    The Big Picture: Schlocktober 2012: Attack of the Super Monsters

    I saw something very similar to this when I was young. Same general premise and production style, but different characters and vehicles. And the dinosaurs didn't talk. Just wish I could remember what it was called.

    Long hair on men?

    I have long hair. It comes down to about to almost the middle of my back. I've had it for quite a while now though it doesn't seem to be getting any longer. I probably don't look after it as well as i should, though most people say it looks nice and that it suits me. To honest, i wouldn't...

    I've Become Everything I've Ever Hated.

    Facebook. I resisted getting one for so long. I had Livejournal back in the day and got sick of it, so I didn't see why this would be any different. But I went overseas recently and met a bunch of cool people, and in the end the only reliable way I was going to be able to keep contact was via...

    The single most destructive phrase...

    An sentence where "versus" is used as a verb. I'm a regular at a local wargaming shop, and whenever someone says "I versed him", "Can I verse you?" or anything along those lines, it brings out my inner Grammar-Nazi, and nobody likes those. "We need to talk", or words to that effect, are...

    Who Should Speak For Earth?

    I nominate Stephen Fry. Seriously, could anything resist his charm? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgKXF4Dk_oI

    What do you think of the word "******"? [LOTS OF CURSE WORDS AHOY]

    I think it's overused. It seems to have become some kind of buzzword which saw a resurgence online and then carried over into everyday speech, those saying it thinking that it makes them sound like the toughest hardarses to ever walk the school oval. I'm not a fan of swearing. I try to...

    Australia Asks About High Game Prices

    It's not just videogames, it's everything. As far as I can tell, CDs and DVDs are also ridiculously overpriced here. Internet is freaking expensive. I'm also a Games Workshop fan, and while I dearly love the company, it irks me that I have to pay equal to two or three times the same price as...

    DC Says One Of Its"Iconic" Heroes Is Gay

    My bet is that it's going to be The Flash. He's the only one that could be considered iconic without having a huge mainstream presence or a current Hollywood star who could get offended by association.

    Your gaming Backlog

    Recently I finished Batman: Arkham City, playing it rather solidly for a couple of weeks, months after I'd actually bought it (I got it in release day after preordering). My current backlog consists of Brütal Legend, Assassins Creed II: Brotherhood, Fable III and Half Life 2.

    So some woman are afraid of me because of my job....

    Not being a woman, I can't speak on this with any certainty. However, often if I come across some construction happening next to the footpath or the road, I'll cross over to the other side (or at least give a wide berth) just so there's no chance of me getting in the way or even accidentally...

    Now You Can Preorder a SNES Game

    If you think that it's overpriced then maybe you shouldn't buy it. I assume the price reflects that the technology required to make these games isn't easy to get one's hands on, though I could be wrong about that. Likely they it wouldn't be worth their while making the game if they sold it...

    Something I realised about America this Holiday

    As an Australian, I take offence to this. I think u would find that it in fact us who are Kings - nay Gods - when it comes to charging obscene amounts for miniscule servings of food. So much so that we have extended the practice to all manner of products and services. But back on topic; I...

    The Big Picture: Words for Nerds

    While listening to point #5, I couldn't help but wonder if it was an indirect comment on the middle-east conflict and the actions of certain states. However, that could just be me reading too much into things.

    Adult Escapists: What do you do for a living?

    Though I'm 29 I find it hard to class myself as an Adult. Adults have stability and responsibilities and generally know how to take care of themselves, while I do not have any of those things. To answer the question, I work primarily as a waiter but also have a casual job in retail.

    To Warhammer 40K fans: What's your favourite and least favourite Space Marine chapter or race?

    Top three for me would be the Salamanders, Space Wolves and Blood Angels in roughly that order. Bottom three are the Iron Hands, Warbringers and Deathwatch (not a real Chapter, I know, but they're a stupid idea and should never have been introduced: anything that steals its backstory from Men...
