    Games you have played with non-gamers

    There are lots of great point and click adventure games out there, like the classic LucasArts games. Grimm Fandango (if you can get it to work on your computer) is absolutely amazing and on my top 10 game list. You might also want to look at Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery. I haven't played...

    Poll: Do You Cuss In Front Of Your Parents?

    I learned them all from my parents. My mom comes from a a family of dockworkers and longshoremen, and my dad is just foulmouthed in his own right, so the only words that phase me are racial and homophobic epithets.

    What do you do when you can't sleep?

    I've had serious insomnia for about 10 years, and I swear by audio books. I listen to books I'm either not too invested in getting every nuance (something pulpy) or something I've read before. It doesn't require me to keep my eyes open and so I can eventually drift off to sleep without boredom...

    Being cheated on

    I did the "I forgive you because I'm so nice and understanding" thing once, and I really don't think it was the right idea. Now, that doesn't mean there is no possibility of a relationship recovering after someone cheats, but I think it's pretty slim. In my own experience, everything about the...

    The Ghosts of D&D: Past

    Ah, this argument. I know it well, and dislike the course it usually takes. I've greatly enjoyed 4e, both playing and DMing, but there are times I miss the somewhat convoluted and arcane nature of 3.5. I was not impressed with 4e when it first came out, but I have to say it has steadily...

    Your Avatar is your face

    My avatar is already my head, just taken on a low res camera. The world does not notice.

    Bisexuality doesn't exist

    Bisexuality totally exists. In fact, the sexuality paradigm as we think of it is basically made up definitions, so there are certainly more expressed forms of sexuality than just Straight, Gay, and Bi. As Kinsey said, the only unnatural sexual expression is the lack of it, which of course...

    Are you actually good at gaming?

    I don't play FPS enough to be among the elite, but I have the reactions for it. I do pretty well at most genres, except one: RTS. Specifically, Star Craft and War Craft style, because of base building combined with army building. My latent OCD kicks in, and I can't build a base fast enough...

    Celebrity Crushes

    I don't really get celeb crushes, there's something about Anne Hathaway. I don't think she's particularly talented or the most beautiful star, but when I see those big brown eyes, I just... sorta... drift....

    Game characters that have the same name as you?

    No one has my name. I have met one other person with the same name, and it was her last name... then I had to chop her head off because THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!!1
