Tips for phoning customer service. 1. Have everything you need to hand BEFORE you phone. Account numbers, letters, receipts, whatever, make sure it's there when you phone. Don't say "oh I'll need to go dig that out" when you're asked for something if it's something you should have for every...

I buy retail, but often that gets landed on my Steam account. I only buy from Steam if it's unavailable in the shops, even if the retail version is more expensive. That way, when Steam falls apart (as all empires must), I've got a big pile of boxes that show I bought it, in case I feel like...

Nope. No way am I going to support such anti-consumer bullshit. PS4 is looking really tempting about now, especially when they announced that they're looking into having the whole PS1/2/3 back catalogue up for streaming. Wouldn't surprise me if Sony were thinking about a similar idea for DRM and...

Not, it isn't. And a trilogy has 3 titles in it, so you're wrong there too. And having one man's opinion on the subject does not confirm your personal biases are true.

Fanboys. Fanboys, and perhaps them pulling out an amazing "OHGODYES" level feature at E3 to make people forget all the negative press. No idea what that could be that doesn't involve a "press X to receive oral" button, but it could happen.

I don't generally tend to pay attention to these sort of product launches; I prefer to let the launch happen and then read the autopsies, read threads like this and discover what everyone's saying afterwords. So far, I haven't heard a single thing about the Xbox One (which is a silly title) that...

How do you poop?

Pretty much since Xmas when I was five years old. I'm 24 in April. Varies wildly, currently not playing that much. I'd guess an average of 5-10 hours a week. Yes, although it's a slim majority. A tepid 4, which is shouting at games that are badly designed. No. I'm actually quite...

Even though I voted for DE:HR, I'm surprised to see it winning, if only slightly. But yeah, I'd recommend it wholeheartedly. Apart from some iffy boss fights (Protip: upgrade the Typhoon augment and spam that in their faces) and a let-down ending (understandable due to the fact it's a prequel)...

Do it if you want, but be prepared to have people judge you irrationally for it. Also, if you're planning to go down the huge "I can stick my finger in" size holes, make sure you're ready to live with the consequences forever. I met a guy I knew from school, he had the huge ones put in. When I...

I liked it. Fit my huge hands just fine. Also, whenever I went to my mate's house to play on his Xbox (never had one of my own), I'd get the official controller while he took the Mad Catz version. For me at least, this never happened with anyone else. Still prefer the 360 version though...

Plausible mode: I'd just like to run my own business. Problem is, need starting capital which I don't have. Implausible mode: Win lottery. Buy a metric fuck-tonne of flats and rent them out (so I have a consistent income for the rest of my days for doing nothing). Also buy shares in space and...

Stealing their vehicles to secure victory is cheating. So is filling the enemy with bullets.

Everyone gets that email apparently. And hell, might as well get your money back and re-buy it when it's actually working.

That statement is inherently worthless. For one thing, does "their customers" refer to Steam users or just people who bought Valve games? As far as I know, Valve does not have ownership of pretty much anything on Steam except a few titles, so will their "contingencies" extend to the third party...
