I love NYC. It's dirty, dehumanizing and loud. But I've never had a bad time there. Pastrami Sandwiches, Tribeca douchebags, Crazy cab drivers, 9/11, Donald Trump, Woody Allen, Empire State building, Statue of Liberty, Ellis island, Batman (seriously), Broadway musicals. But mostly the...

I also asked this question to myself and here's my logic. I purchased a console that offered me the most entertainment right off the bat with the possibility of growth in the future, Xbox360 (Though my favourtie game genre is RPG and there are woefully few RPGs for this console, but this...

Tied between The Great Gatsby and Dubliners. Two depressing books but probably the best.

I love how CO2 is the "sexy" greenhouse gas and the rest never get mentioned. CO2 alone probably would not cause all our problems, it's everything: Nitrogen, Sulfur, etc. Furthermore, we should probably be looking at how we pollute our water more than how we pollute the air. But again...

I'm surprised that Dune didn't come up in your original list. Though I guess it's a tad inaccessible to those who don't want to read 6 dense tomes of symbolism and 8 franchise cheapening cash grabs. Dune has been my favorite for several reasons: First, it's what got me into Sci-fi. Second...

Everyone who says "no" is a lying liar and should be ashamed. Everyone has! From food, shoes, toothpaste, shampoo, medicine and toys, they advertise everything and it gets in your head. Especially for kids. Advertising works, no doubt about it.

Video games make bad movies because the film version lack what makes the games good: Player input. The stories of a game can be weak if the player experience is fun. A film is much more bound to the story. To answer the thread's topic,you're asking us if we would see an above average to...

Random and Cashmere. The phonemes are discordant, to me at least.

The best zombie game, bar-none, is the House of the Dead rail shooter in the arcade. It was a perfect amalgam of co-op play for those who had friends and barely any story so you weren't distracted from the shooty-shooty fun.

My main gripe with skate boarding games is the how they handle how the board "sticks" to your feet. Inevitably, I find myself in an empty pool or half pipe and suddenly I'm air-borne without a board. The board, you see, clipped into and is lodged in the no-space beneath the ramp. When I was...

Maybe I've grown up cynical, but I really think these IQ tests are a huge sham, just like the SATs. There are far too many variables with individuals and presentation. That being said, I've participated in 2 Stanford-Binet IQ tests while at university and having dug up my reports, I scored...

I'll admit it - I loved New Pencil Day when playing D&D.

"Thank you, Mario! But our Princess is in another castle!" -Toad from Super Mario Bros. Man that little bastard was a tease.

As an aside, I wish people would get the spelling of "straight" straight.

Mr Deeds Goes to Town with a dash of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
