. I also hang around Tumblr and Twitter and I don't...

    Character's you hate from stories that you love

    Oh my god this. I'm watching the series for the first time, in S4 at the moment, and it's clear that RDM loved her. She gets away with so much crap and I have to keep hearing about 'everything she's been through.' I mean yeah, you've been through a lot, but I like Tigh and he's been through way...

    8 PS2 Games You'll Want to Play When PS4 Gets Backwards Compatibility

    I agree that putting games that have had HD re-releases is missing a trick. I spent many hours with Burnout 3 - great game. However, my favourite game that hasn't had a HD rerelease is Timesplitters 2. I never got to play Timeplitters 3, but I'd love to have a chance to play that too. I'd...

    Games that you hate but everyone else seems to ape-shit about it?

    I've seen it mentioned but Fallout 3. I tried to play it twice but it never quite clicked for me. Silent Hill 2. I just don't think I enjoy horror as a genre, but it's held up as this awesome game and I was happy never to play it again after the hour or so I put into it. I never much...

    The voice acting in FFX

    Once you've noticed that they all say "you know" at the end of virtually every sentence, you'll never not notice it again. Also every time Tidus talks about his "old man". The VA is terrible throughout. The absolute nadir for me is a bit (without spoilers) where Tidus finds out something...

    Reddit Bans Subreddits about Making Fun of Fat People, Neogaf, and others.

    On whether this is censorship or not. It's clearly censorship. Firstly, here's a definition of censorship from the Academic American Encyclopedia: So whilst the government censorship definition is in there, that's only when we're talking in a "narrower, more legalistic sense," which we're...

    Lauren Southern speaks to Feminists at "SlutWalk".

    Do you have a link to that? I searched for it but couldn't find it

    Classic games you wish would get a digital release

    I came here to say this. Such a great game. I loved the way it rewarded you playing at higher difficulty with extra content in the single player too. Decent online multiplayer (both co-op and competitive) and it would be perfect. I'd quite like to see TS3 as well because I never got round to...

    Erttheking's New and Improved Super Special guideline to debating!

    I think another one is to remember that arguing on the internet isn't about convincing anyone, it's about winning against the dirty other. If you feel like you're being too convincing, stop and throw some insults in to put your opponent's defences up. The plus side is, this will make others on...

    The future causing itself to exist in fiction; huge plothole?

    There's a recent film called Predestination which takes this idea to ridiculous extremes. Big spoilers ahead obviously. My problem with these devices is I always feel a bit empty at the end. Like nothing really has been achieved. What happens is what is bound to happen because it's...

    Things That Piss You Off That Really Shouldn't Do So By Now

    Loose instead of lose. Less instead of fewer. Now I'm a staunch supporter of descriptivism and I know that it's entirely irrational to get annoyed by this, as everyone knows what is meant, but god it irritates me. My other half is Canadian, and she apologises for everything, especially if...

    Slow Down! Scientists Can Now Reduce The Speed of Light

    It's not very well explained in the article, but this is a different phenomenon to light slowing down in a medium which is what causes refraction.

    Slow Down! Scientists Can Now Reduce The Speed of Light

    This paper talks about single photons travelling in free space. This isn't the well understood phenomenon of light being slowed down by a medium. Sadly I can only read the abstract but I'm not sure I'd understand the paper fully anyway, I've forgotten far too much physics. This makes me sad...

    Escapist Editors in the Midst of an Exodus?! -Updated-

    If it turns out that this is because of these writers' opinions on GG/SJ issues, as many are suggesting, then I will be cancelling my Pub Club membership and not coming back. Even though I would identify as anti-anti-gamergate (I think the anti side are worse, but I don't like the GG side much...
