    Poll: Male Gamers: Do you consider Kratos aspirational?

    Not really, he's a bit of a douche. Now, I find Edmund Reid from the BBC drama Ripper Street to be a much better role-model. And in terms of physique, his body has too much muscle in my opinion; not drastically unrealistic, but not aesthetically appealing for me. I would prefer to have a body...

    Jimquisition: To Play The Villain

    I was always a fan of villains, when I was a child at a pantomime, I cheered whenever the villain entered the scene. The villains are dynamic, they DO things, they do things which are wrong, and revel in it. I want to be like that one day. P.S. I feel I should apologise for the furry...

    Rants and Raves: RAGE QUIT!!

    Ah yes, the lack of strafe and quick select pause. Quite a shock when I moved from 2 to 1. For me, I don't like Dark Souls for it's lack of pause menu. I accept its uncompromising difficulty, I don't particularly like its missing tutorial about fortifying the camp fire, etc. I will not...

    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: The Straw Beast

    Yahtzee's poem came dangerusly close to turning me on, but Jim's modulated voice and villain air pushed me over the edge. Verrry good, gents, verrrrrrrry good.

    Zero Punctuation: Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

    I understand Bowser's plight now. We are both voted to be the evil ones, for we reject what society is doing, and we want to change it. I salute you, brother in Evil!

    So why is it offensive to consider homosexuality as a choice?

    I was unsure whether or not to give my view, but then I saw IceForce, so I knew was in good company, and thought why the Hell not. I am not convinced that homosexual is completely caused by genetics or other inherent parts of a person; I still think there is some weight to the idea of...

    US Air Force Confirms Existence of "Brony" Squadron

    As a person who knows bugger all about musical theory, I just see it as a few puns in the songwriting. As a person who appreciates music, Jesus that was good.

    US Air Force Confirms Existence of "Brony" Squadron

    I honestly want this fad to just die out, stop getting coverage;no-one's going mad over BBC's Sherlock at present, and yet those fanbases exist in their own sectors of the Internet. This could have been a news feature talking about the patches made in the U.S. Air Force, instead it focuses on...

    That's all well and good, but I wasn't part of that discussion.

    US Air Force Confirms Existence of "Brony" Squadron

    That's another thing, I was curious as to what the other badges were. Thanks for showing us them. My favourite so far is the Bane one, myself.

    US Air Force Confirms Existence of "Brony" Squadron

    And thank goodness for that. I've been away from the outside world for a while, so I've not seen much news from this site. Because it is a children's show and not supposed to be taken seriously. Game of Thrones (from what I can gather, as I have neither read nor watched them) is an...
