    Nobel laureate forced out of studies after making joke about women

    It's a pretty standard affair, this. Staff-member does public bad. Public criticizes the staff-member. Organization of said staff-member cuts the member off. And that's the end of that. You'll see this from any respectable business, organization or school, to name a few. If I were the...

    Do you think it's strange to be making online friends with people under 18 as someone in their 20s?

    I do find it a bit... Creepy or disappointing. I always assume the worst of people, you see, and I'll take any small piece of hint as proof of their hidden ambitions or lack thereof. If I have a younger friend, I get disappointed in their lack of tact or knowledge. We can't talk on even...

    Dark souls 3: what will your character be like?

    I'd probably make a Paladin build - strength, armor and healing being the priority. Depending on what classes are offered, I'd grab the closest - which might just be the cleric or knight. Slightly boring, but effective for winning through with attrition alone, when your skills and strats fail...

    Witcher 1 Combat

    1. No. It'll remain a headache until the end of the game. 2. If it was a terribly good story, you'd be better off buying the book the game was based on, or watch a Letsplay of it. That way, you don't need to be hassled by the game interfering. 3. No idea - never played those two, in fear...

    Supergirl pilot has leaked and it's absolutely terrible

    That's the thing though... It's impossible to counter in human logistics into the use of a Kryptonian. They are infinitely stronger, faster, and more accurate than anything humans have created in history. There is no way to compare military resources to one of these heroes (albeit it's a fair...

    Supergirl pilot has leaked and it's absolutely terrible

    Dude. I can see the point in it being hazardous to enlist potentially incompetent personnel. And sure enough, she sure sells that aspect quite well. But she's stronger than a locomotive, and faster than a speeding bullet. She can pretty much steamroll anything human-made. And she is asking...

    Supergirl pilot has leaked and it's absolutely terrible

    I think my favorite part of that little, leaked, condensed episode, was when Supergirl was inquiring to help some generic army commander or whatever he was, and he's all like "If you want to help, you should go back to making coffee". A normal human - a serviceman for defense no less, asking...

    Heroes of the Storm Tournament Will Cover Your College Tuition

    I love Blizzard, I really do, but... A tournament held in a game that isn't even out of the beta? What will they do if something terribly wrong happens in the game due to several bugs? In a tournament with cameras, an audience and cash prices no less!

    Requesting a Dark Souls 2 Mentor

    From what I can tell, you want to know two things; 1. How the controls, inventory, mapping and items work. 2. The easy way to play Dark Souls II. Well, the first one should explain themselves in time as you continue playing and experimenting. But I can tell you the basics to reach that...

    Any published authors here?

    Well, I am not a published author, but I did self-publicize a novel when I was 18. The novel was pretty shit, rushed and had enough spelling errors to make a dictionary commit suicide. But I managed to sell 20 of them at an event, so it had that going for it, which is nice. I also learned...

    How do you feel about autistic people?

    In all honesty, it all depends what person you meet with autism to define how you feel about them, rather than how you feel about people with autism in general. We are as varied as you would expect all people to be; some are barely affected, and others have insane amounts of trouble. When I...

    A Cry for Help (TableTop RPG Race Ideas)

    I think it really depends on what kind of world you are developing for your tabletop game. Having a race that interacts with the world around it works out best, and always finds a role (say you have a jungle world, so you include a goblin race that loves burning the trees down or a...

    Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin

    I don't consider this a dlc as much as a massive patchchange, kind of like when they debunked the whole healing in arena garbage or toning down the armor and damage of certain game-breaking items. Still, 6 player slots in a world seems very interesting, hopefully all 5 of them can be...

    Is proffessional disassociation always the right choice?

    A lot of companies actually have policies for their employees and staff that they must, at all times, act as if they are representing your company. If you are employed under their name, and you act like an asshat, you get fired because the company doesn't want to come of as an asshat. And...

    Are there any topics that you believe are off-limits for jokes?

    If there is one thing I have learned as I've attempted to become an author for 3 years is that it is literally impossible to make someone feel a certain way. You can't make someone offended or laugh or cry. If someone believes otherwise, they should attempt stand-up comedy with an audience full...
