Pyrokinesis is my pick, because it gives me the ability to destroy as much stuff as possible. If your power can't cause massive collateral damage, it's a wimpy one.

The fact that so many NPCs clipped through so many objects so many times drove me nuts. One instance stands out in my mind: when I led the scientists back into the Jefferson Memorial, I remember watching as every single one of them either leapt two feet into the air and juddered over a...

Tim Hortons claims to sell tea. I call bullshit / false advertising. Every time I have purchased a tea from one of several Tim Hortons locations, they have managed to somehow botch it (often to undrinkability). The Timbits are still pretty rad, though.

I happen to be the girl in my D&D groups. I don't notice much of a difference at all. I'm just treated like one of the guys. I haven't sensed any bad blood or favoritism. Go go gender equality?

Hmmm...I don't think the really hardcore violence came along until I played Fallout 3, what with the exploding limbs and other loveliness. My parents tend to be annoying restrictive about the kinds of games I play. They're hardasses for following the ESRB ratings. Since then, I've moved on...

Don't have a boyfriend, never have, and am immensely proud of it. Heavy reliance on another person is a liability. You're gonna get hurt in the end, guaranteed.

It depends on what my teammates take. If they all go shottie, I'll take the uzi to fill the gap.

See, Mom? Video games are good for me!

I'm under the impression that the quality of recent Unskippable episodes have been waning. The first few had me laughing myself into stitches, but the newest ones have only contained one or two hardcore "lol" moments.

I'm a girl, and I find all of the scantily-clad females (and males, for that matter) in my video games to be annoying. I'm here to shoot things up, thanks. Then again, aren't video games supposed to be the representations of the two most coveted elements in Western society: violence and...

Camelot would make an absurd amount of money if they ever got around to GS3. It felt like there were simply too many loose ends left behind at the end of The Lost Age. The possibilities for games set in the new, Alchemy-infused Weyard are pretty numerous.

Got another atheist over here. I'm quite surprised at how far ahead atheism actually is.

Pokemon Red. I remember spending ten minutes running around in the player's own house, trying to figure out where the heck the door was.

I have no preference either way. I work with both traditional (pencil and paper) and digital (tablet and Photoshop) mediums, and when it comes down to it, either method could very well be considered 'art.' I acquired my tablet because I wanted to jump the process of having to ink and clean up...

I went in with the typical fangirl mentality: "I really liked the book. Oh please, comic book gods, don't let the movie be total crap." I emerged only vaguely disappointed. The movie wasn't awful at all. I rather enjoyed it, actually. However, all I did was like. I didn't feel any real...
