    Poll: Xbox vs. Nintndo vs. PS vs. PC

    So are these threads usually filled with unfunny comments of an expectant flamewar that never comes? Also, Link55, a word of advice, try not to just... well, make things up or run on rumors. Are you sure 360s over heat alot? I mean, most hardware faults have been ironed out for years now...

    Snow White, Trailers and possible infections...

    Personally I think it looks alright. Hating on it primarily because of Kristen Stewart would be equally as silly as loving it before seeing it simply because of the presence of Charlize Theron or Chris Hemsworth. Also, why can't a fairytale be reappropriated as a 'fantasy epic'? Disney may...

    "The blood of an innocent." the voice hisses. The creature appears to slide closer to the party.

    Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition: Secrets of the Snakewood.

    In Winterhaven The shopkeeper looks up at Kriv as he speaks. ?What ruin is this? And what is a Dragonborn Knight doing in Winterhaven, aside from delving into the resting places of things long since laid to rest?? His tone is harsh, his eyes narrowed; an expression of disdain across his...

    On The Wayside [Closed, Started]

    Claudio speaks up once conversation dies down, ?You are just as much a hypocrite as those you condemn before your tale, do you realise this sir?? Claudio?s voice is calm, his words picked carefully, yet without hesitation, ?You speak of scholars, of thinkers who do not understand what it is...

    Is There Anything Good About Being a Man?

    Different =/= unequal. Both words are too different to be used interchangeably. I honestly wish I had your optimism. As already mentioned with regards to race, prejudice and priviledge are not as prevalent now, or explicit. But they still continue to exist in a much more passive way that...

    Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe (Worst song ever?)

    The possibility is there, and I might even go with it if it weren't for the video. Watch it. Actually watch it. Take a moment to objectively observe their facial expressions. They think they are funny. I don't find it funny, or appealing musically, but the position as genre-jamming parody is...

    Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe (Worst song ever?)

    And as this hilarious example proves, even with a sense of self-conscious irony, a parody can still miss the mark. I am not saying this is straight up parody, but it is obvious that they are aware of the genre conventions they are playing with in the creation of that monstrosity.

    Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe (Worst song ever?)

    No, nope, no. There is a strong possability that certain songs of hers are served up through an alternate persona which is loaded with irony. There is an argument as to how valid an expression is, and where and when differing personas come in to play, but again, you are working off of...

    Is There Anything Good About Being a Man?

    Oh and of course, child birth isn't our problem directly. On top of this, society still suggests that a man go to work while the woman needs to play the 'role' of mother at home. I mean, paternity leave is something that is still hotl contested/frowned upon in some circles I believe. Make of...

    Is There Anything Good About Being a Man?

    Spinozaad got in with what I wanted to say, and quite concisely. Being male, unfortunately, still carries privilege in modern society.

    Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe (Worst song ever?)

    I quite like Niki Minaj. But this songs chorus is genuinely quite annoying, and really ruins whatever appeal the rest of the song had. I think alot of people are missing the point of the song and video. As 'lacktheknack' observed, But as he went on to criticise, parody doesn't give an excuse...

    Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition: Secrets of the Snakewood.

    Furgin takes a moment to investigate the door. Once happy that there appears to be no sinister traps awaiting the hands of his Dwarven companion, he allows him to get to work opening the huge stone doors. Getting a grip upon the edges of each door by sliding his fingers into the central...
