    Why nerds are unpopular (this is lengthy)

    Really interesting and well thought out. I think you definitely got a good grasp on the two main camps of popular e.g. sports/cheerleaders and nerds but i'm interested to hear what you (or anyone else) thinks are the other groups in a school. I know that at mine we had kids that were essentially...

    Extra Credits: No Redeeming Value

    I love these guys, seriously keep up the excellent work. I don't know if I agree with every point but the fact your sparking debate is excellent. Just like novels I think we will always get the rip-off, shallow, pointless, quick buck games but I think your right. If Games are to be taken...

    So you just found out you're God

    Well after the initial shock I would probably go to every major religious body and say 'I'm God' and they would say 'prove it' (as being god I already know where this conversation is going) and then I would make them fly, turn them from humans to pigs back into humans just generally display how...

    The world's best fictional person.

    FitzChivalry Farseer from the Robin Hobb books. He's an amazingly well rounded character who isn't a hero but isn't exactly an anti-hero either, sometimes you like him sometimes you don't and you see him go from about the age of 6 to 40 all in all the best well rounded character I've ever read...

    be honest: does your girlfriend accept you as a gamer?

    oddly enough my girlfriend isn't a gamer but she does accept the gaming, I even showed her a couple of episodes of Unskippable and Yahtzee that she thought were funny (though I was explaining a fair bit). Most of the time I play games when she's either not here or we're getting ready to go out...

    Moments where you want to slap somebody for comparing two things.

    anything=Hitler/Nazi. I have been guilty of it myself once or twice but I immediately grow enraged with myself at such a ridiculous sentiment. Hitler shouldn't just be used as a shorthand for 'evil' or 'bad' it completely distorts and undermines the suffering people experienced due to his...

    I have nothing to say really except that was a really interesting read. Well handled questions as well as the personal perspective. I look forward to the next one.

    What kind of magic user are you?

    Sorceror / Sorceress While your powers are innate, you do not have a mage's intuition to tap into the arcane directly. Instead, you have had to learn how to literally draw out magic with your mind. This method can allow for much stronger spells than a mage could ever perform, but the...

    How Much has Gaming Screwed you up?

    I keep using phrases from games that people around me don't necessarily get. I often say 'Once more unto the breach' in the deep voice of the guy from Stronghold crusader when I have been told to do something. It can get embarrassing.

    Rebecca Mayes Muses: Heavy Rain

    I really liked it very different from the acoustic stuff and certainly the most off the wall yet but it worked really well as an entire piece. Keep up the good work.:)

    What would you buy to make the cashier wonder what the hell you're into?

    A few bottles of bleach, hammer, hacksaw, ice cream, three knives, one spoon and a hello kitty lunchbox.
