  1. Each game's own method of traversal works well for its respective setting and context. /thread /realises thread isn't about that /allows thread to resume
  2. Spoiler tags can also be found as an option under the Media button.
  3. Don't sweat it. Like I said, it was from ages ago and probably buried somewhere.
  4. That phrasing sounds far too vague, especially when the article references what sort of answers they expected. Pretty much everything the AQA spokesman says sums it up for me.
  5. Goddamnit, I'd actually been waiting for that to drop in price, and my Gold subscription ran out last month. Looks like I'll be doing the same as you! EDIT: Hmm, with that £2 thing you do need to make sure you cancel before it takes the £5.99 payment in July, it seems.
  6. It is already asking what you have said. The difference being that because it is concerning religious studies it needs to have some context/subject. Besides, if someone does just list things people dislike about Jews then they have misunderstood the question and their mark would reflect that. And the protest is not against the phrasing of the question, it is the chosen subject.
  7. Heh. Fair enough. She did look good, and Jason Bateman was completely unnecessary but good.
  8. Smokin' Aces Damn, What was the guy smoking when he made this film? It had maybe two or three decent moments but it was such a poorly-paced clusterfuck of a shit story that hinges on a dumb twist. Although, it's quite an accomplishment to include so many characters yet not a single one about whom you could give a fuck.
  9. I made a thread for this waaaay back when we were still waiting for it to arrive in Europe. It took so long that I was past caring...and now I'm hoping for a PC version.
  10. Beastie Boys' Sabotage video remade with kids
  11. Secret poster for TDKR was discovered. I presume it was a secret because it was found via a QR code. http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/170771-a-secret-poster-for-the-dark-knight-rises-has-been-revealed
  12. You and T-Next would probably know the legal definition better than me, and a lot comes down to how Origin groups its games, but 'storewide' doesn't necessarily mean every single item. As an example, department stores can claim 'storewide' sales but that doesn't apply to every single brand or concession within a department. Obviously, Origin is a different beast, and I'm not sure if you can say it's done by genre or publisher or something.
  13. Ah, interesting. I remember seeing kerosene in Home Alone 2. Of course, I didn't know anything when I was a kid and the context pretty much explained what it was. "Now why would anybody soak a rope in kerosene?" *Kevin lights a match and holds it at the bottom of the rope they're climbing down* "Merry Christmas!" "GO UP!"
  14. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-18207323 "It said 'Jew'. OFFENSIVE!"
  15. So, yeah... http://blog.bioware.com/2012/05/24/mass-effect-3-rebellion-pack/
  16. I had a couple of friends, housemates at uni even, who got addicted to WoW during the early days. They were rolling out of bed about two in the afternoon, not even bothering to get dressed, missing all sorts of lectures and seminars, and staying up probably until about 5am. It didn't help that the walls didn't offer the best sound-dampening, so I could hear them laughing and chatting to one another down the other side of the house when trying to sleep. One of them was already failing his course, generally through a lack of motivation, and the other managed to scrape a third in his law degree (which I think makes it pointless because you need to do some sort of postgrad course if aiming for a career, and those require a 2:1). The law student friend even had mould growing on a plate in the corner of his room at one point. On the bright side, they're both past that now. One has just completed a full course this year, just awaiting his final mark, and the law guy is married and has a kid, while working a completely unrelated job he seems to like. Both seem to be enjoying life more than me... Thanks for bumming me out, Yant!
  17. I can't think of anything specific, but I know there are plenty of Smash TV-type clones. Usually with zombies. And, generally, offering nothing new or interesting.
  18. Yeah, I believe one aspect of it was how it had forced the characters into roles that are the opposite of what you'd expect. I haven't read it in a while but I believe there was that tension over just how fit Tony Stark could be to lead the thing, and how even someone like Captain American would take such a stand. I think the Secret War arc had gone some way towards fracturing the team as well. The whole concept was really quite good but the actual execution was incredibly poor. Resorted to demonising the pro-reg side so hamfistedly. I know Marvel: Ultimate Alliance II used those story arcs to forge a slight variation on the whole thing and it was actually alright. I kinda wish they'd make a new X-Men Legends though.
  19. I have completely forgotten how to play, it's been so long. Anyway, this is still a great live album if you like that sort of thing. Listened to it so much all those years ago.
  20. You'd not seen Jumanji before?! It is good.
  21. I wish their music had skewed more towards this sort of thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoFza8Favok
  22. You know, it's almost as if Captain America and Iron Man could lead two different sides in a Civil War.
  23. Not that I agree entirely, but someone had this to say: "Black Widow outruns Hulk, outfights Hawkeye, and outsmarts Loki before saving the world. Gosh, isn't she just great?"
