'Fucking combos! Now my thumb hurts.'

Shakespeare in Love winning Best Picture in a year with Saving Private Ryan in the running. But to be honest, I didn't watch it at the time. A year ago or so I rented that turd from Blockbuster based on its Oscar haul, and I've never forgiven it. I'd rather watch Eurotrip.

Though it never happened in the end, I was trying to start playing WoW. I wanted a name that was in the vein of something like 'Wyld Stallyns' from Bill & Ted. I was waking and baking a lot back then, so went with Waykunbayk. But everyone seems to pronounce it Way-kun-bay-kay, which is fine...

Memories! So good. I found the story about the industrial war nation much more moving than almost any other anime I've seen (admittedly, outside of the Ghibli canon, not a huge amount). There's that one scene where the train doors open, revealing the workers, crammed in, all identical. It was...

I'll recommend Wise Children by Angela Carter. It's hilarious and stunningly written - really, really good. Also, Oryx and Crake & The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood are wonderful dystopian novels, thought-provoking, imaginative and, again, excellently written. Maybe it's a bit of an...

I don't really think any tips can help you here. The only sound-ish piece of advice you could get would be don't be afraid to fail. There isn't some platonic, idealised Male to whom you have to aspire; it's our mistakes, our particular habits, our idiosyncratic ways of talking and expressing...

I'm actually pretty gutted that the next gen is coming along already. I say 'already' because I've only just joined this generation - recently got a PS3 after 5 years with a Wii. Half a decade with Nintendo has made the last couple of months with my PS3 seem like a trip into the future. PS4...

I'd add an L-shaped, 3-piece block to Tetris. Kind of defeats the entire point of Tetris but it'd make the game completely fresh.

Surely the American way is to allow people to celebrate, and allow people to disapprove of it? The fact is: not much has changed. Extremists are driven by seeing international forces interfering in their country, 'accidentally' killing THOUSANDS OF CIVILIANS; seeing foreign products and...

It probably doesn't qualify as a weapon, but on one episode of Malcolm in the Middle they set off a firework that turned night into day for, like, 30 seconds. That could be quite painful.

I'd probably go for 'World'. Doubt I could get bored easily.

Fair enough - I try and be objective but I'm a fan >.< you know Yes, there have always been pop groups, but a rock n' roll band with no lead singer was a curiosity. Even in The Beatles time, as it still is, rock n' roll bands typically had a front man. It was the convention. You're...

'None of their songs I really like' - I think a large amount of people would agree with you nowadays (though I do wonder whether you've listened to enough Beatles. 'None' implies you've listened to them all and find them all unappealing). Personally, it's not an opinion I hope the majority will...

...eh? =/ So you believe in 'an eye for an eye' AND 'turn the other cheek'? If you can somehow worm a compromise out of that utter contradiction, I will applaud you. (No offence to you personally, just your black-and-white reasoning.) OT: As long as it's dry, I won't get stabby.
