    Your Favorite Podcasts?

    Some good ones already listed so I'll only put ones I haven't seen thus far. For comedy I enjoy: Comedy Bang Bang (a mixed bag which includes some of the funniest things I have ever heard and some of the dumbest), The Smartest Man in the World (Greg Proops talks to a live audience and the...

    True Detective: The King in Yellow

    I have to be honest that I got very worried when I read the supernatural theories people were coming up with. I couldn't agree more. Even the serial killer, while very dangerous, was not the charismatic murderer often depicted in film and tv nowadays.

    Good Rpgs on pc?

    Well if someone is going to go as far back as the Ultima games then try Betrayal At Krondor (available on GoG). Graphically it's quite pixilated but the story, combat and world are fun to explore. You may need help with a walkthrough in chapter 3 though.

    Poll: Your favourite chocolate company (of these 6 listed)

    You can get an "Amen" from me around that. Apart from boutique chocolates (which can be quite costly); Whittakers is easily my favourite - their Dark Ghana is pure awesomeness. oh yeah; of the options given it's Lindt. Their chili chocolate bar and their blueberry one are both fantastic.

    Poll: Chicago schools will start to teach sex ed. in Kindergarten

    I voted for "depends on what they teach". The article said this: "Under the new policy, the youngest students ? the kindergartners ? will learn the basics about anatomy, reproduction, healthy relationships and personal safety. Through the third grade, the sex-ed lessons will focus on the...

    Witcher 3 Screens Show Off the Snowy Land of Skellige

    Without spoilering anything: I am assuming, based of the title, that this will potentially conclude the larger story-arch that began in the first Witcher game? The one about why/how Geralt is alive (that is from the very beginning of the first game so I am ruining nothing), finding out the...

    Do you preorder anymore

    I only buy about 2 or 3 new titles a year (and a few well-reviewed older titles when steam has a sale). As a result I have to be picky. I used to pre-order quite a bit and was often happy with the games I grabbed (Fallout 3 and Bioshock) but I have also been let down by games that were less than...

    Poll: Should I Grab Baldur's Gate 1 & 2?

    Well it's open to debate; I just don't want to sound like an arrogant old-school gamer "you kids and your fancy controllers where everything is easier to control, the game tells you how to play it and you can't die until you have played for two hours." To me the Baldur's Gate was very easy to...

    Poll: Should I Grab Baldur's Gate 1 & 2?

    The game is very fun and looks good compared to many in it's era because they opted for sprites and "painted" backgrounds at a time when polygons were coming into vogue but often ugly looking. By today's standards it won't blow you away in that department - but it doesn't have to and it retains...

    Game series with the best music.

    Do animals think in the noises they make?

    There is actually a lot of research done on language acquisition/development in humans and comparisons between us and other animals. If people are interested I suggest starting with Steven Pinker's classic book "The Language Instinct" and going from there. It outlines a lot of the initial...

    Looking underage (The Good Vs. The Bad)

    At 15 I could often pass for 18. This was useful for watching movies that required me to be that age (as long as no one asked for ID). I also got hit on by women in their mid-20s when I was 17 and 18 taking on holiday part-time jobs. I found it a bit weird and, even though the women in question...

    Poll: Guys. Do you have any tattoos?

    I don't but I wouldn't mind one or two. The problem is I don't have anything really significant worth tatooing. My father in law has a double headed eagle on his back (he is from Albania and it's on their flag) which is cool and, being from New Zealand, a lot of people have Maori and Pacific...

    Male clothing colors, what's acceptable to you?

    I don't like overly bright colors. My wardrobe is mostly business shirts and suits. They tend to be whites, blues, blacks, pinks and purples (either solid colors or with stripes - depending on the suit I am wearing). I only wear jeans on the weekends.
