Ah man, I was one of those Star Wars nerds. Hell, get me drunk and I'm sure I can fall back into a ranting, foaming at the mouth kind of arsehole in no time! Don't get me wrong, when you're around people you know really well and you're sure that you can have a really detailed and picky discussion about the smallest…

Yeah, completely agree! When you think of how he started his career (by just making horror flicks for the joy of it) to where he ended up (essentially doing the same thing - making films because he wants to) I think it's totally unfair to label him as a money grabbing George Lucas kind of chap. In all the…

Wow, what a waste of someones precious time and effort. It really is as simple as 'if you don't like it, don't watch it'. Hell, if you'd already decided that Jackson was only stretching the films out to purely make money (something that doesn't ring true with anything we know about the man or anyone else over at Weta)…

Good for them I say! I have a mate who's been playing WOW for a solid seven years and she never seems to tire of it. She's still loving it and the latest expansion has reconfirmed that devotion. Let them have their fun, even if it's not how some of us would rather consume our games. It is fascinating the differences…

Really? That's the 'absolute worst'? Bad enough to 'fuck Glenn Beck?' Wow. Then I guess I should be even more grateful for my (clearly very patient) Feminist mate whom I work with at our comic shop. I wasn't lucky enough to be able to study sociology, gender politics or any other related subject at college/university.…

Some great thoughts by Tina and Conan - and I am heartened to see that chap express solidarity and sympathy with the families of the murdered on his show. It's nice to see so many other countries express similar feelings.

Couldn't agree more! I've managed to kick the habit of rushing to finish games and move on to the next 'big thing' as soon as possible and it's made gaming so much more fun. Dark Souls, Skyrim, Xcom and a whole load of other older games are still getting played, still not 100% completed. It's a shame that the…

Parma Violets are the best! They taste like Grandmothers smell mixed with sparkly nail varnish... and I can't stop eating the little bastards:(

Hmmm, I can see the marketing opportunities here. It adds an element of 'real world danger' with 'actual pain feedback'. Like that crazy device that drew blood whenever someone was injured in an FPS...but cheaper...and furrier...and cuter... Strap an Occulus to his head, shove him on one of those treadmills and cover…

Damn it Elite, you really have come a long, long way. Everything about this article is what I always dreamed Elite would eventually be. Weirdly it was almost what I imagined when I played it back in the day. My imagination just filled in the graphics. I spent a year trying to make it to 'Elite' but only ever made it…

So you hear the worlds about to end and they tell you to sing about god? Nice.

Gotham by Midnight.

I don't think that it's 'frustrating' that he replied with this series of tweets at all. That was measured, smart, sympathetic and heartfelt. Ignorance isn't the bad guy in any situation - if people are willing to ask questions, give answers and have a conversation then we can learn our way out of ignorance - the…

I have nothing against him - he seems like a decent enough chap so all power to him. He's not exactly my cup of tea but that many fans proves he's doing something right. If youtube personalities are what's going to kill blog and news aggregation sites then that's o.k by me. Find some people you like and trust and then…

I can see why this story was a tough call, especially when you know full well that any coverage for this title is pretty much free advertising. I wouldn't worry too much though, it was news so I'm glad you covered it. It would have been wrong to ignore it I think.

As for Steam pulling it, I think they should at least…

She's entirely entitled to her views and she's already coped with more online bullying than most - I hope she doesn't get more hassle just for having an opinion. Great actor.

Well done Doom! I just finished a play through of the first with the Brutal Doom mod etc and it's amazing how it is still such a fun game to play! I hadn't played it since I was a kid and as soon as I had full mouse look working it became a whole new game. (or should I say, as good of a game as I remember it being) Go…

Yeah, she didn't do that badly considering she's singing outside. Hell she might have just been having a bad day. It's that 'wobbly' style of singing that really should be on trial here - that's just way too much for any song. Don't know why people try to cram so many notes into every song - stop it. It sounds weird.x

That's just about the cutest game ever made, surely. It almost hurts my eyes with it's cuteness. It's uber-cute.

Such a great game - and a really lovely community around it in my experience. It was bloody daunting when I first started:)
