    Dark Souls is awesome! (Yes, I know I'm late to the party)

    Man, all these people shitting on Dark Souls 2. I vastly prefer it to the first, although it is kind of annoying that you can't get in on pyromancy until after a certain boss fight. Waaaay less annoying backtracking and it's nice that hitting these enough makes them stop coming back because that...

    I promised I'd make a cheese thread

    I like (old) cheddar, mozzarella, and monteray jack the best :) Now, time for a really, really tragic tale. All you cheese lovers will probably cry: I'm lactose intolerant. Even with the lactase pills, I'll suffer stomach cramps and diarrhea, varying from right away to lying in wait for...

    Is a life without butter a life worth living?

    I kind of hate butter because I grew up with margarine so... yes. The only use butter has in my house is for specific baking recipes. Even then I don't use margarine for much. I usually use it to stop shit from sticking to the frying pan (because 'non-stick' frying pans are a joke). Only...

    I don't think I have any upsets this year... well there was the minor upset of learning Dragon Age: Inquisition only got 3 story dlcs :C I want more story, dammit! Give us an actual expansion like Awakening! But I'm not actually all that distressed by it. Still haven't finished Trespasser... I...

    Things in entertainment you'd like to see stop

    IIRC the root word for "trail" means something like "to pull" or "to draw" in Latin, so an argument can be made that it's an appropriate word as the whole point of a trailer is to "pull in" or to "draw in" crowds, so to speak. Or perhaps an argument can be made that people will "trail behind...

    Poll: What MMO class do you play and why?

    I favour DEEPS. Doesn't really matter if ranged or melee I like DEEPS. I don't have the patience for tank or healer. My favourite TOR characters (which is really the only MMO I play right now) are the hardcore DPS ones (especially sniper advanced class for the agent).

    Poll: Is Cracker a derogatory term? And can one be racist against white people?

    "Cracker" does not refer to the cracking of a whip. That's a folk etymology. "Cracker" is basically a ye olde times version of "white trash". In regards to the thread topic... not really. It has no power or weight behind it. There's no systemic oppression and centuries of dehumanisation...

    Local food you would miss if you moved away

    not an specific food in and of itself, but there's some Winnipeg-exclusive (more or less) restaurants that are really good that I would miss if I moved. Specifically, Gondola Pizza and Mongo's Grill. Both have a few locations elsewhere, but (especially for Gondola) most seem to be in...

    Game of Thrones - Who do YOU want on the Iron Throne?

    I want Sansa to take the throne. Because it would be hilariously badass. "lol u all thought I was a weak little girl but WHO'S LAUGHING NOW MOTHERFUCKERS >8D" and then everyone who was a dick to her gets buried alive or smthg idk. Although I don't actually have any stake in the series...

    Phrases That Indicate Something That Will Make You Mad.

    "I'm just keeping it real" is a phrase that makes me want to punch people in the face. It doesn't always come BEFORE the face-punching stuff but it's always brought out by people justifying shitty behaviour. Or they're like, faux-edgy, and those people are just so annoying.

    I play mobile games!

    I mostly play with Bejewelled Blitz (because regular Bejewelled is not free) and Temple Run 2. I also have Sudoku and the Dragon Age mobile game but that one's pretty blatantly pay-2-win and it also requires a connection to the internet and since I usually play with my phone on the bus, that...

    The most famous person from your town/city

    Louis Riel, I guess... nobody outside of Manitoba seems to give a shit though... Apparently the guy who inspired James Bond was William Stephenson and he was born here. Oh, Terry Fox was born here, apparently. I didn't realise that. He's pretty famous in Canada, not sure elsewhere. And...
