What irritates me are lack of punctuation and use of the word "defiantly" in place of "definitely." How difficult is it to put an apostrophe in contractions? It's "I'm," not "Im." And then there are the misuses of "your," "there," and "too." "Your" is not the same as "you're." "There,"...

The three leads from GTA V. Say what you want about Niko from GTA IV, but at least he didn't whine or act like he was better than everyone else. Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. How can anyone stand a whiny, self-important, condescending asshat who thinks everyone exists solely to serve him?

Arrested Development. I know, it's everyone's favorite TV series, but I just couldn't get into it. Comedies are supposed to be funny, and I didn't laugh once. The same goes for Community. As far as games go, I'd say GTA V. I liked GTA IV, but V just didn't do anything for me.

My two favorites were in Skyrim. The infinite XP from multiple readings of the Oghma Infinium was helpful, especially when I needed to build up my Sneak and Magic skills. The other one was the Speech to 100 from talking to the bartender in the Black-Briar Meadery. Unfortunately, both glitches...

Excuse me while I whip this out. - Black Bart, Blazing Saddles What is best in life? To crush your enemies, to have them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women. - Conan the Barbarian

Oblivion. I really tried to like this game, but I just couldn't. It looked really good, it had great voice acting, but it just bored the hell out of me. And don't even get me started on my character's inability to so much as defend herself when she was carrying more than she could.

No, absolutely not. Without Paarthurnax, I wouldn't have mastered the Fire Breath Shout (by the time I get to him, I already know the first two words). Nor would I have learned anything about the Elder Scrolls. What did the Blades do for me? They opened Sky Haven Temple (with my blood), where I...

Not every superhero follows this rule. On at least three occasions, Captain America has killed someone. They were, in no particular order, the Red Skull (but he's feeling much better now), Baron Blood (true, he was a vampire, but a kill is a kill) and a terrorist whose name I can't remember from...

It depends on the game and the character's gender. In Mass Effect, my male Shepard is John, the default name. But my female Shepards are Layla (because I like the name), Alison (after my oldest niece), and Rebecca (which would have been my name if I'd been a girl). Dragon Age: I go with all...

I'm going with the Blackhawks, mainly because I'm a Rangers fan. But I suppose it could have been worse. We could be seeing a Penguins-Ducks finals, although then we could argue over whose logo looks worse.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the Vindicator Battle Rifle (found during the Recruit Archangel mission) in Mass Effect 2. It had a ridiculously low ammo capacity and could only fire a few shots before needing to be reloaded. To put it nicely, that was the worst excuse for an assault rifle I have...

You can't die with dignity. You can only live with it. - Dr. Gregory House It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. You take away everything he has, and everything he's ever gonna have. - Will Munny (Clint Eastwood's character in Unforgiven) I was born a poor black child. - Navin Johnson (Steve...

Aside from what everyone else has said, like the Simpsons, South Park and "reality" TV, I'd have to say Bones. I used to like this series when it was a crime drama. But then it devolved into equal parts soap opera and Toyota commercial. At least House had the decency to end after eight seasons...

How could anyone forget the Red Skull? This is the guy who killed Captain America, after all. Sure, Cap's feeling much better now, but the Skull still killed him. You could argue that Sharon Carter pulled the trigger, but all that happened because of the Red Skull. The Joker isn't man enough to...

I could see a team-up movie, or series of movies, but not a DC vs. Marvel movie. A Vs. movie could never happen because of egos. With the 1996 miniseries, DC wouldn't play along unless Superman and Batman won their battles. As if the Hulk could beat Superman. But Batman needed his owners' help...
