    Most overused shots in movie history

    Where is the end of the line in an online existence?

    Social or non-addicted players who are just dedicated will move onto another community or game with the friends they made there and stick with them, and will probably leave either when they get bored and say goodbye or something dramatic happens and they get tired of it. Most people will just...

    To the people who don't pirate: Is life really so bad?

    Justifications and morals aside, the reasons people pirate are quite simply because they can. I could write up a big paragraph justifying why I downloaded something illegally, but it simply comes down to the fact that I'm not going to pay money for some music or a game if I don't really need to...

    Girls and gaming

    Depends really on the type of game or community you're in. From my observations, competitive games such as Counter-Strike and all tend to be filled more with elitist or aggressive players who are more focused on being the best as opposed to having fun. It's not a true stereotype for everyone who...

    Who here knows about the Armenian Genocide.

    Pretty much anyone who listens to System of a Down knows about it, though not the details.

    Poll: Voluntary Human Extinction

    I don't really see how humans have done anything other than what they've been mentally evolved to do. The point of mental evolution is to be more intelligent, therefore, if not to create and advance, what exactly did nature intend by gifting us greater intellect? Face it, no human is morally...

    "I'm already dating somebody else."

    It's possible but it always collapses and certainly never works. For example, in my last relationship I knew a girl for a while and never knew she had a boyfriend until after I fell for her. She didn't seem to mind it and thought "well, no reason I can't give you a chance :3". She did...

    Favorite Band?

    Torn between either Muse, Rage Against the Machine or System of a Down.

    Poll: Voluntary Human Extinction

    It's not likely but neither were the creation of humans in the first place. Besides, becoming sentient is the next evolutionary step, eventually another creature will inevitability get there. Unless, of course, it takes several billion years and the sun explodes, but hey.

    Americans and Immigration

    I agree. You are fairly lucky. I despise the UK and I've been looking to make it over to the US after college. The standards for getting a visa on your own seem pretty damn impossible, so I'm just holding out that I'll probably be in a long distance relationship with an American and probably...

    Poll: Voluntary Human Extinction

    This is the epitome of those people who sit and moan about how humans are evil and deserve to be extinct. It's ridiculous. The Earth's purpose is to create and sustain life, removing humans from the equation does not fulfill that purpose, it merely stagnates because there are no intelligent...

    Bioshock being a living, breathing world.....

    It's a little aged now, but still really good. The amount of story, dialogue and choices combined with the fun combat and character customization make it brilliant. And by choices, it's not just like being a good or bad guy and doing things different as in Fable, your decisions have a direct a...

    Are you superstitious?

    Nah, I don't believe in those old wives' tales or junk. I do believe karma exists though. Even if it's not some kind of higher power, it still exists to some extent. Bad things happen to everyone, but if you're a bad person, noone's going to be there to pick you up. That's karma for me. I...

    Losing a pet.

    Yeah, you're probably right. I spoke to my friend and he said the vet's only going to put her down if she's dying or dangerous, neither of which I believe are the case. People do exaggerate with animals and pain, humans go through the same and much worse, and very rarely is letting them die...
