    Of course it's always personal preference and all, but i'd probably advise against it.
    The few games i've played that are there and exclusive are not worth buying a system. At worst you can go and buy them later on at a much lower price.
    Honestly though, wait till E3 and see what's revealed beyond it. That'll probably change a lot of people's minds.

    Honestly showing a bit of age here, but I remember when some people avoided opting into have any email account. People didn't want that partial stigma of being part of the niche PC market back in the early-mid 90s, as well as many didn't want just anyone contacting them through email, like it was your home telephone number or address.
    We can see how that went, but I honestly don't care anymore. People'd be able to find me with or without a gmail, facebook or twitter if they really wanted, because we all use the internet, have accounts, we all now use email. Having different names doesn't mean we're different people. I could use Google search right now and find if some member on here have different accounts elsewhere. Some would be able to check the IP address. Ok I'm rambling, but I'm saying that there is no real secrecy online anymore.

    I personally am thankful of social network integration to sign into accounts. It's so much easier than remembering which of the 12 password variations I have in my head and used in this account I haven't logged into for 3 months. As long as you know the service you're using, it's all that matters. Issue is, people are dumb, they don't know the terms or issues of what they're using. I'll inform them if I can, but when we have the internet at our fingertips, being ignorant is a weak excuse.

    No. Nuclear armaments are bad for humanity, not Miley Cyrus or Facebook. Just because we're exposed to dirt bags and massive pricks who are either delusional, uninformed or teenage angst twenty something year olds doesn't make humanity worst off. We've suffered centuries of misogynist, racists, classists or religiously motivated bastards ruling our countries, commanding armies, becoming politicians and teachers. We'll survive trolls. Hell, we have bigger fish to fry in the real world.

    Social networking is a form of communication, digitally processed on a global scale. Communication is a product of being social creatures, we develop ways to exchange thoughts, feelings and information. The act of communicating has helped humanity survive and thrive, allowing us to work together as well as get what we want. Communication is essentially our best way to be better people, it's not bad inherently and i'd even argue it's pretty good.

    There will always be those who chat **** and use it as a political stand, but there will also be those who use it to spread laughter and promote good causes. Can't have one without the other.

    Sorry, I don't know the order of this works, confused. No rules to refer to when I was losing it.

    Dare you to post on three members profiles you appreciate, telling them as such (screenshot your post history, please).

    No one would want it unless you severely undercut the price.

    Creative Writing. Making stories with words never gets old. Though I still do miss Psychology, my other 'passion' lesson. Learning about how the mind works helps me better understand and help people, myself especially.

    Truth again I suppose. I'm honestly too lazy to be dared. But will probably change it up when I feel bored, which is often quick.

    What was the exam on? Something French based...?

    I think i'd be quite good at oral (;D) because of how outspoken I am in lectures, thinking up ideas and interpretations more often than not on the spot. Shame we don't have that assessed, 10-15 essays in a six month period and exams and coursework.

    Oh come on, it's easy enough to bs a question like that. Meanwhile, trying to bs books you should've read on the course and using critical reactions to support or challenged your argument is a nigh impossible thing to do. Unless you've seen the film.

    Also, when it's your own assessment you don't have to be right as long as you justify the thoughts, which is a joy for a waffler like me.

    Wouldn't do it. The fantasy idea is just that, and even if fantasy became reality, I doubt i'd be able to happily live in it.
    I've dabbled and wasted time in self-indulgent spaces, so to plunge into an existence I know nothing about seems selfishly stupid.

    Depends on the game. In a lot of ways, boss battles in the traditional sense are kind of an old style of game designing these days. Not that I'm indicating waves of enemies or no bosses are better, but more that it seems very scripted and is pretty linear in a lot ways. They're not surprising, they appear at the end of a level and move on more than likely. inFamous is a lot like this, appearing to unlock a new power or zone or to end the game on.
    I think quality boss battles are ones that, like most aspects of video games, give you freedom to deal with. You know RPGs or Stealth games really experiment well with it. Mass Effect's second to last boss can be convinced to shoot himself, eliminating that battle altogether. Metal Gear Solid allows you to kill or knockout all bosses. One in MGS3 let's you kill a boss hours before the boss battle even occurs, or let that boss die of old age by saving and waiting a week.
    Dark/Demon Souls also has a variation of traditional boss concepts with some interesting ideas, even if some seem a bit clunky. However, it pretty much allows you to fight the enemies in whatever order you want, and that choice makes it kick the traditions away.

    I like the different ways to solve boss battles in interesting ways, because i'm so use to beating everything to a pulp. Trying to figure out other ways to defeat a boss, well it's just usually more memorable.

    Also, Second Son only had one boss battle in two stages if I recall at the end? Oh wait there are a couple more to get the new powers. I would say only the last boss is interesting, the first was pretty plain whilst the second reminded me of a Saints Row 3 boss. Nothing memorable.

    Does the series not have enough money?
    Ugh, Harry Potter has had enough films, we don't need anymore for about ten years.

    Well this or regular crap teen films aka Twilight, Divergent, (maybe) Hunger Games (first film was ok-ish, not seen second).

    Make her face more like Frozen's lead.

    At concept stage, I would've advised basically dressing up Frozen's lead in Zelda's clothes and maybe turned her hair brunette in colour.

    You know it's funny, the narrative is usually good in inFamous games, but I've basically forgotten them.
    Almost like a one night stands I liked at the time, but never left an impression on me and have to be reminded they exist.

    Also, the moral choices in the game were pretty meh.

    Well my father has been married a few time, and he lost them as such: Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced beheaded, survived.

    But no, i'm no descendant of Henry VIII as far as i'm aware.

    They're married, my mum threatens to kill him every week or so.
    I know many divorced parents. Easily more than five.

    Adventure is basically a journey, the most mundane things could be an adventure. Of course you've got your battling of dragons and rescuing maidens clichés, but an adventure could simply be trying to find yourself our of a woodland or park or going on a plane for the first time. Judges always appreciate original ideas and inventive ways on the limitations given

    500 words is... a tough limit. I find a thousand bad enough. Still adventure genre doesn't need major character development to be good.

    Good luck.
