    Poll: Emma Watson's Speech on Gender Equality

    If I recall correctly, those vaccines are really only effective against cervical cancer, so giving them to men wouldn't be all that effective at the moment. That said, there are several vaccines being developed for lung, bladder, colon and metastatic prostate cancer. So, it's not really so much...

    Asexuality

    Hmm, I've always considered demisexual to be on a different level than the gay/straight/bi/pan/ace identity, because demisexual doesn't really state who you're attracted to (same gender/opposite gender/both genders/everything inbetween/no gender) but rather the measure in which you are attracted...

    Do you give your Pokemon themed nicknames?

    Well, given that Pokemon X was set in some sort of alternate Universe french, I decided to go with a musketeer theme (but only after I'd already stupidly decided to call my starter Amelie) So, that's: Chesnaught - Amelie Azumarill - Athos Minun - Porthos Charizard - Aramis...

    Have you ever tried something in real life you saw in a game and it turned out...

    Well, lockpicking certainly isn't the joyride they show you in games and/or movies. Because as it turns out, hairpins can get jammed in the lock, leaving you with A) a closed door, B) a broken lock and C) a very pissed-off landlord.

    The last videogame character you played as is trying to kill you

    Oh man, this is going to be bloody... In the right corner: Versus Ultimate showdown, I tell you.

    Guardians of the Galaxy Full Length Trailer Is Hilarious and Familiar

    Okay, I'm onboard. This looks awesome. Even after watching it twelve times. OOGA CHAKA bitches.

    What is your opinion that is the polar opposite of popular thought?

    Martha Jones is quite possibly my favourite companion of new Who. She was the only thing that made Ten and his dramatic emo-act somewhat bearable by just dealing with shit on her own despite of it. I disliked Rose, she and the Doctor often reached painful levels of smug, especially near...

    The Elder Scrolls Online Goes All-Out With Eight-Minute "Arrival" Trailer

    I agree with the first. Those milk drinkers obviously weren't up for the task of animating glorious fur! On a more serious note, I feel like they sort of went with the lowest common denominator here: You've got your rugged fighter, you've got your suave thief guy and your pretty female elven...

    It's the little things... Your favorite small details in games.

    In Mass Effect, when Tali says "Go for the optics!" as a reference to Minsk and Boo's "Go for the eyes!".

    What are things you dislike that you try so hard to like or pretend to like?

    Torchwood's Gwen Cooper. For narrative and personal reasons, I can't STAND this character, but god-fucking-damn if half the fandom doesn't go on a hissy-fit if you so much as point at her. So, because I don't feel like getting into cyberwars, I just sort of avoid the subject altogether.

    Has a movie ever uncovered a fear you didn't know you had?

    Two words: Paranormal Activity. I didn't sleep for three weeks after watching that damn movie. And it's not even all that scary, but it really fucked up my perception of what happens while we sleep. I never even considered the possibility that something could happen to me while I was out...

    Should Nintendo go handhelds-only?

    Jesus Christ, I hope they're not going anywhere, because what the hell else am I going to distract my young cousins with during looooong car-drives? I mean, I get you guys are all about specs and quality, but the handhelds also serve another purpose. They're sturdy, the internet is still...

    Poll: What gender is your best friend?

    Female with a male best friend. I think my mom always expected me to end up with him, until I was the best (wo)man at his wedding last year.

    Have you seen a younger kid with a 3DS?

    my two nephews, aged 7 and 8, have one each.
