It's the quid-pro-quo, though. The publicists expect them to shill the movie; the actors want to get it out of the way as quickly as possible; the Interviewers want to leverage the publicists' needs into getting some gold. "Let's have banal talk about the boring stuff that goes on behind the scenes that you've

That's good to know; I wanted to play GTAV, but the pisspoor quality of GTAIV put me off.

The networking seemed FUBARd to me, and would try to run at 30fps in multiplayer despite working tolerably in single-player… Just like MKK (MK9) was messed up.

MK9 was abysmal; I've only dipped a little into SFIV and it seemed to work ok? Maybe I was just lucky with the couple of bouts I played.

MK9 (Komplete) didn't work so well for me; struck me as a terrible console port. SFIV is pretty good though; KoF left me cold and looked ugly as sin and dated; Skullgirls is good though.

Agreed. FWIW, Street Fighter IV (Ultra, Neé Arcade Edition) via Steam works a treat too. Mortal Kombat Komplete edition is balls though, as is Injustice: Gods Among Us. Terrible PC optimisation, absolutely piss-poor, and all the variables to try and fix it are locked up and encrypted…

Assault is assault in British law. Hell, you don't even have to hit someone for it to be assault, just put them in fear for their personal safety. Just because a bunch of thugs in the arse-end of the country like to settle things with fisticuffs doesn't make it acceptable or right.

Don't forget the week-in week-out revelations that more and more of the set-pieces were staged. What might come across as cheeky and funny in the context of fly-on-the-wall craziness just comes across as lazy humour when you realise the whole thing has been contrived.

Also, he didn't "get Jezzer in trouble" - one thing that has been made abundantly clear is that Clarkson turned himself in for discipline; so all that spite aimed at the poor producer is even more misplaced…

It's a fruit-machine, not pinball…

My advice to Smith is: Do some DC movies. You've seen what Whedon & Co are doing for Marvel; you've got the knowledge, the experience, and the inclination.

I usually turn in-game music off if it's an action game so I can hear important noises (footsteps, incoming gunfire, etc) more clearly. If it's turn-based style game, I'll have the music on, but I tend not to pay too much attention. I have a full 5.1 surround setup for full positional audio.

Shran really carried the show a lot through his appearances. But the thing about Enterprise was that I found the episode pacing to be pretty good - there weren't as many consecutive clunkers - even in the rather weak first couple of series.

Enterprise was consistently underrated by fans who were determined to loathe it. It was way better than Voyager - whose first series often bordered on the unwatchable - and by the third series is was really hitting its stride.
The birth of the Federation / rebirth of the Vulcans story lines were solid; although most

I've got 72 games installed with Steam; all update in the background automatically and pretty unobtrusively. My PC is approaching 5 years old, but it was cutting edge back-in-the-day, so still is a pro-gaming beast that runs the latest games on awesomely pretty settings - its age means I seldom require hardware

I'd say your justifications for "stupid" and "idiot" are cases of special pleading; while "idiot" might mean "selfish plebeian" in ancient athens, let's be quite clear than when you call someone an idiot in the present day you mean their intellectual capacity is sub-normal.

If someone were to take his criticism of the church less seriously because of perceived hypocrisy on his part (although without him shielding child molesters or institutionalising the murder of babies, it would be pretty hard to fairly label him a hypocrite), then that would just mean they're committing a tu quoque
