    Aversion to Children

    Thought I'd add a father's perspective in here. I have 2 kids. I have always disliked handling other people's kids, even nieces and nephews. Wouldn't hold them, wouldn't interact, nothing. Then I had my first kid myself and it was a LOT different from what I was expecting. Sure, he pooped...

    Best book you've ever read?

    I'm going to have to pick a series, and that series is the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. Book 12, The Gathering Storm is probably my favorite. The series has some slow spots being as long as it is, but man, The Gathering Storm was just EPIC.

    Poll: Should I buy all the Heroes of Might and Magic games?

    3 is the best, but 2 is the classic. 3 wouldn't have been as good without 2 to build from. 5 was okay, but like everyone else has said, 3 is where it's at.

    Most surprising story twists in gaming (Spoilers)

    The Revan twist in Knights of the Old Republic. Blew my mind when that happened and it's still the very first thing that springs to mind when someone mentions game twists.

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

    My daughter's name is Leliana, so I don't think you're that weird, though I may have just left it at Tali if I were you.

    Name one game you wish you'd played when it just came out.

    Baldur's Gate 2. It was out when I was younger, but for some reason I didn't hear much about it from friends, so never bothered to pick it up. I bought it not long ago on gog.com because so many people praise it as the greatest RPG of all time, but it's a little too aged for me now. I don't have...

    Poll: Male Self-Image.

    Sort of. If I lost about 30 pounds, then definitely yes. TO THE GYM!

    Poll: Do You Date?

    I'm married, and my wife and I used to go on what we considered dates about every weekend. Then we had a kid. Dating ground to a stop, as neither of our families live close enough to babysit and paying a babysitter is a bit of a drag. Whenever we convince/coerce/cajole/blackmail some friends to...

    The Evils of Feminine Gender (and Other Language Complaints)

    I'm fluent in Russian and actually lived in Ukraine for a couple of years. I feel your pain, man. Russian can be pretty messed up. Ukrainian is just weird.

    Poll: When Gender Is A Choice, Which Do You Choose?

    Male almost always playing as a female. I just find it is easier to care about a female character. Too many male characters in games are characterized by the intensity of the stubble on their face and the volume of their bravado. Female characters have the benefit of actually being interesting...

    Forget a movie so you can experience it like new

    Probably Inception. While It's still good on subsequent viewings, none of them stack up to the first one.

    Poll: The Airsoft vs. Paintball Thread

    I'm an airsoft guy all the way. Better looking/feeling guns, you don't need a full face mask (just eye protection), and it just feels better atmospherically.

    Hi everyone. Tips?

    Don't bring up the ending to Mass Effect 3. It doesn't matter if you loved it or hated it, just don't bring it up anymore. Ever.
