    Your Pseudonym, how did you come up with it?

    Armery is a fantasy character I created when i was in Grade 2 or 3, and was part of a made-up game I played with a friend on the playground. The "king" is there for two reasons: makes the character sound important; hopefully shows that I didn't misspell "armory".

    Attempts at making anything sound dirty

    Teach an old dog new tricks. Or, even easier, just add "if you know what I mean" at the end of your sentence.

    Poll: What is the answer to 48/2(9+3)?

    It's funny to see a failed burn attempt. :P

    Poll: What is the answer to 48/2(9+3)?

    I originally thought that it was 2 but, after thinking it through, by how it is worded it must be 288. For the answer to equal 2 it would need to be written as follows: 48/[2(9+3)] Otherwise, following BEDMAS, you would add the numbers in brackets to get 12 and then work from left to right...

    Poll: Quality Vs Freedom

    By how the question was worded, it seems I would rather have a Half-Life 2 than an Alpha Protocol. Though that is because Half-Life 2 makes you feel like you are in a free, open-world game while actually being linear. In that regard, I would prefer a game with freedom than a game that is linear...

    Bioware controversy...possible fraud?

    "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Carl Sagan We can take an economic perspective on the issue: What are the risks and rewards of Bioware pulling a stunt such as what you have explained? The risks are obvious; a critical drop in reputation and a surge in skepticism about...

    Poll: Do you sit or stand?

    I never thought about it in my life but it seems I'm asspidextrous. EDIT: P.S. Welcome to the Escapist.

    Poll: Do you like Mark Zuckerberg?

    I found your different interpretations quite humorous.

    Poll: Do you like Mark Zuckerberg?

    So then you have no feelings about Sarah Palin, Bill O'Reilly, or Jack Thompson? Or, much more extremely, you have no feelings about Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, or Pol Pot? I completely understand having a "meh" opinion on Mark Zuckerberg, but I argue that you do not need to know someone...

    Your Favourite Kafka Stories

    I just hit the Quote button twice and cut-paste what I want to answer in each quote. It was more about the delusion for Samsa of being able to change back into a human (or continue acting as if he were human), the continual spiral into less and less human qualities, and also his family more...

    Page 20 lurking

    I do not lurk on page 20, but I do for pretty much all other pages and topics. I hardly reply, mostly because I would rather watch chaos unfold than be a part of it.

    Your Favourite Kafka Stories

    I haven't read The Trial but it certainly sounds interesting. What is it about? Why do you think Metamorphosis is overrated? I thought it was a fantastic blend of comedy and commentary on social position, while very much written with a focus. I will definitely be looking into him now...

    Poll: Do you like Mark Zuckerberg?

    It certainly was an interesting performance. One of my favourite lines is when Eisenberg says to the Winklevi, "If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you'd have invented Facebook." I'll keep that in mind next time. =)
