    Poll: What's best on toast?

    Eggs cooked over-easy on toast is one of the greatest breakfasts ever. It's sort've like a crappier version of THE greatest breakfast ever: Eggs Benedict.

    Returning to WoW

    Left WoW early cata after playing since early BC for the same reasons most people did, but this same thought crossed my mind after getting a free 10 days play time e-mail. I'm still debating whether or not to try it out after hearing so many good reviews from people who said cata sucked. The...

    Poll: What is a gamer?

    My definition: "Anyone who calls them self a gamer, is a gamer." It's pointless to try to put a measurement on what a gamer is, if you've ever heard the term "gamer" and identify yourself as such, you are in fact a gamer. *You cannot label others as gamers or non-gamers, you can only take...

    Escapist Podcast: 069: Surviving the Apocalypse and "Fake" Geek Girls

    In response to your chicken conversation, chickens are effing awesome. After raising them for over 10 years I can tell you that chickens have great personalities, and I've had plenty of chickens I could call and they'd fly up onto my shoulder or follow me around. Take away message: raise...

    Escape to the Movies: Life of Pi

    Well judging from your review it sounds pretty much exactly like the book. I remember reading it in High School and thinking how douchey Pi was. Why do you have to be so God Damned Quirky!?

    Christmas is here! Ish. Need game ideas for my girlfriend.

    World of Goo because it hasn't been mentioned yet, both of the Trine games are indeed awesome, and Bastion was lovely. Can't go wrong with any of those.

    How do you change when drunk?

    I get sleepy, laugh more, and become friendlier. It's really terrible to see people who just get angry when they drink, I've never been in that situation myself.

    Poll: Chicken

    I've raised chickens for over a decade. So I know for certain that the best part of a chicken is the crispy skin after the chicken breasts have been baked in the oven, seasoned with season salt, black pepper, and rosemary.

    Username Origins

    It was my username when I played the original Team Fortress. They had that chicken spray that I used, and it just so happened that I also raised chickens, so there ya go. Should really switch over to RoosterMan now though...

    Poll:MTG Return to Ravnica Guilds

    For sealed/draft I'm looking forward to Rakdos, a lot of people say they have a terrible mechanic but I think red/black is going to do well due to it's awesome removal at common. Captcha: have fun Yes...that is exactly what I'm planning on for this weekend.

    Poll:MTG Return to Ravnica Guilds

    I'm basically in agreement with you on your observations, but I do believe that the Detain mechanic that Azorius has is going to be really annoying. Most of the people at my pre-release have signed up for Golgari, whether it's just for the promo or because they think it's going to be the best at...

    Poll:MTG Return to Ravnica Guilds

    The pre-release for Return to Ravnica starts this Friday at midnight. As those involved in the Magic: The Gathering scene are most likely aware of, this event is different from other pre-releases as you get to choose one of 5 Ravnica guilds to align yourself with. So as this is going to be my...

    Just Add Zombies

    Ahh... I remember my first death in DayZ. Walking down some stairs in a barn too quickly, breaking both my legs, then being promptly devoured by zombies.
