Born in Britain, raised by humans, taught the myriad secrets of the UK National Curriculum and elevated to the rank of Master of History. A punny guy. He/Him.
I've read and loved quite a lot of classical novels, including a few by Dumas - but never anything by Victor Hugo.

I think I might have to leave a "Fix that" note to myself, too...

I remember when a Playstation demo disc advertising a Red Alert mission actually had a mission from the original C&C ... being a sane and sensible individual, of course, I never. Ever. Forgave them.

And who could forget Snake's ecstatic monologue about the modified 1911 he receives in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater?

I went to vote, and my pencil went straight through the paper...

THIS FORM IS FRAGILE.

I still think the poor old Collector General's death is one of the saddest parts in the entire ME Trilogy.

It's such a good moment that it only just occurred to me now (15 years on!) that the General might be evil itself, like all the other uncontrolled Collectors, rather than an unwilling puppet.

...Dammit, now I want that scene in a pantomime.

Just have a Baneblade emerging and retreating behind cover like it's being hidden by Creed's TACTICAL GENIUS, with the other characters always being too slow to turn around and spot it.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who still thinks about this!

...Are you similarly obsessed with "It is the BANEBLADE!", too?

It is, yes!

And THAT'S ... the Mourn you know!

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only MOURN.

All of a sudden, I'm very disappointed in myself ... despite having a good-sized IG army back in the day, I never bought a Basilisk and daubed "I can shell your house from here!" on the front of it.

FPS games wouldn't either, right?

If I get shot a few times, my health will restore to maximum if I just hide for a couple of seconds, right?

Because ... ow ... it seems to be taking longer than I'd expected.
