    Lets talk about: Obesity Acceptance

    In all honesty, though; isn't the definition of obesity "a condition in which body fat has accumulated to the point where it can induce negative health effects". So, by definition, obesity acceptance is telling people to accept negative health effects and be okay with it. I know I'm being...

    All-New TMNT Gets All-New Ninja Rap

    The rap is a bit mediocre, but I guess that's expected from commissioned lyrics. That being said, I love the beat. It's got Kill The Noise written all over it! Can we get an instrumental :)?

    Where Do You Work?

    I'm a Game Developer stroke Software Engineer creating interactive training simulations, which is weirdly specific. Besides that I teach game programming and game design. As a 'teacher' I hear you. It can be pretty depressing, though.

    Jimquisition: The Adblock Episode

    I really don't mind ads, just not on every second YouTube video I want to watch, which was my incentive to use AdBlock. Now, it just runs as an extension and I'm kind of used to it. If I remember that the software is running and I like the content I see, I white-list the site that serves that...

    Poll: who are you arguing with? Escapistatstics, part 1

    This, basically. Might be a slightly bigger city than that, but still. I'm currently studying Game Technology.

    Is it bad to be negative sometimes?

    I'm currently in the process of writing my dissertation. And everyone I've spoken to who's going through a promotion has had the feeling that they're frauds and wannabe's. Logic dictates that this is not true, just by sheer statistics, but still that feeling persists. I personally believe...

    Your Own Personal Worldview

    *claps*...That was beautiful. I've always tried to adhere to the philosophy of "Never lying to yourself". No matter what bullshit you spout unto others, don't try to justify it as anything less than a lie to yourself. I've probably never gotten around to a proper world view, because I really...

    Your Game Music is Bland and You Should Feel Bad

    Hear, hear! My personal favourite is "Build That Wall". Chills me to the bone every time I hear it.

    Questions you hate being asked

    Hell, don't get me started xD. I hate it all the more when a Dutchman says he's from Holland when he's not. That's just reinforcing the ignorance, stupid!

    Questions you hate being asked

    I'm with this guy! Seriously, tell someone you're Dutch and they just assume you're wearing clogs and getting stoned.

    Introduce Yourself! (or: Better Know Your Fellow Members)

    Good afternoon. I'm Nico, but to anyone that doesn't speak Dutch I introduce myself as Andrew (because they always mispronounce my name). As you can gather from the former sentence, I'm from The Netherlands. I'm currently a student doing a bachelors course in Information Technology, specializing...

    What does the world have against America?

    Cheers, mate. But even "Freedom of Speech" should be taken with a pinch of salt. If I'd run a campaign against Christianity I would get shot in the face before I could say "evolution".

    Poll: Which recent portrayal of "Sherlock" do you prefer?

    It's over dramatized in the movies, I´ll give you that. But in all fairness, Conan Doyle described Sherlock as a bare-knuckle fighter with training in some form of jiu-jitsu. Anyways. I still have to take a look at the BBC revamp. Seems like a good show. But from what I know, I´d have to go...
