Don't see how the indoctrination theory can constitute it as art. If your saying that because Mass Effect caused a heated discussion within the community on its ending christened the game as 'art' well that's like saying any game that causes controversy is art. WarZ must be art? Garry's Incident must be art? Don't see the connection, and I wouldn't constitute something as art simply based around the amount of emotion/controversy involved because I like to think art is more than just - Emotion = Art. Bottom line; don't see the connection.

A random search of *Hardcore Survival Games* turned up Project Zomboid on a obscure website listing several survival games I never heard of.

Video games can definitely be art, I just feel there isn't many of them. And then you have the blurry world of what constitutes one game as art and another not. One might argue Project Zomboid is art; I would argue it isn't. I would argue Journey (for PS3) is art; someone else might say differently. Which is why art is so abstract and hard to pin down. In the end we might just end up calling something art because we got tired debating it, and ended up walking away while stuffing our face with caviar and looking pomp.

An understatement, if there ever was one. Soldiers who put their very lives on the line are paid less than the average common man. You have footballers kicking a ball around a field on 50k/200k/400k a week. You have celebrities who get paid 10 million for remembering their lines and looking 'good' on television. And then, you have 'art' like that bed, which is worth a couple of million... Easiest money ever. But that's life; it ain't bloody fair.

Weary eyes and lack of sleep; I love this game, yet hate it for what its doing to me. Just got this today and I can't stress how good it is! If you like your games to come with strong atmosphere (of the dark sort) and great story elements, then you'll love Sunless Sea. http://store.steampowered.com/app/304650/ It's still very early in development, but its playable with enough content. Main issue is balance and the game is certainly lacking balance right now, which will hopefully be sorted out in the next few patches. Here's a roadmap of what they are planning to do - http://www.failbettergames.com/sunlesssearoadmap/

Had a moment of inspiration... An empty packet of King's Cheese & Onion, inside a empty packet of Tayto, which is inside a packet of Walker's Crisps, which is inside a packet of Monster Munch, which is inside a packet of Waffles... I'll call it, "Inception"

Going to mess up my bed real proper. I'll put it on ebay, I'll call it 'Paddy's Pad' and put a reserve 600k tag on it. I'd imagine there's a lot of demand to see how an Irishman sleeps, make's his bed and the real purpose of those empty Guinness cans laying about...

I call it a messy worthless disgusting bed, but hey, what do I know about art?!? http://news.sky.com/story/1293237/tracey-emins-my-bed-auctioned-for-2-2m "The work features an unmade bed surrounded by a floor littered by empty vodka bottles, cigarette butts and condoms." "The work features an unmade bed surrounded by a floor littered by empty vodka bottles, cigarette butts and condoms." "The work features an unmade bed surrounded by a floor littered by empty vodka bottles, cigarette butts and condoms." Fuck My Life... I should have been a part-time overpaid footballer who dabbled in obscure art form; only to succumb to the insanity of it all as a rich bugger instead of a poor one. Now, if you excuse me, there's a bridge and a cold lake with reality waiting for me...

If Ireland relied on pacifism, we would still be under British rule. Peaceful protests wouldn't have earned our independence.

Get a lot of that in Dublin from Romanian beggars. Not as prominent now as they used to be a few years ago, but you still get the odd one. They have no qualms fighting you if they think they can get some change out of ya. Few years ago I got into a messy situation coming out of a shop. I had change in my hand that I was counting for the bus, and had this Romanian gypsy come up to me selling the Big Issue. I told her I wasn't interested and as I turned the b**ch swooped in and tried to take change from my hand. I slapped her hand away and she got (naturally) very aggressive with me. She did a leggar though when the Garda showed up, but she was spitting and trying to bluff her way through with false threats.

People can be strange. I usually take the cautious approach when it comes to dealing with peculiar situations like that. Try and assess who I'm dealing with before I decide on what I'm going to do. I'm never submissive and I usually -at a fault- don't hand money out in these situations, regardless of how insignificant, due to principle. Foolish I know, but I can look after myself and I wouldn't advise my principle on others. Worse thing anyone can do is make the first response a threat. Someone coming up to you asking for change and you telling them to fuck off is not going to lead anywhere pretty. If you politely told them no, and they persist rudely to the point that it escalates were they are actually following you; challenging them isn't the wise option. Let them follow you, to the police station if need be, or make a phone call to the police if the following persists for a few blocks. Their all better options than turning around and issuing a challenge for them to stop following you which for better or worse, can take an entirely different path. That's not being submissive either, it's just using your smarts. Avoiding direct confrontation is usually the better way. But I would, at a fault, exhaust all my options before I hand out money to them because it only ends up condoning their tactic and it won't be long till they'll be using it on some other poor sod.

You've gone and done it now... He's probably away telling all his creepy buds about this generous chap giving away money, as long as you pester him and follow with the odd leer now and again. Easy money lads! Next thing you'll know... He's outside your house the next day with a dozen or so other creeps. Watching. Waiting. Night hits - And then comes the constant moaning, "Please sir, can we have sum morrrr?" "Moneeeeeey.... We Wants Moneeeeeey..." all through the night, moaning forevermore. Enjoy.

I feel the same. Back in the good days of ArmA 2, the gaming community I'm part of used to play it with the ACE mod installed and nothing else. Had some great craic playing some of the best co-op missions you could find. Then DayZ came along and the zombie craze settled in. I don't have any resentment towards DayZ or their community, but I can't deny that they've effectively taken over the franchise. DayZ has always been that sort of half-filled accomplished mod, and the standalone isn't an exception to this. It's a shame because a lot of quality within the community was sacrificed for the sake of the mod. I still have some good moments playing the likes of DayZ Origins with some of my mates but it pales in comparison to the moments I've had in terms of playing ACE inspired co-op missions. ArmA 3 is also a massive step back in the series and I don't see it improving with age. This is evident from the fact that the most popular thing on ArmA 3 is Altis Life, a sort of RPG type game which is actually quite fun to play, but again shows that the community is lacking quality content to enjoy what the game was made for. It won't be long till the likes of Breaking Point and Epoch ArmA 3 take over altogether.

Tried to get into both FMA's myself and just found it a bore. Shame because Brotherhood started off great and I felt it just went downhill after that. Just finished Another. That ending... So underwhelming. It's as if they just couldn't be bothered to tie up the plot and decided instead to have one big massive . O well... Next anime I'll be starting is Jormungand after it got recommended to me.

I've just started watching Another - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2176165/ - On the 6th episode so far and loving it. Awesome twist in the show as well.

Bah! Where's the controversy in this poll? Dark Chocolate vs White Chocolate, now that's controversial! (Makes a dramatic swoon)

A lot of people also seem to be comparing it to GTA IV/V. It isn't GTA. You judge the game by its own merits, not by another game, regardless of any apparent similarity.

I'm confused. It almost sounds like your playing it now by the way you've described it, or are you just saying that based on previews/hype?

Alien Hand Syndrome... Hmmm, so that's what I suffered from in my youth when my hands would go 'roaming' about...

Didn't the UK pledged, along with some other EU countries, ... Quid .... Yeah, no chance of them staying out of it now! Wonder where that one billion went too...

Don't see how its hostile. Its his opinion, and he's entitled to it. If people are offended at a non-directed opinion (as in he's not directing it at anyone in particular) then the offenders need to relax and chill a little. Nor does he need to flesh out his view. If someone thinks [insert random film] is complete and utter rubbish, so be it, let them. More time is spent on review sites from people arguing against the reviewer because the reviewer thought the film was complete shite, against those who liked the film. It's a vicious circle.

Same issue on my end. I've recently had a chance to try out multiplayer. I know how to forward ports and have done so for other programs that I'm actively using, Zomboid is the only one that I've had issue with. Seems to be a hit/miss with some people for whatever reason and in my case I can join my server fine but when it comes to others trying they can't and I've got the range correctly set. Course not tried waiting 20 minutes as some have reported that if you wait long enough others can join your server, but alas little point in to be waiting for that long each time. Just going to let it sort itself out.

I don't think its something that you would 'see'... I mean if you know yourself, tipping in Ireland simply involves leaving a few extra on top of the coin plate along with the receipt. It's not a loud proclamation of standing up and announcing to everyone within the Restaurant, "I'm now tipping this fine waiter! Bear witness to my tipping and all bow amidst my generosity!" It's subtle and unannounced...
