    Reading Children Books.

    No of course it isn't an odd thing, some people may think it is. Hell a lot of people seem to forget that The Hobbit is a children's novel which Tolkien wrote to be a "Bedtime tale"

    Movie scenes you find personally offensive or irritating.

    The ten minute one shot rape scene in Irreversible by Gaspar Noé. Although I don't find it particularly offensive or irritating it is quite hard to watch. For actual offensive or irritating...Every Michael Bay film.

    Short Manga Recommendations

    No Longer Human - 3 Books, it's a fantastic set of books, it's based on a novel under the same name written by Osamu Dazai probably one of the most depressing things I've ever read, it makes it worse that it's technically an autobiography. The manga is written by Usamaru Furuya. He also wrote a...

    Most Depressing Cinema/Music/Etc?

    Trent himself said that after hearing the cover it was no longer his, it was Johnny's song and he was incredibly honored that he wanted to cover it. A few of the most depressing films would include Kotoko directed by Shinya Tsukamoto http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILChkxK-w70 Symapthy For...

    Science fiction books?

    Most works of Kurt Vonnegut would be good, there's a lot of good suggestions by other users, Starmaker by Olaf Stapledon is quite good as are most of his works.

    Are there song covers you prefer to the originals?

    I fully agree, I was just about to post it myself, Lemmy's voice is just much more suited for the song. Along with Motorhead's cover of Ozzy's Hellraiser, I love them both but again, Lemmy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibaZsVlkuQg Turisas' cover of Rasputin is just awesome, I don't really...

    Poll: Halo or Half-Life?

    Personally, Half-Life for me, I find the campaign for Halo quite boring, I like the story behind it, I have read one of the books I just feel like 1 & 2 haven't dated very well. I rather enjoyed the campaign for 3 and I am yet to play 4 but overall I find Half-Life 1 & 2 much more enjoyable than...

    Games That Look Incredibly Dull To Play

    Democracy 3, that looks incredibly boring, along with most world building simulators but usually when you play them yourself they are pretty addictive. I recently got Civ 5 thinking it would be boring as hell and before I knew it 13 hours had passed. I was pretty surprised how addicted I got.
