English Japanese here. Born in Japan, moved to Aus as a kid, so native level fluent in both languages. I get asked Op's type of questions a lot, ie. "Which language do you think in?" and I always answer "Depends on which country I'm currently living in". Most months of the year I live in...

I've always loved the guitar solos in old-school metal ballads, like GNR 'November Rain' or Dire Strait 'Brothers In Arms'. Enter Steve Vai, one of the best guitarists in the world, with an entire album dedicated to guitar solo compositions. Honestly all the songs are great, but 'For The...

I'm a fanatical Bioshock fan, and a part of the reason why I became one is because of the music:

It's... ok. Nothing fantastic. But enjoyable. Played the Closed Beta, currently playing duo squad with a friend. I find it does enough to keep me interested, but definitely not enough to actually have me enthralled. I imagine this is what WoW players must feel like, invested enough to keep...

Hooray! Charisma is finally something more than unique dialogue and speech checks! Pouring all my points into it won't feel so meaningless now!

I have a 1GB folder on my HDD filled with nothing but ZP episodes. Watch em every day. Sure the humor wears off, he's incredibly biased and sometimes hypocritical. But between his videos, extra punctuation articles and side-projects (All Hail Chzo and the Order of The Blessed Agonies) he...

The reason why so many protagonists are white males is simple, when you think about it: because the people making the games are also white males. If a writer wants to create a new main character to write about, they're going to utilise their own knowledge (i.e what's familiar / relatable to...

"Assassin's Creed at this point is not a series of games. Assassin's Creed is now a line graph." - Ben 'Yatzhee' Croshaw With the exception of AC4, every major installment in the franchise just feels like the same game with slight upgrades. The combat gets more and more cartoon-y, the...

I may be in the minority here, but I always preferred APC to anything by Tool.

I can certainly understand that; I guess even if being gay was a defect, it doesn't necessarily NEED to be cured since it's causing no inherent issues (besides societal ones, anyway). Here's another theory though: it's interesting to think that, based on your statements, homosexuality is...

Ok, I understand you're upset about how MoS turned out. But let's take a step back for a minute and examine who exactly is responsible for this supposed mess. And for the record, I didn't think it was that bad. If you just take it at face value, removing the superman fandom, it's actually a...

Is it wrong for me to think that, in a sense, homosexuality IS a disease? I mean from a purely biological standpoint, human beings are designed to be heterosexual (i.e. our parts match up). So for a person to go against that and be gay is, literally, against nature. I'm not trying to be...

That's quite an eloquent rant there, too bad there's not enough articulate language in it to disguise the very obvious bias you have for Snyder. He may not be the next Spielberg, But based on what you're shouting it sounds like Snyder is Michael Bay v2.0. And Michael Bay he is not. I don't...

As it stands, I'm kind of on the fence: on one hand, OHMYGODBATTLEFRONTISBACKAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! on the other hand, Dice...EA.... I'm going to have to see at LEAST a bit more than a snow speeder and an AT-AT's foot to be convinced. P.S: A minute of silence for Pandemic Games, the glorious...

Walking Dead. *hides behind anti-fanboy shield* ...can I come out? Is it safe? I liked the first.. half? 2 thirds? of the first season, but when the show introduced the whole 'best friend is sleeping with wife' plot I just lost interest. I'm watching a zombie show, I don't want some...
