I wonder if this made a difference, quarts prices went up on Saturday, 19th March 2011, by about 7 bucks.

Re: Razzies ridicule Hollywood’s worst

@Ssfunforlife: Hey, I like Jackson Rathbone as much as the next person - the award was given by the judges for the Razzies, not the author of this article. The writer only reported what award he was given. She didn't mention any personal opinion of him. I think there are worse things in the world to be offended about than a silly award given in jest by a bunch of good-humoured Hollywood big-wigs. I bet Rathbone had a giggle about it too. If not, I find his lack of a sense of humour offensive!

I am very offended at your opinion of Jackson Rathbone. He is by far the best actor in Twilight. No one can be more boring than Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Jasper is AWESOME! The writers did not give him ample lines to shine. Jackson played the part of Sokka exactly how thw writer wrote it. If they had let him act more like Sokka in the cartoon version, He would have been fabulous. I love Jackson. Leave him alone.

Thanks for the feedback. When I click the "2011 17 March Edition 3" link, however, it takes me to the right pdf. That is our latest. Have you tried refreshing your cache?

SRC are figureheads who do nothing, and exist only so that they can put their position on their CV's and so the university can claim that the student body is represented. The lack of awareness that this forum was even held and lack of feedback from it is proof of this.

Re: Pole-dancing: empowering women?

A really poor researched and written article. Totally misrepresenting what the classes are and not even interviewing the main source. How about some journalistic ethics?

If you cant do a proper interview then you should not be printing it in a public forum where you might tarnish someones reputation. How about actually contacting the person who started the class and who actually teaches it.

If you had done the proper research you would not be representing it as a stripper class but as what it is, being pole dancing classes. I want to draw your attention to the fact that pole dancing classes has actually become an established form of exercise since it is fun, great exercise and also teaches a skill. I didnt even research the topic and I know that.

Instead of spewing a bunch of garbage so obviously misinformed by your own bias and prejudice try taking your head out of ........ and do some proper research like any self respecting journalist would.

There is much to be learned from this conference and its good that young designers have the chance to view it too. They will surely learn something that they can apply to their art so they can improve it. Tickets already sold out? Wow! I guess I would have to settle for the simulcast then.

Thank you for your comment ANommyMouse. The writer only used an example of one game to explain her point. But, your comment is very interesting and we take it to heart.

Correction: GameSoc isn't only about dungeons and dragons. They also host LAN parties, have weekly board games nights (such as 30 seconds and Jenga), card games and so on. It's just a matter of attending the one that you're interested in - there's something on almost every single day.

For possibly the most delayed response ever recorded... I do review Video Games as it stands. I have my own thread on xFire but have not been asked to write again for Oppi (although I would love to).

Video games are a life long obsession for me, it's funny you should mention them
