    Artists worst album.

    I'm one of those people who doesn't agree with that little bit of popular received wisdom. His voice certainly isn't good in the conventional sense, but he writes his songs around this limited voice, and I think very few people captured the essence of his songs the way his wheeze-voice did...

    Bethesda Shows Off Skyrim's Dark Elves

    Cool. Now give them back their gruff voices from Morrowind.

    Morrowind for $4USD...Should I dive in?

    Yes - particularly once you've added some of the fan mods.

    The Big Picture: Maddening

    I'm trying to give a shit. Really, I am. From a moral perspective, I know that I probably should. I'm a football fan. Hell, I've even looked at pictures of abused dogs (horrible, disgusting, and depressing stuff). But try as I might, I just can't bring myself to give a month-old pile of...

    Escape to the Movies: Shrek For Ever After

    Frankly, this franchise was dead to me about 20 minutes into the FIRST sequel. All the charm that was in the first movie was utterly sucked dry in the typical Dreamworksian second film.

    Former Tonight Show Host Conan O'Brien Ditches Fox for TBS

    Cable is the best place for Conan. Network TV has too many restrictions (none bigger than having to appeal to people who think Jay Leno is funny). But TBS? Up against Stewart and Colbert? Not sure about that.

    Good game, awful ending

    I'd say KotOR II, but I don't even consider that to be an ending at all.

    Born in the wrong century?

    I have a sort of proto-nostalgia for that late 60s, early 70s period. If I could choose another part of history, that'd be it. But deep down, I'm a 21st Century guy. That's when I came of age - it's what I know. I wouldn't fit in at any other time. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm entirely...

    Road House Almost Made it to Consoles

    Pain don't hurt.

    Unskippable: Viking

    That's better, but STILL NOT LOUD ENOUGH!!! Only BRIAN BLESSED can properly convey the essence of BRIAN BLESSED!!!

    Unskippable: Viking

    There is no text LARGE ENOUGH or BOLD ENOUGH to properly convey the LOUDNESS with which BRIAN BLESSED'S NAME MUST BE SPOKEN!!!

    Molyneux Says Americans Find it Harder to Be Evil

    I always play through both at least once, to see what it's like. Maybe it's not an accurate reflection of real-life morality, but it certainly boosts replay value (if it's done well).

    Poll: Favorite "The Beatles" Member

    I like George because I like his sincerity. Also, All Things Must Pass was the best album by a solo Beatle. They're all great, of course. Yes, even Ringo.

    Poll: Who truly owns the right to the word "marriage"?

    The right to the word "marriage" belongs to me. I registered it as a trademark under my name yesterday. Anyone who has said the word "marriage" in this thread owes me five cents.

    Poll: Would you go for a Warhammer 40K(dawn of war) movie?

    They'd never be able to do it right. Hell, they might even try and make it PG-13. *shudders* But no - I don't trust anyone to make a film that turns out right. I don't care if it's Hollywood, independent, whatever - something will be lost in translation to the screen.
