    Feed Dump: The High Speed Bigfoot Mishap

    No such thing as a ball-eating fish. Pacu are actually herbivores. This is a joke that got blown out of hand in the media :P

    What would your victory dance be?

    Moonwalk. It's got to be the moonwalk. Smooth, slick, classy, a little eclectic. I can't actually do the moonwalk, but if I could, that's what I'd do!

    How come no big developers / publishers haven't announced a AAA game for Occulus Rift yet ?

    No one knows if Oculus Rift will take off. It gives people motion sickness and is still working out kinks in its head-turn lag (which contributes to said motion sickness). Also, my friends who've worn it say it is not really compatible with glasses, which so many people have. Until it works...

    Poll: For four grand, would you flash a non-sexy body part?

    Would I accept $4,000 for a naked picture of myself? Yeah. If someone is desperate enough that they want me instead of all the porn they can find on the internet that has overly made up and hand-picked models, really, go ahead. Give me your money. But hey, you didn't specify, so I'd try to...

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

    Nope. Give me all the money you want and I still won't kill anyone for you, let alone my family. I'd rather have dignity and morality than money.

    Zelda Producer: We Have to be More Careful With Zelda's Artstyle

    I shamelessly do not like Wind Waker's art style and absolutely agree that it was a silly idea. Not horrible, just...*why*?

    Zero Punctuation: The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker HD

    I like it when games take themselves Way Too Seriously, so I didn't like Wind Waker's cartoony atmosphere. It also happened along around the time I was hoping for the awesome higher-graphics 3d Zelda that would turn out to be Twilight Princess way later, so I was very let down by the ridiculous...

    the silly joke thread

    A mushroom walks into a bar. The bartender glares at him and says, "Hey, get out. We don't serve your kind here." The mushroom jumps up onto a bar stool and says "Why not? I'm a fun guy!" A horse walks into a bar. The bartender hands him a beer and says, "Why the long face?" Two ropes walk...

    A Game You Wished Sold Well, But Didn't :(

    Nier. Nier all the way. It was a wonderful and depressing game about how sometimes you just can't win, and its story was very unique in the way it executed through the mechanics and over time, and it combined genres beautifully, and nobody cared. Now Cavia is dissolved, and it's all our fault...

    Food you refuse to eat

    Green vegetables. Yeah, I know, I'm a five-year-old, but really now, they're disgusting and bitter. I don't care how you cook them. Also any insect or spider.

    If you were a Pokémon...

    If I had to pick a Legendary, Mewtwo all the way. I'm cool with having psychic powers and being a mutant cat thing. He also looks pretty tanky, being 6'7" and like 300 lbs. I can get behind that. It's like a linebacker got telekinesis. If I had to be a mundane Pokemon, I'd go with a Raichu or...

    Is it ok to kill spiders?

    *chews gum for a bit* ....Nooooope. I can't say I can muster sympathy for bugs. I only have so many cares to give, and they do not go to bugs or curing a phobia that doesn't show up much because my house is pretty darn clean and doesn't attract vermin. Everyone here who thinks it's murder...

    Is it ok to kill spiders?

    I mercilessly kill any spiders I see indoors. I'm an arachnophobe and there's no way I'm letting those things breed in my house or office. Outside, fine, spiders can do their thing. Indoors? No. And since I'm so terrified of them, I can't just capture and release them; they have to be slain from...

    The Big Picture: Memorium

    I really love the ending of this -- the idea that even if the people you looked up to turn out to be flawed (as they all will), you can still love their work and the impact they made. So, everyone bitching about Orson Scott Card's personal beliefs and boycotting his movie...well, one's political...

    Poll: If you never had to eat...

    Oh man, you guys should look up Soylent. (Not the fictional 'made of people' thing, but the real thing someone is trying to make to allow for cheap yet nutritious eating. It's basically a slurry of raw materials. But I am not a biologist; go look at their research and stuff.) I am going to...
