    You vs Your Avatar.

    Me vs. myself two-and-a-half years ago, drunk? I'd win (the present me). Obviously my younger me would be weaker, but strengthyened by the alcohol and the absent of pain that follows, but I have grown since then and would beat myself senseless. On the other hand, we would never fight. He...

    Recommend me some Steam games!

    Mirror's Edge is pretty fucking awesome ! From 2008 where it was a hit, it still attracts me once and in a while.. It's just so pure ! And coming in at something like 9,99? it's not expensive !

    Poll: Is it weird to go see a movie by yourself?

    I have never been to the movies alone ! Never thought about it before but this question made me realize it... How strange. I think I would feel like the odd man out, alone in the theater. On the other hand, if people judge me because I am alone, they are superficial dickwads. Though I...

    Has a game ever made your cry?

    The ending of Red Dead RRedemption.. In spite of me not really being that attached to the characters, it really hit me hard. And I don't cry that easily. The only reason for me crying over the past 3-4 years were when my girlfriend broke up with me (cried once, got back together with her, then...

    What kind of story would you write?

    Been fiddling a bit with writing myself. A Lovecraft inspired universe where no man is safe, but only our protagonist is aware of this. Fantasy-grounded, obviously, but with roots in different religions and mythologies, putting a question mark to many generally accepted norms and morals. I...

    Your cutie mark

    It is the mark of Samurai Jack's clan. The series pretty much followed me through my childhood, and I still rewatch it sometimes. It's brilliant, but that's not even the point of the symbol. The character of Samurai Jack defines everything that I find compelling and cool. Bushido and the way...

    You now have a Army of the last thing you killed in a videogame.

    Noob-tuber from COD:MW2 ... I would exterminate them and make the world a better place where you could play your games in peace, without the hordes of angry, pre-puberty fanboys.

    Recommend Me Some Good Books

    Conn Iggulden !! Best historical/biographic novels EVER !! The "Emperor" series (4 fat books) is about Gaius Julius Caesar. The "Conqueror" series (3/4 fat books) is about Ghenghis Khan. Both of the series are extremely detailed, exciting, well-written and with a great amount of...

    bad news for guys with a gamer girlfriend

    Bullshit survey.. That's the problem with a quantitative study, those 49% of women gamers (compared to the 50% male gamers) is utter crap. The women 'gamers' probably just said they play games because they play Peggle once every month and the "Learn 2 Fly" on Kongregate. And excuse me, but...
