    Suggestions for conversation- or ideas-driven movies?

    I suppose any movie by Tarkovsky would apply. Solaris and Stalker are the ones I'd suggest... and I guess if you're looking for this kind of movie, you might not much mind that it is an incredibly slow thing.

    Poll: Are you happy?

    I'm so full of happiness that everything i touch bursts into flames :D ... okay, not that happy. Whatever. Maybe some other time.

    Why do so many people on this forum misunderstand what 'freedom of speech' means?

    Because we tend to believe that "freedom of speech" is some old, happy, far-off thing that radiates a soothing wave of invisible benevolence in our general direction. Same for human rights. And the value of life. And other things. It's instinctive (in so far as historically and societally...

    The Premiums

    Oh, no, I got dis. Make a man a fire, you'll keep him warm for a day. Set a man on fire, you'll keep 'em warm for the rest of their life! I think this is the sort of wisdom Erin "BLOODFORTHEBLOODGOD" Stout operates by.

    Counter To "No Right To Critisize" Argument?

    I think it's fair to completely ignore an argument as nonsensical as that one. Maybe not the guy, perfectly normal people do really weird shit sometimes.

    The Premiums

    You give 'em a hand and they set your place on fire... or something. Can't remember the saying, must have been pretty stupid. I sure hope Critical Miss will see a serial escalation of fire-based puns in the future though.

    Things you don't think anyone could hate

    Basically. I just want to be patted on the back and told it's okay. It's called being an "attention whore". Shoot to kill is the only reasonable reaction, honestly.

    Shoot to disable instead of shoot to kill. Let's have an open talk about this.

    Shoot to kill is appropriate against armed hostility. It is not appropriate against unarmed running away. Especially not in public. Some police won't give a fuck either way. It's not exactly nice, but so it goes.

    If you could drop at all and move... would you?

    Done that. Didn't improve jack shit because the problem was never with my situation, it was me being a worthless ****. I'd say if you can hold a job at all, you're set up to make something decent of moving, so go for it.

    If it's the same, does it suck?

    Well, I sure loved Dark Souls and its almost the same thing as Demons' Souls. Liked Arkham City too. So I suppose iteration in itself is not necessarily bad.

    Things you don't think anyone could hate

    I know I'm fucking annoying, I do this because any release is better than none at all. And you are validating me doing so by reacting to it at all. Pro tip: if you encounter attention whores, just fucking ignore them. Or report them so they can be banned off the forums quickly.

    Which action/slasher has most advanced combat?

    Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy have really, REALLY good lightsaber combat. Especially if you activate "one hit one kill" mode (might require some work on Academy), which also allows for the brutal dismemberment of opponents ;) Yum yum blood concerto.

    Things you don't think anyone could hate

    I am full of resentment and seething anger towards the world because my life is shit and I feel utterly powerless in general. As a result, I don't much care for "nice" or "cute" and the idea of "wholesome" automatically make me extremely angry because I can only think of "Western" society's...

    Day Z: I am terrible at this banditry thing.

    First rule of banditry: Understand the "bush" part of "bushwack". It ain't safe, but you got to get as close as possible without being noticed. Literally hiding in a bush might be a valid tactic. Most important thing is keep probable line of sight in mind. How likely are they to notice you in...

    Poll: Forget the names. If you could change or augment one part of your body, what would it be?

    I accepted that I'm short... ain't nothing to do with that. I'm used to my horrible posture, and the pain is not unbearable. I don't much mind being unattractive, I've given up on finding romance a long time ago. I'm strong enough to do most types of physical work I can think of, so that's...
