    What is the most horrific way to die?

    I'm going to stick by my answer the last time this came around: GTA:SA, what you do to the foreman at the construction site in San Fierro. Rolled around in a portable toilet, which is dropped into a hole and covered with cement.

    The Accidental Lesbian

    Isn't sapphic an adjective? It's only a noun when referring to poetry of Sappho, poetess form the island of Lesbos c.600, i.e. a Sapphic verse: Sapphic (`sæfɪk) -- adj 1. prosody denoting a metre associated with Sappho, consisting generally of a trochaic pentameter line with a...

    Movies you love but everyone hates

    With you on that one. Rent is one of my top five favourite movies. I also liked Speed Racer, and Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse (granted the adjacent two were slightly better, but the forth, not quite so much...) I liked the Matrix sequels. Seriously, if Reloaded still makes no sense to you...

    Red Alert 2 Half Life GTA 3, VC Lemmings Paintball Worms world party Unreal Tournament GoTY edition, 2003 Battlefield 1942 Legend of Zelda OoT/MM and every now and then I boot up my DOS emulator: Xargon Major Stryker Although it no longer works on my computer (uses the cpu clock...

    Best quote from a game?

    Baldur's Gate? I remember this; had me in tears... "Are you a professional moron, or just a gifted amateur?" - CJ, GTA San Andreas NIOBE: I guess we all gotta die sometime. GHOST: All I've ever asked from this word is that when it's my time, let it be for something, not of something. -...

    What is a tactic/strategy in a video game that is you often use?

    Red Alert 2: way-pointing with Chrono-legionnaires. Whilst you could only go to one way-point, you could set-up multiple paths for multiple units. If you were clever enough, you could completely nullify every unit, or even completely shut down a bases power at once. Another strategy that I...

    Poll: Should the moon have a name?

    Which moon? Earth has three. Other than the satellite we call "Moon", we also have "Cruithne" and "2002AA29". Perhaps we should be figuring out a name for 2002AA29?

    Worst use of Deus Ex Machina you've ever seen

    No one has mentioned "War of the Worlds"? My favourite is technically a Chekhov's Gun: "Night's Dawn" the Naked God. However, considering it reduces an insanely intricate plot into a fairy-tale ending, and at no point is the actual extent of its power even hinted at, I would consider it Deus...

    Fan-Fiction

    The only one I've read (in recent times, mind you.), and it's still being written is Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. There are some things in that story that are beyond the most awesome things I've read anywhere else...

    WARNING! Philosophical Content!- What Does it Mean for Something to be Bad?

    I'm assuming here that you are really looking at the difference between morally wrong versus morally right. In particular, how this differs from Good and Evil. This is my interpretation, and it may be a simplification; I haven't thought about this for the last twelve years... Evil is just...

    Ways you don't want to die in.

    Old age. Also, how CJ kills the foreman of the construction site in GTA:SA. The more I think about it, the worse it seems...

    Games you regret to have bought ?

    GTAIV - my graphics card is just a bit too old. It runs everything else fine... I see other people regret playing it, but I would have liked to have got even that far. Sim City 4 - Each city zone feels too small, and the game completely lost the charm of sc3k. And instead of fixing the...

    Most Emotional Movie Scene

    Pretty much the entire second act of RENT; I posted a few of the songs in the sad songs thread the other day. Culminating in this:
