    Changing my name (Yes I'm serious)

    I'd say Seifer Almasy (yes, spelt normally; I simply like how that spelling looks on paper). I'd actually consider changing my name to it...y'know. If I could be arsed to change it at all. With that said, it's fairly normal, actually, and so is genuinely useable. That's my vote. Unless you're...

    Your skill level compared to your friends

    I'm absolutely atrocious at FPS, but for some reason find myself only in the middle of the pack where my friends are concerned. That said, those who are good in our group(s), are good. Most other genres get looked over. We tend towards RPGs, and it's a bit hard to compare properly in them. The...

    Brushes with Death

    Apparently three, though I was too young to remember any of them, now. I'm told that I was clinically dead for 30 seconds when I was born (so...stillborn? I guess?), that I got another 20 or so seconds out of attempting to eat a whole pear out of the fridge just after turning 1, and about...

    The Five games that define you as a gamer

    Alrighty...let's give this one a shot. In no particular order: Pokemon Gold - The best Pokemon game of all time. Alright, fine, the remake, Pokemon Heart Gold, is better. That said, Gold was truly a sequel to Red, and the assortment of Pokemon you *could* get was pretty boss. Fighting Red was...

    Am I the only one...

    When I read the phrase 'meta shit,' I immediately thought of someone making their character go take a shit...because they were. I believe that it's simply because you've found a target who has presented themselves so very well.

    To Marry an Escapist

    Clever. Even having pulled the same gag twice within 4 posts, I'm sure a great many fell victim. Being a cynic, and a relative unknown on the Escapist, I saw through it...and also failed to come up with a list of my own. I did, however, find the thread to be rather amusing in my sleep-deprived...

    Want to learn how to suspend water without a cup?

    Fake. Water holds it's shape, but not as well as that. Cool camera trick, and yes I want to learn it...but it's not possible as described.

    Poll: STARE at this.

    Thumbs up...just don't blink, or you'll miss it.

    Is it that hard to find a virgin?

    The problem isn't that you had wanted merely a virgin, or someone who didn't smoke, or someone who had never gotten intoxicated...it's that you wanted all three. I knew a few virgins in high school (not so sure now), I knew a few (okay, plenty of) people who didn't smoke, and I knew a few people...

    Poll: Woman guts horse, takes pictures in it's carcass

    Nope. Nothing wrong at all, though putting those pictures on the internet was an odd move. I mean, surely they had to have guessed it would offend someone with internet access...

    Poll: Is there a "Right Way" to play D&D

    See, the thing is that D&D is a game. A passtime designed to amuse. If it's not amusing, you're doing it wrong. That's the only real way to tell. With that said, zero-combat rps are better served through other mediums. D&D is pretty much geared to combat, and even my latest "non-combattant" was...

    Smart-A$$ to authority

    I would've asked if people had been evacuated from their homes; if not, I'd have simply attempted to return to mine. Honestly, the only cops I've run into are huge douches. Cop was parked in my parking space when I got home. I got out of the car, gave the officer a nod, then headed for the...

    Card game players, what kind of deck do you use?

    I also sometimes use a 24-card deck of nine to ace in four different suits. Pokemon...I no longer play, but I still have my cards, and sitting in there is a psychic deck wherein I can draw myself to death in 4 turns nearly every game. I can find and use practically any pokemon in it very...

    Nintendo Adds More Confusion to the Zelda Timeline

    ...there is. Ever played Pokemon Gold? It's set a few years later than the originals. How about Ruby? Ash is described briefly (which got me to assume it was later, but he's never referred to by name, so it might have been someone else, I suppose). I can't speak to either of the two newer...

    "Shut up because I'm a soldier!"

    I have to agree. I posted a comment on Facebook recently as a reply to someone who brought up his military experience in a discussion about Warhammer. He then proceeded to talk about the politics, and the atmosphere, and people lined up to agree with him. While that doesn't sound too unusual...
