    The destruction of family values isn't whats destroying this great nation...

    I usually don't eat breakfast, unless drunken kebabs at 4am count (and I'm going veggie soon so I'll have to give that up too). I need the ten minutes in the morning that breakfast takes up to consider how much I really need to go to work, or if I should break my leg to get out of it.

    Poll: Stuff you did while drunk/what kind of drunk are you?

    I once screamed the lyrics to the Spongebob Squarepants theme tune in French at a Frenchman in a club, so he slapped me. I slapped him back, and got kicked out. If I get just a bit drunk I'm fine, but I have a tendency to drink far, far too much and inevitably cause a bit of a ruckus. I have...

    Advice on buying a gaming laptop

    The only advice I have is do not, do not get an HP. I got one because I get a discount through work on them, and it's just been a bit shit really. Runs well (plays The Witcher 3 on top quality, no problems unless you set plants to max), but the build quality is pretty poor and the customer...

    Relationships

    Ew, girls are gaaaaaaaay. The best I could say is 'kinda, sorta, maybe, we'll see'. There's this girl who I dated when we were stupid teenagers and split up when we went to university. Every time we've seen each other we get on great, if we've had a drink things happen. Catch is, she's stuck...

    Ghostbusters Director Calls Out "Assholes in Geek Culture"

    It'll be fun to see how he tries to explain away the reviews from non-geek media when that inevitably happens. Also, anyone who genuinely thinks that Melissa McCarthy is funny has no business breathing directing comedy. This isn't sexism, she's just that awful. Weren't Tina Fey/Amy Poehler...

    Standalone Affleck batman movie confirmed

    Gotta say I disagree. Saw BvS yesterday, and as much as there was a whole ton of things wrong with it, Batman bits were good. I certainly picked up on the old, jaded Batman vibes- 'That's the thing about criminals Alfred, they're like weeds- You remove one and another just springs up in its...

    FBI: 1 Apple:0. The iPhone has been cracked

    Basically this. There was some Cambridge chap on the radio talking about how the FBI could definitely do this without having Apple make a 'backdoor'. Essentially they were exploiting this case to make their life easier in future, and Apple weren't happy about that. As far as I know, Apple...

    I fear that future Superhero movies will be no longer be "stand alone features"

    Films still need to have a vaguely conventional plot structure to be considered good films, as it's just not satisfying to not get a conclusion after sitting through ~2 hours. Having films connect can be good or bad depending on how it's handled; by and large Marvel are doing it right as each...

    If you could experience one game for the first time again, which would it be?

    Two things: The first time I played Oblivion. It was the first RPG I'd played and exploring for the first time felt so much more immersive (amazing, considering how un-immersive that game really is) than any other I've played since. I did everything in the dumbest way the first time around-...

    Jeremy Renner Wants Hawkeye Series on Netflix

    Hawkeye is never going to get enough spotlight in films and he's a likeable character, so it seems like it makes sense. Hopefully we'll get all these Netflix/tv tier Marvel characters cropping up in eachothers shows too, like all the crappy Saturday morning cartoons I used to watch.

    Drunken purchase time

    I am terrible for this. When I was visiting some friends at uni a few weeks ago we got smashed and went to the shop and I bought: 2 packs of jelly cubes Custard A box of teabags Wine And then insisted on ordering a pound of chicken wings when we got home.

    Describe your Avatar

    It's a kitty. Some say if you stare into his eyes for too long, you lose your mind.

    To what extent do you feel sorry for people who make incredibly stupid decisions?

    I'm not very sympathetic. In some cases I might be- If the repercussions are much larger than the bit of idiocy that caused it and if it might not have been clear quite how dumb the idea was, then maybe. Maybe. Basically if it looks like a decision I might make then I'll be a bit sympathetic...

    What are you listening to Escapists? (March 2016 Edition)

    Burn them. Burn them all.

    What are you listening to Escapists? (March 2016 Edition)

    You might like Astraea too, it's the last one and it's not quite as weird-for-the-sake-of-it as the earlier ones (although it's probably got the most crushingly heavy bits). Oh, and the climax of Cosmology is the best thing ever: It's less mathcore and more sprawling prog masterpiece...
