    Favorite Romantic Scenes

    Yeah, the Paragon romance subplot with Jack is astonishingly sweet - My pick for my "main" Shepard was still Tali, but I think Jack's one of the most underrated characters in the game. Her voice acting is great too, few game voice actors can really sell cursing/anger/vulnerability as naturally...

    Poll: Tali Reveal

    If they want to, I'd have no problem with it - in fact, I think not doing so would be kind of a cop-out at this point. "The mystery" argument seems kind of silly to me. There is no mystery. As people have said above; everyone in the ME universe knows what a quarian looks like. They haven't...

    Poll: Would You Participate in Group Sex? (mature)

    Never have, but may be interested depending on the conditions. Obviously, at least 50:50 guys/girls (the more girls the better, obviously :-p) Appropriate use of protection (or confidence that everyone's coming into it, err, pun intended, disease-free). That being said, I'm married now...

    Taking a punch

    Disclaimer: I haven't been in a "real" fight since high school, thank dog, but I'm quite into BJJ and occasionally do some cross training with some MMA buddies. As others have said, what you're suggesting is risky, but it's a whole lot better than getting punched in the jaw or the nose...

    Zero Punctuation: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

    I don't believe this is true. For most other games, the fact that they may waste your time or "suck you in" is only incidental. WoW is *specifically* designed to do this as its end goal. I barely consider WoW a "video game" at this point, to be honest. It has far more in common with those...

    Zero Punctuation: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

    As someone who played WoW since "Vanilla" and just canceled his account last week, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to type that up. A lot of people won't want to hear it, for sure, but I think more than a few need to.

    women: drawn to the man on top of any hierarchy

    A few things. 1. BonsaiK already answered the "question", as it were, so the rest of us may as well all go home now. This isn't really theoretical either, human beings are simply still in a large part driven by urges from our lesser-primate brains that haven't caught up with the reality...

    Poll: Yeah this is Ridiculous.

    Gotta agree. If the song has swearing in it or something you don't like, don't use the song.

    Poll: Should they legalize pot?

    So, wow... nearly 30% voting "no". That government propaganda still having some effect at least. Here's the rub - cannabis is neither dangerous, nor particularly addictive. Studies have been being funded for decades trying to prove otherwise, and the best they've come up with is...

    Am I the only one who realizes achievements are worthless?

    I honestly find the push for "achievements" everywhere - on xbox, trophies on PS3, WoW, even the badges on the Escapist - to be kind of sinister. It feels like some marketing douchebag read some old psychology papers and realized they could keep people playing and re-playing by keying into...

    If you could go back in time and remake Avatar, what would you do differently?

    More-or-less what this guy said. I really hated Avatar, but reflecting on it I think I didn't hate it because it was bad, per se, but because it was mediocre and could easily have been a lot better. I'd have at least a few scenes on Earth at the beginning - to mainly serve as a...

    What would your ranged/melee/clothing be in a zombie apoc? Give details why!

    I've been into the whole zombie "thing" since well before it became cool again, so suffice to say I've given this a lot of thought. I'm reading through these posts, and thinking "Well, there's certainly going to be a lot of cool-looking, well-armed zombified corpses lol". Let's look at...

    Halo 3 Outsells PS3's Heavy Hitters Combined

    Uggh... HALO - the pinnacle of gaming mediocrity. That being said, "The Last Guardian" looks like the only reason I'd get a PS3.

    Poll: Pixar vs. Dreamworks

    Pixar, no comparison really. Cars is probably their weakest movie, and even that's only "pretty good" as compared to "amazing" like the rest of them. And I see the requisite comic has already been posted.

    Take this Quiz to Discover What Kind of Gamer You Are!

    Another "Explorer", despite taking the story-centric answers to questions at every opportunity. Also, plenty of the questions didn't really relate to me at all and there's no "none of the above" option. So, yeah, quiz kinda fails.
