    Best value for money game ever?

    Probably the game of Life. Been going straight some 30+ years now. Plus, I get to play all these other sweet games and...OK that's just dumb. It's gotta be Orange Box, and if you don't agree...that's OK.

    Life imprisonment for Self Defense

    Hey, besides, once California goes bankrupt they'll just let everyone out anyway, right?

    Life imprisonment for Self Defense

    I'm on the fence. Yeah, the first degree was too much, but the guy could have sat in his room with the gun and only shot them if they came at him again. But, from his perspective, he could possibly be dead or crippled from these people, so he could be better off this way than if he hadn't of...

    Poll: American Government

    Read "Hamilton's Curse" to get an idea of what the government was intended to look like, and how it got to be the leviathan it is today. The book will make you very angry...

    Poll: Is Punk Rock Still Alive?

    I'm a huge NOFX fan, but have lost touch with the punk scene in recent years. Not sure where it's all at now, but I drag out my Screeching Weasel, Face to Face, Misfits, and Rancid (do they still qualify?) stuff out regularly. But hey, not much of a punk atmosphere in Indiana to begin with...

    Big Daddy

    I am cautiously optimistic. At first I screamed in horror at the idea, but the fact that you can ""adopt" little sisters is compelling. I look forward to it, so long as there are no more damn sneaky dentists hiding behind me in the next one, that bastard ruined my favorite skivvies...

    Poll: Deadliest Warrior..?

    Ah, that show sucks. The breakdown of the weapons is pretty good, but the hokey play acting fight at the end is so stupid I feel embarrassed for them. I had to chuckle over "gladiator meets apache in the forest". Besides, it's totally out of context. Many warriors depended on unit cohesion...

    Warhammer 40k - The Books

    OK, so I'm reading the horus heresy now, does it matter what books I move to next? It all seems very confusing, so if it helps to read book A before book B, I would like to know. Oh, and I love Legion, that book kicked ass. I've tried to find a chronological order of the books online, with no...

    Poll: Which Space Marine Do you like?

    My only exposure to warhammer is the horus heresy series, and it is damn good. I am a huge fan of the universe, and look forward to expanding out into games and additional books. Halo leaves a bitter taste in my mouth after one sweet game and two shitty ones. Starcraft space marines are...

    Poll: King vs. Lovecraft

    Lovecraft, since even King would acknowledge his superiority. Besides, Lovecraft was a forefather of the genre, and was way ahead of his time. King benefits from the foundation set down by him, among a few select others. I have read some of King's stuff and was never really satisfied with any...

    Getting a 360 - What games?

    Orange Box is an awesome bargain at $20, just for TF2. Mass Effect has been my favorite 360 game yet, so pick it up. Download Catan off of Live as well as Braid. And Bioshock, don't forget Bioshock...

    Should the atomic bombs been dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

    Would it have been acceptable to split Japan with another Iron Curtain like Berlin? Stalin was salivating to get his hands on Japan. Besides, it's already been said that civilians would have been killed in droves had a ground invasion taken place. More than the atomic bombs? We will never...
