Cheers, and thanks for not mentioning my absolute balls up in my first sentence of my second paragraph! I must have been changing the structure of the sentence and then got distracted. What I meant to say is that there are enough differences in FPS games that people who have strong preferences for one type over…

That’s a valid point if you consider all the game modes to be interesting. From my point of view I like the big battles and the game play the big battles provide. Having more maps mixes up things even more......I’ve tried the other modes and they don’t do anything for me. If you’re a Battlefield player like me who…

Ugh, fly guy controls are horrible. At least in DICE’s battlefield franchise, even though it’s hard to pilot, you can at least make sense of the controls - not only the actual buttons but how the vehicle handled.

Yup. I expected more. I’ve invested in it now (both through my wallet and my Star Wars loving heart) so I’m going to give a longer chance than I do most games that bore me after two hours, but it’s a real letdown when it comes to content (lots of modes, few of quality) and quality (it’s fun and challenging enough to…

Must be the onions I’m cutting.

He was Rugby’s first big star, and no-one has come close being as big as he was in his prime...

So sad seeing Joost like that, but strangely inspiring as well....like Lomu, he too was a key figure in my rose tinted memories of getting into the sport after I moved to NZ. I loved the rivalries and am sad when this generation loses amazing players....Jerry Collins’ death was hard for me to take too.

I only use lol when I actually lol....so...um....lol

Haha, came here to say something about this shit-stain’s value to his society, but glad you beat me to it.

Same. I like Rousey enough (she came across as a bit of an asshole at but I can’t say I watched her speak enough to know if it was just the superficial first impression) and I think she’s an amazing athlete and awesome presence in the octagon, but like you said.....she was a big fish in a relatively small pond. At the…

Ha! So many good maps....I loved the night/snow one. I loved the Vietnam dlc too.

I know right? BFBC2 was the game which finally introduced me to online multiplayer gaming. I’ve always loved gaming but through a series of circumstances had missed out on online gaming through my youth and during most of my twenties I’d dabbled in things like COD only to hate it because I was so shit at it compared…

Thanks for your reply. No I didn’t play beta (the released the beta whilst I was holiday in tropical paradise) .....my impressions are all second hand and while I’m taking them with a grain of salt, I’m also judging from past experiences with looking at pre release gameplay and marketing hype to form my sceptical.…

I missed out on the Beta because I was away. I hear a lot of people were happy with the Beta and it brings me hope, becaseu I’m not feeling this game yet. I mean, the Star Wars fan in me is excited, but not the gamer in me.

Problem is, DICE has been lowering their Multiplayer quality since Bad Company 2.....their attempt to grab some of the COD type players who like smaller maps and no team play seems to have diluted their product in my opinion. There is something about this game that just put me off - I’ll buy it but I’m not expecting…

So they did all that work making it really authentically starwars feeling, looking and sounding game, with the models and sounds and shit, and then I have to play the game with that much un-star wars trash on the fucking HUD? Fire your HUD designers DICE...how much fucking real estate does that ugly trash take…

Yeah, I also wondered why more wasn’t made of her in the first story either. She was the one with the initial fixation and the more I watched the initial video the more pissed off she looked. Her hubby just wanted to thigh slap to what passes for humor at those events.

It’s a pretty standard trait of human society, and the societies that are progressing in regard to it are still few and far between.

Short answer: no.

You’ve pretty much got it.
