...Something new ends up bugging me! To be fair, this time, it wasn't something that I had really noticed before. One of the TV channels was showing TWOK (the regular version, not the DE unfortunately!) the other night, and as per usual, I ended up watching it (I'm quite confident I can...

If I wanted to track somebody down, could I do this by contacting their country's consulate/embassy in the UK? (where I live) I actually have no idea where to start, only having information from 1988, such as a place of work, a name, and a couple of photos. Furthermore, the person I wish to...

Sir Patrick Moore, the UK's best known astronomer, has died today at the age of 89. Moore presented the BBC late-night astronomy show - The Sky At Night for more than 50 years. For those unfamilair with Patrick Moore, you could say he was the UK's equivalent of Carl Sagan, as both played...

I've become intrigued about interpretations of first contact. Now I've read most of the classics, Niven, Asimov, etc, you name it. What I'm looking for is specific, but realistic enough for people to come up with recommendations. What I'm looking for is a novel that involves first...

I've been thinking a lot about SE's business model, in regards to the Final Fantasy series. It's painfully obvious that the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy, was always meant to be a trilogy, which means that SE's focus has shifted from one-off individual instalments, to compilations and sequels. On...

Maybe I'm the most computer illiterate person in the world, despite the computer things I am good at, but I really struggle to grasp the principles of computer programming. I've made attempts, every now and then, to try and learn about things such as Java, C++, PHP, etc, but I've always come...

I'd like to try and tackle this from a philosophical perspective, however, please forgive me if it goes astray. It seems that there are a lot of members of this board, that publicly identify themselves as athiest or agnostic. I count myself among them, although it's not always black and white...

I've got an idea in the works for something. As one of the individuals who have been requesting a music forum, I feel I should really be doing more to justify the creation of such a thing. So, I plan to do a review series, in which I'll take a classic movie soundtrack, and review each of the...

I know this might sound pretty sad, but Lost played a big part in my life. I discovered about a year after it began airing in the USA, when Channel 4 acquired the syndicate rights to broadcast here in the UK. I was absolutely hooked from the first episode and pretty soon I had caught up...

Although I've seen it before, I noticed the other day that the William Shatner roast was up on Netflix. It occured to me quite quickly that most of the people shown laughing on camera appeared to be forcing it - as if nobody really found any of the stuff funny. Each to their own on the humour...

From Examiner I don't care what anybody says about the XIII saga, the games had their hits and misses but the story is pretty damn spectacular and I'm glad that Square Enix is going ahead with a proper conclusion. So how is this going to work? Well, Lightning is obviously going to be the...

From what I understand, it's a shambles. (that's the short story) But it got me thinking, we in the United Kingdom have a tendency to moan about the NHS (a tax funded institution that supplies free healthcare), but I actually think we are better off. Sure, many NHS employees are miserable...

Don't ask me how I know these kinds of people, but I was talking to a psychologist friend of mine (who is deeply involved in the study of autistic spectrum disorders) and Star Trek came up in conversation. Now I've never been one to "not mention" that I'm a huge fan of Star Trek, so I told my...

Expanding upon Yoda's species? Don't get me wrong, everyone likes a little mystery, but there has been virtually nothing about the culture or background of Yoda and his species and Lucas has apparently forbidden SW literature writers from even writing anything in depth about Yoda - or his...

I'm trying to figure out the name of a PSX/PS1 game that was around between 1998-2000. It was a JRPG that was played top down outside of combat and traditional 3rd person when combat initiated. There were things such as mana herbs and part of the game took place upon some kind of ship. It was...

I am incapable of finding anything funny about these adverts. It's not even original, since they are blatantly ripping off the Chuck Norris stuff and mixing it up with Isaiah Mustafa. Mind you, forced advertising with lazily constructed commercial content is nothing new. /rant over...

I am a massive fan of the Superman franchise and perhaps surprisingly, a lot of my fandom leans towards the live action adaptions rather than the comics. However, I am familiar with the Superman comics and the established lore throughout the years. Now having recently picked up Lois and Clark...

Or perhaps you do one thing with the goal of eventually living off that and something else you are less passionate about to pay the bills? I have an ulterior motive for starting this thread as I'm looking to poach career (maybe not specifics, but industry definitely) ideas from anyone and...

So what is everyone looking forward to? I've mentioned a few times that I'm anxiously awaiting the announcement from SE regarding the next game in the Final Fantasy series, whether that be Versus XIII (which will hopefully be multi-platform) or XIII-3 (which is a 99% sure thing, surely?!)...
