    Any Bilingual Escapists here?

    Yes, yes it does. I guess the notice we sent you got lost in the mail. Welcome to the pantheon! On a more serious note: unfortunately it does not, seeing as seemingly everyone is converting to English. Don't know what's it like where you live (Slovenia I guess?), but in Croatia the younger...

    Any Bilingual Escapists here?

    I was raised bilingual: Dutch and Croatian. Along the way I also picked up English, French and German. Fluent in Dutch and English, adequate in the rest.

    Grrrr...

    I'm a very calm and far from aggressive person. Usually if I can avoid a fight, I will, but what gets me steaming is when men abuse women or generally when strong people pick on weaker people. Doesn't even have to be physically. Like at a festival when drunk pigs shout at women, usually in...

    Poll: Your body type?

    Endo/Meso. In that order. I've been fat during my teens (partly genetics, partly bad eating habbits and little to no exercise), but like the OP I've started working out and watching my diet. I've lost a lot of body fat in the past year and discovered I have pretty broad shoulders and didn't have...

    Color you wear most?

    Mostly black and green. Sometimes black and brown or purple. Always one black piece of clothing though (or at least very dark jeans).

    Poll: Is physical fighting pointless??

    I voted for depends. In my opinion, words are nothing more than hot air, so we get to choose how much weight we give to them ourselves. As such, I will never start a physical fight with some one just for calling me names. I do believe that when words do not help and somebody is threatening one...

    How did you lose your gaming virginity?

    Tintin and the Temple of the Sun, for the Gameboy (the original). I was 7 at the time, and got pretty much all next versions of the gameboy up to the Advance SP and a ton of games. My first PC gaming experience was Tomb Raider if I recall correctly, but back then it scared the shit out of me so...

    MW2 or Dragon Age

    I was in the store yesterday facing the same dilemma. Ended up choosing MW2 because practically my entire class and most of my gaming friends have got the game so I'm bound to enjoy at least the multi player. The single player's great too, though I'm not that far into it yet. Do what I did...

    Games that had multiplayer but shouldn't

    Doom 3. Definitely Doom 3. The multiplayer was just so boring and didn't have the single player atmosphere at all.

    Advice you would give your children

    - You define your own reality. If you don't like it, change it. - All life is sacred, treat it accordingly. - People are stupid. Do not expect too much of them. (The previous rule still applies, regardless of this one.) - The only one you can ever really trust and the only one you are ever...

    Your passion in life?

    Guitar, bass and singing, just music in general. Not gigs though. I mean I've done one real stage-type gig and played in front of people numerous times but I can't say I get a kick out of it. The attention or the potential money to be made don't thrill me at all. I just love music for music...

    The Deep Dark Truth About Life...

    I'm gonna quote another Robin Hobb-character (I'm obviously a big fan), the wolf Nighteyes: "Death is always at the edge of now. Death stalks us, and he is ever sure of his kill. It is not a thing to dwell on, but it is something we all know, in our guts and bones. All save humans." And...

    Poll: Poll: Moments in games or game related that made you wanna kill someone

    Whenever I decide to pick up an FPS multiplayer (especially BF2 back in the days), start the game, sit through the incredibly long loading times (again, BF2) and then spawn in the game just to be shot before I can take five steps. Definitely got the most rage during this one map in BF2...

    Poll: When did you first get into Pokemon?

    I remember seeing the trailers for Pokemon on the TV (watching TV was about the only thing I did back then) and thinking "oh God, not another one of those Chinese thingies!" (I was not a fan of "chinese thingies" at the time). Then I saw the first episode and I was instantly hooked on it (as was...

    MMOs ruin your gaming skill.

    Hmm, so that is why I suck at FPS.
