    What are you top 5 albums of all time?

    Five albums? And they can't be the same band?! Kidding. Let's try this... Stated Artist, more or less in order of favorite, winning album and one that it just beats out. Opeth - Ghost Reveries (Runner-up: Blackwater Park) Ayreon - 10101001 (Runner Up: Into the Electric Castle) Devin...

    What are your favorite dying last words?

    "Last one out, get the light." Not sure where I first saw it, but I think it may have been on one of the doomsday posters in the Watchmen graphic novel. In any case, I think that is a fantastically pragmatic and surreal remark to make regarding the end of one's life.

    Things that piss you off...in movies!

    Playing on the audience's ignorance of a given prop to cheat it. You know, six-shooters firing off many more rounds for sake of action, sound effects (foley) forcibly inserted into an action that is obviously subtle/silent, punching up the effects to ludicrous exaggeration. Also, missed...

    You have a gun with one bullet...

    Shoot self. Inevitability is the fourth party, more prevalent than either presented opponent. Also, compounded with Free Will, a gift of human sentience paired with the Ego mechanism of our minds, shooting oneself is both the most significant and appropriate response. After all, if the gun...

    You're thrown into a war... what role do you play?

    Casualty. Don't get me wrong, in a crisis scenario, I will revert to indulging my urge for mass murder, specializing in guerrilla tactics and shock operations, but... Let's face it. Prolonged conflicts like war cost lives. So my ultimate role is that of a casualty.

    The most obscure game you own.

    Surely you mean Shogo: Mobile Army Division from Monolith, released in close proximity to Blood 2: The Chosen! Many fond memories of twin pistols and bunny rabbits. The Bullgut is still an awesomely useless mech weapon.

    Space Marine "Rips Off" Gears of War

    Well, the game plays with a feel that combines Gears of War and God of War (God of Gears? THE OMNISSIAH!). Then again, the credits list thanks to Vigil Games, published by THQ and responsible for Darksiders. The heavy feel and mechanics of combat likely stem from therein. Still, I prefer the...

    Could a sniper kill Magneto?

    Any non-magnetic projectile will suffice in killing Magneto, especially if he is caught unaware and cannot affect the firer's rifle. Even a rubber bullet, given enough velocity, can spatter his Mutie head over his Magenta threads.

    Poll: Are you an achievement/trophy whore?

    Indeed I am a trophy whore, but a peculiar one. I will play games for enjoyment and try mediocre games for the trophies (and sometimes, enjoyment). Occasionally I will go to great lengths to obtain the majority of trophies in a game... and let it sit at a 90%+ completion grade without getting...

    "Macho Man" Randy Savage Dies in Car Accident

    Damn it all. To be immortalized, one has to die, and all our heroes perish - as they must - to live on in our hearts. Now he is Macho beyond us all.

    Rant: 5D? WT*? Um, hello can we boycott this abomination?

    The 6th Dimensional Planet Smasher has no time for 5D cinema. In fact, he despises all forms of such nonsense. Especially musicals.

    Dragon Age 2 Lead Writer Blasts Homophobic Fan

    I wonder if said gamer brought Isabella on a chance encounter with Zevran... Then pursued character-appropriate dialogue options... Then jumped into the big nasty pile of sweaty limbs himself...

    Valve Thinks It'd Be "Fun" to Remake Half-Life

    That would indeed cause a fanboy tear or two to roll down my jaded face. I was so young, so vulnerable... And I fell in love with that crowbar... To see it restored would be like a homecoming.
