I have Origins in my queue, am not excited about the Batmobile, and after reading all this, I'm not sure I want to play it anymore!

Sounds fun. If you are successful and accumulate a lot of gold, can you create your own missions and pay heroes to execute them?

I'm intrigued by Sandler's List's commentary. I don't think I'd ever play the game, and I'd probably get frustrated by the mechanics of it. But I like that other players' positions are uploaded from the cloud and marked by glowing signs.

I especially like how it overtook white by going down a different path.

Hah, my cousin and I used to do similar (I think we just covered our eyes though). It was set up more like a dual; we'd count off a large number of paces, and then turn and take turns trying to hit each other. Were supposed to aim for legs only, but it didn't always work out that way.

During summers at my grandmother's house, my cousin and I used to have fireworks fights with two of his friends from across the street. Any type was fair game as ammo. We did it a couple years until a roman candle round landed in the bag my cousin had between his legs, looking for his next weapon. The whole thing went…

I think I bought the Sega CD for the sole purpose of playing aforementioned Sewer Shark. I spent a lot of time in that game.

How do you pronounce it? In my mind, it rhymes with Conan of barbarian fame, and rolls off the tongue just fine.

I agree. At this point, Minesweeper deserves it more than Minecraft.

I'm glad they weren't overly true to the games. Watching 80 minutes of grunts chop down trees and a farmhouse slowly building would've been a real snoozefest.

Mediocre!

This seems as good a place as any to ask a question I've often wondered about. Why do stormtroopers wear bulky, vision-impairing (I'm assuming) armour, when they die from a single blaster shot as quickly as any? Watching the films, that's never made sense to me.

I will straight away look things up if they are collectibles I have to search for. I have 0% patience for that. For example, the cocaine packages in GTA3.

Blame the scientists. They should've known that giving one of the best names to an effin' chicken would end in tears one day.

I want to see a commercial from the perspective of the person whose office he blows up in the 46th second.

I sometimes miss those days when the games were a lot harder (technically), and information was scarce and often wrong.

I like that too, although I don't mind when there is an inevitable tipping point where you rapidly begin to accumulate wealth. In Elder Scroll games, for instance. It was amusing and kind of gave me a satisfactory feeling when I realised I wasn't carrying any loot to sell, only rare or unique items to keep in my…

It is funny when NPCs say something that give them humanity, and make you feel really shite about your current actions. This happened to me in Skyrim. I put a lot of thought into which companion I disliked the most, and brought them to touch that stone which would see them become a sacrifice. Right before I ordered…

Like a cops n' robbers game of Frogger.

Not really mayhem, but in Vice City, my flatmate was running from the police on a motorbike. He was in the middle of the largest bridge, and a police car did a fantastic, 90 degree sliding stop and took out his bike. Like a bat hitting a ball. He went flying really high through the air, for what we assumed was a…
