    First Person Platforming

    Your system is detailed and color-coding is cool :) American McGee's Alice had a simpler one where, if you aimed the dot marking the center of the camera view to a floating platform, footprints would appear if you could jump there. Pressing the jump button without altering your trajectory...

    The Setting Of The Last Game You Were In Is Your New Home

    Sigil. Awesome. City of Doors, hopefully that means if I don't like it I can planar travel out :) Sweet! Try and import some Yoshi eggs. Hope the world's at least as well voiced as the cartoon :D

    Poll: Which is the most offensive, N-word or C-word?

    They're equally offensive. Both are words that say "All of these people are bad, have always been, and F*** you for being one of them." ***** is okay because it only targets a specific person and usually only covers a short span of their lives. I don't think anyone seriously goes "You're a...

    Tips for a first time Civilization player

    Automate a lot of workers. Tech increases give new ways for them to modify squares for additional resources and they can work together to build things faster. Build roads between cities as soon as possible. Weirdly enough, a good strategy for Civ V appears to be building all coastal...

    The Berenstain Bears are all named Sam...

    ... Or at least they all have the same gender-neutral first name. That's my idea, that they avoid using their legal names because it'd be confusing otherwise. Can you think of a better reason why they and everyone else in town refer to the family group as Brother, Sister, Mama and Papa Bear...

    Katamari Damacy Rolls Up Minecraft

    "every cube is the same size, so there's not as much a sense of progression" If you're able to treat all touching blocks of the same material as a single unit, then you might be able to code something that can check the size of the unit against your ball, creating restrictions for a more...

    Nudist law lifted, would you go naked?

    Well, yeah. Assuming I didn't know anybody in the general area. Or my friends were cool with it.

    Let's Kill Hitler

    If it's anything to do with the bit Meredith Vieira reads about Winston Churchill visiting the capitol there's going to be some mammoth time breaking. http://blogs.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2011/05/09/watch-today-co-anchor-meredith-vieira-visits-set-of-doctor-who/

    try to imagine a new colour

    Basically, it'd be a color that appears to change colors, pulse, as you look at it, but a computer would report the shade is stable, you're only interpreting it differently.

    The Item to your immediate right

    http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-24811/mmooch+Tara+vs+Adam.htm Anyway, directly to my right is a 5 foot high floor lamp with a pointy thing on the end that tends to fall off when I move it.... Oh well, might make a decent club.

    Cartoon that was canceled you wish hadn't been.

    Definitely Pirates of Darkwater. As a collect and fetch show, they could easily have wrapped up the main plot in a few episodes. Maybe with an aftermath season where they help repair the world. Avatar: The Last Airbender could easily have had a Book of Air season where it turns out that...

    Lesser known Animals you find scary and why

    They're in the animal kingdom, they're just not mammals or chordates. No backbone, no skeleton. Sorry 'bout the allergy, my dad has that. I don't... Sometimes I pat that fuzzy yellow part on the back of honeybees when I see them. So far, they've always ignored me and flown to the next...

    Your bf/gf is now your twin!

    Okay, imagine you're in a fairly committed heterosexual relationship when, for whatever reason, your partner transforms physically - body/voice only (maybe with a different accent) - into your double. Your partner would be stuck looking like you (or relatively so, they can get haircuts and other...

    Why Little Pony?

    I watch the original series because Dream Valley is spectacularly dangerous. http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?489807-Where-I-Watch-My-Little-Pony This guy spent months watching both series of my little pony and, although the ponies generally have a live and let live policy, almost...
