    Alright guys, whos up to the challenge? What's your favorite romantic comedy?

    A lot of what I would suggest has been listed already, so I'll just add True Romance... The Wiki [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Romance] page for it lists "...elements of black comedy and romance...", so I'm going to say it fits!

    Natural 20: Pillow Fort Adventures

    Sounds like someone's attempt to break out the *shudder* "grapple" rules... For shame!

    Escapist's Code of Ethics: Why is it being ignored for ad revenue today?

    I can confirm I'm seeing the "How Games Train Your Brain" ad for the article, just as the Op noted. As well, I'm seeing what looks like the actual "article" underneath each and every other article I click on. For example, I click on the "Avengers Assemble - Take My Money Pilot" video and...

    Alternatives to the Glut of Metroidvania-Style Platformers

    My immediate take on the "reverse progression" would be something like this: Our fearless hero sets out to clean up the land from the baddies. Along the way s/he must take out the local underlings using a specific item/weapon/whatever before moving to the next zone; standard fare. The problem...

    8 Game of Thrones Mods that Take You to Westeros

    Just saw an article around something similar the other day... Where did that go... Ah! http://westeroscraft.com/ May not be considered a mod, but still pretty impressive what people can accomplish there!

    Yes, Women in Dragon Age Could Use Longswords

    I remember playing 'Pool of Radiance' where a females maximum strength score was 18(50) whereas a males was 18(100)... This was back when the rules were that if you had an 18 strength, you then had a percentile added to for another level of modifier... This was back in the AD&D days, I believe.

    Watch Star Wars Episode VII's First Official Trailer Right Here

    I leave it to Colbert to explain all that needs to be known on the matter... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiabUnjU84w&feature=player_embedded

    "Dear Customer, it is my pleasure to inform you..." (A Venting Thread)

    Having done my time earlier in my life at the house that Ronald built I guess I can answer this. It's not an exact script, per se, but there is constant pressure to "upsell" customers. You are ALWAYS to ask the customer if they would like fries with that, something to drink, an apple pie for...

    Online dating syndrome.

    Ah, this could be something else then... The nature of online dating means that people are often chatting with multiple people. It's rather sad, but I found a lot of people wouldn't bother letting you know that they were no longer interested, or were focusing on someone else, etc. Maybe...

    Poll: What weapons will you use in a zombie apocalypse?

    Nice. Just because it's possibly the end of the world doesn't mean we shouldn't consider entertainment value first. I approve of this message.

    Online dating syndrome.

    I've done my time on online dating sites over the years; found it was a nice way to meet new people in new cities. Sure, I've had my moments of disappointment when I didn't get a response, but life goes on. Important thing I found was not to get too hung up on it. It could be for any number of...

    Dodgy Looking Interview E-Mail

    I know this is a common tactic used for door-to-door sales type jobs. There is a ridiculously high turnover, and they are often rather vague and misleading in their job descriptions. All in all how does it hurt to call and go for an interview? If it turns out to be something you aren't...

    Fixing Misconceptions: Pickup trucks, SUVs, and muscle cars

    Really? I'm 6'4 and had no problem with leg room... I even knew a guy who was 6'8 who owned one, too. Further proof, a 6'2, 245 lb linebacker owns one without problem: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/31/sports/football/31giants.html?_r=1

    Hook up xbox 360 to monitor?

    Yes, you can run only the HDMI for video. Technically the HDMI carries both audio and video, but it's not a problem if you run the audio separately. You just need to ensure the Xbox connector has a separate audio out. The other option would be if the monitor has an audio out port. If so you...

    status quo (a dating problem)

    Is your question what to tell people if they ask if you are a couple? Just say "We are what we are; we don't worry so much about labels and such." So it may mean you can't update your Facebook status as saying you are in a relationship. Who cares? You love her, she loves you. That's what...
