    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: The Dream of Freedom

    Yahtzee seems to me like the far superior declaimer. His poems are absolutely phenomenal, and he recites them with knowledge of tone and metric. Jim's are entertaining, tongue-in-cheek, lovely satire. One is literary gold, the other is entertainment gold. Both do their jobs...

    Miracle of Sound: The Call (The Elder Scrolls Online)

    I really wish I could be positive about the game myself, but it's almost assured to be a horrid failure on the game side of things. On Lore, it is absolutely a failure. None of it makes sense. None of it. Some nuggets of interesting knowledge in there, but for the vast majority, it just ...

    Full Metal Genesis

    This is distilled brilliance. ANd also encapsulates why I find FMA to be such a superb manga/anime

    Worst game(s) you've ever completed

    Has anyone mentioned Lord of the Rings: The Third Age at all? Terrible characters, terrible writing, shiny bling graphics for the PS2 at the time, but all in all it was horrible! The worst turn-based RPG I have ever played, everything so shitty that, to this day, it's the one game I have ever...

    Jimquisition: Boob Wars and Dragon Crowns

    I am sorry, Jim, but this is just not going to happen. No one is interested in discussion and conversation, those things are not worthy of attention. Instead, lobbing insults and arguing from end to end is the norm, and it will not change because people just like to get themselves into a...

    An Open Letter to Off-Topic

    Incidentally, I now believe we should conduct all arguments in Shakespearian rigmarole. Lords and ladies of the Off-Topic, let thy quills cast forth thy mightiest thumb-biting.

    An Open Letter to Off-Topic

    This is exactly why I opened a civil discussion on the issue of vitriol and lack of moderation in forums. I kept seeing the nonsense, and I could hardly stand for it. I lurk more than I post, frankly, and these forums are sadly becoming more and more vitriolic, while only going all the less...

    On Polarization, Moderation and Reasonability

    I can scarce be the only person in these forums who has given some thought to the way discussions tumble down the cliff into the proverbial Crack of Doom of bashing and intolerance, in these that are the fertile fields of the Interwebs, am I? So many threads, so many forums, so many blogs, so...

    Opinions You Just Don't Understand

    I always fail to understand why people find it in them to believe that those who are overweight are a burden on healthcare systems, as if they deserve being left in the dust, when the alleviation of pain and suffering, physical and mental, of a human being is the very objective of a universal...

    BioWare Talks Next-Gen Graphics and Art

    Hear hear! I find it highly foolish that Bioware is held to the very same standard as the games in its past when so few, if any, of those employed by them were those who were truly responsible for the classics Bioware created. They do not deserve rose-tinted nostalgia, these are not the...

    lets collectively lol @ these "I need feminism because..." pics

    Sad to say matthew here is very right. From a strictly employment basis, they are absolutely worthless. Of course philosophy isn't worthless, but you won't score a job on philosophy alone, because its core principle is basically idle thinking. And idle thinking is just a big no no in a modern...

    lets collectively lol @ these "I need feminism because..." pics

    Crikey the lunacy is strong in this one. Do they even realize that men and women are both part of one species, and that the demise of the male is very much the demise of the species as a whole? Including them? Have they discovered the immortal gene or something? Wrapping my head around...

    He was still tossed into jail outright. I don't know about you, boots, but I would say that is a pretty big foul of justice systems, and it's a foul that happens often in rape cases, where the wrong person can often be found tried, convicted and slammed. The accusation alone is injustice enough...

    lets collectively lol @ these "I need feminism because..." pics

    I would definitely say you suffered a severe injustice, and I would definitely say that the girl was so in the wrong it is frightening, but tell me, why do you say "rape culture my ass" when you were a blatant victim of it? Wouldn't you say you, yourself, were the victim of this rape culture...

    lets collectively lol @ these "I need feminism because..." pics

    Thank you, boots, for being a voice of reason, but really, as my captcha says; let go. As you said in the first pace, it's time to leave. It was then, it is now. You are changing no one's mind here, no matter how much we would like to. Just ... just rest, mate. Really. There are better, more...
