    Some of these Olympic Sports...

    My biggest problem with this thread is how obvious it is that the thread poster is American. Just because a sport isn't popular in America doesn't mean it's a nobody sport. I know skeleton and Luge is huge in Germany and other European countries, and curling is second only to hockey in Canada...

    Cut-scenes (you wish were playable)

    The second cd in Xenogears, and the majority of the first cd. Enough said.

    Dr Who Easter Special

    I gave up on dr who making sense when they based a whole episode around the impossibility of a planet being in orbit around a black hole. In fact even if your one micron outside of the event horizon it's still possible to achieve a stable orbit. You would have to be moving freakishly fast, but...

    Protesters that hurt more than help

    While I understand completely that this is a joke, I would like to point out that this is a perfectly good example of exactly what we are discussing here. For your information though, a well placed head shot has a tendency to escalate things instead of end them. World war one for example.

    Why does the universe specifically hate Scientolgy.

    Christianity was founded by a guy who preached forgiveness and reconciliation, Buddhism was founded by a guy who saw suffering in his world and wanted to learn how to stop it, Islam was founded by a guy who saw an oppressive rule over his people and wanted to stop it, Scientology is founded by a...

    Good Samaritan Being Sued

    In Canada the Good Samaritan Act is a provincial matter and subject to change depending on which province you are in. I'd assume The US is the same with each state having different laws. Also it is not one law but instead an umbrella term for any law that protects rescuer from suit from a...

    seriously, its the end of the world

    It is amazing to me how completely and totally ignorant of black holes people are, they are not by any stretch of the imagination cosmic destroyers. If we were to right now replace our sun with a black hole with the same mass. We wouldn't get sucked in. Only real issue is surviving the process...

    If Jesus came back, what game would he play?

    Jesus would own at spore. Surely nobody would know what to do once his creatures started questioning their own existence.

    Yes, I do like turn-base, and I will tell you why.

    Perfect general is turn based strategy perfected. It will forever hold a place in my heart in my top ten favorite games ever. Oh and yes it was made in 1990. So yea I love turn based games, that's cause there is much more emphasis on thinking instead of reacting. I'm good at thinking and bad...

    Games that bore you the most...

    I'm going to say xenogears. Yes it would be a great interactive storybook or a movie if it weren't for the fact that you had too keep mashing the x key just to go on. For me though the story was way too deep and needlessly complicated. I can understand how some might like it but when you mix...

    Most disappointing game?

    I may be a bit old by now but I would have to say Xenogears for the PSX. I'm one of those weird people that actually likes jrpg's but this game just went way way way to far.

    If EA Launched a Console

    quite simply put, and EA buyout is the kiss of death. If you follow any of their previous acquisitions you will notice that they milk their products completely before tossing them away and buying someone else. I have yet to see a single franchise that has benefited from an EA buyout. Westwood...

    Poll: Star Wars vs Star Trek

    I find it funny how many people here have never even seen any star trek and are still arguing in favor of star wars. In my opinion your opinion is not valid unless you have at least seen a majority of what each side has to offer. That said here are a few points. If star wars can use the force...
