    Critical Miss: Top Five Games of 2012 #5

    I think you're missing the point with this line of thinking. The never actually wants you to stop playing. I'm quite sure the developers are happy you paid for their game and want you to experience the whole story they worked hard on. It has more to do with why the player would want to play the...

    Critical Miss: Top Five Games of 2012 #5

    You always have a choice, you can stop playing. Okay, obviously you're going to finish the game you paid for, but that what's the theme's going for, and I think it does it well.

    Town Holds Violent Videogame Buyback Program

    Then they'll use the profits to buy back even more games, and soon enough they'll basically be Gamestop :P

    Same Sex Relationships (Finally) Coming to The Old Republic

    That's good, I suppose out of the 12 people still playing SWTOR at least one of them will want to play a gay character.

    Poll: Do you think that we will go to war with aliens?

    If we ever find alien life, odds are it'll be much more or much less developed than we are, in which case it wouldn't be much of a war. It'd be like us going to war with turkeys, or vice versa.

    First thoughts upon hearing "Japan".

    Crowded. Seriously, why 125+ million people choose to live on tiny pieces of barely inhabitable land is beyond me (well, it's not usually a choice, but still). Say what you want about Texas, but at least we have some elbow room and the land is cheap.

    Albums That Are Good From Start To Finish:

    Glad to see Dark Side of the Moon on here so many times. Considering how hit-and-miss prog music can be, I feel like Pink Floyd was successful because they actually made sure everything on the album worked from start to finish. I think a harder question would be to find a double album that's...

    One Direction fanfic to be published as novel

    I'm pretty sure this is where I set myself apart from most people here by saying that the One Direction members are incredibly cute, and for a preteen-marketed pop band, they really aren't that bad. That said, the idea of teenagers making money off cheesy self-insert fanfics makes me just as...

    So I'm trying to start a tabletop RPG....

    Me and my friends thought it would be fun to play a tabletop RPG, but we really have no idea where to start. Most people say you should try to join an existing group, but none of us have any experience. Dungeons and Dragons seems like the obvious choice, but it looks a bit too complicated...

    Poll: The 'Real' Man Debate

    I think the concept of a "real man" is stupid, and 99% of our society's gender roles are arbitrary and meaningless. I might be the wrong person to ask though. I say do whatever you feel like, and don't give a shit if it's "manly" or not.

    Poll: Lack of basic mathmatical skills

    Taking Calculus in High School at the moment, and honestly, those things are a stupid way of indicating if someone understand math or not. At no point in an engineer's career will he be asked to solve "3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3x0 = ?" I do agree though that there's a serious...

    Poll: What's your current music genre?

    Classic rock fan here who dabbles in other genres, especially loves 70s era progressive rock, and is becoming increasingly bored with metal music (*shields up*). The last thing I listened to was Flaming Lips, so here: n[/youtube]

    Poll: Being proud of who you are

    Uh, contrary to my opening segway, this was meant to be a discussion on the nature of pride itself rather than the pros and cons of the gay pride movement. So he's got the right idea actually.

    Poll: Being proud of who you are

    Don't get me wrong, I totally understand why the LGBT Pride movement exists, and as I said, it can be necessary to fight bigotry with self empowerment. Maybe it's just because I faced comparatively little hardship in coming out to people, but I personally feel like it's more appropriate to just...

    Poll: Being proud of who you are

    Fairly recently, I let it be publicly known at my school that I'm attracted to dudes, and someone asked me yesterday why I don't ever express "Gay Pride" via clothing/rallies/social media/ect. I ended up telling her that while it is sometimes necessary to fight bigotry with self-empowerment, I...
