R.I.P. Lydia, you died fighting a group of mysterious enemies in Winterhold. Don't fret, your body was used by one of the wizards as a puppet, so you are now a pile of ash and no one can leave your almost-naked body out in the open. I know that's what you would have wanted. <3

This is why I think that SC2 can be the real catalyst eSports needs in the USA. Constant patches to make the game more even, already intense competition from all over the world, tournaments almost every week with tens of thousands to millions of viewers... The game has been out for over a year...

No, SC2 hasn't hit as big yet, but there's still a heck of a lot of interest, and the tournaments (GSL) are getting bigger and bigger every month.

What has to happen for eSports to really make a mark in the mainstream, especially in the USA where it's still just a niche audience even if it is millions of people? MLG is blowing up more and more every year, but at the same time the sponsorship funding for the WCG is so low that they had to...

We have to remember that this is basically a youth league, and just like every youth league (including Little League Baseball) there are rules that help the game be fun for everyone who plays. Scoring caps for innings/quarters/periods/halves (depending on the sport), inclusion rules where every...

In current English slang, a guy can be called a "dog" and have it be a good thing (see: people who recently had sex, being congratulated by friends [immediate example, Big Bang Theory Season 4, Disc 3, "The Herb Garden Germination"]). Just sayin'.

In tua matre sum. Edit: *matre, not matri

Canis means a dog without gender - you'd have to add a feminine adjective first - may I suggest fatua (it means foolish). Also, "Ego est et tu mater" literally translates to "Your mother is me" and the 'et' means nothing. If you wanted to say something like "Your mom belongs to me" you...

I've been studying Latin for 6 years now, and my own personal reason for picking it was etymology; essentially, I love language and I was so intrigued to find out where a generous portion of the English alphabet comes from. It's also fun to walk around my college campus and read the Latin...

Characters aren't made in fighting and in death, characters are made in all of their actions and inactions throughout their lives. Getting eaten by a dinosaur is as much character development as starting high school - or dropping out of it. For example, the character development that made...

The quality of most fanfiction doesn't change its relation to the original work, though, so my point still stands.

If you want to compare video games to books, then mods are the fanfictions of books.

One word: Toonami. There was nothing I wanted more than to get home as soon as possible after school so I could sit on my butt and watch Cartoon Network until my parents yelled at me.

I'm a proponent of spreading out the courses you have to take with the ones you want to take. I'm going to college to get two degrees (Latin and Education, presumably for a career path that incorporates both) but I've taken courses in everything from Sociology to Astrophysics to Graphic Design...

Last year I read about 100 books (not including manga - I was hooked on Air Gear and Elemental Gelade and Suikoden III), so I guess that puts me at two a week.
