    What historical event would you like to relive?

    Marching with Marshal Stalin's druzhina to the lair of the fascist beast and raising the red banner over Berlin would be soul-nourishing like nothing else. I don't think I would ever measure up to the heroes of the great patriotic war though. I am a softie who likes his CK2 DLC and doughnuts.

    Facebook paid a billion for instagram, if the story had said 90 billion I would have believed it.

    Game of Thrones: Who is the real villain?

    I'm not sure about the wildlings. They seem like they would be too disorganized to be a threat, and ice-zambies seem like you'd want everyone possible to fight against them. Speaking of wildlings their king was cesar, I need to go back and watch Rome again.

    Game of Thrones: Who is the real villain?

    Predictably I'd say it's the nobility for getting the general populace killed off in pointless wars all the time, though I'd have to admit that ice zambies seem worse.

    DayZ Beta Not Coming Until End of 2014

    So within the same sentence you're suggesting that your way is the only right one and then denounce me for doing that, even though I don't advocate buying now (I wait until the reduced price) - I merely point our that it's not the developers fault that some people feel that nobody will be...

    DayZ Beta Not Coming Until End of 2014

    So they should avoid a successful model that people buy into because you feel anxious that some players might not be around when you feel like buying the game? That seems like an unreasonable position.

    DayZ Beta Not Coming Until End of 2014

    It never ceases to amaze me how much hatred an extra option for spending your money can get. Nobody is being forced to buy it and it's certainly not a requirement to get the full game to buy into the early access version. They even spell out quite clearly in large warnings that it is an early...

    What do you think when you hear the phrase "traditional values"?

    Slavery, lynchings, suicide bombers and corruption. More of an international thing than just Denmark though, here it mainly refers to church, monarchy, conscription and keeping Muslims out. Not the biggest fan of the phrase, I'll admit.

    Let's step back and look at Batman.

    I guess it's the evolution of the character that has been underway for so long. Me and a friend have been watching the original batman series and it started out goofy as hell. One episode had the joker trying to take over the world by becoming the surfing champion, requiring Batman to defeat him...

    Nelson Mandela Dies

    The icon of the South African dream has passed on. When people awake to realize the misery that his successors have brought with them there will be chaos, and hopefully change.

    Is not liking Batman a crime?

    The whole premise of the batman story is that society is totally helpless and must depend upon the charity of the wealthy to address its issues. I liked batman for the coolness factor in my youth but the political subtext is tainting it.

    Poll: Have random people ever asked you to cheer up?

    I was recently yelled at by strangers for looking annoyed. How being berated by strangers when I'm in a hurry is supposed to make me forget about my worries I have no idea.

    Can you enjoy entertainment from horrible people?

    It depends. If they're used in a context in which I need to hate them then it's not really a big deal, like a despised actor playing a Hollywood role. On the other hand having someone I feel should be shot then it becomes more difficult to see them as a sympathetic character. Generally my...

    Should heroes be allowed to fail?

    Superheroes is mainly about worshiping the all-mighty individual. Shaking up the formula too much would be un-capitalist and scare away the core audience.
