    Death penalty for Boston bomber Dzokar Tsarnaev

    Well,yeah, that kind of reinforces my point, because I'd more likely be prepared to press the button myself if that were the case (although, to be honest, I'm still not sure I could do it - why lower myself to their level?). What I'm saying is (as I think you missed my point) is that if you're...

    Death penalty for Boston bomber Dzokar Tsarnaev

    I've no problem with people supporting the death penalty, so long as they would be prepared to switch on the chair themselves (figuratively speaking, obviously; "pushing the syringe" would be more accurate). I'm sure some people on that jury would be prepared to carry out the deed themselves...

    Favourite 70's and 80's British actresses

    Glynis Barber. I only know her from having seen re-runs of Dempsey & Makepeace but she was/is a worldy.

    Not developers; publishers.

    What Conspiracy Theories Do You Believe In?

    I think that has more to do with trying to cover up various fuck-ups and incompetencies (from individuals and departments collectively) than to silence anything sinister. Whenever a disaster happens, especially something on that scale, then mistakes will be made, as you'd expect.

    Favourite Tea Brand?

    I have PG at home as it's my second favourite and most people seem to like it, but if I was a social reclusive who never had any visitors then it would be Yorkshire all day long.

    PS4 OR Xbox One

    Well, we're not yet 'a couple of years' into this generation, so still time! I recall getting my PS3 around launch time and the only decent games being Resistance, Heavenly Sword and the Orange Box (which technically was a previous-gen game). The 360 had a few good exclusives in its first 18...

    Gang of paedophiles

    1) Because we would be lowering ourselves to their level. The fact that we don't go 'eye-for-an-eye' or respond with barbarism is proof that we're better than they are. 2) Because then they'd never have to serve time and reflect upon the pain and misery they've caused, or to suffer for it in any...

    'Wow' Moments in Video Games

    - Seeing Rapture for the first time in Bioshock - Coming out of the train station and seeing City 17 in Half Life 2 - Pretty much every battle in Shadow of the Colossus - The twist in Knights of the Old Republic - Coming across a Super Star Destroyer in the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games - Seeing how...

    PS4 OR Xbox One

    Nothing confirmed yet. It's a timed exclusive for X-Box One, so we'll probably hear a release date for that first. I think they'd suggested the final quarter of the year, but I'm not certain.

    Marxism

    Indeed. Marxism is so diverse that it is beyond being just a mere ideology, it's almost a discipline. It's very easy and reasonable to be completely supportive or interested in some aspects and detest others, such is its range. For example, from a politico-economic perspective I've very little...

    PS4 OR Xbox One

    Having played through the four games I got with my PS4 - DA:I, Shadow of Mordor, Alien Isolation and PES 2015 - I haven't touched my PS4 since; still got plenty of PS3 and 360 games I want to play. Games like Far Cry 4 definitely interest me, but I've no urgency to play them. However, there are...

    Star Wars Trailer (New One Released - Page 7)

    If someone had found the old lightsaber then perhaps they also found the severed hand attached to it? Which could mean cloning potential (I sincerely hope I'm wrong - no more clones, please).

    Fairness

    Fair enough, perhaps I was a little over defensive, but I just wanted to make it clear that I was challenging the fallacy that all successful people necessarily come from privileged backgrounds or have been 'given' what they have by society, rather than suggesting that the less-well off were in...

    Tokyo

    Just got back from Tokyo, fantastic place. Quite different from what I was expecting, too. I had imagined a bustling city with people walking around with blinkers on, cramming into trains and bumping into each other on the streets without apologising (basically a London in the Far East). But...

    Fairness

    You've kind of made a straw-man argument there, and your summary of right-wing political though is a tab over-simplistic. My point wasn't to suggest that less well-off people are "lazy and feckless", nor did I even allude to such a point of view. Rather, I was arguing against this misconception...
