    Any Escapists in a Band or Have Any Crazy Talents? (Shameless self promotion)

    I play bass guitar and guitar, and I was bassist in multiple bands in high school, none of which, regrettably, lasted past graduation. I'm branching out and starting to do things on my own musically, I don't have anything to show for it, yet.

    The Escapist PenPal Program!

    I'd be down to try it out, as well.

    If You Were a Boss In a Video Game What Would You Be?

    I would be a boss with a set weakness, easily discoverable attack patterns, high defense, and moderate health. The difference is that each of my attacks requires a half-hour long cutscene that cannot be skipped, and after I drop below 10% health they increase to one hour, and below 2% I have...

    Renaming Earth, because its a boring name.

    I am nth-ing the choice "Midgard". Why use Latin for eeeeeeeverything? Let's use a different language for once. Also, the sun's official name is Sol and the Earth has no official name, but is also referred to by its Latin name, Terra.

    Holy crap, Supernovas!

    Both "supernovas" and "supernovae" are acceptable plural forms of "supernova." Anywho, to those raising questions about distance and time and whatnot: it is around 38 million light-years distant, meaning that the supernova itself had occurred around 38 million years ago, and we are just now...

    Holy crap, Supernovas!

    So, this is still developing, but I heard earlier today that a star in galaxy M95 is in the early stages of going supernova. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2012/03/19/breaking-possible-supernova-in-nearby-spiral-m95/ Nothing too spectacular yet, but it's just getting...

    After nearly three decades.... I realized something today.

    Stars never fight in Star Wars, nor do they travel in Star Trek.

    So, what encourages your faith in the human species?

    Things that reinforce faith in humanity happen around us every day. Misanthropy solves nothing, look around and see the good in the world every once in a while.

    What movie is this from?

    Dear God, thank you so much. You win all of the internet. All of it. For real. Thank you.

    What movie is this from?

    I have seen stills from this movie everywhere and I cannot for the life of me figure out what it's from. Please help, Escapists! I've been searching for *years* now. Nevermind the little caption underneath, it's a re-caption joke thing from somewhere. http://i.imgur.com/BiGVN.png

    Poll: Favourite LOTR Fellowship Member

    It's an incredibly difficult choice. I would fall upon my knees before Aragorn OR Boromir, and even actorwise, it's an impossible choice between Ian McKellen and Sean Bean. Ultimately, I'd probably vote for Aragorn, simply because I think he's a complete badass.

    Ever been trolled by an inanimate object?

    The only thing I will say here is USB cables. If you possess more than one USB cable, drive, ANYTHING, or have to switch anything like that out even occasionally, then you know what I'm talking about.

    Game endings that just ruined almost the entire game for you.

    Medal of Honor: Rising Sun. You jump into the rear gunner's position of a Japanese fighter on an aircraft carrier and just strafe it until the screen fades to white. What.

    Games that made you cry

    I say this in every thread like this. In Ace Combat 5, Wardog is doing a ceremonial flyover of a stadium in November City when they are attacked by Yuktobanian fighters that actually turn out to be Belkan or whatever, but anyway, in the battle, Chopper is hit. He can't regain control of...
