I just completed the longest journey which makes me....ten years behind? An awfully long time behind. Just got FEAR in the steam sale the other day as well.

A quick note to any LRR chat users who do poke their head into the forums: I won't be around a while as apparently my IP has been banned from ARG-IRC.NET, getting DNSBL listed. I'll keep trying to work a way around it whilst simultaneously trying to think of a single reason as to why my IP has taken...

Midwinter.

It'd never be completed in today's tech.

Oh god, please.

Fucking free press.

No really. Fucking free press.

I'm willing to give it a go, although I'm in the UK so it's quite some way for my internets to travel. But yeah. Let's give it a go.

@Madrak

Sure, I'm not denying cuts have to be made. You'd have to be a fool to say we don't need to make cuts. But it's what cuts and how heavy you make them that matters.

That is why this has all gone to shit.

Re Benefit reforms: Reforms were not mentioned in the budget. All that was mentioned was the huge amount of money that they're going to take out of the system. That's not reform; that's punishing everyone be they misusing it or not. It depresses me that so many people have swallowed this with nary a...

Really, though Square should just be releasing it's back catalogue onto the PSnetwork. I want to give them money. Is that so hard to arrange? Well sometimes there's always irritating problems with publishers and developers having a fall out over who holds the license and what not but otherwise yeah...

Good luck to you sir on a change in life I may never be able to make yet must indeed think about.

A four player co-op game. Four well constructed characters from our world, varying in age, sex and home country. Briefly you get to see these four going about their very different day to day lives. They head home and we discover a simple thing in common: They have all met one another online playing ...

@Myrph

Alas that joke will be lost on many. I salute you sir.

Also I tried Achaea once. I don't have the patients for MUDs I guess.

I own Sins but have yet to get into it.

If I join you guys I will lose badly.

I am confused about that. Are we talking a Half-Life to Half-Life 2 type jump? Where you get teleported through space and time and end up 1000 years in the future? It's a lot of guesswork, but this article here seems to say that Chell was placed in stasis. Which means any last links to the HL unive...

I forgot how awesome Portal 2 was going to be when Valve failed to make all my dreams come true and announce Episode 3.

I'm not so keen on them using the animator as a voice actor. He's not great.

Also @Cureless_Poison: You are a soulless monster.

Who won: Cynics

Favourite part: The bit where no one did anything really cool

Frosty shouldn't reply, it's better to not get involved. BUT THERE'S SOMEONE BEING WRONG ON THE INTERNET! Although I appreciate you may not have meant it in that way by using the word feminist and attaching it to a image like that then you only further fuel that image. Try replacing it with the word...

Most female characters are either self-righteous, feminists with as much testosterone as the space Marine, sexed up dominatrixes with have as much personality as they do clothing, or stupid, emotionless damsels-in-distress who's sole purpose is to provide a love interest for the male character. Now...

@Greig Oblivion doesn't let you develop your char that well. Same goes for Pokemon. I'd really only take Mass Effect as a example I'm thinking of here. As in, well written, well acted and believable. But I bet you when they make the movie if Shepard is in it that it's male. On the game cover Shepard...

Good examples, but like you I wish there were more examples then that. This list shows just how far we have to go.

We need more. Desperately. I'm so shit bored of playing fucking marine #114 with gruff voice and testosterone overload. I need video games to prove to me that they're ready to grow up: They need to feature female leads more often. Not a female who's sexed up either. Or unrealistic. I want a human be...

I'm always around for a game of TF2. Always.

I'm not sure how many people will be watching the F1 at Montreal but I got to say, it's looking like a good race for tomorrow. Great qualifying session and the circuit itself is just awesome.

How I've missed you Canadian Grand Prix...

Banned for making me think of Monkey Island and how it no longer lives.

I want to say that this kind of stuff isn't true, but to be honest I'm really not sure. I feel the UK as a country needs to do some serious self examination about sexism within the country.

However the idea that violence against women is tolerated or acceptable? That I don't believe for a minute.
