    Poll: How common is your name?

    my name is jeremy, which sounds common but honestly i've only ever met a few. its rare enough to show up as "misspelled" when i type this.

    Poll: Your computer's weakest link...

    i'm satisfied with my computer for the most part, but the weakest link is my 8800gts graphics card. everything else is okay: phenom ii 945, 4gb ram, 500gb raid

    Your signature melee weapon

    I'd really like to go with a katana, but I'm afraid I am just way too uncool to look dignified trying to use it. I'm awkward in the Napoleon Dynamite way, not the currently-popular Michael Cera way. I can't imagine myself carrying it, trying to look badass and succeeding. It would have to be...

    What's the big deal about PC games?

    For me there's still an appeal in building a computer from scratch, selecting the parts and such specifically for an upcoming game. I imagine it's like the satisfaction some get with cars. There's the mouse and keyboard which is much more comfortable and natural-feeling, at least to me, when...

    People who are universally liked.

    Alan Rickman. You can't hate Hans Gruber no matter how much you should. Dave Grohl. Never heard of anyone who met him and didn't say "He's awesome" Sarah Michelle Gellar. Never heard anyone say "I hate her" Stan Lee. Nuff said Barry White. Try. You can't I'm less confident in...

    Being Asexual In A Sexual Society

    I'm probably not legitimately asexual, but my feelings towards sex are largely 'meh' and I can totally see where you're coming from. I've actually mentally explored the possibility that I may be asexual before, but like you I still always can at least conclude that I'm heterosexual. While I do...

    What bands do YOU think are overrated? (Don't flame, just state your awnser and move along)

    Led Zeppelin. No problems, really, but as far as the 'best ever' rep they've got, I just don't agree

    Are you usally taken for something/somebody you are not?

    I'm mexican (mostly), but people usually don't know until I tell them. I guess they assume I'm white. It's usually like "You're MEXICAN?!" Also, a lot of people seem to think I'm gay (I'm not). I guess I just look it, although I do act like it sometimes, so I understand how people can get that...

    I really wish I had watched/read -insert item- earlier

    Firefly for sure. I'd heard of it, and I knew Serenity was based on it, but I never would have given it a second had a friend of mine not sat me down and had me watch it. Since then, I've gotten into everything else Joss Whedon has touched

    I need a new band...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SREZ-ggSDjM The birthday massacre. they kind of have a 'gothic alice in wonderland' vibe. you could call it new-wave revival or goth rock or synth rock. normally i'm not into any of those things, but they mix normal rock and synth together so well, its a rare joy...

    Poll: If you had a choice, would you be asexual?

    I'm already kind of 'meh' about sex. There are things I'm just way more interested in, and as far as relationships go I'm more interested in the nonphysical aspect. An opportunity is nice, but I'm not going far out of my way for it like I'm in a high school movie. But in the case of kids, nah...

    Poll: Would you abort a pregnancy if the child would have Down Syndrome?

    No. It's my kid and I don't think I could ever kill it unless something serious (like, pregnancy is killing my wife, knock on wood) happened. If you abort because you think the kid needs to be put out of his future-misery I think that's probably wrong (as in incorrect). Down syndrome kids can be...

    What the heck happened to X-play? (or G4 in general)

    I don't watch X-PLAY anymore, but I never really liked it. Even when G4 was not-so-bad, the X-PLAY hosts weren't that great, when they reviewed a game they'd find a glitch or something that looked like humping and just play it over and over, they did sketches that weren't funny, and to be honest...

    If you could have the outfit of any video game character...

    Dante's get-up from DMC1. As long as I was ripped and had white hair, etc

    Would you stop your children playing violent video games?

    i would be a hypocrite if i said he/she couldnt play a violent game. i played doom in 1st grade, and grew up with FPS after that, but it was balanced with consoles. still, i'd probably try and keep them out of their hands for a while. i'd probably allow something like GTA once they hit high...
