  1. Agent 47

    Kevin Spacey does bald well. As well as the actor, they're still going on about him destroying evil etc as if he's on some holy crusade. 47 is all about the money, guys. Fact is if someone is willing to pay that much money to have 47 kill you, you probably did something nasty that pissed them off, so go figure. Throwing the big E word about dumbs down a franchise that stands out for it's sophistication.
  2. Agent 47

    Still not impressed.
  3. Rayman Raving Rabbids

    WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGG!
  4. Bioshock: PC or 360? [NO SPOILERS!]

    If I click on that link will I be flagged to the C I A?
  5. Totems

    Does it have real-time weapon change?
  6. Gingers will be extinct in 100 years

    Or the conversion of the United States into a ginger-worshipping isolated biodome (I forget the date that happened. It was probably gradual anyway).
  7. MGS4: Kojima loses his marbles?

    I like the fact that they've taken robotics in a biomechanical direction. I think that's the way robotics will turn out in real life when they become sophisticated enough to be useful. I kind of like the anachronism of them fighting in a very current-looking Middle East setting. Also, there's an element of wuxia throughout the MGS series, hence the aforementioned crazy ninja powers of the bosses that none of the characters especially remark upon. "Holy shit! He's made of bees!" Also
  8. The best song ever

    Are you cruising for a free lesson? No, I was very nice. I only sparred against my equals and superiors. Then we'd all go and beat the crap out of the rival clubs, just to prove a point.* *not actually true.
  9. Gingers will be extinct in 100 years

    Oh wow. That article shows amazing ignorance of the genetics involved. I'm surprised at the National Geographic. Fact is, most red-hair genes are recessive. While this means they are repressed in the presence of dark-hair genes, it also means that the gene itself is almost impossible to irradicate - too many non-ginger people will unknowingly be carrying a ginger gene. This means that now and again a red head will pop up, even to non-ginger parents. This doesn't even take into account the possibility of new ginger genes coming into existence by mutation (it's only a very minor mutation after all).
  10. MGS4: Kojima loses his marbles?

    I'm guessing that those guys will be the bosses, like the Cobra unit in MGS3. It's a litle more sci-fi than I would have liked I guess, but then this is a world where giant nuclear robots have existed since the cold war. The game still looks amazing.
  11. Movie/TV recommendations

    When sylar gets on the scene big-time, it picks up a lot. We haven't even "saved the cheerleader" yet. Remember there are 23 episodes, so by show 6 it's still just warming up
  12. The best song ever

    I used to teach karate to university students. That was great, and something I'd like to do again if I ever get my black belt.
  13. omfg Highlander announced!

    Yes but it's going to be based on all that series nonsense. None of the follow-ups to the first movie have "got it" in my estimation (the third movie came close). Hmm, anyone know if the series counted Highlander 2 as cannon? That was a "ruin the mythos" move on the same scale as the Matrix sequals.
  14. Did you know...

    It's a yacht!
  15. The best song ever

    And with regards to annoying child presenters - yes, although in fact I find almost all teenagers annoying anyway. This is why I could never be a teacher, which is a shame as I would make an excellent teacher.
  16. The best song ever

    So did you. Or with you it might have been the puppets. All at once. You dirty girl.
  17. Double Fine

    Surely that would be a spin-off?
  18. Woo it's a survey!

    That overlappoing is necessary for good scientific surveys - since most people don't really know their own mind, you have to ask the same question several different ways to get a decent idea of the "truth".
  19. Bioshock: PC or 360? [NO SPOILERS!]

    I just tried the demo and confirmed that I can't run the game. Well, I can run it at a different framerate, as long as I don't mind all the water in the game appearing as a black void. I think I'm going to start playing the lottory.
  20. Wow, they're really milking this one for articles: Video games need 'realism boost' What exactly is a next generation game? Our uncanny ability to spot a fake The first two headlines made me roll my eyes, but feature less polygon-wanking than they imediately suggest.
  21. The best song ever

    Heh, yeah the bad guy is quite Campbellesque (good word, use it!) Oh, and this is the shit I'ma talking about, yo. Easily trumps the stupid Cake Song,
  22. Mignola & Max

    it's one of life mysteries
  23. The best song ever

    Lazy Town is old news. It's still must-watch daytime TV though. Nick - she's legal? holy crap. Also wow. Thanks for saving my soul Nick (lets gloss over the fact that she was only 13 when the show was made). Sporticus (or the guy that plays him, whatever) has received several awards for making a genuinely funny show aimed at kids which also happens to promote exercise and healthy eating. Check out the pirate episode, its awesome.
  24. Double Shock

    Or you can hack into the security and get that to kill them for you - which falls under "NPCs" I guess. Or you combine all these any any way you see it. Yes, the game is an FPS. Some people seem to be dissapointed with that for some reason. However, it sounds like posibly the best single player FPS ever made and a true step forward for the medium.
