    All Hallows Eve

    I'm glad you asked. There may indeed be an event at the local I plan on going to if there's naught else happening. There's also some idiot who happens to sell himself as a demonologist - which you need a degree for - & a buddhist, who fights off enemy stands/demons in people's dreams, who I've...

    Can we talk about what we love of games, instead of what we hate about them now?

    Sorry I've been away for a few days, I had tasks to deal with IRL and a few skills to level up in Skyrim,& a few musings about the relationship between Talos, Lorkhan & that tentacled book hoarder Hermaeus Mora.(Yeah, lore really gets me going) I apologise that I myself am not too active a...

    Can we talk about what we love of games, instead of what we hate about them now?

    Ever lose to a Princess Peach in Smash Bros, when you're really not all that bad with the game? Ever get absolutely stomped & outplayed by someone controlling a very dainty & generally feminine character, whose Side-B is smashing you to the side with her butt, that culminates in a pink...

    Poll: Is it rude to tell people "please don't talk to me"?

    The obvious answer in this age of Pathological Altruism, where concern for other people is an obvious agent of such a mindset? Hell to the yes! Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily. At most points, it can be said on people who you actually can't stand. At other intervals, it'd be something...

    What Would The Reaction To A Female Bond (007, that is) Be?

    If that's a legit question, let us have a look at why it is commonly believed as such, or at least muse why it's now a thing to turn every classic male character female. Such as what Marvel did with Thor. Because that wasn't reminiscent of pandering to a social ideology. at. all. You want a...

    Signs you were told meant you had "the gay".

    Your hand anecdote reminds me of another example, although this was a lot less hostile & more in jest. Still is today. You checked to see if there was anything on the heel of your shoe in my case. If you flipped up your heel, & checked the back of it by turning your head around to see it as it...

    Signs you were told meant you had "the gay".

    Possessing a vocabulary & preferring to use it was one 'proof of being gay' I got thrown at me an awful lot. Being surrounded by mongoloids all but willing to throw themselves into addiction issues & pregnancy cases in their 20s didn't help. That, & liking to read books. Another one...

    Joss Whedon deletes twitter account following mass of feminist criticism

    I think everyone's really jumping the gun on this goddamn matter. Btw, the link in the 1st post has been taken down & leads to nowhere, I hope someone screencapped what it's supposed to link to. What I think about this matter is that she spoke of her conditioning, which is in & of itself...

    Ammunition

    I was under the distinct impression that it was baiting satire to outline the utter madness an ideology based around a gender really is. Then again, language should be a funny matter, or an implicit one. Just look at Japanese. They can pull off both, depending on how you phrase it & say it...

    Poll: Would you change your gender?

    I'd do the temporary switch to female so that I could go up & stand by a bar for a bit until a lad tries their luck. Then I'd start quoting the Dremora Lord from Skyrim & I wouldn't stop. "I SMELL WEAKNESS!"

    Sexuality and Perception of Sex in Japan vs. America

    It's always phrased as 'Vs.' yet I feel that sets a loaded precedent. 'Application' is more fitting a term. How a nation or a culture conducts its attitude towards sex & what they consider sexy in some form comes down to many factors, the more esoteric of which happens to be cultural or...

    What happened to the Escapist?

    You know why I liked There Will Be Brawl? The heroes were hashed out, the world was full of noir & the grit from a past suffering no one should experience, & innocence was sparse when confronted with what dark pits of the human condition existed, that some individuals could come to represent...

    Move Over DreamWorks, Ghost in the Shell Animated Film On the Way

    I don't think you get it at all, Zontar. A redux is not needed, as the original productions have not diminished over time. It is down to taste depending on which ones you find to be better than the others, sure, but it's hugely unnecessary to drag such a classic series with some peerless...

    Move Over DreamWorks, Ghost in the Shell Animated Film On the Way

    Really Zontar? So you're going to be complicit in the same practice of Michael Bay films over the past while that's cashing in on another aspect of geek culture, just applied by a different production studio, which is what I actually take offence towards? I don't think I could defend the...

    Move Over DreamWorks, Ghost in the Shell Animated Film On the Way

    That can be easily explained, & I'm glad that it's this particular work that we're talking about, because if you're talking about adaptation & Ghost in the Shell, let me tell you now, a manga may indeed be 1st & foremost the medium, but that's because it necessitates the funding for an...
