    Prediction: Bioshock Infinite will be controversial for the game's internal politics.

    Well geez. If you have proof that the pope's a Nazi, I'll be laughing right next to you =D

    Prediction: Bioshock Infinite will be controversial for the game's internal politics.

    Hmm... not quite. As of this post, 2K states at http://www.2kgames.com/#/games/bioshock-infinite "Former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt has been sent to rescue Elizabeth..." Notice the "former"? Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger) was formerly a member of the Hitler Youth... Do you suppose that...

    Prediction: Bioshock Infinite will be controversial for the game's internal politics.

    The protagonist is apparently a -former(/disgraced)- Pinkerton agent (precursor to the FBI, fascinating bunch, really: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkerton_National_Detective_Agency) so I'm not sure boycotting it on anti-Pinkerton principle is valid yet... That being said, I want to touch...

    The first "good" old PC games you remember playing.

    Kings Quest! The whole series, but particularly 4. Also The Incredible Machine. I got TIM2 on CD and realized that the audio tracks would play in my discman. I rode the school bus for weeks listening to the music from TIM2 until it got stolen. Years later I would pay an obscene amount...

    Most Disappointing Unlock

    The Naughticorn outfit in Naughty Bear requires 100 Million Points (I stopped after 25 M) and has pretty lousy specs. Its only advantage is speed! If I were to go for it, it would take days of repetitive grinding, and that is -not- what platformers are supposed to be about...

    Your name has now been changed to your username

    I like my online name, but I'm not sure I'd respond to it IRL. Also, it's a little lengthy, so it would need a nickname, preferably monosyllabic.

    Poll: Would you date an asexual person?

    I have an open marriage, and great sex. I would definitely be interested in a romantic relationship with an interesting person, even if sex isn't on the table. Once you realize that sex is not the only thing that makes a relationship work, it becomes more about making connections with people...

    80s babies, do you feel old around 90s babies?

    I was born in mid-82. The biggest difference between my first 8 years of life and the decade before and after seems to be that the best tv-show are from the 80s (MacGuyver, Magnum P.I., Chip and Dale, the Cosby Show...), while having the worst fashion decisions (leg-warmers, hair, jackets...

    Should a good partner know their girlfriend's menstrual cycle?

    It is absolutely a part of any committed relationship. I know my wife's schedule; I even know the schedule for one of our friends. I wouldn't say it affects my overall behavior, though it helps to know when she/they might need a little extra sensitivity or less selfishness. I never thought...

    Poll: How many languages can you fluently speak?

    English and French fluently, can get by in Spanish, and I can make myself understood in American Sign Language, though you have to sign really slowly and spell some things for me to understand you.

    Critical Miss: Telegraphing

    It was hit earlier, but I actually decoded it before I read the comments. (Yay me. God, I'm bored). It says "Cory Rydell and Grey Carter will bury their burdens in blood / www.escapistmagazine.com"
