    What's so great about Cthulhu?

    To call it old hat as if it were playing upon something else is really kind of disrespectful, seeing as it is the hat that all other hats are based upon. And as for the entire "Chaos Gods" taken from Cthulhu by the way - it came first in the time line, so it trumps all those trying to steal...

    Poll: Mecha, Japanese, European, or North American?

    ooh, tricky question. Now, there have been hundreds of reiterations of 'Japanese mecha' in nearly every anime, sentai show, and a multitude of manga and video games. Quite frankly, they have a greater diversity and some of the options and styles, weapon systems and abilities are mind...

    Xbox Live Hacked?

    I noticed there was some talk about password strength, and I felt it appropriate to bring this up now. I am unsure if anyone else here is familiar with XKCD, but the author and artist (same person) is greatly interested in math, science, computers, and astronomy (given that he is a former...
