    Has/did your school ever pull a dick move?

    Not sure if this is on topic, since it's not the school itself pulling a dick move, but I refuse to miss an opportunity to vent (and it is tangentially related to education). After spending 2 years studying engineering at University, I realised that I didn't want to spend the rest of my life...

    Poll: People on the escapist with the same first name as you.

    I'm quite surprised to be the thread's first Paul... thought my name was more common.

    Fan-Fiction

    Best Fanfic I've ever read? The Unity Saga. If you're a fan of Star Trek and the Star Wars Expanded Universe; GO READ IT. NOW! It's a massive crossover between the two universes, written by Chuck Sonnenberg, also known as SFDebris, and by massive I mean 250 Chapters. Two hundred and...

    Smoking?

    1. Er, what? Are you being serious? 2. First time I ever smoked was a cigar when I was 16, and unlike many people I actually enjoyed it, mainly because I wasn't an idiot so I didn't inhale. 3. See above! I kind of went through smoking in the reverse of the normal progression; starting with...

    Recomend Me some Anime

    Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei would be my first reccomendation, mainly because it's just... awesome. Also, if you're willing to put up with a slow start, try Eureka Seven.

    Zero Punctuation: Wii Sports Resort

    Awesome review as always, although as a fencer I should probably be insulted... never mind, I'm sure that comment was directed towards all the stuck up foil and epee fencers...although I'm also sure that no one on this site will get that reference. Sabre ftw!

    What's the longest amount of time you've stayed awake for?

    Approximately five days. I remember, feeling completely normal up to the point when I collapsed on the floor. Is that normal?

    Halo Hate: Explain?

    I'd like to postulate that maybe one of the reasons for the hate is the sheer number of inane threads about it. Seriously, I'm a halo fanboy, yet even I am fostering a hatred of the game now, simply because of troll threads like this.

    Zero Punctuation: Gears of War 2

    lol, loved this game, but as usual. yahtzee has managed to pinpoint all the things that ARE bad about it, especially the AI; seriously, the number of time's I've bled out while Dom happily stands on my head is ridiculous.

    anyone else find portal really creepy??

    Yeah... That was the point. Some hilarious dialogue in that game. Can't remember it word for word, but my favourite line was: "We would like to remind you that the weighted companion cube cannot speak; in the event of it speaking, we would advise you to disregard any advice it might offer."...

    The Customer Is Always Wrong

    Slightly different to what's being said on here (as far as I know, im not about to read 16 pages of this, as hilarious as it is) as it's from the customer's point of view. I was walking through central London with a couple of mates, when I was struck by a bright idea. I signaled for my...
