Look up Kobo Abe. In particular, I recommend The Ruined Map and Secret Rendezvous.

Sure is complicated, it leads to all sorts of unanswerable questions? Does institutional racism which makes people much more likely to live in a poorer, segregated, area, which also leads to people having less access to a good education, lead people to become really stupid and a lot harder to...

Alright mate, I think you're gonna have to be more specific about what these social justice issues you're having trouble with actually are and how this pertains to the job you'll be doing. Otherwise I can only give the most theoretical advice. My mum works in the field, most of her work is...

This isn't offense particularly, but outside of spouting the usual self-righteous wank (which I and everyone else already agrees with), there's not much else to say on the topic of censorship in broad. I'm a fan of reading feminist discussions (because I'm a boring twat), the arguments...

The original version of the Malcolm in the Middle theme is pretty bizarre. This was the placeholder song before it got officially picked up (it was being optioned by HBO who partly funded the pilot):

Creativity is a pretty bullshit term, in all honest, chaps. Any good creative writing course will mostly teach you techniques while hammering home the importance of actually sitting down at getting shit doooonnnnneeeee. Teaching 'creativity' is more so an exercise in providing the tools...

Lotta people here have some pretty hard-line views of what a role model is - by my definition I'm sure most of you geezers would have had one. For instance, I was a big Libertines fan when I was a little nipper. I didn't try to live my life like Pete Doherty, nor make any conscious decision...

Am I missing something about FFX's combat? I've been back to it a few times and always get bored within a few hours because of the battles. I feel like every random encounter is a chore because I have to religiously switch out characters for no reason so they'll pick up experience. What...

I get you geezer. The problem is that this issue arises with pretty much any hobby. Answering your question with 'I like going to the movies.' could mean a million different things. If you assume someone loving movies means they're familiar with the French new wave and dogma movements then...

Trying to discuss the term is generally useless as every old wanker seems to have a different view of what makes a 'gamer'. I can see the arguments for being a core gamer, aficionado and all that. It just breaks down far too quickly as people always want to draw their own lines. Not only...

I don't doubt what you're saying, mate. It just doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I originally quoted. Not to be a dick but your original quote didn't really have much to do with what you were quoting either. It's definitely possible that everything you've said is the hottest, 100%...

Not quite getting your point, budddd. What intention exactly do you think the creators of these images had? The post of mine you quoted from was a direct response to the point dude was making - not the article itself. Dude replied to someone who claimed most women in vidjas were designed to...

Much respect for what you're saying, dude, I get it. There's some evidence to show that we tend to prefer certain ratios, certain facial features - all that. The problem I have with what you're saying, and this conventional wisdom in general, is that you've pretty much just pulled it out of...

Brah, I don't think you've quite caught the point here. No one's asking you to be stroking it over BBDubs. Point is, does every video game lady really need to be someone you want to fuck?

That's the thing ain't it, mate? Your average body builder isn't necessarily that healthy, especially when you consider all the heavy cutting and bulking that goes on. People seem to get weird about it, but whatever happens to be the beauty standard right now =/= being healthy. Especially...
