    In defence of the 'Friendzoned'

    I've been using variations of the term "friend zone" for years, and it's also worth noting that I think I'm a tad older than this new "generation" of "friend zoners" (quotation marks!) My usage has always been what many above have defined: a friend who has developed feelings for another friend...

    Poll: You and cooking

    Well, this may be cheating, but I'm a classically trained chef, so I ranked myself at the top. I don't work in the industry any more (Kitchen Confidential should give you an idea of what it's like. The book, not the show), but I still cook on special occasions. I mainly specialize in strange...

    Doner Kebabs!

    While I've been a member here for years, I rarely post. Seeing the title, I clicked. As it loaded, a horror came over me. "Doner Kababs? What have I done! This is clearly a reference to middle-eastern cannibalism!" But as my page loaded, and I read on, I was overjoyed. Dude, you should seriously...

    Diablo 3: Prophecy and Theories (potential spoilers?)

    Hello there, fellow Escapists. This would be my first real post (yay me...). So needless to say, I'm disturbingly stoked for the release of D3. I recently picked up a copy of the Book of Cain, and started pouring over it like a religious scholar. The most important section, in my mind, is the...

    Can you cook?

    I could, even before I went to school for it. I don't use it as much, these days, as the industry is one fubar place, but suffice to say my Thanksgivings are freaking epic.

    Question of the Day, May 11, 2010

    Gulliver. That psychopathic vulture makes me laugh so hard I can't breath. Although I must say, Frank's gold as well. Jeez, Gulliver and Frank are my favorites. What does that say about me?

    Activision Unveils DJ Hero Renegade Edition

    I was really excited about this game, and I was even thinking about putting aside the money for the special edition (I refuse to call it by its proper name. Renegade Edition? What social rules moors and taboos is this edition violating?) because of the shininess that's reminiscent of those...

    British Gymnast Makes Rest of Humanity Look Fat, Lazy

    I'm wondering, if I eat his heart, will I gain his powers?

    Death to Good Graphics!

    I'm glad that someone has finally said something. At this point most games feel like tech demos, rather than actual bits of entertainment. Indeed, most games these days are feeling pretty interchangeable, and while I understand that this is a very low risk market right now, I'd venture a guess...

    Miss California and Political Correctness

    Thank you! Their job is to shut up and look pretty. This is not an event in which serious intellectual discourse takes place. This is a contest to see who's ass looks the best in evening wear, swim suits, and who can juggle, sing, or do rhythmic gymnastics the best. Have we totally lost our...

    Germany Drops Paintball Ban, Goes After Bomberman

    Anyone has a right to protest, I don't care who they are. And this is coming from a Grandchild of Survivors. And I find it amusing that while everyone is being dumbfounded that Nazi's still exist (hell, if memory serves, a self-professed Nazi almost won in the race for PM), and saying they get...

    Poll: Can suicide be rational?

    Actually, I don't think it is. A choice to end your life is the same whether or not you get someone else to do it. Suicide by cops, suicide by doctor, suicide by friend, whatever you add to the term, it's still the conscious decision to end your life. I'd say that a large majority of suicides...
