That's what I was thinking, though I won't deny colonialists were racist I would think it was simply the fact they saw a ruined castle and then they saw people who weren't even using a lot of stone and thought "hmmm, well evidently this isn't the sought of thing they built. I mean sure they...

A company is perfectly within it's rights to be wary about the "public face" of you as a representative of them available to whoever takes the time to look for you. However, your private business is your private business anything the general public can't see they shouldn't have the right to see...

I knew someone British who was in the US who got asked if we had TVs on this side of the pond she replied "no we sit around listening to the wireless though" and they believed her. That's not really a stereotype but it is a hilarious example of a bizarre misconception that some people have...

Put it this way I love Bioshock but I hate TES. This is because I do not like RPGs, primarily because I want a story with direction and I hate levelling, grinding etc. As has been said they're different types of games, to put in terms of series you will probably know well: Bioshock is Zelda...

To me, The Escapist is like a friend who comes over to play a couple of rounds of Super Smash Brothers; that?s actually excited I finally managed to defeat the final boss in the latest Final Fantasy. Yet, with this same friend I can happily debate religion and politics with and not risk never...

never heard of him but I guess this is where the whole Cthulu thing came from? I was really confused one year there was no mention of Cthulu and then everywhere even vaguely nerdy I looked there was a squid thing and yells of CTHULUUUUUUU!!! wait I just did a wiki.... he wrote it in 1926...

Well the one time I went straight for it the guy was like "no thanks" which was fine. However, he then announced I was a stalker to lots and lots of people and it went round the whole year suffice to say we stopped being friends :) a better method is to get a mutual friend to test the water...

that ones sweet though it did get me thinking about obese polar bears... I don't have one but I've also never had a boyfriend so maybe I should use some of these :P EDIT: just read the post above and that's now my favourite pick-up line :D btw it seems that I have a thing for "breaking the...

What's the weirdest thing you've ever said by accident? Here's mine: me and my brother had an argument about how I knew nothing about the Nazis despite the fact I'd studied it all year and my history GCSE was in 3 days. Bizarrely it ended with this: brother -"you don't even know what a...

I hate Apple they are just so obnoxious, they're like innocent smoothies: insidious. In my house there is a Mac a macbook and I have an iPod however my dad but all of this stuff cause he loves Apple. Personally I find I have less trouble with PCs though I understand macs appeal and in terms...

Base buildings a bit dull for some people I think, well for me cause I'm really impulsive (but then again I can't even manage to play Splinter Cell without running right through the middle of the room guns blazing) my brother was definitely a base builder. So I'd go for the build guys kill guys...

Oblivion as soon as I realised that 1) you can't just go straight for the story cause you get slaughtered 2) you don't just level up like normal 3) I had to follow Mr Elf at night cause he was smuggling or something oh noes! *rolls eyes* Halo 3, I just couldn't get into the zone to have a...

this reminded me of a funny story I called my friend Andrew Andy once at school and then I had a spaz attack in the corridor cause no one calls him that and I have no idea what possessed me to do it. Suffice to say I sped went bright red and squeaked at him before fleeing the scene... smooth...

Lol the second one made me laugh had anyone seriously written that? But yeah that must get annoying... Doesn't happen a lot among my friends but generally people with real stuff to deal with don't plaster it all over the internet. Is there a switch in people in happy families that switches them...

November 28th and the awesome thing is that day is graduation day at my uni, and it was a holiday for my high school as well, so I always get a holiday on my birthday! I'm going to Alton Towers this year!
