    Sayings you dont understand

    Actually...not quite. The expression was originally "there's more than one way to skin a catfish", since skinning your fish before you eat it is, while important, not something that requires great similarities in strategies. So people would skin catfish in all sorts of different ways. So the...

    Worst Book or Book series you have ever read.

    I don't know whether this has been mentioned, but OHMYLORD HAWX. I bought it at an airport bookstore because I didn't have a book to read on the way back. I scanned and saw "Ooh Tom Clancy. He's respectable at least." (Side note, I've also learned that that's just blatantly not true.) I...

    When did Call of Duty become an insult to gamers?

    Because Bobby Kotick is a complete babbling idiot. "?So far, I?ve only seen Battlefield 3 on a PC. I haven?t seen it on a console where the bulk of our business is,? he said to CNBC (see below). ?If it?s just a PC title, as it looks like today, that?s just a small audience to participate,? he...

    I Need Literature

    Neuromancer-William Gibson. Basically it's a book about a drug addicted computer hacker who has to work for suspicious people because his previous employers destroyed his nervous system so he was unable to continue his work. ...yeah. It's a good book though. Snow Crash or The Diamond Age...

    What's your GOTY 2010?

    Since all the mainstream games I played this year are old, I have to go with either VVVVVV, Minecraft, or Just Cause 2. These were the only games that really grabbed me that came out this year.

    Memorable Game quotes:...

    Yeah Sands of Time it is. Personal favorite opening line in a video game, only one that even comes close is the dialog at the beginning of Deus Ex imo

    Memorable Game quotes:...

    Most people think Time is like a river, that flows swift and sure in one direction but I have seen the face of time and can tell you they are wrong. Time is like an ocean in a storm, you may wonder who I am and why I say this ,sit down and I will tell you a tale like none that you have ever...

    What's The Last Movie You've Seen?

    Last movie out of theaters: Angels and Demons. To be honest I'm tired of Dan Brown and symbology solving crimes at this point, so 2.5/5 Last movie in theaters: Zombieland. Spent around 15 minutes too long trying to be a serious movie. Which is to say, it spent 15 minutes being serious. 4.5/5

    Games you don't enjoy, but you still respect. And why you respect them.

    Bioshock: I don't do well with horror-ish games, or serious games at all for that matter, but this one at least made me listen for a while before I got bored and went back to shooting cartoons and zombies. Also Oblivion, although I didn't particularly enjoy it (Probably because I tried to...

    best example of a game that you could call "art"

    Today I Die. This may or may not be qualified as it's a flash game, but it's nice enough. Beyond that I'll just say the obvious Braid.
