    You know Video Games have ruined you when...

    You manage to pack for a two-week vacation in a single suitcase due to your mad Tetris skills. You start hoarding bottle caps. You know, just in case.

    Which personification of death would you want?

    After further consideration (and a good helping of inspiration from Twilight_guy's avatar), I've decided on the version from "Nothing in the Dark", an episode from the third season of the original Twilight Zone. Robert Redford played Mr. Death with dignity and compassion, and just a great...

    Which personification of death would you want?

    Extremely appropriate given your avatar and the awesome episodes that pertained to this very topic. OT: Probably the On a Pale Horse version, that way maybe I'll get lucky and kill him first and assume the office.

    Bastion Review

    Hearing the voice I automatically thought of Wolverine, and just kept waiting for him to say "Bub", then i find out the voice actor's name is Logan? Priceless. I'm sure it gets better as you play, but the over-dramatic narration with the Shatner-esque pauses just didn't do it for me.

    Mike Mignola's Killing Off Hellboy

    I see this as a "Hellboy takes over hell and fulfils his destiny" type of thing. Glad to hear that Mignola is changing directions, and whether or not he even continues with the character, what he's done has been great fun and for that, thanks.

    If the World Ends, Do You have Any Useful Skills?

    Three years as a combat medic, a year in Korea as a driver, and then eight years in a cold-weather SF unit in Colorado has prepared me for nearly any eventuality, but honestly I'd almost prefer death over pulling out and dusting off my training. Me and the outdoors have an agreement; I leave it...

    Poll: Help me settle this.

    True, but it sucks nonetheless. Those things would be totally convenient! OP: Salads are awesome.

    Giving Fallout: New Vegas a second chance

    The music in NV is great, I've downloaded a lot of it from iTunes and have a playlist with all the old country music that drives my girlfriend nuts. That alone was worth it for me ;) New Vegas, like any open-world games, is pretty much what you make of it. I've gone back and have been...

    So I just got behind the wheel for the first time...

    First off, congrats. It's nice to have the added freedom that transportation offers. My first time was pretty non-eventful; driver's ed in High School. Now, the first time attempting to drive a standard transmission in my friend's Pontiac Fiero, which is about two sizes too small for me...

    The right to complain...

    This kinds sums up my thoughts as well. If it's something you can't change, then complaining about it is pointless. If it's something you can change but haven't tried, then complaining is just another word for whining. The only times that complaining seems to be worthwhile is when you're...

    American Humour is Terrible

    Likewise. I also hold the opinion that Coupling was one of the most consistently funny sitcoms on television from any country. That being said, I still prefer South Park and Futurama to nearly anything else still playing, although How I Met Your Mother and old re-runs of Friends still make...
