Vikings [http://www.history.com/shows/vikings]. I was looking for something light to watch, a few weeks ago, and I thought I'd try this. I assumed it was going to be a crash-bang all-action show with lots of hairy men waving axes and storming monasteries, no-brain entertainment. It's so much...

Physically at various stages in my life I've been extremely fit, and I've been extremely unfit. Neither of those things matters. I'm bored to tears by people who strain to make themselves far more physically capable than they need to be (for the purposes, of the life they lead) and then preen...

Just don't expect your life to be happy. We've been sold a Hollywood lie that life is supposed to be a near-endless stream of happy times; it's not.

"The West Wing". A brilliant intellectual with a passionate commitment to social justice gets elected President of the USA. Come on...

This is a song called "Life" by a deservedly obscure British singer called Des'ree. It has won awards as The Worst Lyric Of All Time. Are you ready for this? No. No you are not ready for this. I beg forgiveness, international friends - soon there will come a time in your life when you can look...

In "The Godfather" there is a moment of acting so perfect, so brilliant, that it tells the entire story on its own. After Don Vito is shot in the street, his son Michael goes to visit him in hospital and finds there is no-one there - no Family guards, no private security, no-one. He knows that...

Having no resources to fund a lone vigilante campaign, I conjecture he'd end up leader of a movement. His passion and commitment, wedded to his enormous personal charisma, would attract those like him who had been hurt by modern life in urban America. One or two guys at first - strong, hard men...

The level of improper responses in this thread is disgraceful. http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/176/233/HeresyStamp.png I LOVED Vengeance of the Blood Angels, and still play it to this day - it is one of the most atmospheric games I have ever played. If they get that side of...

Well, that's uninspired. But then, I still yearn for the days of original music on GTA radio stations. I preferred that to the largely mediocre collection of real-world stuff we've been getting since Vice City. "Every day is a beautiful day..."

Forgive the double-post, but I had to. I just had to. (For the record CrimsonBlaze, I am entirely behind your argument!)

I don't know about the legal system where you live, but I work at my local Court here in England and I can tell you that any document which isn't signed is treated as worth less than the paper it is printed on. In the last few years things have become a little more relaxed with regard to the...

I cannot recommend this podcast enough. http://www.earwolf.com/show/nerd-poker/ Despite my avatar, I've actually never played tabletop games to any sort of extent - although many of my friends are regular players, I happily admit to preferring the PC versions of these things. But that...

Come to think of it, the most obvious and graphic example of trying something I just wasn't ready for has to be fighting a giant in Skyrim. I didn't even want to fight him, but something accidental happened and it was on. And this wasn't early in the game, I was well on in levelling and study of...

Playing Panzer General for the first time, flushed with success in Poland. With n00b overconfidence, I go piling into Norway - very awkward country, mountains and forests all over the place. I'm attacking from the south, and have to fight through all that crap to get to the northern cities...

SINCERE WARNING - I heard this song once - once - on the radio, maybe 12 years ago. I have never shaken it off. I hate it, it's awful, complete garbage. Its very existence is inexplicable; who could ever have possibly thought this was a good idea for a lyric? But it has plagued me mercilessly...
