    Taking a photo of my backyard (almost) every day for a year.

    yeah, besides, there are alot of pointless things everyone does everyday anyway. Its neat to see a whole year go by so fast. most of you probably sat there and watched TV and did nothing creative or worthwhile at the same time he took the photos.

    Poll: No Reality In This Classroom!

    To be honest, My high school wasn't to horrible (though it has had stories). I've only had one teacher that was truly clueless (trigonometry is forever skewed in my brain). I've found that the way most of my classes are skewed off reality is all the "Current events", "ethical questions"...

    Should "real" history be taught to younger students?

    I'm going to have to disagree on americans not learning about nazis (though you might need to remind me what the scarlett letter is). We also went into great detail on the rise of the nazis. whether or not anyone payed attention is another question entirely. You are correct in saying though...

    Poll: Which fictional game army would you join?

    I wish some REAL armies were on here, like the GLOBAL DEFENSE INITIATIVE! GDI for the win! (suck it nod!) anyways... i went halo, because thats what i'm used to. I'm pretty sure spartans and elites are the best individual soldiers on the list.

    Your favourite gaming villain?

    Yuri and Kane are big bad guys i love from C&C. Fontaine (bioshock) i had forogt about until i saw this thread, so he is on the list to. I'm not sure if i count Andrew Ryan as a villain, he is an antagonist, but he wasn't the main evil force at work. not good, definitely bad, but he was...

    Gears 2 Writer: "The Lancer Is The New Lightsaber"

    I don't know. The Lancer rifle has a chance at being very iconic. Its definitely not a lightsaber, but then again, an assault rifle and a laser sword don't really compare. I've always though the chainsaw was just a utilitarian deal. I mean, anyone who has played through the worm can see why...

    Microsoft: Halo Can Be The Next Star Wars

    Honestly, i think halo compares more to the old Planet of the Apes. they aren't half bad, and lots of people loved Planet of the Apes, but i'm not sure how well it compares to star wars. I don't think halo has the fanbase, expansive as it is, to make it. In the world of video games, it will...

    Why is America so awesome?

    I think America has it's merits, and i definitely think that most peopel from other countries get easily riled up, because the picture they get of America is in my opinion, pretty distorted. I have freinds from other countries who just ask questions that i find ridiculous, because their...

    Hobbies

    Gaming i'm not sure i count as a hobby. I have a real hobby though, its the world's greatest hobby! Your hobbies can't hold a candle to this one. I've been building this 4x8 table top layout for about 5 years, and i've still got a long ways to go. My collection includes 60 locomotives, and...

    Why is America so awesome?

    America is the world's greatest country because Our military owns, and we have really good marketing people. Like Richard Jeni said, "If America was a person, he would be a Used Car Salesman with a Flamethrower".
