    Poll: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - Which opening was your favourite?

    Again was a fucking great song, but Golden Time Lover has the advantage of playing over the best opening in terms of animation. Plus, it's just awesomely fast and sort of funky. Rain was very good as well though. It seemed to fit that point in the series tonally more than the others. Period is...

    Favorite film fight scenes

    Crazy 88 fight scene from Kill Bill. Tarantino's big mistake with these films was putting this in the 1st one. No way he could top it. Someones already mentioned the Oldboy hallway scene but that's also one of my favourites. It feels raw like an open wound, probably due to the fact that...

    Films you could watch on a loop

    I can't watch even my favourite films on a loop, It kills the magic. Really, I'd put as a reasonably large space of time between viewings of a beloved film so it still feels somewhat fresh.

    Music you thought you wouldn't enjoy but ended up liking

    M 14 year old self would probably be shocked if he knew all the stuff he'd end up listening to. Honestly, the only music I don't like is that which appears in the charts (UK charts to be precise) but even that gets a good song once in a while. I guess I never expected to like J-rock, but the...

    Recommend me a good comedy anime

    Surprised nobody's mentioned Hetalia: Axis Powers yet. It's a historical comedy where the humour is based almost entirely off of national stereotypes. That description probably doesn't do it justice so watch a few episodes. each episode is really short so you'll know if you like it pretty quickly.

    Feeling Depressed? Express yourself!

    Dude, who is this aimed at? Are you inferring things about the OP? or are you arguing that people who have any of these privileges shouldn't be allowed to feel depressed. Yeah, there are much worse situations to be in, but depression isn't something to shit on, regardless of social status.

    You're a final boss. What's your fight music?

    I can't think of a more oppressive, soul crushing song that something by Primus. And If I'm a final boss, I'm going to be fighting a mental battle as well.

    Is 'The C Word' Sexist?

    Nope. Hell, In Scotland it's a term of endearment and only the biggest prudes get offended by it. I can't even think of a context in which it would come off as sexist.

    Recommend me some music?

    Really, I think the Pixies always have to be mentioned. They're closer to punk but they ca get pretty heavy and their singer has what I believe to be the best scream ever. In terms of metal, Type-o-negative are a really cool goth metal band. They're best songs are all really long and demand...

    Do you swear much?

    I've gotten to the point where swearing just fits naturally into my speech without me even thinking about it. "Fuckin" has became my equivalent of "Uhm". This absolutely doesn't mean I'm coarse or witless, just that I don't feel there's anything offensive about such words unless given context.

    Three books to base a society on.

    1. Breakfast of Champions 2. Confederacy of Dunces 3. The Tiger that came to Tea Ha ha, yes. A world based of the teachings of Boethius where we are all characters in another mans novels and the most powerful commodity is - friendship? Yeah, I haven't read that third one since I was 5 so I...

    Favourite cover of a song?

    I just like this one more. Plus, I get smart arse credits for mentioning the lesser known cover of an obscure Bob Dylan Bootleg. I also forgot to mention Tainted Love by Soft Cell. Particularly the extended version.

    Favourite cover of a song?

    It may be a song from a movie, but it counts. And this is probably the best cover song I've ever heard. Every Jeff Buckley cover ends up being something stellar. He also covers I shall be released by Bob Dylan and it's brilliant to. But this one just affects me the most. There...

    Non-Offensive group music

    If you're looking specifically for chilled music then try the XX. They're a band that specialise in very mellow songs. I'd also recommend the albums Unpatterns and North by Simian Mobile Disco and Darkstar respectivel for some chilled electronica (although some of the songs are a but...

    ''Wait... they're voiced by the same person?!''

    I first knew of Liam O'Brien as Akihiko in Persona 3 and every damn NCR grunt in Fallout: New Vegas, in which he has this sort of gruff, no-nonsense voice. Like a toned down version of Asura. So it took me a few episodes to realise that the campy, british voice of Lloyd Asplund in Code Geass was...
