Also, Carmack is a programmer - he codes graphics engines and the like, of course he's always going to take tech over gameplay, it's his job. What the game is like to actually play is very little to do with him.

Cool, I've only owned two of those (PS3 and 360), and a knockoff Rubik's Cube 3 years after they were popular.

Yes, It's a huge cock, and apparently it could use some Viagra.

The Man Cannon is pre-order only, the jet bike is given after the aircraft carrier mission (if you chose it - or from DLC gained from the Prima guide) and the sonic gun on the mission where you infiltrate the STAG plane (being vague, to avoid spoilers). In fact you can't avoid the sonic gun, but I guess you could…

They did... it was considered a little too graphic even with the pixelisation (It was mentioned in one of the previews, somewhere, but I forget where).

I'm betting your Dad couldn't believe it at the time either. I cringe at half the stuff my Son enjoys watching, but he enjoys it all the same even if I die a little inside when he does. One day he'll grow up and see it again and ask me why I let him, I shall laugh and say "To see the look on your face today of…

Nope, I would have noticed if that had happened. :)

I completely agree, I'm not sure why it was done that way, but I'm betting there'll be a more direct way next time around.

I'm assuming you're being moderately sarcastic rather than not realizing he's been playing Saints Row The Third?

Clearly it has squares on Gallifrey.

Uhhhh, yeah it was Cellsong.

You have to add them to your queue on the community site - I've not been able to work out how to do that without making the character public though. Go to the site, look at your uploads, mark your characters as public (and name them), refresh the page, select the character and then add to your queue (or something…

"And perhaps most frustrating of all, any time an explosion or large impact hits the player, their character goes limp and flails around before finally climbing back to his feet."

They're all pretty short those intro missions (The exception being Guardian Angel), once you get past them it's balls to the wall time again pretty much all the way to the end.

Not just that one, *Any of them. All in glorious slow motion tear-your-car-apart-orama.

Funny, since you're talking out of your arsehole ;)

This is genius. The end.

It's not visual, but a certain character's death comes completely out of nowhere in Pratchett's Men at Arms, and then he does it again to someone else later in the book (but that one turns out OK). I think they're still the only (seemingly) main character to get offed in one of his books - almost made me cry, and…

I got a totally different reading of the River scenario than Charlie did (though the weather was bad so the episode was choppy - maybe I'll have a different view when I watch it again tomorrow). This is the beginning of River's adventure (well, after Let's Kill Hitler anyway), and she is, at least from the Doctors…

It makes perfect sense (to me anyway) - it's not the Doctor Robot in the bubble universe but the Doctor himself. If everything is a bi toff in that universe then there's no reason to suppose the Doctor exists within it in the same state he exists in the real one (Which is still there, and frozen in time, just as…
