    Games That Disappointed You...

    Spore, it was supposed to be HUGE and you were supposed to be able to do SO MUCH. Huge, yes, stuff to do? Not so much.

    Games that you would rather watch videos of than play yourself.

    I really like League of Legends, but those pro matches just blow me away. Watching a well executed team fight or strategic play is incredible.

    I just met Lady GaGa

    Brandon Sanderson bought me food once. Was hanging out with him and some other fans, playing Magic at Denny's at one in the morning. Good times.

    Who was the first Doctor you ever saw, and what episode?

    Predictably, Nine, my first episode was Dalek, and I thought it was pretty darn awesome.

    is 0 even or odd?

    The only real excuse people have for calling 0 not a number is that they say it is nothing. They say this based on "philosophy". Well, here's some philosophy for ya. What is a number? A number is a representation of a concept. (SOME concepts, not ALL concepts, so don't get snippy on the...

    What is Your Ethnic Background?

    European American, which is longhand for white. Something more specific? Okay. I've got ancestors from Sweden, Germany and I think Switzerland, just off the top of my head. Probably got a little bit of other stuff too. I know that one of my eigth great grandfathers was a pirate! (but...

    The Rest of the Story

    Thank Adonalsium, someone else likes Second Sight! It's one of my favorite games, story wise. And I liked the balance between psychic powers, gunplay and stealth. Plus all the little details in the environment. What I don't get about stories in games is how, even in the framework of...

    Buffy and the After-School Special

    I really dislike how the "magic as drugs" metaphor was implemented because it basically erased how magic worked as set up in previous seasons. There was no hinting at addiction or possible negative consequences other than screwing it up by doing a spell that gets you killed or going crazy with...

    Question of the Day, December 21, 2010

    Remake VI so I can get a chance to FREAKING PLAY IT. It's supposed to be one of the best and I don't happen to have a SNES, but I still want to play it. DO IT NOW.

    New Spider-Man Announced for Movie Reboot

    They say, "He was in Doctor Who!" and my spirits soar! I see which ones on IMDB and now am depressed. Those two episodes he was in? They were the WORST episodes of Doctor Who in the ENTIRE REBOOT SO FAR. crap

    Poll: What is the Big Deal With Bloody Shakespeare?!?!

    Um, Shakespear(e) basically invented English as we know it. And literature. And drama. Basically, it's the only culture we white people are allowed to have so leave it alone! I don't think he's the best in the world, but he's really dang good and we owe him a ton. So I say yay for...

    Rumor: Johnny Depp Starring in Doctor Who Movie

    NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOO!!! This is terrible! There's just so many things in this that make me want to scream bloody murder. This has to be a hoax, it just doesn't fit. None of it. And I seriously doubt the Johnny as the Doctor thing. They said that he would be involved not that he would play...

    New season of Doctor Who ranting (some spoilers)

    The Daleks are as much a part of Doctor Who as the Doctor himself, get over it. But the bright primary colors just make me facepalm. They're supposed to be scary! You just don't get that with bright colors. I'm still getting a feel for how Matt Smith compares to his two predecessors, so no...

    Games that you thought sucked as opposed to everyone else.

    I honestly think Dead Rising sucks. Clunky controls with no characters I cared about at all, boring goals and nothing that hasn't been done better somewhere else to be found kept me from playing for more than twenty minutes. It was awful, everything I despise in a game.

    How to improve Pokemon

    Y'know how people talk about different MMOs coming out as the "WoW Killer"? If nintendo put out a Pokemon MMO, that would be the LITERAL WoW Killer. I mean really. It would be THE most played MMO of all time. This is an awesome idea. If one of the main ideas of having people play together...
