    Things you like in video games others might find weird

    I like being able to roleplay, especially outside of the story. Most people only "roleplay" in the sense that they are just their normal selves with a gun or a sword. I like it when I can set up scenarios or just come across them naturally in the world, wherein I am capable of being a whole...

    Report: Windows 9 Being Prepped For April 2015 Launch

    Here's hoping they finally learn that touchscreens only go so far, and are NOT the future of computers. I think MS is trying to eventually herd us all into the virtual workspace, akin to Mass Effect's colourful screens that you flail your arms at, and nobody wants that. I want to move as little...

    Mass Effect 4: Sequel?

    It's entirely plausible the Reapers would manipulate Shepard's mind (which is what they're doing during the dream sequence, remember) to cause him to "fail" if he decided not to choose. The decision to succumb to the Reapers or deny them (the entire dream is not about saving the universe, but...

    Mass Effect 4: Sequel?

    Have you never seen an action hero before? Of course they rise back stronger than ever when they reach their lowest point! It's the classic underdog story told in EVERY GODDAMN HOLLYWOOD MOVIE EVER MADE. OT: I've always thought the IT was brilliant, and I can totally believe it was...

    My daughter is named Tali'Zorah. I suppose I'm crazy : )

    I knew a girl who had her first baby at seventeen (and is now nineteen and pregnant with another), and she named her baby Lyric. Because, you know, music and lyrics are so deep, and meaningful, and totally speak to her, and represent her and her daughter completely, and live, laugh, love, and...

    Self Harm and You

    20/male/asexual. I went through severe depression at one point that almost ended in suicide (though I was stopped and incarcerated just in the nick of time by nothing short of a miracle). I got better over the course of about a year, and the next year I cut my forearms just for the pain...

    Stuff you were sure would never catch on

    I guess I was surprised by the high quality of absolutely every aspect of the show. Most children's shows are designed with the idea that kids are stupid and they'll watch any old crap you put on the air. But I was thoroughly impressed with the writing, art style, voice acting, music, and, above...

    Poll: Poll: TLoU vs. Bioshock Infinite

    Other than the intro to "The Last of Us", I found the entire story boring, predictable, and not nearly as emotional as everyone said it was (the intro was obviously predictable, but not boring or emotionless). The ending was especially bad, but ya gotta lead up to them money-making sequels...

    Stuff you were sure would never catch on

    MLP. I thought it was some stupid thing the kids were into ironically, just to be different or something. In fact, I grew to despise the show because of it (and because ponies started showing up on all my favorite sites)! Well, we can all see how wrong I was just by looking at my avatar...

    Took it too seriously, fandom

    "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II" is my favorite game of all time. I won't go into why such a buggy mess managed to beat out about a thousand other games, but I lost my shit when Drew Karpyshyn - yes, the head writer for most of the Mass Effect series, which I loved, and a lot of other...

    Poll: Firefox vs. Chrome (and why?)

    I primarily use Firefox, but we use Chrome at my college. Chrome CAN be nice, but it refuses to load pages FAR too often for me to use it regularly. About eight out of ten YouTube videos I try to watch I'll end up having to refresh the page five or six times to get the video to play. Some Google...

    Criticisms your'e sick of seeing in a film/story

    "I didn't get the story, therefore I hate it!" I saw this a lot with Inception, Bioshock: Infinite, Fight Club, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, and many other favorites of mine. Frankly, I found the plots to all of those media smart, insightful and straightforward (which is...

    Poll: "Marriage" key in "Gay Marriage"?

    I have no problem with civil unions. The semantics was all I'm saying there's a problem with.

    Poll: "Marriage" key in "Gay Marriage"?

    "Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, 'This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man.' For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be...

    Poll: "Marriage" key in "Gay Marriage"?

    While I'm all for civil unions that grant the same legal benefits as marriage, the original definition of marriage is a "union between a man and a woman under God". That is the literal definition and, by default, two men could simply NOT be married in a church. I wouldn't say it's fair for a man...
