    Poll: Is "average" a five or a seven?

    I'd consider it more of a quality scale, with 7 being pretty good but nothing special at all. That's the rough average for games. 5 is very middling quality, barely acceptable, which most games are above to some degree.

    Poll: Screaming in music. Do you like it or not?

    Occasional, artful screams for effect (now that's a weird sentence), a la Judas Priest, Sabaton or Manowar, are fine and can really add to a song, although I'd be quite happy without them. Total replacement of the vocals by hideous, unintelligible shrieking? Not so great.

    Recommend some STALKER mods?

    Cheers, I'll have a look at that. As an aside, does anyone know how to find the game file directory? I've searched everywhere on my PC, found the directories (quite easily) for every other game I possess, but no sign of STALKER's. Makes modding rather difficult. I'm trying to install...

    Recommend some STALKER mods?

    I nearly finished a playthrough of Shadow of Chernobyl some time ago, but with only a couple of game hours left suddenly lost all motivation to play it. It's a good game, but at the same time burdened by an alarming number of defects which seriously detract from the experience. I want to get...

    A question for you Britons here.......

    Do I object to being seen in the street? No. Newsflash: when you're in a public place, people can see you. You have no privacy irrespective of the cameras.

    Speculations: How will fox news react to Mass Effect 3?

    Khajit, Argonians. OT: They probably won't, and then the people who keep themselves entertained by anticipating Fox News' reaction to absolutely everything will, once again, look like idiots.

    "Classic" Literature that you hated?

    Pretty much all of it. Strip away the symbolism and the philosophy, neither of which add entertainment value for me, and you're left with extremely dry and pedestrian novels wherein the quantity of the prose belies how little actually happens.

    Poll: Is it okay to pee in the shower?

    Saves water by not having to flush the toilet. I'd say it's a moral imperative.

    Us Humans are f**king amazing!

    Because we have a tendency to wreck nature and kill each other. So do all other species, truth be told, but we're far more proficient at it. We're also the only species which ever attempts to conserve its surroundings and the only species capable of killing its fellows which holds back for moral...

    Oh You Muggles!

    In that vein, why are owls superior to email? Or flying broomsticks superior to enchanted armchairs? Don't think about it or you'll ruin your childhood.

    Were the Ultramarines the right choice for the main chapter of space marines in W40K space marine?

    As long as it's a codex chapter, it really doesn't make that much difference. They're all quite similar in almost every way.

    Am I supposed to feel bad?

    I assume you don't know about the alternate outcomes. I won't spoil anything, but suffice to say that Roy deserved it and that it was probably for the best.
