From my understanding on TB's vid its a bigger issue on PC because of how close you sit to the screen. On a console the distance is greater so the effect is lessened. Console ability to change it is less frequent, but does exist on the bigger games, particularly those available on PC

Playing Saints Row III as recommended by Gotthammer, gosh it's fun. Thins I've learnt about myself:
I should never drive a car
I should never drive a motorcycle.
I should never drive a helicopter
Need someone to dangle from a helicopter with an RPG blowing stuff up and I'm your girl.
I should absolutely pilot VTOLs
I am just as dangerous naked as fully clothed.
I am extremely good at shooting men in the genitals (I already knew this)

Unfortunately the judge had his hands tied when sentencing Hall, he could only give him a sentence in line with precedent when the crimes were committed. Terrible I know. What I have read in regards with the sentence the Judge actually handed out a comparatively high sentence. Had he been in court and sentenced back when he committed the crimes he could have gotten off with a slap on the wrist.
So basically the law in this regards needs to change.

So I took the family, including the in-laws who are over from BC down to deepest darkest Cornwall, to the Eden Project. http://www.edenproject.com/
Had a nice day and the weather whilst not perfect it did stay dry. For those that have not heard about this attraction, it's basically a converted disused quarry. It has been landscaped and two huge Biomes (Bio domes to you and me) are the main feature. One had a rain forest environment and the other is Med based, Spainish mainly in influence but with a touch of Greece and Italy too.
The whole attraction is geared towards educating the masses about the environments and mans impact on them. Whilst not being over preachy. I have been before but I thought as were heading into the summer holidays some of you maybe venturing down to the southwest of England and I would share. Anyway it's worth a visit and is really a whole day out. We arrived at 10.30am and left about 4pm. We could have stayed longer but the nippers attention span was waining.
Anyway here's some pics.

He's a rapper. Was he the guy who was a massive dick at a big awards ceremony? With Taylor Swift? I guess it shows that I don't even care enough to even google it.
Also, she can actually Jerk more than I can (by a small margin)...

Exactly.
So, I may not have fed my obsession yet, but I had an awesome convo with Mark Meer and Malukah, not together of course. Now, if I can get Hayley to talk... :D

Mark Meer is ftw. I'd get twitter just to try and talk to Ali Hillis but if she actually responded to me I'd have a complete fangirl meltdown and no one wants to see that.

Hahahahaha! It's a good tool. I've had retweets from Rise Against, Dodger, Fun, and some others, no direct replies though. To be fair, they're probably busy people.
