I have been using a MS Natural/Ergonomic Keyboard for about a decade now, so I'm not quite sure how to answer the flat or slanted question. Whenever I try to use a standard keyboard, my hands feel really cramped together and I get pretty frustrated with it. I type significantly slower on...

I've walked out of two movies - Dungeonmaster,I believe it was called (saw it a long time ago - in the 80s - fantasy D&D wanna-be) and Ace Ventura 2: Pet Detective. Those two films were just so stupid, I felt like my IQ was dropping for every minute I continued to watch. The more amusing thing...

I neither drink alcohol nor do (recreational) drugs. I can count on one hand the number of drinks I have had in my life, and I'm in my 40s now. My primary reason for both is that I like to be in control of myself and my actions at all times. Additionally, like many here, I have never liked the...

I've been a voracious reader over the years in many genres. Fantasy and sci-fi are my favorites, but I've also read a lot in other genres as well. Some of the series I like: -- The Elenium, The Tamuli, The Belgariad and The Mallorean series by David Eddings (absolutely love the characters)...

I, on the other hand, have no interest or intention of playing MP, so for me their pedigree is not promising. But then, different people like different kinds of games. If it's MP-focused, I'll give it a pass. If it's SP-focused, you'll give it a pass. No matter what they do with this game, there...

I came across this name once at an old job: Bich Ho I know it's a Vietnamese name, and no clue what it translates as. However, I feel for that person since they live in the US where it is an unfortunate nomenclature. Actually knew another guy named Dung as well. It's interesting how some...

All Pixar movies rock, but my favorite, hands down, is The Incredibles. I am very eager for the sequel, which will hopefully include the same voice cast.

Another point to be noted in this is that having tattoos tends to cause problems with the general public here in Japan, or at least with the older section of it. (This older section is massive and very powerful in graying Japan.) This often leads to "regular" people refusing to do business in...

Not a fan of achievements at all. As some have already mentioned, they have taken away cool options we used to have, like cheat codes/devices, and they've forced our saves to be locked. I also find "bragging rights" to be one of the single lamest, emptiest reasons for anything. Why must...

I currently live in a suburb of Osaka, Japan, but in my heart I still call Houston, Texas, USA my home. Hopefully I'll get back there some day! (I've been here in Japan for about 6 years.)

I have to go with SW:TOR first (assuming it makes a November release), followed very closely by Uncharted 3. Love the universe and characters in both. I guess I'd put Skyrim in third. I used to love the TES series (Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind), but for me, Oblivion was a let-down. I...

Man, don't know how the hell I missed *that*! And it was almost exactly two years ago, too - guess I am a little out of touch after living in Japan the past five years! Bummer, now I'll never know how that story will turn out. Hopefully, Salvatore still has quite a few years (and books) left...

Actually, Anakha's busy at home with Aphrael/Danae and Ehlana. Sure wish Eddings would write a sequel to those two series - would love to see how Danae / Talen turns out! OT: The game does look mighty interesting to me; I've always enjoyed Salvatore's books.
