    Favorite fanfiction?

    My all-time favourite work of fanfiction is The Uncertain Future, by 'DragonKight - Beta 26', which is based on Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle (Do a search for it on Fanfiction.net, I can't link directly because of NSFW content towards the end.) Anybody who's read the books will...

    Escapists! What's cheered you up today?

    This: I'm a massive fan of the original How To Train Your Dragon movie, and it's spin-offs, so I'm kinda super hyped for the sequel coming out soon, and this clip just puts a big fat smile on my face whenever I watch it. Everything about that clip is just great, from the performances of...

    Any Bad games you enjoy?

    I liked Dragon Age 2 as well, Yeah, sure the gameplay was probably 'dumbed down' for the console players, but I was never any good at the combat in DA:O so I didn't mind that. And we all know gameplay is secondary to story in Bioware games anyway. It may lack the world-saving scale that...

    Any Bad games you enjoy?

    For me it's Sword of the Stars 2. If you know anything about the game at all, you know why this is considered a 'bad' game by many. The original Sword of the Stars (released in 2006) was a space 4X game, that mixed turn-based strategic play, with RTS fleet battles (confined to a 2D plain)...

    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: Stanza Wars

    Is it just my computer or is Yahtzee's audio slightly out of sync with the video?

    Recommend me a fantasy book

    It receives a lot of criticism (and rightly so in some cases) but one of my favourite fantasy series of all time is the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inheritance_cycle) If you're looking for a classic quest-based fantasy adventure that doesn't get...

    Japanese Town Menaced by Giant Marble Phallus

    "The statues are, of course, beautiful rather than obscene, but it seems the toddlers and their parents are unable to tell the DEFERENS. Things quickly came to a head, and the townsfolk decided to get the town's officials involved." Difference* That is all.

    Jimquisition: Dead Space - The Best New IP This Generation?

    I'm not really a fan of the horror genre in any medium, so I'm probably not the best person to judge, but here's my two cents: I've been sort-of watching the Dead Space franchise with a sense of passive disinterest for a while now, a feeling that can be summarised as "That's an interesting...

    Poll: Gaming Mice

    I got like £200 worth of Razer peripherals for my Birthday, I use the Razer Lycosa Keyboard, and The Razer Imperator Mouse. The Mouse has Two Extra buttons on the side, and a couple on the top, which I leave set for adjusting sensitivity (I generally play on quite a low sensitivy, 1700 DPI, it...

    NCsoft Shuts Down City of Heroes

    Meh, I've been a subscriber to Champions Online for over 800 days, I went and played a little bit of CoH/V a while ago, didn't really see what the fuss was about, the combat was dull and the character creator had less options than the Champions Online. I Pre-Ordered DCUO when that came out...

    Miracle of Sound: Calamity (Bastion)

    The music to this one sounds great! I've only played about an hour or so of the game so I may be wrong on this, but the lyrics don't really fit the tone of the game as I understood it, but these things are always open to different interpretations. I also found the last third or so of the song...

    Opinions on: GAME and their site GAME.co.uk

    I don't buy that many games at retail these days, When I buy games on-line I go to steam for PC games and game.co.uk for everything else (A few occasional purchases from play.com or Amazon notwithstanding) I've been a loyal customer to my local Game store for a few years now, although I do...

    So Long, and Thanks For All The Flesh

    Not much to say here, but yeah you'll be missed. I've only just got through reading all of your columns, and I have to say that it has helped, while no specific piece of advice helped the general mood of the entries helped to encourage me. 'tis a shame that this came to an end so soon. p.s...
