    Is Ted 2 any good? (No spoilers, please!)

    It was meh. Made me chuckle at times (one particular bit at an improv show actually got a pretty good laugh out of me), but I wouldn't say it was extraordinary or anything. It also never really bored me though, so if you liked the first one, it couldn't hurt to see it.

    Videogame bars that you love

    The Milk Bar in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. I'm a musician myself, so being able to get up on stage and play every instrument myself and hear a nice song is an appreciated feature for me. Plus, I can wear my cow mask in there, and that's just fucking hilarious.

    Leafy greens to other stuff ratio in your salad

    I like a lot of lettuce, as long as it's crunchy, and I will absolutely fuck that salad's shit up with tomatoes. Beyond that, it really just depends on what I have lying around.

    Fellow Prog. Rock Fans, Help!

    This is all awesome, guys, thanks. I love finding new bands, so you've all basically given me an early Christmas. I can already tell that I'll be blowing through my next iTunes gift cards in no time.

    Fellow Prog. Rock Fans, Help!

    Noooooooo, don't apologize, this is great. I love reading the stories behind concept albums, and you've definitely convinced me to check them out.

    Fellow Prog. Rock Fans, Help!

    I'm actually a huge Kamelot fan. I would've mentioned them, but I've always considered them closer to symphonic / power metal than prog. Then again, prog. is kind of hard to define anyway, so I don't get too hung up on it.

    Fellow Prog. Rock Fans, Help!

    I'm a pretty big fan of progressive rock, and I'm already familiar with the classic, definitive bands (King Crimson, Yes, ELP, Van Der Graaf Generator, Pink Floyd, Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull, The Moody Blues, etc.), and I'm looking for some prog. rock / prog. metal bands that are closer to the...

    Specific behaviors that annoy you

    I wouldn't say your entirely guilty of that. I mean, you're an actor, acquiring a variety of personality traits is kind of part of your job. And it really only bugs me when people attempt to mimic those characters and their intelligence just so they can put other people down.

    Specific behaviors that annoy you

    I hate it when people try to mimic fictional characters. Namely, when they try to mimic the snarky, smug, neurotic, jerk-ish ones (Sheldon Cooper, Sherlock, those types of characters). I get that those characters are usually the fan-favorites, but some fans don't seem to grasp that that behavior...

    Who are your top 5 bands/musicians?

    Another symphonic metal fan? We should be friends. Nightwish is also a pretty good one, btw.

    Gaming Laptop Recommendations

    I'm not terribly familiar with what brands are reputable or high-quality, so I thought it would be best to ask here. I've heard good things about Alienware, but I also know that they're rather expensive as far as things go. The price range I'm looking at is about $1,000 - $1,500. In terms of...

    Advice on building a gaming laptop

    At first I was a little disappointed to see that there was only one post on this thread, but it appears you said all that needs to be said, so thank you. I'm now leaning more towards getting a new graphics card, considering what you've just told me. Before I do that though, how can I tell for...

    Advice on building a gaming laptop

    I built my gaming PC about two years ago, and unfortunately, my graphics card has died. Since I'll be going to college soon, and I don't expect I'll have enough room in my dorm for a desktop, I'm planning on selling the remaining parts and investing in a nice laptop that will be able to handle...
