Ahoy, I think I might be able to help you out with some more recent information. I've been in the Air Force for about 5 months and have just graduated tech school. Some of the information you've been given here about the USAF is a bit outdated, while other stuff is completely untrue...

No, but he has helped me realize the difference between good fantasy and trash fantasy. After reading his books, I realized I needed to seriously up my standards. Believe me, there's still quite a few books that can meet the raised standards, Martin doesn't hold the copyright for good writing...

And he probably never will. It's worked well for him so far. Ridiculously expensive and pointless 'swag' aside, I might be motivated to spend $15 on this if the game seems to be decent enough. There's plenty of artists there worth supporting.

7, 14, and 19 are all Homestuck cosplayers. 7 is two Aradias, 14 is Dualscar, and 19 is a group of Rose and Roxy cosplayers. I'm surprised so many are in the gallery.

Y: The Last Man is ridiculously good. Not just one of the best graphic novels, it's just plain one of the best STORIES I've ever read in my long years of voracious media consumption. I see it on your list, so do yourself a favor and read this one from start to finish.

Myself. I've never found a morale system that I can follow as closely as my own. Thus, if I can choose a person to most likely be the chosen avatar of some other-wordly powers exerting themselves on humanity for their own good, I must choose myself. Of course that's a pretty silly thing to...

Admittedly, I haven't played the beta at all, but I have seen some videos of it, and, from what I can tell, the combat looks about as fun and interesting as World of Warcraft's. Which is to say, it might have been fun 8 years ago, but these days I expect something better than target-locked...

At this point, it sounds very much like Guild Wars 2, with its exploration-related quests, playstyles, zones devoted to PVP, shared PVP/PVE gear, etc. So I have to ask the critical question: How is the combat? If the combat is mediocre, it will make or break the game. Why should I play ESO...

As a fan of Homestuck, this... well this could pretty much go any number of ways. It will almost definitely play off as some kind of parody, which works to Hussie's strengths. Still, releasing just before the holidays doesn't give much time. I guess it has probably been in the workings for a...

Having also been a hardcore raider from WoW, and having tested out many of the F2P and B2P MMOs currently out there, the answer is: No, there are no worthwhile MMOs out there. F2P MMOs have an inherently disposable feeling to them that completely put me off of each and every one. You...

Since you've read the whole manga, would you recommend the anime? Is it worth sticking with it?

I have higher hopes for it than that. They haven't given any indication of it becoming bullshitty yet. I can understand why you don't like Eren, pretty much his entire character so far is rage personified, but he seems like an appropriate person for the world he lives in. I'm not sure how they...

The big one that jumps to mind is House of Cards.

Every CSI-esque show where the victim or murderer was a gamer or geek makes me groan the instant that episode's theme is clear. These shows consistently feel like they were written about some preconceived notion of geeks and nerds formed in the 90's, somehow unaltered over the decades. Pretty...

I probably won't be playing any more MMOs until some developer realizes some very important things and makes a game that: 1. Doesn't invest money into creating some generic Good Vs. Evil or Faction vs. Faction or other generic storyline. Instead, developers should realize that the players can...
