    If you could bring back one thing about retro games what would it be?

    As someone who actually read the instruction manual, I would like to see those brought back to a point where they're more then a cover.

    Poll: Dark, milk or white?

    Dark by a hair, milk right behind it. Those two are the best, especially with fruit and nuts and cream fillings. White chocolate is only good as almond bark, otherwise it's gross.

    Poll: How do you feel about death penalty?

    I'm against the death penalty for 3 reasons. 1. It does not discourage people from committing violent crimes, I did a study on it for school 10 years ago, and US states with the death penalty on average had higher violent crime rates then states without the death penalty. And while the...

    The Next Elder Scrolls Game, what should it have

    Oh boy, the things I want! And the things I don't want. I suspect this will be a long post. For a summary just skip to the bottom. Things I want: - deeper npc characters, more dialogue options, more npc's that can converse - I want npc's to act more friendly if I'm a guild mate, or...

    Do you run water during the shower?

    My shower water flow is as follows: turn water on, wait a moment for it to get hot, enter shower, shower, reach for towel and simultaneously turn water off.

    Why is the combat in the TES games so bad?

    I don't feel Skyrim's combat was so bad. Morrowind is still my favorite game of the last three titles. But that had more to do with it being a deeper world. That being said, the hit or miss mechanic was not a detractor in my view. In fact I oppose the always-hit system that's be in since...

    Should we have sympathy for flood victims?

    Living on earth is living with the risk of natural disasters. Well I agree that some places people live is a little bit foolish, they still deserve unconditional sympathy and support in the event of a disaster. Also the rebuilding process is a chance to rebuild in a way that may prevent future...

    Poll: A Tricky Moral Dilemma

    Well, 2 things come to mind. First why did the single man chose not to enter the draw? Was it to avoid the small chance of death? Or avoid the much higher chance of being given human flesh to eat? It is statistically more likely he was opposed to the idea of cannibalism on a moral ground, and...

    Hitting... Women

    A better rule is you shouldn't hit anyone. That being said, I fully understand how passionate emotional moments can make physical confrontation seem like a good idea. My brother and I have certainly hit each other as kids many times. But we never hit my sister, maybe the odd push, but it was...

    Anti-Rape underwear

    Unfortunately this is probably correct. If the rape is being conducted by total stranger, they are going to become frustrated and likely more violent by this obstacle. And the underwear can be removed, but just with more suffering likely inflicted. It is quite possible a rapist with a knife...

    Your first console?

    First console I owned was the N64 because my parents didn't want to buy my brother and I a SNES. We had some computer games, educational ones =p The first console I played on was the neighbour kids NES. And then I had friends with SNES and SEGA Genesis. So I certainly played those games as...

    Poll: How do you pay your friends?

    It depends, did you formally hire your friend to do work for you? Or did you ask your friend to help you install a fireplace you already bought? In the first case, if you hire your friend to do his job for you, I would expect to pay his normal rate, if my friend wants to offer me a discount...

    Will there ever be another World War?

    True, but given that most other armed forces in the region are not any more impressive, and sheer numbers counts for a lot from a defensive perspective, they are not a nation to be easily trifled with. When Einstein gave the quote, nuclear weapons were a new technology, there was a genuine...

    Will there ever be another World War?

    1. Iran is not a regime on borrowed time, their newly elected president is much more moderate, and perhaps will open the way for a more productive relationship with the western world. 2. Iran has the 8th largest number of active soldiers in the world, and the 6th highest number of reservists...

    Poll: You find 40 thousand dollars ?

    I would take it to the police, odds are I'll get it back after 120 days they have to give it back to the "finder" ie. me. After all, it's most likely drug money, so they won't be filing a report to get it back.
