ITT: Younger people who haven't actually used online dating services. To be clear, online dating is not dating online. Being in a professional career (commercial real estate investment), my sources of potential dates are: The bars, Work, and random special events. Work would be fine...

There's some exotic strategy games like the ones mentions that probably require the most skill. The aggrandizement of the original SC completely understates how similar SC2 is in requirements. Also- Chess.

12@12 is ALARMINGLY high and 30@30 for the never married is pretty low.

So this post has been cited a bunch in this thread as if some sort of commonly held belief. But- It begs some questions. Is the poster married? If yes, are they divorced? If yes, did they remarry before the sex again? Yes? Plain and simple, any answers other than the ones I just lined out...

Shhhh. We need to keep the secrets... secret. I mean, if they don't know that everything people have been ranting about don't fit on a left to right continuum, they might, I don't know- Learn something. And educated, intelligent people are a threat to our authority!

To expound on this idea, the free market talked about is one without any laws or restrictions. A market that has $0 artificial cost to entry. The type of a market that's only possible in theory because people like the idea of governments saying, "No, don't make stuff that kills people. Or maims...

I have a question: When did the U.S. become a democracy? As far as I know, there has never been anything approaching a "true" democracy with universal suffrage for a group over 50,000 people ever. Ever. The U.S. has always been identified as a sort of representative democracy but...

To add to Malygris comment about missed interpretations- Why this is STILL an issue is beyond me, but what this bill does is criminalize what Rockstar did with GTA:SA vis a vis 'Hot Coffee'- that is including in the original code the sex mini-game. What this bill won't do is make it to...

Gentlemen. Need we forget that Fan was always a shortened version of Fanatic? That we've taken the word Fanatic, shorted it to Fan and then re-expanded to Fanboy doesn't really change it's meaning. Besides, Fanboy has always been derogatory slang. The OP question is something akin to...

Mass Effect. It was so boring it prompted me to sell all of my 360 games except CoD4 and Halo 3. I have since added GTA IV. Once the random trash became harder than the bosses, it was all downhill from there.

Why has no one mentioned Neverwinter Nights? Didn't it allow DMs to run games? Create encounters? Dungeons? Dragons? All that? I seem to recall that DMs could script out NPC encounters as well. And referring back to the doorknob polishing: /e polishes a doorknob (a command found in a...

The first game I played was Pong. Yeah buddy... The first game I owned was the nintendo with the triple game Mario Bros./Duck Hunt/Track and Field. The first game I beat was Final Fantasy (no bloody 2, 3 or 7.): I was 9. The second game I beat was The Legend of Zelda. The third game I...

I don't think it's fair to say angst is indicative of a JRPG. I mean, you are going to have angst in just about any sort of game involving drama and personal relationships. I mean, Mass Effect has angst. But angst in and of itself isn't especially unique to Japan. Look at all the US...

I liked EVE, I did. But ultimately, it just didn't ring my bell either. It's like a relationship that looks great on paper, but just lacks chemistry. Of course, this is coming from a guy who ate, slept and breathed WoW for like 3 years. I want to say that I hated the grind in EvE, but...

I think that there needs to be some differentiation in the usage of the term hardcore. I can remember being hardcore when I played FFVII for like 3 or 4 hours a day during the week in highschool. I can also remember grinding Warsong Gulch to get fucking Grand Marshal for 8-12 hours a day...
