    Brindle Blog Thread

    This is a blog about videogames. It written by John Brindle, who is a fictional character similar to me, and who will in time be joined by other fictional characters similar to other people. Some of you may have seen the link at the bottom of the CS:Go interview Glenn and I did and wondered...

    Chet on CS:GO, Part 2: "It's hard to accept change"

    [br] Sit down. Kick off your shoes. Pour a cup of tea. It's time for the second part of our mammoth interview with Chet Faliszek - so big that we caused major delays on the Circle Line when we tried to drag it home from the Eurogamer Expo. In last week's installment we grilled the Valve writer...

    Obama releases birth certificate

    Amazed there isn't a thread on this. Post your own relevant links and I will add them to the OP. The Grauniad's live (??) coverage. Analysis piece.

    Everyone owns Facebook except Mark Zuckerberg

    Hot on the heels of Ivy league clone-sporting stars The Winklevii and their tragic failure to grab any more than $65m from the man who robbed them of Harvard Connection, a convicted wood-chip felon named Paul Ceglia now claims he owns 50% or possibly 84% of what used to be called...

    US Government to SHUT DOWN

    Christmas Gift Philosophies

    So upon this grim and fateful day of torn wrapping strewn like rubble across the floor, what do you think the point of giving should be? Some people say the best thing to do is to buy people something you know they wanted. Historically, my brother and I buy each other something very safe...

    The man who writes your papers

    Ever seen those sites that offer custom essays for a price? One such writer tells his tale. http://chronicle.com/article/article-content/125329/ Now I'm sure none of you upstanding gents have ever used such a service. But would you? And would you consider doing this man's job?

    Tories plan forced labour for the jobless

    In totally bizarro news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-11706545 Very odd. Alexander denies that these new measures would amount to treating the unemployed like criminals, but when you get right down to it, it's the same thing, the same work, and the same kind of compulsion. It's...

    Another 400,000 juicy documents

    The Pentagon warned them not to do it - warned them lives were at stake - But Wikileaks went and did it anyway. Well, lookie here! Guess what they found? One particularly interesting tidbit is that a helicopter gunship, allegedly the same vehicle from the same unit that killed two Reuters...

    Windows 7 Customisation

    So I just finally got around to upgrading my vista system to Windows 7, figuring it would hopefully improve my games performance a little and anyway that I should get with the program. Problem is, I thought Vista was pretty much perfect interface-wise. I mean sure there was that whole...

    There's a Bear Outside

    Two people on our street reported that they saw a bear this morning. We have no guns and only a small (if boisterous) cat for protection, and at some point we are going to have to leave the front door to take the rubbish out. Please post bear-fighting strategies and/or general advice.

    Never Been Kissed

    So I need some help (I'll explain the title later). My HP laptop has been ****ing me around for a good while. I bought it in January last year and it did everything I wanted it to do, but by that September it had mysteriously degraded, and was no longer able to play Left 4 Dead. I tried...

    Engineering Dissent: The Rise of the Political Commentator

    So normally our student newspapers are total shite, but sometimes, just sometimes, there's something worth reading in them. I read this article when it was publishlate last year and never till now got the chance to type it up. But I thought it was worth doing - while it doesn't provide any...
