    Would human life be better...

    I think the answer to that would depend if human life would be the same. If we lives for 1000 years instead of 100, it makes a difference if we would mature at 18 or 180. That is what is known as an Appeal to Age which is a logical fallacy (an off-shoot of Appeal to Tradition). You can't...

    Game Stop is seeking to screw you over even harder

    I want to put this in perspective for people too young to remember this time. Twenty-five years ago loan sharks had wet dreams about being able to charge such a truly unconscionable farcical rate. I mean wow, I had to use a thesaurus to find the correct words to describe such an incongruous...

    Dr Who Christmas Special 2013

    Ok, I want to start off by saying that I don't necessarily mean to necro this thread, but there is something really important (to me at least) that nobody has touched upon yet. I just saw the special a few days ago then my internet went out, so I couldn't exactly comment on it while this thread...

    Your sense of purpose?

    Nihilism mostly. I don't feel any purpose to be anything or to strive for anything so I can do what I want. Day-to-day? It is just work schedule and daily necessities (food, etc). Overall? Knowledge, I guess.

    What did you GIVE for Christmas?

    I also gave away Gamestop gift cards. I gave away two gift cards for massages. I bought my brother Doctor Who episodes.

    Poll: Favorite Pixar Movie?

    I am going to have to go with Up. It was a very relatable story while still having that grandiose adventure.

    How much does it matter if something is 'overrated' to you?

    It depends on how much I dislike something and how prevalent something is. For example, the band Fun (or "fun.") is (in my opinion) terrible and overrated. They are very prevalent in my life as they are played over the speakers at my work seemingly constantly (and it is like two of their songs)...

    Poll: What kind of Bender would you be?

    I am an Airbender in personality already. Plus I think flying would be awesome. Not to mention Airbending sounds like it is the most practical.

    Explain your usernames

    My Xbox screen name is "greenphalcon". I needed a name for WoW. I started throwing various combinations of those words through various translators until one or more sounded good. Eventually "Crudus"(it is where we get the word "crude") came out of the Latin translator. It sounded good so i have...

    Poll: P&P role-players, how long can/should a play session last?

    Depends completely on the players. I have sessions that can only last a few hours. I have played in games that average on 6 hours (what I prefer). On at least 2 occasions I have gamed for 24 hours straight! The most important part is if everyone is having fun. Another important part is how it...

    Actors you're tired of.

    Seth Green. His voice just started to annoy me after a while. Then it just seemed like all of his comedy was with the exact same set-up and punchline of "look at me, I am a smartass". (those two events may have happened in the reverse order) Another one is Johnny Depp as many people have...

    Webcomic recommendations

    Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal Manly Guys Doing Manly Things Questionable Content and Cyanide and Happiness SMBC and C&H are page-a-day style comics. QC is a page-a-day style comic with a loose story arc following the whole thing. Wikipedia defines it as a "slice of life" comic. Manly...

    What type of drunk are you?

    Depends on the company. With the guys I am that talkative, happy, goofy, relaxed drunk. With girls I am that relaxed, aggressively flirty drunk. My drink of choice is Guinness or Irish 'Ritas.

    The book thread!

    The last books I read are the Scott Pilgrim series. Unless you count the book I am reading for my friend as a beta reader. I watch movies alone. I can't imagine what books are like.

    Poll: Those debates the internet will never let go...

    I am not trying to start one. I would just appreciate some elaboration on Terminate's point. It is something I have never really encountered. I have never seen this in person or know someone (in person) this has happened to. Every once in a while I will hear about it someone on the internet...
