    Poll: Hypocrisy in Christmas beliefs?

    Is it hypocritical to actively participate in something your against? Yes, yes it is. However, I would like to add that this problem is completely trivial and self inflicted, its not worth further consideration.

    Recommend Me (sorta) Some Historical Fiction

    He's already been mentioned but I think it bears repeating, Bernard Cornwell's stories are excellent and very thoroughly researched. I'd recommend Cornwell's Grail Quest. (a series of books about an English longbow man in the Hundred Years War)

    Poll: Would You Push The Button? (Moral Dilemma)

    Of course I would push it, I'm at a carnival game I'm not going to take anything the guy said seriously. And, I sure as hell don't believe in whatever curse he seems to be threatening my family with.

    The USA... why is your media so scared of sex compared to the UK.

    Doesn't the UK literally censor all internet porn? This kinda seems like the pot calling the kettle black. Both countries have an unhealthy taboo of sex and nudity.

    Why is western animation just for kids movies?

    Well I'd argue that voice actors are incapable of improvisation. Not due of a lack of talent but because if any scene was improvised/adapted animators would need to re-work the scene to make the character's mouth and body language accommodate the improvised performance. I suppose its possible...

    Man steals motorbike at gunpoint, then is shot by a police officer [Graphic Video]

    Let's dial back the jubilation somewhat, a man is dead. I'm not going criticize the police, I wasn't there and maybe they did the best they could. But, when a man is shot to death in the street it is far ideal scenario and certainly not cause to celebrate. He did not face a trial, while you may...

    Why is western animation just for kids movies?

    A real actor cannot only capture the emotion of a scene better than a animated figure, but they offer their own artistic interpretation. Some of the most memorable lines in all of cinematic history have been improvised. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTFQBHBeleE In short, if you can afford...

    Recommend me something to watch.

    Edit: I didn't read your original post, before making a comment, so I did not realize you were looking for anime. Anyways, Ergo Proxy is by far my favorite anime (and one the only ones I've ever enjoyed.) It has a bit of romance in it, but it certainly isn't the focus point of the story.

    A game you want that has never been made yet.

    A game with a story equal to that of a great film or book. Even the greatest stories in videogames like Bioshock or Silent Hill 2 are only the equivalent of a mediocre book.

    Poll: Transhumanism: How Far Would You Take It?

    Well since minor augmentations comes with enhanced physical abilities and immunity to diseases and the others don't seem to offer anything additional besides looking like monster I'll go with that one.

    Games you love that nobody ever talks about

    City of Heroes, may it rest in peace. One of the only MMO's that managed to keep me interested. Through "sidekicking" you could always play with your friends regardless of level difference. The mission architect system allowed you to get to the max level within a day or two. In short, unlike...

    Will there ever be another World War?

    Yes, and I know how it will begin. Germany will attack Belgium to bypass French defenses. Russia and the Western Europe will become unlikely allies and Italy will simply be incompetent.

    How would the world be different if. . . dinosaurs never went extinct?

    Nazis would rule the Earth from atop their dino-compatriots. Thats just science.
