    Done thread- no more comments please.

    First of all, communication. It's the make or break of any relationship - hell, it's what ended the relationship I had with my ex, and even then it was only based on her not loving me anymore. What you need to brace yourself for is a long and potentially very emotionally excruciating talk...

    'Slut' Parade

    So, uh, you're kidding me, right? See, I don't think they'd rather protest than avoid being raped, but the thing is, if guys sleep with lots of people (and, hell, it's EXPECTED of them), they're studs, manly and so on and so forth. If women sleep with lots of people, they're sluts. See how...

    Your final battle song!

    Let's see here... If I'm fighting a battle where I'm just, well, BOUND to die, I'm gonna go out with this. Especially with THAT outro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHPUxcnS7b4 If the battle I'm fighting will claim my friends' lives, while I'll remain standing when the battle is over...

    Request: help me with my linguistic essay!

    Thanks, I will do that for the general description. It's just not about the description, it's about the usage, and therefore I'm collecting a minor corpus. Science takes all forms!

    Request: help me with my linguistic essay!

    Thanks for the heads-up, I already considered the method. Then again, it's not a huge essay, and this is arguably as good as an "ordinary" query with a pen and paper, used when asking people on the street. Seeing as most, if not all, who hang around here are gamers in one way or the other, I...

    Request: help me with my linguistic essay!

    Hello everyone lurking the Escapist, I lurk these forums and have lurked for some time now. I rarely post, but that's 'cause I'm a bit too lazy to actually log in. However, most - if not all - of you have a grasp of the English language, and its slang. It's this slang I'm interested in...

    You die! And are reincarnated as a lead character in any gameverse you choose..who and why?

    I wouldn't wanna be a lead character, just a regular druid would be neat. ...or maybe a druid chosen by the very planet itself to maintain the balance? Who knows?

    That game would have been better if...

    Timesplitters 2: give us the ability to jump and I'd never put it down. Short of that, brilliant game. Final Fantasy 12: I probably would have finished it if it wasn't for the damn buffing system. Let all buffs stay on for more than 45 seconds.

    Most 'Epic' move/spell in a Video Game

    MEIN. GOTT. That's the most clever use of game mechanics I've ever seen! It wasn't so much the actual move but the execution which made it epic. More Final Fantasy: Griever's Shockwave Pulsar - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNtT68tK3YE Bahamut ZERO, Tera Flare -...

    The most hilariously easy solutions to beating a boss battle

    I don't think the bosses count once the game is already beaten and some new weapons/abilities come along to help matters even more. Therefore, unlocking the fireballs in Spyro 2 and RYNO in Ratchet and Clank won't make it to my lists. However, I always have a very easy time with Final Fantasy...

    Poll: Preferred way of entering a room

    I walk in. Ordinary, like. When I walk out, however, I pull the AWESOME DANCE. Haven't you seen the AWESOME DANCE? Well, the AWESOME DANCE is a dance only available to certain people. Boy, did I work hard for those moves...

    Your Moments of Gaming rage.

    I find it easier to avoid games that make me rage. Then again, I consider myself lucky to not rage all too much, I basically just sigh and scowl and then leave it at that. Games that make me really cynic and make me turn it off are PvP games. Not where I can see my opponent, but stuff like...

    Who has the coolest voice ever?

    Phil LaMarr. He's the voice actor for both Sig in Jak and Daxter as well as Vamp in Metal Gear Solid. Sig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3WYVNShVgk&feature=related Vamp: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TEg32t30yA Also, Michael Caine would make me sleep VERY well if he read me a bedtime...

    Your Leather Jacket Factors

    Red-heads. Oh gods, the red-heads. They make my knees weak and they go from completely unlikable hags to godess-like queens. Lucky my girl is a red one, then. Also, wearing no make-up and dressing in what would come across as comfort over style instantly gets my attention as well. Again...

    Will Grief for Laughs

    Wait, finer details about griefing? There's something "fine" about it?
