    Poll: Which would you rather: Ride a dragon, or transform into a dragon

    If I were a human who could turn into a dragon, hell yes. If I were a dragon who could turn into a human, hell yes. If I were a human who could ride a dragon, eh, sure, why not. Nothing quite as awesome as running around looking like a normal person and meeting a couple of guys who're up...

    Characters you hate with a passion.

    Kvothe from the Kingkiller Chronicles. Tragic, since I think that Patrick Rothfuss is a talented writer, but just about everything from that series sickens me. Kvothe is the main source of my hate, though. He is impossibly intelligent, supremely talented, in just about every field of...

    Let's make the most original topic for discussion of all time!

    5. Batman: Arkham City 4. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (SWTOR would be here, if it didn't pad it's length and charge monthly) 3. Neverwinter Nights and Neverwinter Nights 2 WITH MODULES 2. Skyrim 1. BG2: SoA and VTM: Bloodlines. I really can't decide which I like more.

    Poll: Werewolf or Vampire?

    NWoD Gangrel vampires. Best of both worlds.

    Poll: Could BioWare make a good Star Trek RPG?

    Hey, hey now- DA2 was the choice between CG and LE. Git yo shit straight, son. OT: Probably, but I'd imagine that after working on ME and TOR for so long, they would want to do something other than scifi for a bit. Maybe... a DA 3? One that doesn't ultimately suck? Also, what exactly do...

    Poll: Dragon Age II

    Buy it and see. There are a ton of storytelling and mechanical problems, but its worth at least one playthrough; two, if you get it on PC and mod it. Not as good as Origins, but not as bad as a million other things.

    Who is your favorite antagonist?

    Hummm. I like Jon Irenicus from Baldur's Gate 2. He is so easy to hate, and yet some small part of me almost feels sorry for him (even though he caused his own downfall). As for character's I enjoy hating completely, anything from Phoenix Wright, One Piece and Fairy Tail. They are very...

    Most memorable opening line in a game

    Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. "I wanna show you something..."

    ................

    There is no good reason to end your own life- if there is, it would be along the lines of sacrificing yourself to protect others or merciful death when the only alternative is constant agony. Losing your computer is not one of those things. Judging by the fact that the individual's parents...

    Why bother making 'friends'?

    My experience with miserable teenage years- stop being sad, and be awesome instead. True story. No, I'm not being a smart ass- this actually works. The girl I loved told me one day when I was particularly down in the dumps to forget that I and the world around me WOULD die, and only...

    Favorite book series

    The magic system in Eragon is a ripoff of True Name magic (fom D&D, Earthsea and I don't even know how many other books/settings) and Psionics (general psychic abilities; the mind probing, the telekinesis, the mind EVERYTHING). Also, despite what the books say, it does not take an equal amount...

    Favorite book series

    The Dresden Files, hands down. The characters are flawed and capable of mistake, yet absolutely ooze life. The settings are so well described that you can see them in your mind's eye, as if you remember them first hand. And the narration makes me picture Harry sitting there, in some post...

    What bullshit have you convinced people was true?

    Convinced a friend I was a vampire. He refused to let me into his house for a week.

    Skyrim not as good as everyone says?

    My relatively low opinion of the game compared to the excitement I felt before release is likely due to the fact that my computer sucks and I have a terrible FPS problem.
