    Last thing you googled?

    "First Edition of "The Jew Of Malta" Christopher Marlowe catalogue analysis" Without the quotation marks around the whole thing. I was attempting to find some non-wikipedia information on why the oldest (known) surviving copy of the text is from 1633, a good 40 years after the play was...

    How do you feel about circumcision?

    ... I can't help but notice the word "irrationally" slipped in there, in order to dismiss the opposite side. I read every comment and noticed something different. The most vocal pro-circumcision group seems to be women... who have never slept with an uncircumcized man. There are a...

    The Last Fighting Game Character You Played As Just Used His/Her Ultimate on You!

    Tager pulls off that stupid astral finish? Frig, that's one of the worst ways someone COULD go. Screwed.

    Opinion on ME1's Mako

    I liked it. My favourite part of using it was managing to wedge it through the one section that is supposed to force you to go on foot on the planet with Liara on it. Cinematic of a geth ambush on foot, followed by you being in the mako. Very, very easy pickings from there. Good times.

    "Classics" that you were underwhelmed by.

    You recognize that these books are "well written" but you "cannot expect others to enjoy the same things." That's fine. I don't think any one's ever said something along the lines of "all classics are good and if you don't like them you are a BAD PERSON" (actually, ok, a few decades ago they...

    "Classics" that you were underwhelmed by.

    I wonder how many of these opinions come from academically minded individuals. There is a huge difference in how, say, a Bachelor of English will dissect a narrative and how a layman will. "Blade Runner," I must confess, is a movie I have never seen. "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?"...

    Songs that are Your Guilty Pleasure

    Uhh, preteen girls actually do listen to In Flames, Lamb of God, and Children of Bodom. To be honest I'd be surprised about Heaven Shall Burn, but seriously, they do. They pick it up from copying their teenaged siblings (usually aged 13-16) who have atrocious taste in music and like bands such...

    Songs that are Your Guilty Pleasure

    I don't know if you caught it from my tone, but I was basically accusing him of enjoying pop pablum marketed at adolescent girls.

    An experiment with regards to the essay I'm writing.

    Nope. Music theory ftw. I'm a little lost as to why they felt the need to point out the base of the triad in the progression, though. On modernism: Makes sense to me, but I'm an English student. Haven't gotten to looking at any modernism, but still. My own contribution:

    Poll: Better Armor or Better Weapon?

    It's a case of diminishing returns. If you can already kill something in one shot, killing it MORE in one shot is pointless. If things already can't do any damage to you, then doing even less than none damage to you is similarly pointless. The vast majority of games - tabletops too - do...

    Songs that are Your Guilty Pleasure

    Correction: you only know entry level metalheads. Where Pantera and Metallica are still considered valid bands to enjoy. Try some Coroner, some Dark Angel, some Gorod, some Anata, some Morbid Angel, some Gorguts, some old-school Bathory, some Atheist, and just try to tell me that I don't...

    Songs that are Your Guilty Pleasure

    It's socially unacceptable amongst metalheads, too, on account of those being atrocious bands. Fie! Fie on thee!

    Poll: How long will humans survive?

    The original point being, however, that nukes don't necessarily spell the instantaneous end of mankind. Which is an important thing to note, either way.

    Songs that are Your Guilty Pleasure

    Bikini Kill! Nothing wrong with riot grrrl! (I love the concept but I'm not really into punk as it is so riot grrrl really isn't for me, but seriously, I respect all the bands and such.) Me, though? Hmmm. Ah Ha - Take On Me Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancing Pretty...

    Poll: How long will humans survive?

    I personally expect the Earth's ecosystem to give out, and in such causing humanity's extinction. We currently use unsustainable farming practices, and this will cause more and more areas which are not arable while continuing to balloon our population. We will, unless something dramatic...
