Read the Qu'ran - you should probably do that anyway, but especially if you are dating a Muslim. If she is truly dedicated to her faith, there are some disturbing things you need to know. The Qu'ran demands that faithful Muslim's lie to non-Muslims in order to advance the goals of Islam being...

I use 'gal' all the time, and 'chick' rarely, usually when trying to make a joke. Chick just seems to have more humour value.

In two ways; first, by being convinced meaning can be inherent (it's the way the human brain works; it tricks itself into believing meaning is inherent in order to facilitate communication). Second, by accepting interpreted meanings on a large scale; symbolism, for example. A Crucifix doesn't...

I have a double-minor in tech theatre and philosophy. I spent four university years getting said degree. Having a post-secondary degree, I can be put on the fast-track for officer school. Then I signed up as an enlisted man. Not even an officer, which would have been easy pickings for me...

Ron Howard for Arrested Development or: Orson Welles. So much Orson Welles. He narrated something like 37 movies, including History of the World, Part One, which is my favorite Mel Brooks movie.

The game is excellently written; the characters are all complex, the setting is deep... And also generic as fuck. Despite being well-written and well-plotted, both the setting and the characters within are stale and generic. Add this to the re-used Bioware trope characters (Alistair, Sten...

Drakengard. It was like Drakengard. That is all.

Athlete? No. But I am in the army. Does that count?

There's not much I can add except; yes. I totally agree. Not very useful, but yeah, I totally agree.

Can I just say 'every character from Mass Effect 1/2'? Because, while they COULD be space-marines form a certain point-of-view, they are all well written, deep, emotional and (for the most part) devoid of terrible cliche. Seriously; Garrus, Wrex, Ashley and Kaiden are the 'macho'-est...
