hey, there's still a butt-flap if you're into that...

For best effect, listen to this whilst you watch!

I don't accept that. washing the dishes can be a meaningful experience. Taking a dump can be a meaningful experience.
Meaning can be derived from any activity, not least playing through a lovingly crafted videogame (which often hundreds of people pour themselves into making).

If you only see games as entertainment then…

The origins of "exion" are actually pretty lame. Back in secondary school art class in 1999 some of my classmates joked that I was an alien (admittedly, I acted pretty strange back in school. Still do.) so I came up with a mythos for my alleged race; On the surface of my world lay the beautiful women my people had…

I look forward to this, at least if it works as I think it'll work (an option to only display your real name to people on your friends list). Most of the people in my friends list are complete mysteries to me. I kinda want to delete a bunch of them off there, but there's a chance that some of them are my real life…

Difficulty to control and ridiculousness being selling points!? My good man, let me direct you to Envirobear 2000! Some say the best game ever. Definitely the best game in it's genre (Bear driving Simulation).

Is it fucked up that the only character I could relate to and empathise with was Trevor? Beyond his manipulative episodes where he abuses his underlings, I find him a breath of fresh air.

The most important bit of news to me in this article was that you COULD actually catch Mew without a gameshark.
I wasted so many hours by the SS Anne truck for nothing!

There's likely some truth in that too.

Heck, in a few more years I doubt stick placement is going to matter all that much as VR headsets such as the Oculus Rift and whatever Sony's working on gain relevance, marketshare and raise the bar for what's acceptable as a control mechanism. What will replace the hardy…

Those pesky angels with their curtain pictures!

I can't help but think that the real reason the PS4 retains it's "iconic" placement of sticks as opposed to the apparently more popular Xbox style higher placement of the left stick (The GamesBeat article notes that many FPS developers requested it, but the current layout prevailed as it's part of the Playstation…

I've still got my pink acid boots on!

but only if the mountain is less than seven feet, it seems.

"you should really check out my region!"

Best pick-up line ever.

Oh yeah, sure! I liked making the dead zone as small as possible, sometimes raising the look speed or sensitivity up a notch too, though that's not as important.
I found (in Killzone 3, Socom and Resistance 3 at least), that if you tilt the gun ever so slightly to the left or right then you would turn that direction…

Resistance 3 on the PS3 with the sharpshooter peripheral retains the spot of my favourite FPS this generation (though the game's pretty average on a regular controller).
In fact, the sharpshooter was LOADS of fun to use on pretty much any compatible title (after the initial learning hurdles) so I genuinely hope it gets…

I found the game a little bit "meh" until I got into the expansions. Mr Torgue immediately pulled Borderlands 2 from the depths of mediocrity and made it one of my games of the year!

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he…

Looks like I won't be able to publish my magnum opus of "Joseph Fritzl's Basement Tycoon" on PS4 any time soon then. Sorry folks, it seems the world isn't ready for my art!
