    Symbolism flew over my head-Movies

    I'm oblivious to most symbolism regardless of medium, though this is mostly because I don't buy the English major's view that everything in a story has some kind of hidden symbolism. Yes, those curtains could be blue because the writer had some kind of deep-seated depression stemming from...

    Poll: Coke vs. Pepsi: Revelations

    I'm from the part of the country that asks what kind of Coke you want, so my battle lines are pretty clear. That said, Dr Pepper or Mountain Dew are the 2 I mainly drink.

    Most Cringeworthy Moments in games

    The entirety of Ride to Hell: Retribution. Just pick any part of it and it's pretty cringeworthy. On a more serious note, the later half of Fallout 3. The amount of pointless and avoidable deaths in the later half, starting with your dad and ending with you(unless you have Broken Steel)...

    Consentacle - the tentacle alien sex card game ( yes really! )

    I hate to say it, but I'm surprised something like this didn't already exist. I guess it was mostly a matter of people who like that sort of thing generally keeping to themselves about it, but then the existence of the Queen's Blade battle books should have told me that that may not have...

    Poll: The End of Dragon Age: Inquisition

    Hoping for good. The multiple choice ending seems possible, but I doubt that's going to be the case. Odds are the story will be closer to Origins in how the endings are done.

    Poll: Civilization Beyond Earth: Your Favorite Path?

    Purity/Supremacy. I like the benefits of Supremacy units, specifically the 20% bonus when adjacent to other friendly units, but at the same time Battlesuits(basically 40k marines, banners and all) as well as LEV tanks and destroyers are just too awesome to pass up. I do like to get harmony...

    Poll: Who knows who you truly are?

    My family sees what face of me they wish. Someone to be admired, to be counted on, to expect great things of. My co-workers see me as slightly eccentric and standoffish. My friends wonder how I'm not in an asylum somewhere and I wonder much the same about them. Strangers see me as a...

    Poll: Worst gaming trend?

    Online only DRM, no question. Microtransactions/F2P are annoying, but generally avoidable for any decent game, journalism corruption is avoidable by checking out multiple sources for gaming opinions, DLC/Season Passes I just avoid unless they're for a game I actually like(Dark Souls 2, for...

    Poll: Sexual Assault

    I stand 6'2" and 230, so I can't say I've ever felt threatened in that way. Have feared for my sisters a few times, but that's about it. Full on rape has a fairly clear definition(involving penetration or sodomy), but what constitutes sexual assault can vary. The military defines it as any...

    Poll: Do You Add Sugar Your Cream?

    Nope. Closest I do is add sugar and creamer to my coffee.

    Poll: Thinking of Playing Team Fortress 2... what Class is best for Newbies?

    Heavy. First time I played him I was laughing maniacally with occasional bouts of "CRY SOME MORE BABIES!" the entire match. Then I switched over to the Pyro and played "Do you believe in magic" the next match. Good times.

    Valkyria Chronicles is on Steam!

    About 5 hours in and yeah...they're a bit disappointing. Lancers somehow have better movement than snipers, though how the only unarmored soldiers manage that is beyond me.

    Poll: Ubisoft, Incompetent? stupid? Or both?

    To be honest, they're worse than EA. EA at least tries to make itself better, meanwhile Ubisoft does the same things EA gets bashed for and then has the nerve to try and make excuses for why their games can't perform as well as expected by claiming that higher resolutions and framerates either...

    Idea for a 40k Game. An Imperial Guardsman Roguelike

    Honestly, I think a Rogue Trader style game would make a better Roguelike than one focused around the Guard. There is so much potential for exploration, intrigue, and combat with that one. You can deal with the Inquisition, Space marines, Pirates, Xenos, and the Ecclesiarchy for the...

    Poll: Do you agree with the criminalisation of drug use?

    Some I think should be medical-only(see cocaine, opiates, and a few psychedelic drugs in their current legal state), some should be legal, though taxed and restricted(marijuana and a few lesser drugs), while other should be banned outright(meth and most others that don't fit into the first 2...
