    Wow, thats too nerdy even for me!

    I would never do LARPing. I have some odd urge to try D&D, but almost nobody does that around here, and the people who I have a gut feeling would play D&D are the kind of people that act weird enough for me to avoid. I would also never become obsessed with a book. I know some nerdy girls (It's...

    Poll: You Discover Your Child Will Be...

    I can't know for a fact, but I believe that I would raise the child myself. Yeah, it would be pretty much a vegetable, but it would be MY vegetable. I hope to be a father someday myself, and I could never stand to lose a child in any way. I don't care if it's abortion, natural death, or even...

    Why do Americans hate football(soccer) so much?

    I would say, like many others have already said, that we really don't hate the sport so much. I mean, I looked at my Facebook page after Landon Donovan scored that goal in stoppage time and I counted 12 or so posts that said either "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLL!!" or "USA!USA!USA!." And...

    Topical Tuesday: The Apocalypse is Coming, Get Packing

    5 computers with 2 TB internal hard drives, in order to save the current knowledge of the world while saving space. The extra 4 are for backup. 10 external hard drives, with backups of said data. 3 cans of compressed air, to cleans out the computers to prevent dust damage. 5 additional...

    Childhood "Nightmares"

    What are some "nightmares" from your childhood that you look back upon and notice just how non-frightening or weird they were? If you can't remember any, then what were some of the scariest nightmares from your childhood? I have a relatively weird "nightmare." It consisted of me walking into...

    have a second language?

    My second language is German. I'm somewhat fluent. I know all of the grammar, but I don't know a bunch of the words.

    whats your ethnicity?

    Lets see, I'm Caucasian. I live in America, and I'm 25% German, 25% Czech, 25% Irish, 25% Mixed European. (I may be a bit off on the percentages, but it's pretty close to that)

    Poll: Peanut butter

    Definitely creamy. I can't stand to eat chunky peanut butter. I think it's a texture thing. I just don't like to have nuts in almost anything. By themselves they're okay, but in other things, I don't like nuts.

    Worst Book You've Read for School

    Jane Eyre (9th grade) I fell behind on reading that book. I had to spend a few hours every day for a weekend to finish it. Worst experience of my life (Note: Use of hyperbole). I couldn't stand that book. Out of the hundred or so kids that had to read it, I don't think that a single person...

    THIS GAME IS PISSING ME OFF SO MUCH! NOW LET'S PLAY IT SOME MORE!

    Well... Just yesterday I got pretty mad at two games. In Football Manager 2010, I got to the MLS Playoffs only to lose 3-1 to my rival "New England Revolution," but I placed second in coach of the year, so I didn't rage too bad. Also, I was playing "Beat Hazard" on suicidal difficulty... yeah...

    The Most Trivial and Pointless Argument You've Ever Had.

    At my lunch table, we had an argument about whether or not white chocolate chips in a chocolate cookie was considered a "double chocolate cookie." That argument went on for about half an hour.

    Poll: How many posts do you do a day?

    I generally post like 1 or 2 things a day, but I just like to lurk about and read interesting threads. I generally don't post unless I have something meaningful to say.

    E3 2010: Nintendo Formally Reveals Its 3DS, Kid Icarus

    Considering how bad Microsoft's press conference was, I was seriously impressed with what Nintendo did. Microsoft didn't really announce anything new (besides the nicer looking 360), while Nintendo announced and showed so many games, while hyping up the 3DS and showing a very good library for it...

    So, how do you like E3 so far?

    Actually, it seems that it wasn't. The Non-E3 event was canceled, but the surprise was not. In fact, Gabe Newell has responded to a few people who emailed about the surprise, and he was giving very vague details about the surprise, implying that it still exists. (Those details were stuff like...

    Poll: Buying games for teenagers

    Well, call my opinion biased, because I'm 14 (Actually, 15 in 49 minutes :D ) and I also wrote 7 1/2 page paper over the lack of effect that violent video games have on the player, but I really don't see this as being very wrong. Yes, the kid got a video game. So what. If the parent didn't want...
