Re: Windows 8 u-turn
Eh, this has been available for months now hasn't it? It has been for me at least, not that I use it. You don't have to use the button you can now boot straight into it.

Re: Fictional character resurrections that ruined the story
Not just my opinion....now they are making film sequels all the books are now non cannon! :lol: The books were never really canon. The only canon worth talking about is G-canon and T-canon. G is the films as made by Lucas himself and T-canon is (just) two TV series as made by Lucasarts; Star Wars: ...

Re: Best Sci-Fi Novels
cant remember if I have posted on this thread or not and cant be bothered to check tbh, but the greatest work of imagination pretty much of all time IMO is Starmaker by Olaf Stapledon. I do recommend it if you haven't already read it.

Re: New GTA V trailers
It is safe to say I'm enjoying GTA:V
Having said that, so far at least, it is very similar to GTA:SA...
..and, so far at least, I enjoyed The Last Of Us more.
