Re: @Rampant Spaniel

Slightly unfair comment I thought, as "genny" is a more than acceptable use of the short form of "generator" in the English language. Have a free downvote, who ever you may be.

Re: A few comments @Rhiakath Flanders

"I managed to end Metal Gear Solid killing only the bosses. And MG3 without killing anyone."

Wait, what? How did you manage that on Snake Eater? I get that you can avoid the sniper guy entirely (save game and exit, don't play for a week, come back and he's died of old age), but I didn't think there were similar methods for the other bosses. Unless your talking about the stamina kills, but they are still kills?

Re: Are you kidding?!! We'll never get that in the kitchen. It's f***ing enormous!...

I think that the problem *may* have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument that was in danger of being *crushed* by a *druid*. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.

Yah, because leaving in that vital information would have made any difference whatsoever

I would like to raise you on that point and say, before guns there was always violence in human society.

@Sabroni - it seems to me that Destroy All Monsters was employing what is known as a "sense of humour".

@Destroy All Monsters & El Presidente - well played good sirs, well played.

Step away from the keyboard my friend, your limited experience and observations of WoW players does not equate to any actual evidence that we are all unemployed or uni drop-outs.

"How can an MP have time to play it? given many have second jobs as well." - Really! You are working under the apprehension that being an MP is a full time job!

Much like the Infinite Improbability Drive then, yes?

Re: Foll-de-roll

Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has declared “The time has come for us to build a bridge over the trolls."

But isn't this where trolls live? Under bridges? Are they trying to attract more trolls? Are they trying to establish a new social housing project for them or something?

I would like to retender that proposition and change the terminology to Fanazonian.

Re: Hmm

So I take it you haven't read it then? It's a good read, creepy stuff.

Don't dismiss stuff like this just because it's classed as a children's book, some of the scariest and most descriptive writing can be found in places like those (particularly Neil Gaiman's stuff)

@Annihilator - Last I checked, "sticks" is plural, so 3x 1TB = 3TB

Yeah, but the graphics are crappy, and you only get one life.

Bad troll, naughty troll for making me respond - back into your cave!

Re: Is this really unexpected?

"Or even a problem?"

Well, if you can afford the latests shiny at release then I guess not, but I personally very VERY rarely ever buy games on release - I would much rather wait until there are some relatively cheap second hand copies kicking about, and even then I can pick up a couple of games for £20 or less.

If it was a case that MS were doing this in the name of progress, then yes I would be in favour of it, but that doesn't appear to be the case here - it looks like they are effectively trying to shut down the second hand games market with this activity.

Re: in other news,..

Nice troll bait, 6/10 for getting me to respond!

What you did there?

I saw it.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.

You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction

B-Ark perhaps? With all of the Hairdressers and Documentary Film Makers?

How do you think the iPhone 4S came about?

That's right! Our own home-grown criminals are just not trying hard enough as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe we should retrain all those old-school bank robbers that are doing a long stretch, give them some IT skills - that'll show them pesky foreigners how to properly rob you blind!
