    Dutch culture from the viewpoint of an immigrant. (warning: rant, some swearing)

    As a fellow "Zeeuw" I'm sorry. Yeah I know the racism sucks, but I noticed it's at it's worst in small towns. In bigger city's it's a lot better. As far as I've noticed. Not that it makes it any better though. I hope you'll have a better time soon though.

    Why Movie Adaptations of Games Suck

    ?A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.? That's what I got from the article. Yathzee seems to like Antoine de Saint-Exupery, or has played too much Civilization...

    Recurring game arguments you've noticed

    The Obsidian sequel versus it's predecessor argument. There are always people who prefer the Story of the one over the story of the other. Obsidian bugs versus Bethesda bugs. Probably caused by fallout. Oh and I like the way this thread is just beginning to be a thread with random gaming...

    2011 in Music / Albums of the Year

    This was a good year for progressive metal. The new Dream Theater album wasn't that great but Arch/Matheos album "Sympathetic Resonance" was awesome. But if that wasn't enough Leprous produced a good album by the name of "bilateral". Also the new cunninlynguists (rap)album was...

    If you could turn into 3 things?

    If you wanted to rock, why didn't you pick Earth? Or was that the pun I just missed? Anyway 1. Vampir Because China Mièville still makes them cool. 2. A shapeshifter As in, I can go into any body I would like. Though I would have to posses them to do it. 3. A dragon It's...

    your hipster thing

    Well, I don't like Bethesda games. (I used too, but that's all past) I like to read some childrens books. I like fantasy, but Lord of the Rings sucks (and all imitators), Also China Mièville is an awesome writer. I like to make people think I listen to really weird music (I do, but not as...

    Why is everyone so down on Fallout 3?

    If you're fine with bad writing and like a lot of exploration in games, fallout 3 is awesome. If you want good writing you're better of not playing it. That's what most people who don't like fallout 3, I guess. I'm one of them. Never played the original two fallout games, but I just couldn't...

    Having to walk with a walking cane... I felt old, although I only had to do it because of an injury.

    Bass in music

    <youtube=rHxZAykKjJg> This song wouldn't have any musical quality if it had no bass, but the lyrics would still be funny. Bass guitar is awesome. I'm a guitarist myself, but I still wan't to learn bass because you can cool stuff with it. No one mentioned Victor Wooten yet?

    Neverwinter Becomes an MMO

    The voicework in the beginning reminds me of Fable. A bad way to open a "serious" trailer...

    Researchers Pinpoint Real-life Zombie Hotspots

    Well, you must also consider that a lot of western European countries also spell the word zombie the same, but pronounce it in a different way.

    How is 9/11 viewed internationally?

    I didn't really like your answer. For one, it is okay to kill people so long as the economy is booming because of it? Second the seperation of party's to blame aren't really relavent. It happend because they were invaded and are now trying to fight back. Which now causes more deaths then...

    Guys are jerks. But girls...?

    Why do we always have to see the bad in people? Sure girls and boys can be unkind, but most are actually good people each of whom has a sort of unwritten manual that you must use or else they'll take advantage of you or someone else. Finding out how to treat other people is essential and can be...
