"So when are you going to have kids?" I keep fucking telling you that I'm not going to have kids because 7 billion people is more than enough and I'm not irresponsible enough to try and raise children when I'm 1) a selfish bastard and 2) don't make at least $100,000 a year to ensure a good...

I have an inherent need to stay the fuck away from EA. I won't even steal their crap. It's like they took Google's "Don't be evil" motto and got rid of the "Don't" part, and I'd really just feel a lot better if they vanished off the face of the earth or at very least got out of game publishing...

So one minute the best looking guys from the goth club are on a road trip whinging about how they need to take a piss or their asses are sore from all the sitting, the next they're pulling over to the rest stop area and *WHAM* the LSD kicks in and they're killing a kaiju and a squad of...

I want to be a freelance blacksmith and woodworker doing custom jobs for people's houses, art and historically accurate armour & weaponry. I'd like to partner up with someone who knows tailoring. Right now I'm a metal fabricator, carpenter and industrial machinery mechanic. I have the...

Why do we need to make these traits gender specific when they're obviously not? These boundaries have been falling apart for a long time but the language hasn't kept up. I just don't see the words 'masculine' and 'feminine' being relevant anymore except for people still holding onto dead...

I think we should, as customers, hold developers accountable for making false promises or failing to deliver on the fundamental expectations we have as gamers. It's become increasingly common for big name development studios to half ass titles with the expectations that their masses of loyal...

Final Fantasy X. During my first game, in which I didn't even get 1/4 of the way through the story, I hated Tidus. I never got far into the game because of his tantrums and whining. I also never liked sports, so I had an innate aversion to blitzball and barely touched it. Several years...

I don't notice a huge difference in visuals between 30 and 60 fps. I'm happy to watch movies at 24 frames. My big problem with it only comes into play when input is part of the equation. Mouse input just sucks at 30 fps. Every single freelook game I've played that was capped at 30 frames made my...

I completely agree that Oberyn was a big loss to this series, just because he was exactly the kind of character the show needed, and many of the surviving characters are dull as rocks at this point. I knew Oberyn was going to die but when the actor was introduced and I saw the first episodes he...

My opinion is you really do need to share common interests with them, you can't just fake a good conversation. If you're not interested in the stuff they like and vice versa, you're not going to be best friends. The truth is that there is no secret to it, you just have to find people who think...

=/ I feel exactly the same as you for exactly the same reasons.

Captain Murphy of course.

I'd seen many animes before I'd seen Akira, but that was the film which gave me a deep respect for animated films and the pinpoint where stopped thinking of them as just the Japanese version of cartoons. For me personally, Ghost in the Shell surpassed Akira in 1995 and I think it's probably...

I don't know if it's the death of cinema. I think the death of cinema is the increasing prices of tickets, increasing quality of electronics at home and ease of access to films through the net. That said, blockbusters were still busting blocks last I checked. I'll say this though - digital...
