    Most Overrated Movie and Why

    As much as Avatar and Twilight give me a headache, I can't really say they are the MOST overrated movies. Outside of forum threads about bad movies, people don't even really talk about Avatar anymore; It's already been forgotten, and I'm fairly confident Twilight will share that fate, once...

    Stand-up Comedians

    Izzard is great, as is Lewis C.K., Doug Stanhope, Jimmy Carr, been watching a lot of Tim Minchin's work lately too. As far as least favourite.... J.B. Smoove, just because he seems to be in everything I see lately, and I don't like his comedy at all. Plus his name is dumb.

    Valuable skills that video-games have taught us.

    This has happened to me so many times. Between MtG, D&D and video games, I recognize tons of random words. It blows me away how much of that vocabulary I take for granted and assume everyone knows: "What do you mean 'what's a paladin?!?!?'"

    Poll: Trolls: Lulz or FUUUU-

    I had written up quite a lengthy rant about trolls in WoW and Rift, but it was very wall-of-texty and barely coherent. So I'll try and sum it up. I don't really like trolling, but if you're gonna be an obnoxious AW with no regard for anyone else, please try and be funny. Otherwise it just...

    Poll: Getting sick of the Ian Dorsch ZP theme

    Sounds like you solved the problem. Honestly though, theme music isn't really an integral part of the show - it's certainly not what I tune in for - and like mentioned above, using a different song each episode is not only tedious, but probably gets complicated legally. That being said...

    what do you do to calm down.

    I find that listening to music doesn't help me much; if I'm already in a crappy mood, I don't really have much desire to listen to 'nice' music, and all my angry metal just works me up more. Playing music however, usually calms me down fairly quickly. Especially banging on the drums.

    Why does America fear/distrust it's government?

    I don't think people are supposed to trust their governments, to be honest. I'm pretty sure some DWG had a famous quote about that (not just the one from V for Vendetta, but a legit one). Not saying everyone should have the tinfoil hats on, but a healthy dose of scrutiny is good. It's...

    Your nerd/geek moments?

    I remember sitting in the theater when I first saw the trailer for Watchmen. I wasn't sure what it was a trailer for....until I saw the Owl Ship float out of the water, and then I let out a high pitched 'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! ohmygodhmygod!!' The confused look I got from my date...

    Poll: Should I get Rift or WOW?

    Speaking from my personal experience, if you only have a month to play, I wouldn't bother with either. Both are fine MMO's (take that as you will), but a month isn't really enough time to 'get' it. You would either get hooked and your schooling would suffer, or you would stop after a month...

    Popular Games that have Negative Impacts.

    Just from reading the title, I had instantly though 'WoW'. But you already covered that one, and CoD... So I'm struggling to think of another big one. I've been browsing the app store for a month, and almost every game is a free-to-play social gaming experience, with increasingly necessary...

    The absence of heroic examples

    I think maybe the question answered itself kinda... the 'era of heroes' might be done. There's just too much going on in our world - with almost instant connection to every 'newsworthy' story that happens across the globe, there isn't time for any one heroic act to gather enough praise and...
