    A Terabyte of Piracy Ain't Art

    I'm usually opposed to the whole "not art" art, but this is one of the rare cases where it makes sense to me. You see, that little external disk filled to the brim with pirated stuff is kinda like... compare it to putting a typical american sixpack of beer on display and call it art. Say...

    Poll: Which did you prefer, Morrowind or Oblivion

    I was (and still kinda am) a big fan of Nordic culture, but Skyrim just looks like Oblivion still. There's nothing that 'pops' in the current screenshots. I'll just wait until it comes out to be the judge, but seeing as I haven't played Oblivion much either (though to be fair, I'm still...

    Poll: Which did you prefer, Morrowind or Oblivion

    I liked Morrowind for its diversity, uniqueness and adventures. Also, randomness. Kinda what Dwarf Fortress is famous for. You just never know when you're gonna stumble upon a great piece of armor or weapon. Sure, you could follow the FAQs and get this or that piece, but it's just so much more...

    Most emotional songs in games

    Also, while browsing my favourites I stumbled on the song of my childhood. I can't remember the countless times I played Raystorm, and the years that passed since I last played it but after stumbling upon the OST by chance I knew every song by heart. Such a good game and good music.

    Most emotional songs in games

    Also, badly as it may have been recieved, FFXII had FANTASTIC music. Here's the Gilgamesh tune remixed: Also, very good thread, keep it up.

    Also, I can't believe the Play! Symphony hasn't been posted yet. The beginning is just so nice. Check the other related videos for more awesome music.

    Most emotional songs in games

    I think this one is much more emotional since it was in all the battles. Just hearing it you remember all the goddamn battles and near wins and losses you had with the colossi: Anyway, when I just hear "emotional video game song" I instantly, always think of this one: (live opera...

    I'm a F*cking idiot!

    That is one awesome fucking school.

    I'm a F*cking idiot!

    I once had an annoying sharp little piece of eyebrow hair that annoyed me very much and I was determined to pull it out with my fingers during class. When I finally finished and looked into a mirror I realized I had literally removed half of my eyebrow with my bare fingers. Those things take...

    Bring your own booze?

    Whaat, where do you live? And mixing jager with red bull makes me cringe, cola or peach ice tea works best. I can't believe people around the world know so little about drinks :) In Slovenia, everyone basically knows what and how to drink, from the lowliest geeks, to the nasty alcoholics...

    There are now 649 Pokemon.

    Okay, what? Almost all of them are just repeats of old pokemon. I see machop, machoke and machamp there, paras, that coral pokemon, zubat, golbat, hitmonchan and hitmonlee (the two pokemons wearing GIS, what??), basucally all of them are just repeats. Please tell me you see it too.

    Gaming is truly a waste of time

    I strongly disagree. Working and talking to friends is far from wasting time. Then what is time not wasted by your definition?

    Gaming is truly a waste of time

    Well, of course it is. So is reading books (some are excepted from that though) or watching movies. Or doing just about anything else unproductive and fun in your free time. And if practicing your instruments seems like a chore to you, then you're not enjoying music and should therefore...

    Any Bilingual Escapists here?

    So if I speak Slovenian, Croatian and English as fluent as if they were all my native language, and then Italian not as good, but still good, and understand Spanish since it's so similar to Italian, and speak a litle bit of German, does that make me a linguist god? I'm very interested in...

    Smoking (Cigarettes)

    But it's still your child and you'd like that him/her lives a healthy life. So I wouldn't freak out and I wouldn't yell at them if I see them smoking, since it would definitely have the opposite effect. I'd rather have a chat with them while they grow up and teach them the consequences of...
