I started with Excession - possibly one of the most complex and obscure Culture novels (and sexy as I recall) - and it blew my tiny mind.
I've realised that, for me, the Culture's high-tech libertarian socialist (anarchist?) utopia stands as a bulwark against the miserable prevailing pessimistic materialist capitalism that we live in....
Iain Banks has terminal cancer.

I'm actually quite teary about this. Iain created my absolute favourite...
I read the first two entries and found them very entertaining. Thanks.
But now my eyes bleed from internet/Tomb Raider overload and I must away to bed.
I'm afraid that's not the case. I drafted a longish post on The Walking Dead that never saw the light of day. No explanation where it went, or whether it was actually modded out for some reason. I'd...
Jams (or any other mod) - my thread hasn't appeared. Do you know why? Thanks.
Thanks Davkaus.
Mods or Hivemind - any comment on the main issue, please?
Jams - Do you know where it has gone, then? It hasn't actually made it onto the PC Gaming Discussion forum. Thanks.
Where the hell have my line breaks gone? [Chrome]
Hi,I've had a new thread 'swallowed' by auto-moderation in the PC Gaming Discussion forum. I have no idea when (if?) it will emerge from the moderation process.I'm a subscriber of three years or so,...
I'm going to cross post this issue under a different title.
Hi - Apologies for thread jacking but it is relevant - I have also had this message, but in the PC Gaming Discussion. I'm a long-term subscriber without any record of 'naughty' behaviour. Please can...
I'm umming and ahhing over buying The Walking Dead in the fag-end of the Steam Sale. I understand that it's more of a story than a game, and I've no problem with that. The only thing that's staying...
This is very generous reading of the game.Helio's Amazons were brutal, yet informative - an unusual brew: They mercilessly slapped my fey, naive elfmen around, while telling them exactly why they...
Hi 20phoenix - I'm around to play our match for Division K tonight, if it's convenient.Edgar
I thought I'd (metaphorically) stick my head round the door and announce that I have applied and been accepted into Division K. There doesn't seem to be anyone else registered currently in that...
Nice one.I may be being an idiot, but I can't find League K to apply to in the League Finder application - I can see all the others. Maybe it has been deactivated or something?Edgar[EDIT - Turns out...
Hello chaps. After a 2 year hiatus I've re-registered for the league with 'Mr P's Wafer Thin Mints'. Looking forward to playing with 7 half-dead High-Elves.
Thank you all. Budget restraints mean I'm stuck with the old Samsung 1680x1050.
Hello chaps,Sometimes in the tech world there's ONE thing that everyone agrees is the best thing to get at a particular price. I've got about £150 to buy a 1920 x 1080 monitor. Anyone got an idea?...
Great, thanks.
Whither Ian Manager? Come on Alec. I very much enjoyed the first two. Are you burnt out already? Is it that alien and repellent?
Anyone got a good word to say about Silent Hill: Homecoming? Or best avoided?
Just played a side quest through - 'walking nightmare'- and it was truly dreadful. The exposition was so garbled it was hard to know what was going on. Then, right at the denouement, the quest...
My problem with the intro wasn't so much the story, but with the fact that it displayed the game's faults immediately - a horse sliding around like it was on rails, some crappy voice acting - even...
