What type of SF? I'm going to say big space opera, even though it's predominantly set on one planet (which would be Earth). It's veeeeeeeery definitely sci-fi of the softer variety, instead of something like what Clarke would write, I'll say that. Ursula K. LeGuin softer, or Piers Anthony softer? "...

Dead Snow's another good'n.

Nazi zombies. Nuff said.

Oh, and since it's snowing in Britland, not that everyone in the entire country won't shut the fuck up about it, or anything, well... they don't make snow angels round our way. No, they make snow cocks.

Now that is a cold, implacable WCoA if ever I saw one.

Leaving aside, for a second, the fact that Go, Sunny, Gogo! is barely readable pile of wank, what in the name of fuckery does he think he's doing charging Â£3.20 (in pommy money) for a fucking (in his own words) novella ?

Seems like a good time to ask something that has been puzzling me. What exactly is the attraction of Facebook?

Hmm, "ladycave" does have a certain ring to it.

Have you rooted that beast? Been hearing great stuff about the HTC OneX+ but weren't HTC (and others)embroiled in that Carrier IQ fiasco earlier this year? Nah, I'm a congenital coward, shag all chance of me rooting it. I know my luck, I'll brick the bastard thing, mark my words! As for Carrier IQ,...

Ooh, phones, a topic I actually know something about! Pitchguest, I've got an HTC One X, and it's an ungodly powerful bastard of a thing.

Glad I've got round to playing Iron Man mode, though, you really feel those losses hit ye right in the chest. You're a brave beagle.

Anyone playing the new X-com? It's a ton of fun. Yo! Good innit! So far at least when someone has gotten killed it's never felt cheap, it's definitely felt like it was my own damn fault. That's the beauty of it, I reckon. It's brutally unforgiving in places, but the game's very good at telegraphing...

Well, given that my longest playthrough in any other game is around the 37 hour mark, and that my main Skyrim character has a playthrough that clocks in at 91 hours (which includes fast travel, as I'm basically a lazy old sod), I can well believe it. The land of Skyrim does tend to suck one in; I do...

WARNING, DARTH, ME3 SPOILERS! Agreed - I liked all the story bits up until the end (especially the speech you make up more or less on the fly) in ME3. Despite the fact that I made peace between the geth and the fleet (damn, forgot the name of Tali's people), the thing at the end still says peace is...

Ooh, Darth Cynic, what race/character build(s) did you go with in Skyrim (I'm assuming multiple characters to clock up a playtime that long)? You've hit on one of the reasons why I loved Mass Effect 2 so much, there, too; it made me all introspective, and actually told me something about myself. F'r...

Because of mykeru's voice vibrating with rage, I'm going to presume the inclusion of the martian fighting machine sound effects (I really shouldn't have watched War Of The Worlds when I was 4...) was a deliberate move to scare me bollockless.

That's how you do Atheism+, isn't it?

Welp, watching part two of Derren Brown Apocalypse, I'm struck by the fact that there's a FUCKTON of handheld camerawork in it, including close-ups, (and that's close-ups without much camera shake, which is weird if they're filming from a distance and zoomed in). This is awesome, I'm finally getting...

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm loving the arse off XCOM: Enemy Unknown at the minute, and this is coming from someone who's never really looked at strategy games before, and used to hate turn-based games.

Properly good game, it is!

Not been on for a while, but just wanted to say condolences, Phil.

You just had to mention scary British TV without a trigger warning, didn't you! *fainting couch* And now I'm remembering Threads, the infamous broadcast about the effects of a nuclear war, that completely shat an entire nation up.

I'll be honest, going to a convention is one thing I've never actually done. I just devoured anything I could find, books, films, TV, you name it.
