    Where your avatar comes from

    It's the G-Man in the Tardis. I thought it would be cool, I really do not know whether or not I was right. Still, as I am back after a bit of an escapist forums hiatus I think I might change mine again. Wouldn't mind one of them fancy dancin' ones.

    When you want to write but your well is tapped

    There are two things I find help if you just can't get yourself writing. Again, these are things that help me, I hope they help you, but I guess they might not. The reason I sometimes have trouble like that is because there are too many distractions (subconscious or otherwise) around. So the...

    Poll: Your steam hours and other fun facts

    Oh god. The most worrying thing about this is that 'Farming Simulator 2013' has come out very much on top. That just ain't right. Edit: Actually, I have told a lie. Mount and Blade won, Farming Sim came in at number 4 (after Arma II and Total War Medieval II)... still worrying as it was my...

    Rip Apart A Movie, ANY MOVIE

    As much as I enjoyed the actual film, The Dark Knight Rises really annoyed me at the end with the whole Bane/Talia reveal. The whole film he is built up as this super genius, perfect anti-Bat character, and then right at the end. Bang. He gets completely de-clawed.

    Status of Batman in the popular culture.

    That and the fact that Batman has such a wide array of villains that are equally (and in some cases a lot more) interesting. I think with Batman, its not just that individual character. Its the associated package. Edit: Just realised I didn't really add much to the discussion. In answer to...

    Poets

    Have a look at 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' by Samuel Taylor Colleridge. Its fairly long, but it has a strong narrative and for the most part rhymes quite nicely (which I like). I found it a good one to start off with when I decided that I wanted to try and start reading some poetry.

    SOPA is dead apparently...

    Am I right in thinking that rather than it being dead, it is instead just being shelved until February? Or is this a new update since then?

    Dream Emails

    I used to (and still occasionally) do this thing where I wake up, and immediately fall back to sleep. Problem is that I then dream that I am going through my morning ablutions; shower, shave, etc. Then is the gut-wrenching moment when I realise that I am sleeping and wake up late and end up...

    Say something nice about the Star Wars Prequel. If you can.

    I remember being in primary school (aged about 10 or 11) and my teacher showing us an early trailer for Episode I. All I openly remember about it is the image of a Trade Federation Ship landing in a forest and a bit of a Lightsaber fight. I remember thinking that it looked like the most...

    What do you think the above users deepest darkest secrets are?

    Every facet of my personality, every distinguishing feature or trait. All that makes me, me. All of this you have summed up in two sentences. From this day forth, when asked about myself, I shall simply answer "I like coffee" before striding away purposefully leaving a "That's it" dancing on the...

    What do you think the above users deepest darkest secrets are?

    Well as the person above me has already had their deepest secret revealed: I shall simply expand on it. Those things that you wish you didn't know, but that haunt you every night. It was all because of a certain event. It happened on this night didn't it. 19th of January 1987. It was dark...

    Poll: The reson why i think the world have been unfair with Bale's Batman

    I think Bale and his darker voice add a bit of realism (as opposed to... *facepalm* Clooney, who obviously just went in and did his usual thing). I think this is what I like about the Nolan/Bale Batman, it all borders on the edge of the possible.

    Aliens life discovered on Titan, interpretations.

    "They warned, however, that there could be other explanations for the findings." I hate it when this sort of report ends with these words. It just means that it wont be wicked-cool aliens, it'll just be some sort of hungry moss. I want a report to end with: "So yeah, Titan. Aliens...

    World's best/worst dressed librarian.

    What do you think when you see the above person's avatar?

    I don't want to run into that in the woods... like, ever. Although a small part of my mind is also thinking: "That is friggin' cool"
