    Recommend something scary! (or else in spirit with Halloween)

    The scary thread! The longest running thread all about scary things! It always comes back to life after a while http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.211546-The-scary-thread This should occupy you for a very long time.

    Family

    I think that Suchong is going to be reincarnated, like a phoenix. That fire is him dying, and he will be back good as new.

    The American media really hates video games huh

    I remember watching a documentary about why Muslims are discriminated in the media, and many newscasters said that it was just easier to do. Say Arab or Muslim and you have a cause for some terrible action without having to explain the reasoning behind it. It seems that way for video games too.

    I stuck my toe in the water, now I'm ready to dive. Anime Advice Thread

    I always recommend higurashi no naku koro ni (when they cry). I warn you, its very brutal and confusing. If you can handle it though, it has one of the best stories and best story telling of any anime I know. There are 2 seasons, and the others afterwards are not important. Other animes I...

    The satisfying weapon you've used in a game recently

    The Blades of Chaos from God of War. Actually, all of the chain blades that Kratos gets are satisfying, with the Blades of Athena being my personal favorite, but the Blades of Chaos is the weapon that I used recently.

    Is there a non-violent option?

    Cant you go through Fallout 3 without violence? You have to be really good at speech and stealth, so that you can avoid combat, or have everyone else do things for you, but I think it is possible.

    Poll: Let us remember The Banned...

    There has been quite a few of The Banned. I actually would not have remembered most of them if it wasn't for this thread. I was lurking on this site for almost a year before I joined it, and it certainly does feel different than it did before.

    Most beautifully fucked up character you've seen

    The Mayor from Prentisstown in The Knife of Never Letting Go (a book that is easily one of my most favorite books and is recommended to everyone). He seems likes a cunning psychotic individual, but he is actually insane, in the truest sense of the word. Also, most, if not all, the characters...

    Kansas may halt cursive education

    I just like the look of cursive. I have been writing almost everything in cursive lately, trying to improve my handwriting and make my notes go faster and look prettier. Im glad to say that it is working so far.

    Incest?

    I am nauseated just thinking about it. It bothers me a lot.

    Let's talk about pens

    I disagree. I think that if you are not doing your math in pen, you are doing it wrong. Personally, I never want to erase my math work, as I sometimes need to reference my previous work, or continue it when I realize I had the right idea the whole time. As for writing utensil, I usually...

    Best FPS mechanics

    As one person said, the feel. Call of Duty has beautiful reload animations, but the guns dont feel to powerful. Guns feel powerful in Counter-Strike, but they have terrible reloads (although they fixed that in CS:GO) So far, the game with the best gun mechanics has to be killing floor...

    Poll: How do you have your tea?

    Any kind of tea, without suger, milk, or any other outside flavoring. However, it must be loose-leaf tea. I tried it once, and never went back to tea-bags. If the tea has to be iced, it also needs to be fruity.

    Nostalgia

    I personally love cs. I love the new one too. I am pretty good at cs, but I dont rage often. You just have to get used to the fact that no matter how good you are, there will be some rounds where you will be one-shotted before it has even been ten seconds. And no matter how bad you are, you will...
