    Strange things that get your blood boiling

    People who still think "Czechoslovakia" exists. It's been over twenty years. There's a reason I said "Czech Republic" and mentioned my family being "Czech". Also the few people who confuse Austria for Australia. They do exist. People who don't even try to understand math. They don't have to...

    Escape to the Movies: Warm Bodies

    When I first saw ads for Warm Bodies, it reminded me of Fido, with an obviously current setting in place if the Stepford-esque one of Fido. Are there further parallels or is this just imagined on my part?

    Nintendo Weighing Majora's Mask, Link to the Past Remakes

    Majora's Mask. It's the first video game I ever owned, I'm fond of it and its creepy apocalyptic mirror-worldiness. Though I would be a-okay with both

    Valve Unleashes the Potato Sack Reunion

    I hope there is a timer at the end of this, and that it's for an insanely large chunk of time. A timer either to December 21, 2012 or whenever Valve is hoping for the apocalypse, or a timer counting down from near-infinity.

    Super Mario Land's Goombas Invade Times Square

    I was there too. And since I did not have the privilege of having a press pass...I got the shit end of the stick and saw how poorly organized the event was. The crowd quickly went from a vague snaking line to a mob where every nerd with a five year old or NES nostalgia had a stick up their ass...

    Review: Michael Jackson The Experience

    I think the ONLY appropriate way to play this game is the way is was presented at NYCC: On a stage, in front of a crowd, with a smoke-covered stage, multi-colored flashing lights, large screens...and a crew of 5 other people being fools with you.

    Rules Lawyering

    Dear Escapist staff: I think I just fell in love with all of you. You've also given me all kinds of ideas for my game on Friday. Thanks.

    Why nerds are unpopular (this is lengthy)

    I always found it a little weird that as a person who went through the American public school system, I never saw the caste system TV led me to believe was in every school everywhere. But then again, I'm from a big city, not suburbia. Schools here are tightly packed, hundreds of schools in a...

    NYCC 2010: Have You Seen This God-Puppy?

    The signs were ACTUALLY all over New York. Not just in the Javits Center, but I saw a few of these on telephone poles and lamposts on the streets between Penn Station and the Convention Center. Made me smile.

    Poll: Steampunk or cyberpunk?

    I like them both.

    Is D&D and other tabletop-RPGs "unpopular" with girls?

    I ONLY started playing D&D because of girls. My school, a women's college, had/has a fairly large 30+ member role-playing club that wasn't exclusively female. I've since graduated and as I type this, my friend and I are rolling up new characters for a friend's campaign. Moreso than being...

    Finland is the best country in the world...

    The country of my origin is the Best for Sex apparently. Wonder if there's a correlation between that and drinking the most beer per capita...

    How tall are you?

    I think I'm around 5'8" (~173cm). But with 4 inch heels...I can do some damage. Mostly to my own feet.
