    Accept Your Quest. Collect The Fallen. Win an XBOX360 or PS3!

    @UltraDolphins & @gradiusman: That's how you get it done efficiently. And for my reason, my last two Xboxs have broken down (Red Ring of Death). I'm left with several controllers, a dozen games, and no Xbox to play them on. @CoreInversion: You have restored some of my faith in humanity. I...

    What happens when i put my Username into Google Image Search?????

    This was my avatar back on TV.com. Then there were other avatars I've had on different forums and some of my badges here on The Escapist. The weird part is on the following pages was a bunch of tumblr porn. I'm not joking. I went to a different computer, turned on Safe Search and still got the...

    Which misconseption annoys you more?

    That people think Alaska is down south next to Hawaii and California... Seriously, some people believe that's where it's at. Also, that we live in igloos and live around polar bears and penguins. It might be like that really far north, but not the lower half of the state.

    I Hate Emoticons

    Only when used sparingly will I find them acceptable. There are times when words can't express what you're feeling, but emoticons can. However, when I come to that bridge I usually use smilies or images Sometimes they perfectly sum up exactly what I'm emoting.

    Well, that was a disappointing apocalypse.

    I don't know about the rest of you, but I had a great rapture. No one bugged me while at work, not a single bieber song come on the radio, I got a free lunch, and I got to relax in my massage chair without interruption. So even if the rapture is late, I couldn't care less. I'm in too good of a mood.

    Poll: Confess: How Much Does Sex Appeal Factor Into You Deciding What Games to Buy?

    Rarely, if ever. That applies to both sex appeal and buying games at all. Unless it's a popular series that I'll buy regardless (Half-life and Portal), then I'll research the game first before spending my money.

    Poll: New forum rules - Yay or Nay?

    I say "Some Nay". Having the forum health meter isn't much of a bother, but it's the one or two infractions you received ages ago when you first didn't know much about the rules that are now popping back up. Mine was a simple double post from a year ago and I had completely forgotten about it up...

    Death to the Mana Bar!

    Both of these sum up what I was thinking. Perhaps the title could be revised to avoid confusion.

    Debate a girl about anything! I will debate you!

    I used to do this in high school with two friends of mine. We'd debate anything and everything. We even had a meme of our own. "That's debatable!" Ah... good times.

    16 year old gets playstation taken away, Kills mom with claw hammer (chair leg?)

    I, for one, am an eye for an eye kind of guy. Hospitalization with psychiatric help does not atone for murder. Why put so much effort into trying to rehabilitate him? They say that the planet is becoming overpopulated and the jails are overflowing. I say to the chair.

    Should You Have to Get a License to Raise Children?

    It may not seem practical to do this everywhere, but I do like the idea. I know quite a few people who could really use a course, or three, in heightening their parenting skills.

    Pixar's worst movie

    I thought all of them were good except Cars. I agree with what everyone has already repeated that it was more of a kiddie film and as an adult it didn't really appeal to me. Even Monsters, Inc. a story about monsters in the closets of children was entertaining, but not Cars. I'm not a big fan of...

    So my mom tried to get me to come 'out of the closet...'

    In middle school I joined the wrestling team. After one day at practice I was asked by my mum, "So how does your penis compare to the rest of the boys?" I really didn't know how to respond to that. I was only 14. W.T.F.

    Activision Sued Over Online Multiplayer in Call of Duty, WoW

    I really can't put into words the stupidity of this. There is a limit to patenting something and this just overdoes it. That John Carmack quote sums it up perfectly.

    As 2012 Draws Nearer...

    Hunker down and store up some food and water. Just because the actual doomsday will be harmless doesn't mean the psychos and stupid people will. And I can't help shake the feeling that businesses will have "Doomsday Sales" going on. Greed has no limit. I may jump on those as well.
