    What's Your Desktop Background?

    Lock and login screen are Baroness' Yellow and Green cover art, desktop background folder keeps expanding. currently over thirty. I'm looking at Gandalf and the Balrog right now, got plenty more LOTR stuff in there. Other images are nature/trees and shit, some landscapes from my home state, a...

    What game made the biggest impression on you as a child?

    I spent a lot of time (and still do) in Warcraft, AoE2, and Heroes 3 which definitely set the foundation for me being a gamer. But the biggest single impact had to be Morrowind; I got completely fucking lost in that game and still get pangs when I hear that title music or see the mist receding...

    Games where Shotguns are useful beyond arms' reach?

    Insurgency. Insurgency insurgency. Buckshot has a really refreshing effective range and slugs are brutal and quite accurate out to mid range. I've used shotguns to replace assault rifles that way. Even without slugs the shotguns rival SMG's, except there really is zero long-range effectiveness...

    Automatic or Manual?

    Manual. I drove an automatic for the first year I had my license and when I switched to a car with a stick & clutch I felt my driving improved massively. Made me pay MUCH more attention to the act of driving. Now it's too fun for me to give up. Also the brake feel in automatics gives me an...

    Recommend a good Team Fortress 2 server?

    Hey all, TL;DR Looking for a good vanilla rotation. Long story long, I'm looking for some TF2 players to recommend me a server to play on. I used to be all over the Trashed Gamers servers and those were perfect. Active, vanilla, and a quick rotation of all game modes on the old-school...

    Most frightening horror game you've ever played?

    SCP Containment Breach is bowel loosening. Having other people in the room never changed anything, it just made 3 people terrified instead of one. It's brutal, old school simplicity with no visibility, quick deaths, and a really scary commitment to an atmosphere of everything, including the...

    If you could live in any game world...

    Elder Scrolls probably. Not a lot of health problems if you have the money for a potion. Just after TES 3? no blight, plenty of houses available after the Nerevarine has gone through and accidentally killed some commoners. Political situation is unstable as all heck, but no one ever seems...

    Hair colours that you are inexplicably attracted to. =^_^=

    I can never decide between natural blonde and natural red. Strawberry blonde (it follows) is probably the best thing on this earth.

    Poll: Aesthetics vs function

    For me it has to be function. I see the Nissan GTR and yes, it doesn't look like sex buuuuut it's so fast and so well priced, its function poops all over its looks.

    Recommend good Rap/Hip-Hop songs/groups

    Hieroglyphics have always been good to me. Don't know how to embed stuff but they're all over youtube

    Mildly disappointed by the Kickstarter phenomenon.

    It's like current writers' easy access to self-publishing with the advent of ebooks. People who shouldn't be published because they're not good at writing can suddenly do it (see 50 Shades of Gray). Editors exist for a reason. SAme problem with video games; without someone telling them to do it...

    Weapon degradation in games

    I never minded it in Morrowind; for some reason I thought it worked well. It created an organic cycle. One could raid some caves, and then need to head back to town both to sell the heavy, expensive loot and repair one's weapons with some of that same money. Somehow, like many things, Oblivion...
