    Do "Nerds" Not Enjoy Sports, Or Just Not Mainstream Ones?

    I enjoy sports BECAUSE I am a gamer and cosplayer. I just love being part of strong communities so being an SF Giants fan, screaming for ManU--it's kind of natural. As for sports a nerd (like me) actually participate in? Anecdotally, we tend to go more cross country and swimming--fleeing...

    Couples Co-Op Games

    A cute friend and I have just finished Portal 2 co-op. And by finished, I mean finished all the achievements. It was a great bonding experience and turned this cute friend of mine into this cute girlfriend of mine. I'm wondering if anyone else on here has had similar experiences or can...

    Do you think girls are good gamers?

    We can assume that girls are bad gamers in the same way that we can assume Mexicans are good gardeners, the Irish are all drunk; nerds are sexless, male virgins; and people with unibrows are Frida Khalo. The part always defines the whole, right? There's an invisible "all" stuck onto the...

    Favorite Discontinued snack/drink?

    Hansen's "Energy" soda and Coca Cola. Sure, you can argue that they exist but they do so in the same way that the zombie of your loved ones "exist". That is to say they are sheer mockeries; built up so that you may understand what you have lost.

    Games that stress you the f&@% out!

    Games that stress you the f&@% out!

    Donkey Kong 64 back on the N64 ties with Overlord 2. Shitty camera mixed with time element? Recipe for shoe in TV. But when it comes to frustration or humiliation, nothing beats playing Koreans in Starcraft I.

    Daily Drop: Blended Coffee

    Mercy me, I'm in love with the track on this one. And how the only sound is contact at its highest point? Cinematic. Gold. GOLD, I TELL YOU.

    Poll: Inception...does it deserve to be #3 on the Top 250 on Imdb.com

    in an industry where Slumdog Millionaire--a film with middling structure and grab-bag camera tricks--can take an award over the brilliantly paced and exceedingly well-written Dark Knight (another Nolan flick) is an industry where we can't look for a hierarchy of "deserving". Seriously, only...

    Poll: Do you like Lady Gaga?

    The song structure is great but the lyric writing is shit-in-your-custard terrible. But these are the same reasons why she makes wonderful radio and party music. There's a beauty to the way she puts that shit-laden custard in your mouth; a beauty strong enough to make you chew. You don't have to...

    Best Pet You've Ever Had

    a goose with blue eyes that followed me around without a leash. Named him Barbeque. He was awesome.

    Suicidal/desperate strategies you've tried in games

    In every racing game ever: when my e-brake fails or my car handles for shit, I slam into the side-rails to stabilize movement.

    Poll: Have you ever thought about commiting suicdie?

    Mostly, I contemplated assisted suicide. The cops found my friend strangled to death on venetian curtains. They ruled it an "accident".
