    God damn, Escapist. I fucked up. I fucked up real bad.

    Wow, thanks everyone for posting the same 3 or 4 bits of advice. Now if only we could get a few more people to copy/paste the same "it's your fault/apologise/man up/pay for it" post, we might drive the point home.

    God damn, Escapist. I fucked up. I fucked up real bad.

    In some ways you're very right SamWOW - but I think that posting this question on the internet does show that Funkiest Monkey wants advice, and will listen to others. And they are rare and wonderful traits that deserved to be praised more than criticised. I would also say there are situations...

    Hey Funkiest Monkey, I hope you don't mind if I don't suggest any actions. I would encourage you to remember a few things though. Remember what you did wrong. This way you may avoid such situations in the future, and become a better person. Life will be full of mistakes, that's just a fact...

    The Big Picture: PC Gaming Is Dead - Long Live PC Gaming!

    I just don't see it, and neither do a lot of other people apparently. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs, but I found half of your arguments were weak, wrong or unfounded - and the other half which I agreed with, I would have used as arguments FOR the longevity of PC gaming...

    The Big Picture: Two Many Busters

    Bob skipped over one point in the video I would have very much liked more on - and that's why Ghostbusters is such a classic. I didn't watch it as a kid, and watching as an adult... I didn't like one thing about it. I was barely able to watch it all the way through, and I usually love these...

    Oddworld Creator Reviving Abe's Oddysee

    I disagree - as long as they don't change it too much, I think it's a wonderful idea. Studios are always so focused on creating new content, when there is a wealth of gold that has become near inaccessible to the new generations. Real classics that deserve to be remastered. What did these old...

    If you could introduce one invention to the ancient world what would it be?

    A time machine? I hate having to choose just one thing.

    These two music videos - seriously worth it:

    Why do you like anime?

    Well, since we're generalising: Here 'in the West', our storytellers focus on formula. They know the three acts, character arcs, season cliff hangers, and all that Joseph Campbell stuff back to front. Movies like Iron Man are extremely formulaic, and easily predictable (did anyone here...

    Have you ever outsmarted your teacher?

    I was at a pretty strict school, and had already received two detentions about not wearing a tie. Next infraction was a Saturday detention - as you can imagine that is a big deal for everyone involved. I had, of course, lost my tie early in the day by using it to swat wasps over a bin... and...
