No. My star shines brighter sober.

Nothing, and I mean nothing is funnier than plastic American-Celts who are always woadier-than-thou. FREEEEDDDDOOOOOOOMMMM!!!! and don't get me started on 'Irish-Americans' singing Danny Boy and funding terrorism.

I've given up alcohol in the week, so naturally I want to get utterly wankered.

I took heavy-handed and am pleased with the pure power of my spiked knuckles.

I have just finished the section on the importance of pizza when gaming. Patience, tunnel-venturers!

Awesome article. From the same website http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/25/3110947/anthrocon-furry-furries-pittsburgh-wild-kingdom

Will I get to holler "UNLEASH HELL!" in an Aussie accent? Y'know, for realism?

It's brave making a game that cleverly mocks the genre fans that buy it. However, don't be surprised when they finally twig that they've dumped fifty euros on a product that tells them that they are blood-thirsty, amoral morons. Because that's what they've gone and done.

^ No, it's mostly because of Sandra Bullock in a very tight PVC uniform.

I love the way a 500lb gorilla feels the need to run away after hurling the missile. Like anybody is going to wrestle him as a result.

The older Dredd movie might be dreck, but it's great-looking dreck. I thought the visuals were great.

Yeah, I'd say that was a fair summary for me too.

It's different to D1 and D2. There are no real skill trees to speak of, just passive, offensive and defensive skills that you can alter with 'Runes.' All of these unlock at different levels. So at level sixty your character has access to all the skills. The secret is how you configure those skills with your equipment for optimal DPS / armour / HP and resistances. So, technically, all characters are equal. Once you've built one level sixty barbarian there's no real need to build another --- because you'd still have access to the main skills. I suppose most non-addicted players might get two, maybe even three different classes maxed out before (a) they get bored (b) beat inferno in a group and / or (c ) the XP / DLC comes out.

Sorry to sound dumb, but how does Science function in the big scheme of things? I tend to ignore comps / hacking for some reason and I especially loathe lock-picking minigames.

Real-life rudely, even cruelly, interrupted my attempts at finishing New Vegas last year. I think I got about a third way through and was really enjoying it. So now I am going to re-start and try again. I would like some views on character builds... I like the idea of a stealthy sniper type of character with good communication skills and perhaps a little bit of tech knowledge. But I'm not really a SPECIAL mentat so any advice would be welcome. Secondly, I haven't really explored any of the DLC. What would you guys recommend? Cheers, MC

Am I the only one loving the idea of a viscous insult? A really gooey, physically tangible slur? Maybe hurling abuse whilst jamming a finger in one nostril and blowing hard through the other?

That's some serious cat-fu.

Again, this is Ray Bradbury territory and there's nothing wrong with it... as long as the characters are interesting enough to magically radiate plot as they go along. I'd buy that for a dollar [/robocop] It always comes back to tunnels. It's where it's at. If, say, Transformers 2 had been set in a tunnel it would have been significantly less crap. Wuthering Heights would have been awesome had it been set underground. and, no, I'm not Austrian. Yup. Please send me the first three chapters and a synopsis. Being terrible is no barrier to commercial success. Fifty Shades of Grey is making millions. That started, FFS, as Twilight fanfic... Seriously, you are Mike Creighton's cryogenically preserved brain and I claim my ten dollars. I am up to a paltry 12000 words but am over the hump and gathering pace. I'm always like this, I scrabble away at the... hymen of my plot (eeewwww) then BAM! I'm through and it's easy after that. Cheers MC

I ragequit yesterday on inferno, playing with gfted (who has a badass monk). My Barb is so squishy it's not true, and I ain't got time to farm and play AH economics. This is one reason why for me D3's replayability is limited. The current obsession with microtransactional profit models is damaging games.

People losing their jobs is always awful, unless of course they are politicians or Hedge Fund managers (then it's pretty funny). But car factories shut down and thousands of people lose their jobs. IT professionals are actually well-adapted to find new work. The guys who assemble Buicks generally ain't. So it's business in the middle of a world recession. Sad, but there you are. Sorry.

Fellow forumites. Money clearly cannot buy taste. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2166467/The-Arab-REV-olution-London-Dozens-Middle-Eastern-millionaires-supercars.html The car djiin appears. He offers you a car. What would you choose? Model and reasons, please. We can do better than this.

I'm still at ten thousand words but my little notebook is almost full of plotting and stuff... I do it on the train into work. My friend Entrerix might choose to do that before he even starts hammering away at the keyboard. Your brain is full, your notes are in front of you at it gets a lot easier. And it's taken me almost three years to figure this out, despite it being Piece Of Advice Number One in every book on writing you are likely to read.

Amazing. They got the numbers almost right, which is a rare sight. They showed the person who really won the war and deserves all the merit. I'm very impressed indeed. Don't. Feed. The. Troll. Oh, OK then. My colleague's father (A British Royal Navy stoker) got the Baltic medal from the Russians for being sunk twice supplying the Commies with ammo, tanks and food on the most dangerous sea-route in history. He deserves no merit apparently. You, sir, are a wanker.

I remember it getting fairly indifferent scores which are, IMO, unfair. It's a great FPS, full of character and it looks great too.

I must introduce you to my agent.
