    Why do Americans write their dates down backwards?

    Honestly because it is difficult to break a tradition once it is started. A more interesting thing to look at would be why America still uses the weird English measurement system instead of switching to Metric like the rest of the world. But the answer would probably be the same.

    Are Humans Inherently Selfish?

    Well to me, it would only be selfish if the person did those things with the intent to gain something. Being selfless would be to do the same deed with no expectation of nor any desire of the possible rewards of self-gratification or recognition. To me, selfishness comes from a conscious choice...

    Your Best MW2 Kill

    hmm... I think the best one I got was on Underpass (not sure on name of map) playing Domination. 3 guys run into C, I follow behind. They're running up the stairs. I hit one guy with the throwing knife, knife the second in the back, and turn to shoot the last guy in the head with my silenced...

    Ooh, yeah, thanks for that News I previously trusted. (A.K.A: Videogames, Australia, and YOU!)

    I still find that this kind of attack on video games is ridiculous and is largely put out of the context of the "storytelling" aspect of games, since games are dubbed as "simulations." Now maybe I'm going too far out on a limb to say that if there was any truth to their claims what-so-ever that...

    En Masse's MMO

    Sometimes I find myself rolling through the web via StumbleUpon to horrendous websites and videos/pictures that can't be unseen. But every now and again I come across something that peaks my attention. In this particular case I came across a game article about an upcoming MMO from En Masse...

    Poll: do you ever play as the opposite gender

    hmmm... I have played as the opposite gender in a couple different games. Mainly it depends on the role I play, but it also depends on the visual appeal. If a normally male protagonist is less visually appealing (like say space-goats from WoW) then I would play the female one. On an off-topic...

    Oh damn it all!

    Hmm... a similar situation. Well it wasn't a game disk. Somehow my original XBOX managed to scratch seasons 1-3 of my RVB DVDs. Ironically it seems to be only on parts where Caboose and Donut are anywhere remotely close to each other. Also managed to scratch my copy of Mass Effect... they...

    Only 30 Percent of WoW Players Get Past Level 10

    I'm really not too surprised that WoW is slowing down. Cataclysm will either restart the WoW engine and get people playing or be a bust and spell out WoW's decline. As for the 30% that actually play past level 10, I don't find that too surprising. The 20/80 rule comes into play here (basically...
