    Top Five Favourite Movies

    In no particular order, and not set in stone: Finding Nemo The Shawshank Redemption Dredd Serenity But my favourite film above all else is definitely Twelve Angry Men (the 1957 original).

    Alien not scary (spoilers maybe)

    I would chime in but Daystar basically nailed it. I went into Alien: Isolation not expecting to be scared. Outlast didn't scare me, neither did Amnesia. A cool, accurate-to-the-movie experience? Sure. Scary? Nah. One hour in, and I was sweating. Then I realized the Alien wasn't even a...

    What are you nerds reading? :D

    I have a list of novels I have to read for my course at university, and there have been some interesting ones so far. Currently I'm reading William Kennedy's 'Legs', about the 1930s gangster Jack Diamond. I'm loving it so far, it's equal parts tragic and horrifying. I would also recommend...

    Your favourite game < 100 megabytes

    The original, free version of Cave Story weighs in at 4MB. One of the best platformer-shooters ever made, with some of the catchiest music ever made - by a single man.

    Music you listen to while playing games?

    I don't normally listen to music while playing games, although recently I've taken to catching up on YouTube videos while doing busywork in games (getting all the collectibles in Murdered: Soul Suspect, doing side missions in Watch Dogs, etc). That said, I usually shotgun my MP3 player and...

    What anime got you into anime?

    Well, my first animes were probably Pokemon and Dragonball Z, which makes it even weirder that what got me 'into' anime was High School of the Dead. Not a great series by any means, but it was the first I bought and watched on a whim and everything spiralled from me. However, I'd say what...

    Favourite Voice of All Time

    You know, being a voice acting aficionado, I cold say any number of people. Current big names like Troy Baker, Nolan North, and Courtnee Draper. Classics of the form like Mel Blanc. Slightly lesser known people like Brittany Karbowski, David Matranga, J Michael Tatum. But goddammit, every...

    Recommend me an anime

    +1 recommendation for Black Lagoon, one of my top 5 favorites of all time. However, there are quite a few pretty grim scenes and arcs, so you might want to tread carefully. That said, most of the action is pretty over the top and grindhouse-like - part of what makes the series special is that...

    Poll: Should I even bother with Mass Effect?

    All three games, 100%, no question. I actually just finished replaying the series with someone else watching so that I could share the experience, and it was a hell of a ride even the second time around. Despite all the complaints about combat being clunky and ending being bad, in the end...

    Today's "Recommend an Anime" thread, brought to you by Zhukov.

    Black Lag-DAMN IT. Welcome to the party, pal. I recommend Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood for an action adventure mood, and Clannad for a sissy baby (read: emotionally powerful) mood. Now, I could go over why I think they're so great, or I could try and increase the traffic to my Wordpress...

    Which games would you love to be able to play for the first time again?

    Mass Effect, all day every day. I still remember that feeling, booting up a game I bought second hand and had no idea about, then getting to the main menu and being greeted by THIS: ...and thinking "Wow, this is going to be special." And it was. I still get a little emotional whenever...

    What's your favorite video game of all time?

    A difficult question to answer, since I have so many favourite games... I'm gonna have to go with Persona 4 Golden, though, based mostly on the fact that it's the game I own the most merchandise of. Also because it's probably the best JRPG I've ever played - easily accessible and addictive to...

    Poll: Would you uphold the Masquerade?

    I wish, that I could really tell you All the things that happened to me Or all that I have seen Err, yeah, I've been listening to too much Genesis recently. But much like the song suggests, I'd keep it dark. Humans being humans, any normal person would think you were a nutjob or worse. I...

    Well that's a welcome surprise!

    I found out that The Raid 2 got a teaser trailer. I lead a very dull life. Here it is, and it's AWESOME. It's been a long time since I've been quite so excited for a film.
