    Five Nights at Freddy's and the Nature of the Jumpscare

    FNAF is more like the horror equivalent of a snack than an actual game; sure, it's spooky and stuff while you're playing it, and it provides some cheap scares, but once you're done with it you feel that there's really no substance to it. I guess I can understand that some people prefer quick...

    [back to gaming] What are you playing now?

    The 2010 Aliens vs. Predator game. I'm having a hard time seeing why this got a lot of the flak that it did, as I'm having a blast. Especially with the Xenomorph. Sure, the Marine campaign is an absolute drag, but I've come up with an ingenious workaround to this dilemma that involves not...

    Who is the best swordsman in fiction?

    You saved me from having to go to the effort of pulling that video up m'self. This man right here has it.

    Lyrics or quotes that make you cringe.

    Nope, that's the motto in it's entirety. They just wrote those words on the side of the coffee cup. You couldn't take a sip without seeing it. Reading it was the verbal equivalent to kidney stones.

    Lyrics or quotes that make you cringe.

    Caribou Coffee's old motto: "We love coffee too. That's why we proudly brew." I am a very gentle man, and yet the last time I heard those words... 31 innocent souls lost their lives that day. Thank God that they finally changed it.

    So Halloween is just around the corner. What are people doing for Halloween?

    I'm having a horror movie marathon/costume party with a group of friends. I am dressing up as Macgyver. I've got the bomber jacket, the mullet, the aviators, the work boots, and a roll of duct tape. I'm set.

    Amnesia Dev Teases Possible Sci-Fi Title

    If this has anything to do with "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream", I'm going to calmly shut down my computer, walk outside, then rip my shirt off and begin dancing around in ecstasy in public. Seriously, one of the most f'ed up Sci-Fi/Horror stories in history in the hands of the developers...

    Movie Defense Force: Jason X

    In a series about an (arguably) undead mountain man wearing a piece of sports equipment who murders horny co-eds with gardening tools, there's really no boundaries on how silly you can get. Jason Goes to Hell is the only film in the series I actually hate, mainly because Jason only has about 2...

    Jimquisition: Lugoscababib Discobiscuits

    Cheers to you for referencing a Bosch painting. I've never heard this argument used before, and I think I'm glad I haven't. It sounds like the type of thing that would get woefully misused. And I'm glad I wasn't the only one put off a little by Booker eating absolutely everything.

    Favorite new IP of this generation

    Sorry, but I don't think that's fair. OP asked "Best IP of This Generation", and you're kind of making it hard for the rest of us when you throw out the greatest artistic endeavor in the history of mankind, Deadly Premonition. Seriously though, make that two votes for Deadly Premonition...

    Nicolas Cage appreciation thread

    Ouch, it's hard to pick. He can actually be a really good actor in some movies, and when they're bad movies, I feel that he recognizes it enough to ham up his performance to the point where it becomes so bad it's good. Vampire's Kiss or Wild at Heart would be my votes.

    Favorite Machine Character

    As shaky as I am on Harlan Ellison (One one hand, he's a good writer with good ideas, and on the other, he's a total asshole about absolutely everything), AM from "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" has a special place in my heart. While he's relatively interesting and mysterious in the story...

    Characters that aren't your race that you relate to.

    I don't think race really has any impact on how much I like a character; it's the character his or herself that really determines it. Having said that, a favorite non-white character of mine...

    You can ban any word in the English language... Which is it?

    "Affect" and "Affected" I kind of understand the difference between it and "Effect", but it can be such a pain to differentiate the two sometimes. Even my English teachers hate it. It'd be nice if we just had one word to encompass the whole idea.

    Your favorite fictional demons.

    Mephistopheles from the Faust legend. He's a despicable agent of Satan who exists solely for the corruption of souls, but he's completely blunt about it. He's no deceiver or trickster; he straight up tells Faust "Look, I can grant you whatever you desire on this earth, but at some point...
