    Strangest/funniest things you've done while drunk?

    I'm not sure I understand... This happened when you were drunk, I get that, but this is the strangest thing done under alcohol? This was like a typical Friday night when I was in college... Just sayin, and not trying to put you down! :D

    Poll: If you had the ability to take over the world would you?

    I get the sensation of setting up a game of Civilization V on difficulty of 1... If it was a forgone conclusion, than I'll skip to the part that I care about; Governing. Constitutional Autocratic Indirect Representative Democracy. Establish a constitution that declares you the sole...

    Strangest/funniest things you've done while drunk?

    Hmmmm... Plucking random college story... So it was the first day of moving in as a Freshman at Kettering University in Flint, Michigan. My parents had just left for the day and I'd met a few or my "pod" mates in my dorm (dorms were broken into floors, then pods... don't ask me, I didn't...

    Humoring the Internet

    How old are you? Not trying to criticize, but I just tend to notice that younger adults in the middle-high school age really don't understand or appreciate political dramas as much as those who've had some political science courses or follow state/national politics. If you are college aged...

    Does anyone have any book recommendations for a fan of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

    In a more Fantasy tip, the Enchanted Forest Chronicles [http://www.amazon.com/The-Enchanted-Forest-Chronicles-Searching/dp/0152050523] by Patricia C Wrede [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_C._Wrede] is a 4 book cycle that has the same sarcastic narrative that Douglas Adams used in his...

    "You Must Have Liked It If You Finished It"

    I can completely appreciate this as the older I get the older my music preferences seem to get as well, now being in my early 30s enjoying a lot of blues and traditional R&B from the turn of the last century, including folk, country, bluegrass (which I would put under country), big band and...

    What animal from fiction would you have as your pet?

    @LostGryphon I don't want to act out parts of the Never Ending Story... I want to be in it!

    "You Must Have Liked It If You Finished It"

    See this is where I have to stop and disagree with you. Up until now I have pretty much agreed with most of what you've said and thought Amethyst was talking out of his ass, but I realized the sum of both of you is zero... You see you're both talking at polar extremes, because realistically no...

    Show off your keyboards!

    I'm rezing this thread because I've been shopping for some new keyboards and wanted to see since some with newer mechanical keyboards have gotten some play time on them, how are they? Right now I'm using a MS Sidewinder X6: I just ordered this guy to get me by since I've been having...

    What makes you a "HardCore" gamer

    What makes me a hardcore gamer...? My expensive gaming rig... My expensive, gaming oriented peripherals... The nearly 40+ hours/week playing games outside of work... Those are decent enough reasons I suppose.

    Poll: Books that would make EPIC GAMES!!! (how would you rate mine?)

    This was the first thing that came to mind, but the second is the world of Midkemia/Tsurani that is the Rift War cycles by Raymond E. Feist. But we would have to completely ignore the Krondor games because they didn't do the series justice at all. I'm seeing a game with a...

    What is the psychology behind Steam taking all my money?

    Man, after reading the OP, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is asking this... I tell you, as soon as I saw that all of the "pre-order bonuses" were filled, I signed on with the rest... If not only for X-Com, but for those wonderful, useless, beautiful HATS!

    Someone important read this.

    @Op All joking aside, I ran into an issue at work with my main desktop not being able to stay logged in after you've closed the browser. I also had issues with this site being unable to login via FB and would have to reload the page to attempt to login normally. I corrected this problem...

    Games you like that are "uncool" to like.

    I guess I should have just assumed outright that because I'm on an actual gaming forum, that people would actually have liked/loved/worshipped this game like I did. I seriously knew no one - zip, zero, nill - that played this game. That means I knew just as many people - zip, zero, nill - that...
