    Jazz Jackrabbit. Best PC platformer EVER.
  2. Viva la Revolution!

    What a stud. With looks like this, is it a surprise that lots of women want to wear him?
  3. Viva la Revolution!

    I saw this just today...
  4. Stumble

    My brother has been using it for a while now - to the extent that he actually paid to register it. I've used it a couple of times, but it isn't really something that interests me. I have the toolbar installed on Firefox, but keep it hidden most of the time.
  5. StripBar Tycoon

    http://www.stripbartycoon.com/pix/in_game.jpg It looks like they used Klik & Play. Which gives me an idea...
  6. Half Life 2 First Impressions

    ...nngh...must restrain the urge to buy Half-Life 2...have exams coming up... Right, I am *not* going to buy this until December. You'll see...
  7. Game Packaging

    Come to Europe - everything comes in DVD cases. I was appalled when I opened my import copies of Runaway and The Longest Journey to find paper sleeves...
  8. Half Life 2 First Impressions

    Or just get him to phone/email you with the serial code...
  9. Attn: Game Designers and Artists.

    In which case I still think that his thinking is flawed. It's important to play bad games as well as good ones, so that you have a better idea of the pitfalls.
  10. Attn: Game Designers and Artists.

    Why should we critique only the best-selling games? Yes, there's going to be some dross in there, but shouldn't we also critique flops to try and work out what went wrong? Otherwise we risk falling into the same traps. But then, I'm not David Perry, so I suppose I'm not allowed an opinion on these matters . He just wants some more people to buy Enter the Matrix.
  11. Size of the games industry

    Also, compare the number of released games to the number of films that reach your local cinema. I'm sure that there are more of the former.
  12. Any tips on making reviews?

    This depends on whether you are posting or emailing the review. If email, the no - it just makes the email take longer to download, annoying the reader. If you're posting it then you can, but don't just include them for the sake of it. Most magazines have an art director, and someone will probably pick a load of different screenshots from what you came up with anyway. It's also not uncommon for the screenshot captions to be written by somebody other than the reviewer. Balancing up what I've said, I wouldn't add screenshots unless you were asked to, or unless you're making a point that only works when accompanied by a screenshot.
  13. The Giveaway 2: The Singles.

    Hi. My name's Robert, and I enjoy...um...sitting in this corner here? It's *my* corner, dammit! Who are you, anyway? Will you be my friend? I've never had a friend before... No, don't go... Seriously, though, my chat up lines are quite literally non-existant. So I need you to find another copy of The Singles and send it to me so that I can practice. Go on. You know you want to. Incidentally, guys, it would appear from the business card I have that Spaff already loves *me*...
  14. Help terry find his frog

    You're kidding, right? That is the Right Hon. Tony Blair MP, Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
  15. Killzone PS2 Demo giveaway!!!!! omg.

    Here's a nice, utterly lame joke. Make sure you read the speech as if its a common noise made by the animal, OK? A chicken walks into a library, goes up to the librarian and says 'Book! Book! Book!'. Now, after the initial shock of having just seen a chicken wander in and start asking her questions, the librarian gives the chicken some books. And off the chicken goes, out of the library. The next day, the chicken is back, goes up to the librarian and says 'Book! Book! Book!'. Slightly puzzles, the librarian nevertheless decides to give the chicken some more books, and the chicken wanders out again. The next day, the chicken is there yet again, and it goes up to the libarian and says 'Book! Book! Book!'. The librarian is now feeling a little nosy, and so follows the chicken as it leaves the library. They go down the street, and out of the town, through a couple of fields and a small patch of woodland, until they come to a clearing. And in that clearing is a pond. And in that pond, sitting on a lilly, is a frog. And every time the chicken passes the frog a book, it just says 'Readit! Readit! Readit!'. I thank you. I'm off to grab my coat now, if anybody wants me...
  16. There certainly wouldn't be a single no-win-no-claim company that would take this up, so I assume that the person who brings the case is responsible for the costs whether they win or lose (unless they also win the costs of the proceedings, which is unlikely). Then again, as someone who's never been taken to court over anything like this, don't trust me on this one hundred per cent. Not even if I am British.
  17. Extraordinary League of Gentlemen

    At the same time, though, bear in mind that he spends all his time complaining about the need for, and the lack of, Scottish independence from the UK. I could cope with this, but he doesn't actually live in Scotland - he lives on some tropical island out in the Carribean...
  18. Flatout

    I'm more interested in Trackmania: Sunrise myself...
  19. Is Your Mom Hot?

    I don't think you need the word 'now' in that sentence ...
  20. Is Your Mom Hot?

    My mother is feeling quite cold at the moment. At least, I assume she is, because she's wearing a jumper.
  21. So I just got KOTOR....wot now?

    Lock yourself in a room and play it. And don't let anyone tell you anything about the plot .
  22. New Playstation 2

    You Americans and your hard drives! Feel the might of us Europeans, who...um...can't buy them...
  23. Help with the Laptop

    Surely that should be H+ + OH- -> H20?
  24. Monkey Island

    Don't mind deadworm. He's like that.
  25. Evil Twin

    I liked Evil Twin, but I remember that I started using the infinite lives cheat almost immediately. It's a game that's unfair, but boy does it do it stylishly. Well worth the £10 I paid about three weeks after its release. For a new copy. And I really ought to go back and finish it...
