Star Trek fandom is pretty surreal. I don't even know if that's really a thing anymore since its been out of the public eye for awhile now, but seriously, I used to question the mental stability of some of the people I met through the fandom. Do you remember Barbara Adams, the juror that wore...

*stupid lag*

I eat out. Seriously. I have no time for doing dishes, cleaning the kitchen from top to bottom (did I mention I have two cats?), keeping track of what to eat and what to toss. There's also the problem of I love eating a wide variety of food, so I can't just buy a case of ramen and frozen...

I think the only reason Rush falls under 'prog' is the lead singer's really weird voice. I never liked the guy's vocal style, but you have to admit, no one else out there sounds like him. I recommend 'Fly by Night', its a decent Rush album.

It depends on what your view of 'boring' is, and where you want to park yourself. If you put yourself in the 503 area code (Portland/Salem) part of the state, its very urban and it is definitely not boring. Myself, I live in the Southern part of the state, as far away as possible from...

Someone already mentioned Silent Hill 2; so props to them. I haven't seen anyone bring up Fatal Frame or Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land though, so I'll go there. The original Fatal Frame was a game you didn't play with the lights off. The voiceacting, the pacing, the atmosphere, the...

Try finding a 24/7 gym and get a trial membership. I joined a gym last month after wanting to get into better shape and get back into bodybuilding again, and I'm really having fun. You don't need friends to go, and, maybe you can buddy-up with another gym regular. If you can't find a gym, go...

Glass, definitely. Or can. I really go out of my way not to drink soda, and when I do, I don't drink much of it, so the servings in a glass or can are just right. Plastic... ugh. I hate plastic. I wish they'd ban that abominable crap from food and beverages all together. Everything that...

I live in Southern Oregon, and honestly, I refuse to get into the gun argument. How about we approach this from a fresh prospective: We, as a people, don't know how to talk to each other. Oh, sure, we can sit behind a computer screen and troll with the best of them if the topic arises...

... Is coming to an end as of the release of its 36th issue. If you have never read the comics (the early issues are rare and difficult to find) or watched the cartoons, both can be found on YouTube and I highly recommend both. Just a warning on the comics on YouTube; the quality is sometimes...

I have to go with SmugFrog on this one. If you don't have the backing and well-wishes of the creators of Sword Art Online, you, at the very least, will be slapped with a 'cease and desist' order. At the worst, you'll get sued for much more than what money you've raised from crowdfunding. I...

Get a referral from your primary doctor to a rheumatologist; they are doctors who specialize in joint disorders and can prescribe the correct drug therapy if needed for your condition. Hope it all works out.

Mine is someone's rendition of James Sunderland from Silent Hill 2. I normally don't like characters being re-imagined into someone else's style, but I've always liked this drawing and how cryptic James looks in it.

I think a bigger question you should ask is why the immediate hatred towards people who have done nothing to you? I get that, for whatever reason, people are trying to dearly hold onto the concept of 'All humanity sucks and is stupid', but really, this is kinda much. I see it a lot in people...

God, I've always hated this question with a passion. I don't believe in 'role models'. Once you start putting an individual or group of people on a pedestal, the sooner their true colors come out. Lets look at the former 'Subway' spokesman just for an example of a road to hell paved with...
