    The Big Picture: Tropes vs. MovieBob

    I think the point that people make about girls getting things like Twilight and Trashy Romance novels don't really hold water. Even though there are plenty of them out there the medium they are in as a whole is still very diverse, there are still loads of films for other audiences that aren't...

    Games as Art--- Why do you think so?

    Considering the things that have been called art of the last 100 years (Dada, pop-art and the like.) I think you can't really make a definition of art based on properties of the piece alone. I think something becomes art the moment someone admires the object for its beauty and the emotions it...

    Poll: Parents who play video games

    The only games I've ever gotten my parents to enjoy is wii tennis mostly due to the silly waggle remote stuff, and Guitar Hero, 'cause they really like that kind of music.

    "Random fact of the day" thread.

    Here's a useless factoid, LEGO was originally designed not as a toy but as a cheap prefabricated building material to rebuild Europe after World War II (at a much larger scale obviously). Also, coconuts kill more people each year than sharks. And if you Google "recursion" it will ask if...

    Blatantly Overpowered characters

    As powerful as Tryndamere is he is nowhere near some of the shit that was in the League in its early days. Some examples include Twisted Fate when he was released, had a 2 sec AoE stun on a 5 sec cool-down and his teleport was available at level 1. Xin Zhoa was much more tankier than now, had...

    How to watch "Game of Thrones" in the Netherlands

    So basically the only way to not have to wait a month is piracy, and people still think the main cause is people not wanting to pay for things. oh well thanks for the info.

    How to watch "Game of Thrones" in the Netherlands

    How/Where? The series looks really awesome but I can't seem to find a way of watching it here in Holland, that is, one that doesn't involve piracy. So I was wondering if any other Dutch folk know how to get my hands on the series here, is there a steam equivalent for TV series or something?

    Poll: How many of you have actually read the SOPA bill?

    To answer the question in the poll, no I didn't read the bill mostly because I don't have a law degree and didn't expect to understand a word of it in its raw form. What I think of the bill mostly comes from TB's video and the Techdirt article he linked, since that actually had things fairly...

    The Best Kind of Facts: Random!

    On the subject of koalas, eucalyptus leaves have a mild hallucinogenic agent, meaning koalas spend most of their lives stoned out of their skulls. The Eiffel tower is approximately 1 metre taller in the summer due to the iron expanding in the heat.

    Poll: Does anyone actually like being the "warrior"?

    As most have said in this thread, if the warrior is designed to be a coward who hides behind his shield while everyone else does all the work, he can be quite dull. However, if he's the balls to the wall berserker who charges into an enemy horde and massacres anything too scared or too stupid to...

    Top Five Favorite Movies

    Hmmmm, it would be easier if you let us rank our top 500 instead of just five awsome films, so I'll restrict this to films that haven't been named yet. The Shawshank redemtion The Blues Brothers The Simpsons movie Das Leben der anderen ('The life of others' for people that don't speak...

    What's strange about *your* language?

    The thing that realy pisses me off about the Dutch language is the Dutch Language Institute (a.k.a. Het Nederlands Taal Institute). This organisation officialy decides how every single word in the Dutch language is spelled, with one problem; they don't make a bunch of sensable rules and aply...

    Sorry you don't look enough like yourself to be in the movie

    What I want to know is why are people interested in a Mass Effect movie, Hollywood has proved time and again that it can't turn games into proper good films. The most interesting parts about Mass Effect is that you can choose what happens and create the interesting scenarios that you want, the...

    Poll: Calling your Parents by there First name?

    I call them by their first names, maybe it's because I've been brought up bilingualy meaning that I was never sure wether I had to call them mum and dad or vader en moeder. No matter who was talking to them Clare and Mike was always right so I just stuck to that as a kid.
