    "Amazing" Should be Banished From the English Language

    I can't stand people who fight the evolution of language. I definitely agree with Stephen Fry in the link the OP posted. Nouns becoming verbs, like "Friend", although it might grate on the ear a little, are exactly how our language evolves. If an English speaker from 1000 years ago fell through...

    So I've been meaning to get into Dr. Who...

    Best thing to do is start with the series reboot. Start with series 1, i.e. the Christopher Eccleston (9th Doctor) series.

    What restores your faith in humanity?

    Seeing people my age (early 20s, the core of "Generation Y"), asking for people to make charitable donations instead of giving them a birthday present; fighting against climate change; fighting against government beaurocracy. Overall just the general tendency for my generation to go against the...

    Poll: How many on the Escapist dislike anime?

    I don't dislike all anime, there are just certain aspects of it that annoy me. I like that there is anime targeted at a wide range of age groups, and I like that they're not afraid to touch subject matters that mainstream Western animation wouldn't go near, but some things that seem to be a...

    For those wondering why My Little Pony is so popular...

She's part of a small group, mainly based on Deviant Art who customise the old My Little Pony toys (I have another friend who has been doing this for about two years). So we watched a...

    Have you ever liked a game everyone else hated (or just said it sucked)?

    Everyone seems to agree that Assassin's Creed is bad. It seems to be just taken as a fact, rather than an opinion that it's a bad game, but I love Assassin's Creed II. I haven't played the 1st one, so maybe that's what all the fuss is about, but I don't get it.

    I LOVE your country.

    Finland is where Nightwish, CHildren of Bodom, Ensiferum and Finntroll are from. 'Nough said as far as I'm concerned, but from what I've seen it looks like a beautiful country, and I've heard that you're a very friendly people as well. I'd love to go there. I'm from Australia (been done...

    I LOVE your country.

    Great TV?!?! Do you live in some kind of bizarre alternate Australia? OK, actually if you're referring to ABC on a Wednesday night (i.e. Spicks and Specks and Gruen Tranasfer etc) then I understand.

    If you had to invade Hell which fictional army would you use?

    Grey Knights from Warhammer 40,000. It's LITERALLY what they're made for.
