I can handle almost anything (although I'm not a horror fan at all), but I can't stand electrocution scenes. Something about the invisible torture of it that makes me feel sick and weak. Slumdog Millionare was more traumatic to me than Kill Bill 1 or 2 because of the scene where they hang him in...

That doesn't even need exagerration to be cool. Also, cool that it's an actual sailing yacht, not one of those disgusting, bloated floating ostentation-palaces with 16 diesel motors, 12 televisions and four hot tubs (which in my opinion should be not be called by the same name as a real...

Oh my god, that whole pivotal part in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes where

These are really really good fantasy books: The First Law series - The Blade Itself (START WITH THIS ONE) - Before They Are Hanged - Last Argument of Kings Other books by Joe Abercrombie - Best Served Cold - The Heroes - Red Country Raven's Shadow: - Blood Song - Second book...

In one 5 minute drive I encountered three terrible drivers: The first stopped at the entrance to a roundabout, before very slowly inching his/her car into the middle of the roundabout, apparently still looking for oncoming cars even though he/she was already committed to the turn. The...

Oh, also, you can make disposable razor blades last much longer by rubbing them backwards on jeans which hones the imperfections out of the blade.

I use a katana. Ok, i use a shick quattro with titanium blades and gillete foaming gel. Quattros are excellent, when I shave against the grain, there is no trace of stubble at all. I would like to try using just a razor blade, it seems pretty badass. But it's not that big of a deal at age 14.

My friend is in DC right now, and when the quake hit he told his friends '5.9? That's nothing!' and they looked at him like he was crazy. I am from Christchurch where we had a 7.1 and a shallow 6.3 that killed about 250 people.

Fervently hope that Jesus's father has gotten some anger management classes and doesn't decide to send billions of innocent people to a fate of eternal agony...

First off - Apple. I bought an iPod touch once and spent half of my time with it trying to escape Apple's insanely oppresive control freak policies, having to become a clandestine hacker type to be able to change my background. It tears me up to see people buying iPhones and macs not realising...

Comodo is pretty good as a firewall and virus scanner. Good features, but lags your PC when scanning.

Team Fortress 2. I know a bunch of you fans are probably raging that I would say such a thing, but I utterly hate all it's mechanics. It makes me feel nauseous and tired just think about running into the enemy line to instantly die for the 50th time that minute. Not to mention it was a...
