    Your five flaws

    1: I'm in love with myself. I'm pretty hard-working, talented in many fields, and I'm a complete asshole about it sometimes. 2: I never express myself to other people. When I'm not singing or acting, I have almost no change in facial expressions. People are always worried that I'm pissed at...

    Unpopular gaming opinions

    Well, after reading a bunch of these, apparently my opinion that Half-Life 2 was (and still is) fucking AMAZING is a pretty unpopular opinion. The environments are all unique and memorable, there's wonderful pacing between all of the big fights, and how many other games have you played where...

    Hysterically bad music

    I'm surprised this hasn't made it yet. I'm not sure which is worse - the singing, the dancing, or the fact that the people who did something as wonderful as Grease are now doing... whatever this is.

    Halp. Ponies.

    This is my exact story as well. Except I could clearly see that Fluttershy is the best pony

    Things That Become Creepy When You Think About Them

    Source? Not necessarily disputing you, but I'd really like to see it for myself. Mine is much worse. I was born in early February. My (older) sister was born in mid-May. Conclusion? I was likely conceived on my sister's birthday.

    Poll: Time Travel or FTL Travel?

    Simple answer. Time Travel+Cryo Stasis= You can freaking go anywhere in space and time. You freeze yourself, travel back in time a very long ways, then use regular propulsion to get to wherever you want to be. You just have to go back exactly as much as it would take to reach where and whenever...

    Doctor Who: Which Doctor should I start with?

    I'm of the Moviebob mindset on this. You can really start whenever you want. Just pick it up and start watching, and once you find something you don't totally get, go learn more about it. The really great thing about Doctor Who is that it works with this approach even better than most comics...

    You can have any superpower, but with one catch...

    This thread reminds me of that Cracked video a few months back where the Flash kept using his powers to piss off his brother. Now that I think about it, being the Flash really is the best solution to this thread. You have all of the pranking opportunities you would normally have as a regular...

    Anyone looking forward to the Cloud Atlas movie?

    Definitely excited for the film. I saw the trailer a few weeks ago and got the book because of it!

    Movie Trailers: Red Dawn - Trailer

    That's a very good point. I can accept that. However, I still find it pretty stupid that this movie will try to paint the United States as the ragtag underdog. I'm sure you can agree we're anything but.

    Movie Trailers: Red Dawn - Trailer

    Wow... If there was any 80's movie that seriously did not deserve to be remade, it's Red Dawn. I mean, an unstoppable militaristic force invades a country, forcing the native inhabitants to create makeshift weapons and use guerrilla tactics to drive off the technologically superior invaders...

    Say something nice about or to the poster above you

    Mudkip is definitely my favorite Pokemon. Good on you! I also feel a bit of kinship with you because we're both (relatively) new to the Escapist (Well, we've been here less than 2 years), and we both have pretty low post counts. While I'm here, I'm going to say something nice about the...

    So escapists... what's your porn name?

    Willow Jaeger. Hmmm. I'm not sure if it works for porn, but I like the combination of the masculine and feminine like that.

    Regarding the Man of Steel trailer...

    Given that Nolan got Snyder to let Hans Zimmer write the score, instead of Snyder's usual Tyler Bates, I would guess that Nolan is going to have a lot of say on what happens in the film. Which, of course, is a very good thing. I love Snyder's visual approach, and with people like Nolan and Goyer...

    Let's play the superpower lottery!

    I got Arena Empowerment. Pretty self-explanatory.
