I've seen used copies still going for above £30 in some places here... which is incredible. And stupid. Read more

Yeah, the Risen are such a pain to fight. There's a lot of them, they have a huge aggro range making it hard to weave your way past a pack, and they hit hard with AoE attacks - especially on my relatively weedy Sylvari, who's specced for Power/Precision more than anything. It was a nightmare trying to 100% the straits… Read more

I've mainly been following where the story quests takes me - saving the other 50ish percent of the world to explore 'fresh' on Alts. I'm so close to finishing off the Orr stuff on my Engineer I might as well stick with it for now. Read more

Actually, I've just hit the Orr endgame zones on my Sylvari Engineer, and it was a bit of a shock as to how much I didn't really enjoy it - replacing all the heart quest progression you get from 1-70 with nothing but Dynamic Events might sound awesome on paper, but it ended up being quite frustrating to me. Constantly… Read more

Wait, I'm still none the wiser as to why Jill is there, in her RE5 getup. Like... what. Wouldn't it make more sense for her to be in her BSAA gear or something? Is there even a BSAA any more (no idea what they did with Chris in... maybe the last movie? I stopped caring after the first) in these films? Read more

Oh, I hope so. I love that track, but the EC version knocks it out of the park, especially by not ending on that dissonance. Read more

Oh man, A Future for the Krogan and An End, Once and for All? LPO, you spoil me so! Read more

See, I was totally down on the side of Dragons, until I saw the Mechagodzilla answer. How could I not pick that? Read more

Yeah, the weird OCD part of me is freaking the hell out about that lack of a colon in the Star Trek title. I dunno... it just irks me. I don't mind the 'into darkness' bit, but yeah, I'm feeling the colon's absence. Read more

Really digging some of Axton's abilities so far - there's so many I like I found it hard to actually make a build that stuck to one tree to get into the later skills! Originally I thought I'd really dig into the Gunpowder tree for the Longbow Turret/Nuke combo, but there's really only 3 skills in there I actually…

This is all well and good, but... HOLD IT!

I've done Numbers 2 (Alhaeran, my Sylvari Engineer, just dinged 60, but I've started a Nolan North - aka Human Male - Warrior just to try melee out who's level 7, and I have an Asura Ranger and Charr Elementalist waiting as reserves) and 4 - 1 gold spammer, and 1 little asura who went f-and-n-bomb ballistic in Map… Read more

They're crazy Daleks. I'm sure they'll take what they can get, as the 'pure' Dalek society has already abandoned them to the asylum. Read more

but we are now one step closer to all of your secret and sensuous "Benedict Cumberbatch and Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney get locked in an abandoned whipped cream factory" fan fiction. Read more

The Dalek-zombies/new versions of the Robomen actually really creeped me out. The skull-cracking sound of the Dalek eyestalk emerging from their heads felt like it almost went a bit too far - in fact, reminded me of the debate where they actually removed a similar sound from the transformation of people into Gasmask… Read more

Screw that - a Prime Minister indicates there have to be other ministries and departments for him to be head of. Where's the Dalek Minister for Agriculture? (CUL-TI-VAAATE!) The Dalek Minister for Justice? (JU-DI-CAAATE!) Read more

Nope, he destroyed Skaro's sun. Which is probably just as much as destroying Skaro, but clearly not! Read more

It's nice to see all that ridiculous elitism of yours managed to completely eradicate your ability to use apostrophes. Read more

Yeah, I had a similar gripe. Whilst my connection is perfectly fine for MMOs and online gaming, it sucks for downloading content, so I opted for the Retail version of GW2 to limit the amount of downloading i'd have to do... turns out that didn't matter, because after a 10 minute, 2 disc install, I was stuck… Read more

I think you're underselling the scale and price of this sort of action figure a little, Luke - I mean, not only is it actually harder to consistently get good sculpting and paintjobs on a smaller scale like 5" (or even smaller, such as the 3-3/4" size of Hasbro ranges like Star Wars and Marvel Universe), but these… Read more
