Mach 3, Nivea shaving cream, wet. Apply some Nivea after-shave cream afterwards, to refresh and moisturise. I tried an electric razor but it had this whole schtick where it would irritate like a ***** for the first three weeks, and you HAVE to use it EVERY DAY otherwise it hurts when you do...

I'm currently reading The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster - just finished City of Glass. Insanely slick piece of metafiction. Three detective stories, all very noir-esque. Trying to figure out all the ways in which the author is subverting the author-reader-protagonist relationships could cause...

...nother gig of RAM. And some functional XLR cables.

Cheers. :)

A friend showed me a bunch of Zero Punctuation vids that he had downloaded. Later, being bored and in need of a laugh, I decided to Google it and see what new games Yahtzee has decided to tear a new asshole. Voila.

I'd totally be a Psychic type - maybe Abra. I'd like to know a good Psychic attack (Psychic/Psybeam/Confusion), an attack of a different type (probably a Ghost-type attack), a poisoning move or other damage-over-time effect (like Leech Seed et al), and a straight-up status effect (something that...

While I am technically not married yet, it's going to happen, and it's going to happen with my current girlfriend.

I don't buy OSTs as a rule. Or rather, I wouldn't buy an OST just because it's an OST - I'd buy it if it was good, the same reason I'd buy an African jazz album or a collection of Radiohead remixes. The Fountain's soundtrack is fucking insane. I'm trying to get my little brother (who's been...

Way to quote a post from 11 months ago. :P Like I said, the music is shocking (and awesome!) enough without having to shock via band names. Lightning Bolt, while not quite a grindcore band, are quite noisy and abrasive, but their name and their song titles and their image manage to be...

Eyes, nose, ears, mouth. X-ray/night/infrared vision. Reactive filters that protect against extremes of light (sudden brightness, direct lasers, flashbangs...), scent (offensive/sickening smells), sound (peaks above 120 dB SPL), and taste (again, offensive/sickening tastes - useful for...

Simply because it is not submitted and codified as such, yes. You must also understand that art always builds on tradition and context. No exceptions. It is utterly impossible to create art free of tradition and context. It would be possible to create a series of progressively off-beat...

Half the point of conceptual art is to get you thinking and/or talking. Shovel did just that. :) It used to be that art was only art if you were trained in an academy and followed the current trend and did inoffensive and conservative things. Great for you if that's what you want, but I like...

I went to school in South Africa. My 6th-grade maths teacher tried taught me that 1 is a prime number (and hell, I believed her!). Also, when I was in my final year of school (grade 12), I took extracurricular maths classes (as did everyone - passing the year is difficult otherwise), and the...

I don't have the patience to read through the entire thread and respond to more pressing matters, but I felt I needed to point out a flaw in your reasoning: "Get over it" and "Be okay with who you are" is a tall order when all of society is pressuring gays (among others) to not be okay with it...

I thought this meant alcoholic drink, in which case my answer is whiskey on the rocks, but if we're talking all drinkable fluids: Coffee. I'm a shameless addict, but not to crappy instant coffee bullshit. I'm talking freshly-ground americano.
