Oh, sweet beans on toast. The irony is so thick you could spread it with a fuckin' knife. Watch where you're slingin' words like "equality" around, buddy...it could come back to bite you in your sanctimonious arse. Also, to the poster above me...rock on, brother, rock on. I like what I hear...

As relentlessly cynical as this is, I do actually quite like it. I'm a distinctly isolationist person (fine, I shan't sugarcoat it: I'm a pathologically depressive geek who flat-out loathes most of the people around me)...and y'know what? I have a wonderful, beautiful girlfriend who gets it. She...

I've always preferred Green Arrow, but I catch this guy's drift head on. Wonder Woman, besides being arguably one of the weirdest characters in the entirety of the DC multiverse (No, seriously. This shit is bananas.), is just kinda...iunno, bland. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that other...

The Dark Brotherhood quests are some of the best in the game, although as a 100% Stealth Geek I'm obviously biased. Still, I really did enjoy them--fairly subtle, some halfway-decent voice acting and dialogue based around them (for bloody once in that otherwise putridly abysmal voice-acting...

Captain Picard-tested, Captain Picard-disapproved. Slightly more OT: This right here is why I've never played an MMO for more than a few months, and why I've made it a policy to quit playing if I find myself spending more than about $5 a month. (Needless to say, I quit many many MMOs.)...

As a former bassist, I'd like to add my own humble recommendation: the Kramer 450B. I ended up painting my own Kramer in yellow and black, and let me tell you, it was a joy to behold. Plus the thing serves as a decent means of warding off rabid fans...it's built like a fucking battleaxe...

Lessee, two candidates here. On the one hand, we've got Roibert a Briuis (Robert I "The Bruce" in Modern English), a far distant grandfather-type best known for achieving Scottish independence from Britain during his kingship. Sadly, my connection to him is...tenuous at best, given the sheer...

*Points, nods, weeps.* Aside from that...the noise made by Zubat in 1st-gen Pokemon games is definitely looping in my personal Hell.

Well said, and well quoted. OT: Nonono. Just...no. I don't want to "design" a perfect woman, with all of the Frankensteinish imagery that such a euphemism conjures up. I want to have a woman who is perfection for me--bright, sarcastic, a bit geeky, witty, and very patient--to fall into my...

6'6", 190 pounds. Capable of benching upwards of 250. Can run a five-and-a-half minute mile. Also plays Magic and is actively working to turn his girlfriend into a D&D'er. Defying stereotypes FTW. Glad to see that many other Escapists do the same. :)

Oh, go on. Also, slightly defying the "no n00dz" rule because pineapple-claw Wolverine is awesome. Best guess as to my age will be winning a small prize which may or may not be a cookie.

Game section? Not as such, but I can think of a game portion that requires--indeed, is utterly governed by--luck rather than skill: The loot system of any MMO ever. And anyone who's ever ground a raid for days only to get beaten out on Need/Greed by 1 damn point can back me up on this one...

Lessee here...good Lord. OK. About 9 inches above average--6'6"--and roughly 22 pounds above the average, at 190. 7 to 9 hours of exercise a week, a mile that averages about 7:30 but has been clocked at 5:14, 48 BPM resting, able to do 11 pull-ups before failure (the last few tend to get...

I'm probably a geek on balance, whatever that's supposed to mean...I'm still not sure which of the triumvirate of dork, nerd, and geek is considered the most socially acceptable by the general populace. (Dweeb is bad, though. I do know that.) Anyway, here goes nothing: Geeky -MINECRAFT...

Oh dear oh dear oh dear...I really can't resist. On a slightly more serious note, either of the following is pretty excellent:
