    Poll: Let's settle something right now, can you defend yourself with a gun?

    if you're in mortal danger then i personally think its quite acceptable to use a gun as a last resort. i mean, you've got to play your cards right - if they have a gun you dont want to pull one out and make them shoot first. And if i did feel forced to shoot them (say they were coming at me with...

    Poll: What's Your Favorite PlayStation 2 Game of All Time?

    wouldve been ratchet gladiator, but it wasnt there, so i went with R&C 2. they were both great - funny and enjoyable, but id say gladiator was the best of the two

    I think I hate to talk about music more than anything else.

    i dont mind conversing about music but i cant say its a popular topic for me because, similar to you, i dont really share the same taste as anyone. i dont really dislike any particular genre, but i cant say i have a favourite song, or even a favourite artist. Im something of a jack of all...

    Poll: Do you automatically respect people in the military?

    i definitely respect soldiers for what they do. these are (on the whole) very brave people who give all their time and sometimes their lives to protect us. granted the iraq war was something we should have been involved in, but thats a question of politics and the military as an organisation -...

    Question about non-US schools

    i dont have anything exactly like that in england (though other schools might) but we do a load of other cool stuff - cake sales, mufti, sponsored strenuous activities, etc. but i think thats just the headmaster being uber-keen on the charity side of things. not sure most schools do quite as...

    Humanity's Limits

    Just a point to anyone who thinks we may have achieved FTL travel by now - we wouldnt, for the simple fact that anything with a mass cannot achieve it. We can come very close (in theory) but it is impossible - as you approach the speed of light you begin to contract. The closer you get the...

    Humanity's Limits

    as a species humans are already way more capable than we seem. We have the technology to send people to mars - we have done for decades. Its just Americans have a tendancey to spend money on guns rather than space travel. As a result of this trips to mars were delayed and we sent a robot up...

    Well that date was weird...

    i have a great story about one of my dates: It was my first date with this girl i hadnt known very long, and up to then i had been acting fairly normal. but i am more than capable of being rather.. unorthodox - as she was about to find out. Anyway, it was a sunday about noon ish when we...

    Spec Ops: The Line is the best (military) shooter ever

    the story aspect of the game was amazing - by far the best plot to a military shooter, and the mechanisms to help build on the story really were done well. The gameplay itself, however, was far from mind-blowing. It was good, and i did enjoy it, a lot. But i dont think i enjoyed it anymore than...

    You can say one sentence and everyone on earth will hear it.

    "You - yes YOU! Only you can hear this. You must follow these instructions - the future of mankind depends on it. First, at seven thirty tomorrow night you must go to -" and thats my 30 words. see how freaked out the world goes after that

    So I'm a jack of all trades. So?

    if i were you, i really wouldnt care - as long as you enjoy the games it doesnt matter how good/shit you are at anything, although, things are generally more enjoyable if you dont die constantly. But constant death isnt really a problem for a 'jack of all trades'

    The Best Advice You Ever Received.

    what ive learned about life hasnt really come from being told stuff - any advice tends to just go through one ear and out the other. I find its much easier to learn about life (and adapt your actions accordingly) through experience. that would probably be my advice to anyone: "if you really want...

    The best PS2 games.

    Ratchet Gladiator. It was pretty short and the plot was flimsy at best, but it made sense and was pretty hilarious. also THE GUNS!!!! *orgasms*

    The term "Gamer".

    i would call myself a gamer, albeit a more casual one. A lot of my free time is spent on games, but im quite happy to do other stuff like go shooting or parties and nights out and stuff. But i predominantly game. I have nothing against the term 'gamer' in itself, but it does mean different...
