The following is an actual question given on a University chemistry final exam. The answer by one student was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues via the Internet, which is why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well. Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law that...

WatchTSA: Left 4 Dead 2 Launch Event Video
First Level: Assassin’s Creed II
Despite all its flaws, there was something about Altaïr’s original adventure that just gripped me so thrillingly. It wasn’t until people pointed out certain issues with Ubisoft Montreal’s game that they even became apparent, such was my enjoyment of traversing Acre they were just non-existent. Now, whether releases this year have soured my views of what combines to make a quality title, with the...
PlayStation Video Store: A Tale Of One Wednesday
A neon arrow, a zebra carpet, a forthcoming coaster, this is no ordinary building. Yesterday was the PlayStation Video Store launch party in glitzy Soho. Having travelled for an ardeous couple of hours via a national service that seems to bring out the aggressive, antsy and grumpy nature in even the best of citizens into the capital, I met up with overlord Alex. After a brief difficulty in...

Review: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Stumbling forward, the peripherals of my vision starting to blur, panic began to run through my bones. They were gone, all gone. Every single one of them. So quickly, so young. I thought I could have saved at least a solitary soul. With sweat dripping down my forehead, my skin pale, my appearance dishevelled, I pushed towards base. Arriving on location, I spotted a rookie and asked about the...

Smaller Wii Expected
“Shigeru Miyamoto has said he is content for Nintendo consoles of the future to behave like the Wii. The main design-push will go into making consoles smaller and even more profitable.”
So basically it’s going to be a DS? As if the Wii wasn’t already profitable enough.
Piracy Argument Fail
During the discussion of piracy on TSA, someone actually said this:
“It’s funny, as a part of growing up into fine upstanding human beings we’re tought to share. If I have a giant cake the nicest thing I can do is to share it with people that love cake, and for that act of kindness I’m called a saint.
If I share cake I’m a saint, but if I share music, videos or games I’m a crook.”

Recently we learnt that we have a user on TSA who is deaf and therefore unforunately is unable to listen to our podcast. With a quick search in Google, I found some software for converting audio into text; I don’t think it worked too well. This was the output:

Nathan Drake, you enjoy your spot at the top, you could be there for a while as the bar has well and truly been raised. I was expecting greatness but this blew me away. As a game it is sublime; with unrivalled set pieces, incredibly impressive technical achievements and with well balanced and solid gameplay at its heart, this is a must own title for any gamer. As a story-telling medium, it betters...
