The only thing I learned from this thread is that I read books from black authors (as in I found out certain names I associated with the general type:author are now in type:black author (mainly for the purposes of polls such as these)) I really didn't know Alexandre Dumas was black but it...

Why hasn't anyone of you mentioned Kafka yet? I mean some of these things are sad but if you read Kafka you need to do so in the summer and take regular hourly breaks to look at the sun to stave of depression. If you haven't read The Castle or Der Prozess yet and you enjoy being sad sometimes...

It basically works the way that it takes every letter of your passphrasea transforms it into a numerical value depending on its position in the alphabet (a=1, b=2 etc.) and then does the same to the whole message and to encode it adds these numerical values preiodically (basically if n is the...

I may have extrapolated a bit but if I created a theory but something in me would have kept on gnawing me and telling me that it is not quite right (when making assumptions to solve phyysics problems this happens waaay to often) and that I am just being lazy I would do two things. A) I would...

This quote of Einstein merely proves how human he was because God does play dice with the universe. Well you can say that nobody is playing dice with the universe but things do happen randomly and the quantum level does influence your decisions. Your decisions are basically neurons comunicating...

I think that the best example of strong female characters is Once upon a time and by the way what is the opposite of a sausage fest? The only good male character there is Rumplestiltskin/Gold and the others are just one-dimensional (Charming is about as interesting as a waffle, Hookis a...

Well this man proves that it does and if it finds any they get rid of you as fast they can :D (USA this was a joke. You still understand humour, old pal? Buddy-o? You won't invade my country, please? We are in this NATO thingamajig so you shouldn't...)

You definitely should. It is one of the best games that I have played. Even just exploring and filling in your map using triangulation is fun (well actually that is what you do most of the time so it should be).

No, I finished that game ages ago...Miasmata is burned deep into the core of my soul and I shall never forget it :D

I am temtped to like this but it seems to much like a rip-off of Miasmata (haunting piano music, tropical setting, even the goddamn lighter...). On the other hand that game needs more ripping-of. You go guys :D

Now that we got rid of this ridiculous notion (that farmville will make you more bucks than normal games) we only need to wait for a while until we get rid (at least partially) of this social integration fallacy that publishers (yes, I am looking at you, ugly demonspawn of Nyarlhothep that...

The ratio of mage responses in the poll to posts about being a mage shows how introverted we magic users really are. I would like to repeat what others have already said about this poll missing the Necromancer class (I personally like to kill my enemies by spawning undead rather than by...

I seriously hope that my favourite developer won't let me down on this one because I was getting pretty excited about the naval combat and trade mechanics (I would bring Brittany or Venice to rule a major portion of the world (again :D) Oh well, better uphold Yahtzee's commandments about hyping...
