    Worst movie ever

    On a related note, this film might just be worse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_dev_adam In short, the Mexican wrestler El Santo and Turkish Captain America vs Criminal Turkish Spiderman, who looks nothing like the actual Spiderman, demonstrates no superpowers at all and at one point...

    Nominate your ideal US Presidential candidate

    Potentially the greatest candidate/VP duo of all time: National security, universal healthcare and First Lady Sasha. Oh yes.

    Explain your profile picture.

    <----- Part of an incredibly underrated painting of Ivan the Terrible of Russia after killing his son while in the middle of a psychotic episode. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/43/112471004_31fb179552.jpg?v=0 Always thought it was a powerful and disturbing image, particularly if you look...

    Most satisfying noise in a game.

    Original Doom shotgun blast. (Not the double-barreled one) Easily my favourite gaming shotgun of all time. By extension, original Doom shotgun combined with the thud of a dead pinky demon hitting the floor. I can't think of many things more satisfying to listen to.

    Stupidly long titles.

    "Can Hieronymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?" (obscure 1960s film, once described as the most self-indulgent motion picture of all time)

    Craziest glitch you have ever found.

    Another GTA: San Andreas one: I once turned on the flying car cheat while being chased by the police in order to both escape and defy all laws of physics and engineering for shits and giggles, but crashed into a farmhouse before I'd managed to lift off. The "cars float away when hit" cheat was...

    The stupidest way you have hurt yourself.

    I've never genuinely injured myself, but I might have narrowly avoided doing so when I was 10 or 11- during a game of rounders (a british baseball-type game- I don't think non-UK people are that familiar with it, though I might be wrong) in PE class, I was running around various bases and...

    Underappreciated Gems

    Agreed. Excellent 2D platformer that's been largely forgotten due to being a PC-only game in 1998, since there's never been much of a market for PC platformers and 2D games would have seemed backward at the time. Pity. The first game was good too. Both games admittedly copied some aspects of...

    And the Oscar For Best Digital Acting goes to...

    The Legacy of Kain series is probably worth mentioning here, since it hasn't been brought up already. Consistently good voice acting since the beginning of the series in 1996*, and the character animations in Soul Reaver 2 struck me as exceptionally good for a game released 2-3 years before...

    Oddest Ad Campaign for a video game

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=mhBEZMe_1i0&feature=related Or at least, the opening to this 8-minute promotional video for the Sega CD, which strikes me as something the director of Pink Floyd's The Wall might have made while really, really desperate for cash. 0:44-1:34 = ????????? On a...

    just how weird are you?

    -Early on in school, I would occasionally write about graphic violence for the sake of being awkward when I didn't like the teacher. I distinctly remember writing a few sentences about being dismembered by aliens and buried in various places around my county as a form of protest. -By age 10...
