    Feed Dump: 16 Skulls and a Burning Building

    Is it just me, or does the title sound like a really Metal Nursery Rhyme?

    Your home town's claim to fame

    Newbiggin's claims to fame: 1. Site of the first Anglo-Scandinavian Telegraph pole 2. Formerly 3rd most important port in England 3. Oldest Methodist Church in Britain. Also where 'Room at the Top' was written, but that's pretty incidental...

    What SKYRIM class are you?

    I always end up playing as a Breton Assassin for some reason... Seriously, on several occasions i'd make, like, a Khajit or Argonian or Wood Elf, but by the end of theTutorial I just look at them and think to myself 'why do i have so little magic? Mages are doing so much damage to me! Is myu guy...

    Does free will exist?

    I'm not a fundamentalist Christian, but I believe in some free will, at least to some extent. I think saying we have no free will is taking it a bit far, certainkly I think we are pre-inclined to make certain choices, but ultimately we can chose to deny these. Simply saying 'yes' or 'no' is...

    Extra Punctuation: Hating Warhammer 40k and Space Marine

    As one of those "Gelatinous creatures who like 40k" as yahtzee puts it, i gotta say he's pretty much bang on. Space Marine is average. If it weren't for the setting I'd probably not have bought it, never mind finished it. The fact you still take damage when performing the kills is annoying as...

    GOOD things about the latest series of Doctor Who...

    I enjoyed this series, and fully agree with every point, but I gotta say, the plot was a bit too similar to the last series - people believe he's gonna destroy the universe(s) and so plan to kill/trap him. Inadvertadly, time is destroyed, creating an alternate reality which is time's equivalent...

    Poll: Achievments or Trophies?

    trophies, for the simple reason it's a pleasant surprise when you first get a playstation and in the middle of a game in just goes *binb* "you earned a trophy". everyone one knows about achievements, so the feeling of getting your first one is nice, but not the same

    Must read Science Fiction/Fantasy books?

    if you dislike multi-book series, then i'd advise the Redemption of Althalus for fantasy, and the Eisenhorn trilogy (comes in a single book so it only counts as 1) from warhammer for sci-fi...

    Poll: Total War: Ancient / Medieval or Recent?

    ancient ones are much better, as the recent one has a bit opf trouble with repettition... in a different way to the first ones; while in the first ones a campaign was a series of skirmishes before an assault on the main city, repeated if in a war, with occasional points in which you either make...

    Assassin's Creed 3 musings

    dont worry, that's not the truth, it's just my opinion something you read during one of the puzzles, it mentions a guy named "H" it's just my theory that it's him... mostly cos templars are [insert overly rude word here] like hitler... sorry to anyone else whose childhood i stole.

    Assassin's Creed 3 musings

    world war 1... with a girl... what is wrong with ubisoft, it's not just trying to show itself as non-racist but also non-sexist. We know that already, a girl is better than you in screed 2... on the other hand, early 20th century europe had a lot of tyrannical prats, so i suppose that is a good...

    Assassin's Creed 3 musings

    Recently, me and some friends were musing on the Screed franchise and have reached a conundrum: when desmond is finally allowed to go outside, how will the game work? You will no longer be aable to desyncronise so they'll either have to do it from Diles Mesmond Jr, or have you actually die...

    Poll: Wich RPG Should I Get ?

    never played fall out 3 (heard good things from my mates though) I would advise Oblivion, as i found Fable to be somewhat... JRPG-ish, what with the clothing (not armour) you wear affecting everything from moral alignment to popularity... barring that and the orbs excreted from dying enemies...
