    Guild Wars 2, 6ish months on

    Been playing pretty much every day since release. Got 8 chars, 2 of which are at 80, the rest in the 30-60 range. Still have tons of PVE goals to do, even with my main. Also, spending a lot of time in WvW.

    So Idris Elba might be the next James Bond

    or, you know, THE WIRE. there's simply no valid excuse for not having seen it.

    Best James Bond Theme song

    For me Bond music is ALL about the brassy horns, so my choices have to be Goldfinger. Man with the Golden Gun has my favourite variation on the main theme though

    First thoughts upon hearing "Japan".

    It's pretty sad, though not entirely unexpected, that this thread has turned out to be an excuse for people to vomit racism, insults and ignorance. If someone asks you to think about any country or culture and all you can think of are superficial negatives and false stereotypes, YOU HAVE A...

    First thoughts upon hearing "Japan".

    Japanophile is correct and the proper term, much like Anglophile or Francophile. "weaboo" is a slur used by insecure kids.

    Mechwarrior Online open beta is open

    I'd be really interested in it if they also created some co-op PVE missions/campaigns... I can just picture my lance jumping out of a landing dropships to assault dozens of AI tanks and mechs, trying to accomplish strategic operations like securing the Comstar compound, local govt buildings...

    What is your GOTY so far?

    Guild Wars 2 It's the only game I've played since it was released. I'm certain that I'll love X-Com and Dishonored when I get around to playing them.. but it might be a while.

    First thoughts upon hearing "Japan".

    Which is also pretty much exactly what has happened with the terms "nerd" and "geek". so.. it's more of a general culture thing, rather than one specific to japanophiles.

    Poll: Peeing in the shower.

    I'm appalled at how most of you seem to think this is acceptable. If you live alone then I guess you are free to be as gross as you want in your shower.. but if you share that shower with anyone else, peeing in it is absolutely disgusting and inexcusable.

    First thoughts upon hearing "Japan".

    my first thoughts are of a deep and rich culture and the most gorgeous of landscapes.

    Opinions on Whale Wars?

    I'm still surprised by the level of restraint that the whalers have used in dealing with the "activists". The Sea Shepherds play very dangerous games and risk the lives of every single person on all the boats involved; collisions in the middle of the ocean can go REALLY bad, REALLY fast.

    Should I Buy the Books?

    Bother yourself, there are many important elements missing in season 2 from A Clash of Kings. as in, entire characters you won't know about, or will have the wrong idea about.

    League of Legends Player Accidentally Streams Masturbation

    On the topic of age and legality, could this not also lead to problems for the the pay site he was viewing? since they were streaming porn to a minor.

    I'm new to Magic the Gathering

    While the rules are complicated and new elements get added to them with every new set, they put a LOT of effort into keeping everything working with internal consistency. as for Teeka's Dragon, it's legal in the Vintage and Legacy formats, but not in Standard or Modern
