  1. Re:All the comments here... on Is Your Laptop Cooking Your Testicles? · · Score: 1

    No, men aren't ready for the responsibilty of implied risk free sex.

  2. Re:All the comments here... on Is Your Laptop Cooking Your Testicles? · · Score: 1

    My attitude to the male contraceptive pill has always been the same as my attitude towards making the undesirable elements of society do some form of National Service - While its a nice idea, I don't think the recipients are ready for that sort of power or responsibility.

  3. Unobtanium on $1 Trillion In Minerals Found In Afghanistan · · Score: 2, Funny

    The article did not confirm if any Unobtanium reserves were discovered.

    If these are confirmed, it may hint at the reason Bin Laden has yet to be discovered - heavy post-production on his video releases have cunningly disguised the fact he is actually 8 foot tall. And blue.

  4. Re:Do Moviegoers Want More Romantic Comedies? on Do Gamers Want Simpler Games? · · Score: 1

    I was going to make the same point.

    Simply using the term 'Games' or 'Gamers' in this context is far too narrow. Oversimplify RPGs, or Civilisation, or the Football Manager games and you remove the game.

  5. Nice setting, shame about the clichés on Could UK Tax Breaks Pave the Way For GTA London? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    London would be a fantastic setting for a GTA game; its street layout would be more fun and varied than the grid design of the US cities - I remember the carnage that could be had in the Midtown Madness game set in Paris.

    The whole "Geeze, cock'er'ney gangsta, innit" schtick is already very tiresome though (seemingly every single British crime film or TV drama already features it).

  6. Re:Syndicate on The Unsung Heroes of PC Gaming History · · Score: 1

    The screams of the citizens on fire still haunt me to this day.

  7. Microprose on The Unsung Heroes of PC Gaming History · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The games that have kept me occupied for the most time would be the various Microprose sims. F-19 Stealth Fighter, M1 Tank Platoon, Falcon 4.0. Admittedly, it may have been the manual that kept me occupied. Good times...

    I would also make an honourable mention for Sir Geoff Crammond and his Formula 1 Grand Prix series.
