    Your arguably BEST ending.

    People are going to judge me for this but, the original Evangelion ending (episode 25/26). As a philosophy student, a fan of 2001: A Space Odyssey, and a kid with social anxiety, I loved it. It dealt with a lot of epistemological themes and eventually ended with a Kierkegaard, existential...

    Poll: Night or Day

    Night, because it's easier to feel like you're on a floating rock in space.

    Hitting... Women

    I disagree, if an eye for an eye was how all ought to live, then we'd be living in a blind world. If a slap to the face is something you deem morally wrong, how does it make any sense to slap someone for slapping you? By slapping someone for slapping you, you are saying that someone slapping...

    8 Album Covers Considered To Be Quite Legendary

    White over Abbey Road? I mean, that's a little silly. I think that's just being alternative for the sake of being alternative. While I can understand someone saying that White was a better album, Abbey Road's album cover is quite possibly the most iconic.

    Just watched the "Cornetto Trilogy"

    I love Edgar Wright's work. He's a fantastic screen writer and a fantastic director. I love what he did with Scott Pilgrim, too. Whether or not you like the film, it's quite possibly one of the best comic book to film transitions since Sin City.

    Don't Recommend Me an Anime

    Hopefully I don't get burned at the stake for this but Sword Art Online was woeful. The protagonist has absolutely no flaws; it's like the writer was masturbating through wishful self-insertion. Wow. That sentence wrote itself.

    If You could be Any Video Game character...

    Lu Bu. Who wouldn't want to be the most feared warrior of the three kingdoms? Lu Bu is crazy, and Diao Chan is fiiiiiiine. Granted, he was a historical figure before a video game character, but Dynasty Warrior's representation of him is just too good to pass up.

    This is what Jontron is about entirely, and he pulls it off magnificently, so I'm going with 'like.'

    Your 5 most influential games

    This is a good question/thread. 1. Shadow of the Colossus: It has pretty much become my ideal game. I could, but I won't, write you an essay on why I think this game is the pinnicle of fantastic game design. It executes a little thing I like to call thematic gameplay, where the game...

    My daughter is named Tali'Zorah. I suppose I'm crazy : )

    Best solution, as stated by many others here, is to stick with just Tali. No Zorah. I personally think that you'll be better off with "Talia" printed on her birth certificate. You can call her "Tali" for short.

    People who've never taken alcohol or drugs

    A lot of people say that, but I feel more in control of myself on a standard, safe dose of ecstasy than I do sober. My thoughts are a hell of a lot clearer and my negative emotions don't influence my actions as strongly (I will definitely say though, my positive emotions influence my actions...
