    Poll: How Do You Hold Your Fork?!

    No, that is NOT a euphemism. This is a very serious question I have. Every time I see someone in the movies eating, they hold their fork with the prongs facing downward when they bring it to their mouth. They're NEVER holding it facing upward. This is Y-Axcist! It offends me, and it shocks me...

    Why is this not one of their hits?

    Lot of artists spring to mind, but none more so than Warren Zevon. He got the respect and recognition he deserved from all the other artists, but never the public; he never really broke through to the mainstream, despite having a couple songs that play sometimes on the radio. Most people only...

    PC Building Questions

    Hey. So this topic seems a little light relative to the rather heavy hitting subjects being discussed i this forum, buuuuuuut.... I do need advice. So, I've been basically jury rigging my 5+-year-old machine for a good while now, but it's getting to the point that I just need to replace the...

    I know Randy Pitford's son?!

    The most important thing to take into account when considering whether or not to date a dude is what his dad is like. Fact. Ask him about his dad; he'll dig this line of questioning--trust me. If after accruing all the pertinent information about his dad, and evaluating it thoroughly...

    Konami Adds "Paid" Insurance "Service" to Metal Gear Solid V Mulitplayer

    This is why I don't reserve games. Fuckin' KNEW Konami would pull some shit like this. Sucks too, as MGS5 was easily my most anticipated game this year... until I read this. MGS4 was one of my favorite games, period, so... yeah... this bums me out. Whatever--I'll grab it for $7 on Steam a year...

    Skreens Kickstarter Campaign Meets Goal in Under 30 Minutes

    Too bad about that glaring typo. ( ͡°╭͜ʖ╮͡° ) Seriously though, has there been any kickstarted device or technology that hasn't been a total flop? Oculus Rift? Was that Kickstarter? That's one--I count one--out of many.

    So what's the story behind YOUR avatar pic?

    It's my face. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Without my face, I am worthless; without me, my face is worthless. In all seriousness, I used to use a picture of Dr. Steve Brule. (Because he's fucking awesome.) But I like using my actual face. It helps me feel closer to the people...

    XCOM 2 Delayed

    In this of age of buggy, rushed releases, I think a delay is actually a good thing. I wish I had more to say on the subject, but... nope--this is a good thing.

    I live in Japan. Ask me stuff!

    Are the used panties vendors a real thing? If so: have you bought used panties from a vending machine? Or have you seen anyone buy them?

    Poll: Online Dating - What's The Biggest Challenge/Obstacle/Problem?

    Bro... Anyway, I tried online dating once--it was fun. I met lots of interesting people. A couple of which I still keep in contact with. Some were a little too interesting, though. I ran with OKCupid. Its premium features don't have much effect on anything, and to my knowledge there...

    The Worst Films of 2015 (So Far)

    The thing about Zelda games is that they actually change, and warrant a name that is different than their predecessors because of it. The colon only makes it easier to name your sequel if your sequel is different in some way. If every Zelda game took place in, say, the Fire Temple, it would...

    I am some random fucko on the internet, Ask Me Anything. No subject is taboo.

    You think my hairline is receding? Some random fucko on the internet said my hairline was receding, and it kinda wigged me out. I don't think it is, but I'd like a second opinion.

    Red vs Blue takes on Trigger Warnings

    That's kind of silly. And that's from Harvard, huh? Hah. The idea that a trigger warning can only be used to avoid discomfort is laughable. And from the quoted text, the article seems to imply trigger warnings and therapy are mutually exclusive--also laughable. Trigger warnings could be a...

    So how is the gay marriage ruling going to impact you?

    Oh! I thought I felt something in my ass today... go figure. OT: not at all. The ruling made me quite happy, though. If for no other reason than that it made some bigots squirm. Fuck 'em.

    Obama Administration: Global Warming Will Cost Us Unless We Take Action

    To be fair, it's not politics--it's science! It just happens to be coming out of a politician's mouth. And there have been plenty of straight up science articles on this site, yo! There used to be a whole column devoted to science, as I recall. Lauren... Lauren something. Or... something Lauren...
