    Name 4 things in the room with you right now you would bring with you for any kind of apocalypse.

    It makes stealing things, say food or shelter, a whole lot easier. And it makes it a whole lot harder to steal from you.

    Name 4 things in the room with you right now you would bring with you for any kind of apocalypse.

    I'm in my home office so I'm screwed... Let's see, Three Hole Punch: because it's the heaviest swingable item. Package of 12 boxes of Mac and Cheese: I'm not sure why that's in here. My cell phone: For light and a clock until it dies. Uh, I don't know, scissors? I might be able to...

    Bands people don't seem to know about.

    Andrew Jackson Jihad Although folk isn't really a big pull here in the corn belt so I suppose it could be expected.

    Experimental Ice Cream

    Fries and ice cream is actually really amazing. I prefer chocolate shakes with them, but it all works. Something about the cold, creamy, sweet mixing with the hot, salty, crunch is extremely satisfying.

    Looking For Good Books

    Cat's Cradle and Slaughterhouse 5 are amazing. It's hard to go wrong with Kurt Vonnegut but I suggest starting with those two. Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo is my absolute favorite book. One by Metallica was based off of it. A Canticle For Leibowitz is a pretty awesome...

    "Yeah, that's my ass. Would you kindly get your hands off it?"

    It's common courtesy for the outer barrier of the circle pit to quickly pick up anyone who falls... And for everyone who knows what they are doing to beat the shit out of all the screamo kids trying out their karate moves. I've never been groped, probably more my fault than anyone elses. But...

    Zero Punctuation: Alpha Protocol

    You posted 3 minutes after a 5 minute video was posted. I'm pretty sure anyone who posts before they could have possibly watched the video is automatically placed on probation or banned.

    Most absurd gamertags (Or when did THAT ever seem like a good idea)

    My old roommate's account used to be MeatHaxzorz... as a joke, obviously. For some reason I still really enjoy the absurdity of that name.

    Poll: Your Hardcore/Not so Hardcore Rock Band's name.

    Commission On Population And Development... sounds way too boring for my band. My other is The Blood Red Tape Of Charity... I'll fucking take that. Sounds pretty awesome to me. Apparently it's an old 10 minute silent film that is now considered to be lost.

    Whats the worst ending to a movie you have seen

    The first time I saw From Dusk Till Dawn I caught it on a movie channel without reading the description. It looked like an awesome Quentin standard, dialogue driven movie and I was looking forward to seeing George handling Quentin's demented character. And then Harvey Keitel and Juliette Lewis...

    LoadingReadyRun: Le Café

    It is magnificent, but it is not lunch, it is madness... I have absolutely no idea where it's from but I do know me some basic french.

    Games that have taken the most hours of your life away (apart from WoW!!)

    Years and years and YEARS of Starcraft. Followed distantly by Civ III and IV.

    You STILL haven't completed it?

    Dead Rising. I was early into it escorting people from the food court, outside, back to the safe room. I had to carry a crying girl, set her down, run back and help everyone else to get to her location... so I leapfrogged all the way to the other side of the mall. Made the mistake of giving a...

    The games with the Best and Worst of Tutorials

    I realized I haven't played a football game in ages (Madden 95 on Super Nintendo if my memory is correct) so I picked up Madden 10. It didn't teach a single thing about audibles, motions, coverages, the right stick, etc... I can figure out how to call hike and pass the ball quickly on my own...

    A game I want...NOW!

    I agree. I would also like it to be set in a sandbox city/world where you can actually enter all the buildings and clear them out. Of course that game would be damn demanding. Or you can just have it set in a past period and do without the modern weaponry all together. Or just Starcraft...
