Bio's story is one of hubris and belief in their own hype. As for EA? It's like having a terrifically successful restaurant, then one day deciding to turn it into a McDonald's franchise, all the while convincing yourself that your burgers are going to be better. Morgie's cartoon says it all. Bwahahahahaaaaa. To carry on the tortured metaphors, it's like going out on a date with Jeffrey Dahmer then getting surprised when you end up in the icebox.

Although I am fairly indifferent to the 'Lympics (living amongst it is a bit of a chore), it is always good to see the Australians doing so poorly.

Why, Bio, Whhhyyyyy?

It's astonishing. Not being scientifically minded, it literally makes my jaw drop. Kudos to NASA.

+1. Can't we have a switch-off option. It almost as annoying as Ira from JA2 ("I got ya ear!").

Both Titan Quest games are on Steam for pennies right now, just picked them up myself.

I agree, I use the Enchantress the most, hands down. The Scoundrel is a waste of rations and the Templar, for a melee support character, is about as much use an an ashtray on a motorbike.

^ Pure win.

One day we will LOL at the subtle complexity and wit of Bethseda RPG dialogue.

No seriously, thank you. It saves me even drunkenly watching it on satellite TV.

I am writing a book set in America featuring American characters. I am writing American dialogue, syntax and idioms. It is very, very tough but an interesting exercise. Of course, I only need to sell a hundred-odd copies in every Wal Mart in the USA, and a few more online, to have enough money to pay off the mortgage. God Bless America!

I have been writing and TRYING NOT TO PLAY DIABLO 3. Word count is sitting at a majestic 24000, need to be up to 30000 by the end of the weekend (whereupon I will be 33.3% done).

Take it down to the nearest chicken takeaway and get them to lick each other!

The Americans will win. Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith will sail their captured Chinese stealth sub into the flagship and upload a computer virus on a vintage, waterproof Mac Book Pro. The PLA fleet will sink. Jeff and Will will swagger across Tianenmen Square, smoking Very Big Cigars.

I tried. But it was turd-on-a-stick. The critics were spot on. The bleeding heart West Wing contagion, over-heavy exposition and characters I wanted to machine-gun really didn't help either. A shame really, as I like Jeff Daniels as an actor a hell of a lot. If you are going to make a story about journalists must you *always* have worthy but headstrong anchor, eccentric world-weary editor, go-getting young thruster, ambitious correspondtrix and wet office girl? It's so cookie-cutter. Please go back and see Network to see how to do it properly.

Did a level 5 NV run with three other level sixties on Diablo herself, farming Hell. The drops were OK actually, some yellows to go on AH but nothing you would actually equip. That's my main criticism... where do these weapons on the AH actually come from?

I still haven't seen the Lycaeum. I'm now getting a *bit* further into inferno with my Bbn but I don't have the time to grind so I can spend half a billion gold on decent equipment. Srsly, the drops are just terrible.

Anybody who looks after a stray dog is assured a place in (insert heavenly afterlife-type location on your favoured religion here).

My monk is now level 51 on Hell. Drops are a mixture of meh and OK-ish. Obviously, co-op reaps bigger rewards but I like solo and clearing all the map. Does anyone know if there are any new areas in any of the patches? I know the maps are randomised but I found some new cave areas / dungeons on co-op Nightmare, one in Act I and another in Act II (which was full of pretty good treasure for a change). I'm also putting *all* my yellows on the AH for gold. I'm sure there's an economics PhD waiting to happen there, sheesh the crap people buy (i.e. all the stuff I put on )

This is War. My excuse is drunkeness. I also like Tom Hardy. The movie was a steaming tower of vile, viscera-sewn excrement. An insult. I am, literally, amazed that people get paid for this.

Several of you are now *this far* from complaining about OP nun units in Shogun 2.

There is no justification for making the Hobbit a trilogy FFS.

We need to invent a hate / energy generation device. By plugging Delfosse into it we can create power for earth, ending our reliance on fossil fuels and LOL hippy windmills.

My drops on NM are still crap.

They announced cross-platform MP support... http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/07/31/swords-with-friends-baldurs-gates-cross-plat-co-op/
