    What phrases or topics immediately shut down your interest in a conversation?

    Fallacies completely undermine any attempt at a meaningful discussion. Logical fallacies should not be tolerated - pointing them out is the right thing to do. Most people probably don't even realize they are doing it, and it makes us all dumber if we accept them. I mean really. How do you...

    How in the world could you see that coming? It was totally out of left field.

    Dark Knight Rises Cinematographer Bashes The Avengers

    No. In fact I remember no animosity between the two fanbases at all. Unless you count prefering one movie to the other as unbearably obnoxious.

    Poll: Which horrible film should my Literature & Film class watch

    There is tons to learn from bad movies. Analyzing why they fail can be very insightful and help you avoid making those mistakes yourself. Also in terms of plot, a poorly told story with plot holes paves the way for very interesting alternate interpretations, like the widespread theory that Bella...

    Couldn't they just make it a sequel?

    Characters people love that you hate.

    I get your criticism of Kefka. He's very out of place in the game, his clownish character does not fit in with the otherwise somber tone of the story. He's so goofy, acting more like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum than than a sociopathic dictator, which makes it very hard to feel threatened...

    Who's your favorite That Guy With The Glasses user?

    Todd in the Shadows. He seems so genuine, and he's videos are always funny. Also at the top are the Cinema Snob, Brows Held High and Spoo... oh, umm... fuck.

    Poll: how you like the new escapist layout

    I don't get why they took away the old video menu, where you just picked which series you wanted to watch at the top. Now instead, you click video and it takes you to a seperate page where you select a video. It just one more step between me and whatever I want to watch. It's a minor point, but...

    How to (NOT) bring fresh new concepts and ideas into gaming. (Or: Why we can't have nice things)

    Yeah, it had nothing to do with gamers, all the bad press came from outside the industry. Personally, I thought it was the most interesting war game of the past couple of years, I would have bought it in a second.

    What terrible songs do you like?

    Tik Tok's lyrics are comical gold, and the beat's pretty catchy too.

    Unsure if racist

    Have you ever noted none of us here are "normal"

    "So it seems that because of every syndrome and disorder we've invented in the past twenty years, the Los Angeles Times stated that 63% of American families are now considered dysfunctional. My God! That means we're the majority. We're normal! It's the people who have the mommy, the daddy, the...

    Which archetype RPG class would you be in real life?

    I'd be a mage, of course. Magic is so cool you guys.

    Games That Are So Good You Bought Then Twice

    I think I bought Warcraft 3: the frozen throne three times. Partly because it's my favorite game ever, and also because for some reason, the disc is the least durable I've ever seen. I broke it twice just removing it from my computer. Same thing has happened with my friends' copies.
