I’ll start by saying that it’s been a couple of years now since I was at EA, but I remain in touch with many friends there and at DICE, and I know for a fact the artists and designers put a lot of effort into research for all of the Battlefield titles. We’re not just talking pictures and videos, but visits to museums,…

I was actually stunned that Amazon in the UK has Boba Fett cheap too - £4.84.

I don’t know what this is, but it’s making my special places go all tingly...

I have seen all manner of shit-hot cosplay over the years, but honestly, this has to be one of the best I’ve ever seen.

I quite like Castle, I’ll freely confess. When I heard about this, it was through a friend’s post of FB and the way I read it was that Stana Katic had decided to leave the show. I thought then that there was no way they could continue without her, because the relationship between her and Fillion is basically the whole…

I’m not saying it’s the case here, but from past experience I know a lot of leaks of games just before general release were review copies.

I posted this the other day on another thread, but it’s probably more relevant here...

I just wanted to say, subject matter aside, that picture made my day, so thanks for that :-)

OK that’s just weird. My son was just asking me the other day about RTS games and we were talking about C&C. He asked if he could play it and I had to tell him there’s no way it would work on a modern PC, and now you guys post this.

I’ve never played any of the Dark Souls games, so I was actually quite interested by this. I watched the first 20 minutes or so and switched it off.

I have to say I found it pretty dull, and the dreadful texture pop-ups and awful collision meshes during the cutscenes really got on my nerves.

I was looking at these on Amazon in the UK. The cheapest I could find them was £28 (approx $40) each...

What a lovely specimen of humanity...

When I was at EA, I formed a very good working relationship with both Customer Services and the Community Management guys. After we released games we would always have people trawling the forums looking for people reporting issues and the like in case something came up that we had missed (keep in mind that no matter…

It’s very pretty of course, but I think you’ll find West Yorkshire Police can do a little better.

Interestingly enough, during WW2, Spitfires were sometimes painted pink so they wouldn’t stand out against clouds at sunrise and sunset...

I don’t know about the distance - he may have been closer than he looked; some dashcams create a kind of fish eye effect, and I’ll be honest, I hate being tailgated. I’m one of those people who sticks to the speed limit, and I don’t care if the person behind me doesn’t like it. I’m not going to comment on the distance…

I used to work with several global banks who, to this day, still run bespoke DOS based systems.

Moon anteaters? Those are Clangers, you philistine.

It was the same here in the UK. The death of the British motor industry started when the first Datsuns came over, and instead of spending every weekend tinkering with your Morris or Rover or Ford, spending ages warming up the car every time you wanted to go anywhere, you could just hop in your Datsun, start it up and…

More like “Infinite DLC”, amirite?
