Codecademy [https://www.codecademy.com/] is probably your best bet.

Have you tried Charles Stross's Laundry series? The protagonist is an employee of a British government agency that has the job of holding back Lovecraftian horrors. It's much funnier than Lovecraft, but the cosmic horror is still there.

In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, every single goddamned Belltower mercenary in Hengsha after I'd been doing a fairly pacifist run up until then, but shit was ON from that point forward. I had a sniper rifle, carbon-fiber arm blades, and zero fucks to give.

Touch-typing 4 LYFE. Most useful class I ever took in junior high. About the only digit I don't really make use of is my left thumb, but I'll very occasionally use it to hit the space bar if my right hand is busy with the number pad or something.

I'd love to remember it, but it was over two decades ago--I started with the first Civilization in 1992.

Fun fact: The guy who played Mark wrote a book [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Disaster-Artist-Inside-Greatest-Movie/dp/0751561878] about the making of The Room in which he reveals that shooting that one bit took over three hours and thirty-two takes.

Put that and "narrative" on a card, and you're halfway to bingo.

All this talk of the perfect action movie and not one single mention of Die Hard? For shame.

I was going to stay out of this, but...the entire point of that scene is that Edgar tells Gloucester that he's being led to the top of a cliff, but it's actually a moderately-tall ledge at best. Gloucester almost catches on, even: And he doesn't get caught before he falls--he actually falls...

I was amazingly pissed when I read spoilers for the episode of Breaking Bad where It was right before I watched the episode in question, too. Bastards.

I kickstarted it, so I'll be getting it on the day of release. I'm really looking forward.

Seconded, but be sure you track down the director's cut. The original theatrical release has a studio-mandated voiceover at the beginning that spoon-feeds a lot of the background of the story to you, and it's really grating.

Yeah. And that's one of the tamer covers.

There are a couple of comic series like this. Warren Ellis's Black Gas is short--only six issues--but it's still pretty horrifying. The titular gas escapes from the ground after an earthquake, and it makes everyone act out their worst impulses. The much longer and still-ongoing one is Garth...

Gruyère, the one true cheese, of course. It's like Swiss, but harder, without holes, and slightly nutty-tasting.
