    Recommend me an insanely long book

    Hmmmm. 19Q4 by Haruki Murakami is pretty awesome as well as being fairly lengthy, although it might breach the no fantasy rule. It's more sci-fi/alt reality. If you're in to conspiracy theories and secret cults, it's about that kinda stuff. The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolano is cool, my...

    Rare stuff you own

    This only kinda counts seeing as it was my parents .. but when I was younger I remember them having a collection of first edition Alexandre Dumas books, but we had to sell them when we needed money. Made a pretty penny I believe.

    What remakes of games do you want to be made?

    I agree wholeheartedly that a remade Arcanum would I don't know whether 3D would be necessary, but yeah, fix up the combat and some of the other game breaking problems. Would be amazing. And another Troika game .. Vampire: The Masquerade ? Bloodlines. If they just finished the game, and...

    Hall of shame: games that have made you cry

    When my brother saved over my game on Pokemon Gold. Apart from that, nothing. It's a bit strange, because I am a total blubber when it comes to books, movies, or music. I love a good cry. I've just never played a game which has taken me anywhere near the point of tears. I wish there had...

    Oh, and I'm totally with this guy. If you're gonna do it public, you gotta fuckin' DO IT.

    Marriage Proposals in Public - Dick Move or Romantic?

    I'm split on this. I agree that it could be potentially put the person being proposed to in a bit of strife (should they want to decline), but god-damn, if seeing a public marriage proposal isn't shiver down the spine stuff, then I don't know what is. Personally, I'm quite a private person, so...

    Poll: Living with your parents

    I live with my parents and they want me there. My university is just down the road, so it makes sense for me to stay. There's no-way I could afford a flat in our area, so yeah, it works well. I'll move out once I leave uni, and until then my parents are perfectly happy for me to stay.

    The best song EVER.

    There's no way I could pick a favorite song, especially being more of an album man, but this is one I've been listening to a fair bit recently: I love the way the words are so obtuse, yet when she sings them you know exactly what she means. Also, yay for the guy who posted the Can...

    Your Favorite Indie Games

    Same as this guy, plus Binding of Isaac. We really are blessed with some fantastic indie games/developers at the moment.

    Better to be single or in a relationship?

    Well, seeing as I'm in a relationship, and my partner is a member on this site, I'm hardly gonna say single now am I? But yeah, I adore the companionship that only a girlfriend/boyfriend can bring. Otherwise I tend to get lonely, and produce copious amounts of awful, awful poetry.

    Poll: Cats or Dogs

    Cats. Because they give the least fucks ever. Seriously though, their barely hidden contempt for humankind is just so cute. One day the cats are gonna rise up, and take their deserved place atop the food chain.

    Hall of shame: admit which games you are terrible at .

    This. And because I never want to be the sad "I'll just watch" guy at parties, my friends are constantly kicking my ass at everything.

    Killed by a Ridiculously Underpowered Enemy

    The freaking flies in the Binding of Isaac. Not even the ones that shoot things, just the normal, die-in-one-shot, basic enemy flies. Also, dogs in the Stalker games. First post =] (after ghosting unabashedly for longer than I care to admit)
