    Weeping Infant Killed For Disturbing Dad's Gaming

    I know a lot of people are thinking that this man is some kind of crazy psychopath right now, but he isn't. Death by shaking is actually quite a common cause of infanticide, because the little tykes won't shutup. I have nothing but sympathy from the man. Seriously, I know it's hard to...

    Flashpoint

    A lot of people bemoaning the comic 'coming down' with Cerberus Syndrome. And some other people expressing support. I myself am among the latter group. I very much enjoyed the car crash arc, and I think that the characters have a good amount of dramatic potential to mine. I'm actually happy...

    You are now a super-powered being. [Similar to a certain ongoing thread, but more deep]

    Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. My power would be to redirect kinetic energy and, at advanced levels, transform and use other forms of energy (heat, light etc). It would be interesting, because my power would depend completely on the power around me. If I tried to throw a punch all on...

    Poll: Bioshock Infinite: good or bad?

    ARISE YE THREAD LONG SINCE DEAD, AND HAUNT THE FORUM FROM WHENCE YOU WERE CREATED. Goddamn man! It's two years old! At this point, creating a new thread IS productive behavior. People will look at and respond to the initial comments, but those comments were made BEFORE an additional two...

    Poll: Everything is pirated!

    Well, no, that's not quite what I'm saying. I don't want to insult but please, don't generalize or unnecessarily extrapolate. There are various nuances in business models that I am unaware of that may well make used resale a non-issue for many industries. I'm unable to comment on things like...

    Poll: Everything is pirated!

    First off, I know it's satire. But good satire makes a clever and/or interesting point about the subject material. Though the writing is good, this is bad satire because it actually has very little to do with the subject. The problem is that what you described relates to an entirely different...

    Skyrim Orc Vampires

    I played it stealthy, and charged through levels surprisingly quickly, I'm really enjoying it!

    Skyrim Orc Vampires

    So I was curious as to how Orc vampires look like, and couldn't find any pictures of them online. So I made myself an Orc character, played it for a while, and then went out to contract vampirism. Imagine my disappointment when, rather than the interlocking fangs/tusks I was imagining, the...

    Grandpa Tastes Concrete Over Videogames

    oh no, and now a lot of people are going to be saying 'f*** the police', and going on about how evil they are. The cop in question really has no excuse, but hopefully most of us here won't judge an entire organisation by the action of one of its members.

    Your Opinion of Trolling

    The problem I have with rolling is that how good it is completely depends not only on the troller, but also on the reader. For the average person, there is far more bad trolling than good trolling. Personally, if we define trolling as 'getting someone angry because it amuses you', that is...

    Are Australian spiders really that big?

    'Course, if you live in Australia, then you know that the big ones are freaky, but only scary if they fall on your face. Their bites still hurt like Billy'O, but.... When you live in a country with such an absurd amount of deadly spiders, you grow to appreciate the ones that have the...

    Angry Birds Studio Happy About Chinese Piracy

    Gah, China China China.... Why do you turn a blind eye to these goings on? First the extraordinarily blatant Team Fortress 2 ripoff (that even stole models and voice files directly from the game) and now this! It's starting to annoy me. A lot.

    Proselytize me! Yes, go ahead and try to evangelize me if you dare...

    You are a sad, sad person with delusions of importance. First off, ever considered that they might be sharing youtube clips and meme pics SIMPLY because they think of it as a way to help express their reaction? Because if you think they are posting them to convert others to their fandoms, you...

    What Skyrim Learned from Fallout 3

    Oh good, I always felt that one of FO:3's strongest aspects was coming across those little areas, and you could see what must have happened there. It was very interesting.
