    How the Illithid Stole Lolthmas; and other crap Penny Arcade vomits at us.

    I like the story arcs more than the one shot stuff. I don't keep up with gaming news so most of the one joke comics woosh over my head. They are pretentious, yeah, but you can't deny they're pretty talented for webcomic authors. Oh, and I found the zombies in the mall one pretty bad...

    St. Helens in England. Has the biggest British White percentage in Britain according to the 2001 census. And was the incest capital till like the 1900's. ._.

    What do you think about History?

    I regret not taking History on past compulsory education. I assumed it was all irrelivant ancient history, however I now know that's not the case. Those who do not learn the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them, or however it goes.

    RTS Games: Are they really that strategic?

    I don't tend to play RTS games since, to me, they have too much focus on Macro and Micro, which I don't really think as strategy. A RTS game to me would be chess. In realtime.

    Poll: What's your phobia/fear?

    Growing old and senile and being unable to feed/cloth/have a crap by myself. Losing your memory and having your body crumble due to old age. It's unavoidable. And it takes away all your freedom. And the terrifying state of NHS Elderly healthcare in England isn't making it much better.

    Should there be an independent Nazi Zomibes game?

    Go look at Killing Floor on Steam. It's basically an expanded Nazi Zombies mode with Classes, shops, etc.

    Sick and Tired of Christians and Americans Being Considered the Bane of Humanity

    http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.AcceptableTargets Welcome to the list, I'm afraid. America and Christianity are arguably the most powerful beings in counties and Religion. Therefore acceptable to mock in unnecessarily ways. I don't agree with this, but there you go.

    Most Infuriating And Difficult Achievement/Trophy/Level in a game?

    The Portal Achevements for the console versions of Orange Box. Some bastard didn't think to lessen the difficulty on the Time Trial challenges despite the fact the gamepad is a ton slower and less accurate than the mouse. Which leaves you with a couple achevements unobtainable without cheats...

    Poll: http://www.conservapedia.com - people really agree with this?

    For the love of... What do you mean when you say Athiests are cowards? Surely you see that being willing to believe that there is no glorious afterlife, and this is the only life we have, requires a certain amount of bravery, over believing in some sort of eternal Paradise? And idiots...

    "But it gets them reading."

    I think you're overblowing the effect books have on people; the only written works I've seen change people are religious texts. I've seen a particularly well written piece of poetry make someone think for a minute, but then it is forgotten. And I'm not sure what you mean by a bad book; do you...

    "But it gets them reading."

    "Good" books and "Bad" books is a subjective term. What I don't understand is why everyone assumes that "bad" books are going to turn our society into a brainless husk. They're books that are popular because people like them, they are easy to read and deal with popular themes in a typical way...

    Nuggets of wisdom your parents have given you

    Why are there so many "I hate my parents / My parents are jerks" comments whenever they are bought up? Anyway, mine told me "Work hard in school, have it easy the rest of your life instead of stacking selves at ASDA."

    Anarchy and teenagers

    I didn't go through a 'rebel against the govement' phrase. I did go through a 'I could do it so fucking better' phrase though.

    These Prophecies are *supposed* to be Indigo-colored, right? : a Indigo Prophecy/Farenheight review

    Heh, I loved this game. I remember playing it with some family watching, then the damn sex scene in the underground station came of of nowhere. You know it was meant to be a QTE minigame where you had to time the thrusts? Bleh.

    My God is stronger than your God

    I think he's pointing out the fallacy of modern Religion. Like the Spaghetti Monster.
