    What are your favorite board/card games?

    For me nothing beats good ol' fashioned chess. I also quite enjoy a bit of scrabble.

    Writing a book

    As others have said, the first paragraph is far too long for a book sleeve. One major problem here is that you haven't really said anything about the plot. A sentence or two enticing the reader with what kind of story you want to tell is important for grabbing their attention. It doesn't have...

    Personal rules when posting

    Avoid posting about moral opinions in threads about isms and controversies. I also generally try to avoid posting anything which is likely to start an argument. Additionally, I avoid posting in threads with over a 100 posts unless the topic is humorous, light-hearted or entertaining.

    Your favourite insults

    Most of the taunts from Chivalry: Medieval Warfare are quite hilarious. "Your like a wench, who's natural talents are poor". Also "When I run you through next is your mother". It sounds so hilarious in the game because of the old-school accents.

    What is your faovrite game soundtrack?

    Theme From Battlefield 1942. Can never get enough of listening to that. Morrowind's theme was also stunningly beautiful. These are my two favorites but an honorable mention also goes to Beginning 2 by C418, one of the intro's for Minecraft.

    Your Best to Worst games from 1-10?

    10. Minecraft, infinite amount of possibilities for stuff to do. Most of the annoying bugs have been tackled quite well, with even more looking to be eliminated in 1.8 9. Morrowind. Incredibly fun RPG. Always lots of interesting places to explore and stuff to find. None of that annoying...

    Poll: Your favourite words.

    Juggernaut, perfect word for anything designed to be incredibly bad ass.

    Games you've always wanted to play, but may never get the chance to.

    I'd love to play Flanker 2.5 or A-10 Warthog but I'm not sure if I've got the commitment for those sort of games. They're quite complex and if you were to buy a hard copy of Flanker it would come with a 200 page manual.

    Poll: Are adaptations inherently problematic?(Read OP)

    I can understand that in certain situations an adaptation needs to be made different from a movie or TV series. Sometimes you can't always fit in everything that is in a book. There is also the fact that most movies usually don't have a narrator, meaning that somethings which can be simply...

    I am sick of/ fed up with.... [fill in the blank]

    sick of talent shows like The Voice and Australia's got talent. Sure I don't have to watch them but their ads are on TV constantly and the "singers" only really know how to scream and give people ear damage. The judges are constantly telling all the participants how special they are and that...

    What is your favorite science fiction ship?

    I quite like the Battle Star Galactica. Particularly in the scenes where they show some of its armaments and the way they get loaded up. It has quite a bit of a no frills feel to it which I found interesting.

    Poll: Are you left-handed or right-handed?

    I write left-handed but operate a mouse with my right hand. I use scissors with my right hand as well. For the most part I'd say that I'm dominantly left.

    Games that annoyed you more than they should have

    Somehow, I just couldn't end up liking the World Congress System in Civilization 5 BNW. It was mainly because I felt like it didn't make a great deal of sense. Why would one have to stop building nuclear weapons or stop trading with a country just because a bunch of other Civs say so, what's...

    Name your favorite slowly paced movies

    Predator. It does pick up pace a bit later on, but during the start its mostly twenty minutes of trekking through thick jungle. I find it builds up tension and character development quite well and makes the predator feel a lot more ominous and foreboding.

    Most Dangerous Animal You've Handled/Been Close To

    Probably my cat :) He likes to bite people to let them know he has enough of cuddles. Though so long as he isn't staring at your arm he's usually fine. I remember once though when I was on holidays I was feeding ducks at a pond and there was one particularly angry mother goose which...
