  1. Pc Format seems to make a good job of reviewing games; I know it's technically not a review site, but they do have a forum there.
  2. Where did you hear this?
  3. Except that the PS3 doesn't have Gears of War. " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's exactly what is implied by his statement.
  4. It's perfectly acceptable to take a second quote from the person, say, after pointing out that the statement will be directly quoted in the article that will be published for an international (PG) audience. :D

    That sound you can hear in the background is Hildegard sharpening his axe on a stonewheel ...
  6. Actually the police are well known to be drowning in paperwork: they only get out on the street about 2 days a wek (the rest is behind a desk writing everything up). Sorry for the guestimates, but I haven't kept up with the stats. If you are interested, there is an anonymous policeman who has been writing a blog about the trials and tribulations of being a copper in the UK.
  7. Give the clown an exploding cigar! Just makes the ratio more alarming, though.
  8. Mr SHodges, you are assuming that the next-gen gaming machines are primarily (or exclusively) for gaming, which isn't the case. They are convergence devices, meant to be the living room entertainment device (hence the large harddrive capacity for internet store purchases and free downloads, like the back catalogue), as well as a new player for the new 1080i (or 1080p, in the case of Blu-ray) storage standards. And I'd say that the PS2 must have had some potential, as it is still selling five years after launch, even though it is outclassed by the newer Xbox 360. Don't get me wrong, I think the new PS3 is yet to prove itself, but I think your sour grapes is prejudicing your opinion.
  9. Just finished disc 3 of Firefly ... that's probably my favourite disc of the series. One more to go ...
  10. Does it count if I don't care? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Only if it doesn't count for me, too ... "
  11. It's the pre-AD&D ruleset?!?11!! )
  12. It's worse than that it's dead, Jim. Your memory is repressing the damage done by the inane melody. (We come in peace, shoot to kill!)
  13. Yeah, the series evolves with new and different character abilities etc.
  14. I think it's nice that the IDF have given teenagers an exit strategy: all they need do is declare their love for the LARP and they're home free ..!
  15. Khelgar has the "knockdown" feat, too. I had the opponent supine nearly all of the time. He can't hit you if he's on the ground. ^_^
  16. I haven't played DA yet, but I agree with Jimmy about the first three. I'd play them in order. I haven't finished Chaos Theory yet, though, as the graphics demand was giving my laptop conniptions.
  17. Of course it's a spoiler if she hasn't played it. Let's step through the logic: Darque hasn't played game, someone tells her something about the game, now the surprise (and possibly her enjoyment) is spoiled. Hence: spoiler.
  18. Because you are arguing against shoddy argument style, not the particular subject.
  19. It'd be difficult to get them to stand still long enough for the concrete to dry ...
  20. I don't think he's talking about a political position, I think he was more thinking about being a dictator.
  21. lol The Irish weren't persecuted. At least, not in the common sense of the word. British yoke, indeed. I expect you're one of those people that sympathises with the IRA, right? Freedom fighters, not terrorists, eh? As a matter of historical fact, the Irish were treated far worse in the US than they were in their native Ireland. It is amazing to think that with all the persecuting us dastardly Brits were doing of the poor, down-trodden Irish people, that Ireland *still* managed to become the most densely populated country in Europe. Irish emigration <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not sure what dictionary you are using, so here's one for you: The Irish WERE persecuted, their land was confiscated and they suffered for their religion. From the primary school link you provided: From the wiki: What did Cromwell do? I'm glad you asked: Oh, and let's see those figures in context, shall we: And, just because the emigrants were treated poorly in Ireland doesn't preclude them being treated as bad or worse in the countries to where they emigrated. At no point did I sympathize with the IRA (nice deductive fallacy of the hasty generalization variety).

    Yeah, all those Bollywood films are about singing and polygamy. "
  23. Is that because teachers are not allowed to LARP, but aides are?
