As my work/studies have taken time and money lately, I haven't had time to get anything. But even then, I don't have all that much in my "nerd cave." I've never been a collector. My walls are white, my furniture remains plush less. My games are stacked in the corner. I have no action figures or...

I don't "trust" a company, but Nintendo would be one that I would trust if I absolutely had to. In terms of games they're almost always rock solid, with a few hiccups here and there. They understand that games should be fun first and foremost, and I can't not respect that in a day and age...

Can't tell you how many bodybuilders or people into fitness I know who used to look at DBZ characters, or other fit fictional characters and go "That looks cool. I want to be that!" Then go out and do it. They'd use it as one of many inspirations. Here we see the opposite. Women - but moreso...

It really depends on the perspective you take with the lore. They play up that the Empire might regroup at some point, and it's just biding it's time. But the Thalmor are doing the same, and they are not only well prepared, but actively pressing their advantage, which we see in Skyrim. It's...

This doesn't really make sense to me. How can you say cinema can be great, when in the very next sentence you admit it's best can't compare to the best of literature? I think I know what you mean, though. When you say cinema can be great, you mean it can be great in term of cinema. As in...

So do you want better movies? Because personally I don't. Not that I particularly care for what's around now. But I've seen the greats. Schindlers List, Green Mile, Citizen Kane, Godfather. Etc. Granted I enjoyed some of those, but most was just pretty boring crap as far as I'm concerned...

MOBAS aren't my thing, and I'm not even sure if I should do this. Thing about MOBAS that puts me off is two fold. 1) They have notoriously lousy communities. 2) Their gameplay heavily focused on teamwork will force me to interact with said community since I don't have friends to play...

Civility? Yeah, there's still civility. The rules pretty much guarantee that. But little else. Lately this place has become a haunt for apparently failed comedians, who are fortunate enough to work day jobs that allow them to practice their craft on here. Then there is the political...

My problem is that when people say MCU. The "Cinematic" universe, it seems like it's mostly referring to the movies. I'm excited to see where they go with the other series. But yes, Vince D'Onofrio is a GOAT-tier actor when you let him off the chain and put his own spin on characters. Most...

Of course they are. But a simple perusing of this thread will show that the joke kinda falls flat here. Maybe try /v/ or a Reddit board, it'd be more applicable there. All I'm saying.

Depends on if you buy into the stereotype(s) of what gamers are. Are they nerds who are virgins for various reasons? Are they ones who got friendzoned? Are they the dreaded basement dwelling misogynerds??? This site is not the armpit of the internet, no matter how many variations of the...

I don't care for it. This is the type of comic shit that didn't grab me about comics in the first place. It feels stupid. Like it exists so people can make crappy tumblr gifs out of it. And cosplay as shitty versions of the characters It looks like the movie Hot Topic has been saving it's...

I should have specified the Netflix series. Let me just say this: the series is legitimately compared to The Wire. I don't know if you watch much television, or if you've seen The Wire, but it's widely considered to be one of the best shows ever. I recently watched it, and came to understand...

It's an okay show. Basically my thoughts are somewhat similar to Lost Gryphon's, though they are more toward the likes of Stewart than Oliver, as I don't have HBO. I don't know if I'd call it social justicy, but I do find the tone to be a bit more "don't agree? fuck you." as well. But...

I know this is sort of directed at the films, both DC and MCU. But have you seen Daredevil? It's the best thing to come out of all this.
