    Question of the Day

    [SPOILER ALERT] The meaning of life is that there is no meaning, that you can make up your own meaning. But in order for that to be effective (and in order to resist a handful of dangerous philosophical burdens), you have to trick the idea of this away from your conscious thoughts (unless...

    My book just hit Amazon!

    Nice text effect. :P But yeah, Imago. I'm guessing you had nothing to do with that one-liner on the front page? :P

    You realize how ridiculously subjective most those things you mentioned are? :P

    Captain N the Game Master

    Yeah. To use an 80s term, it was rad back in the day. :P

    Beat Twilight Princess?

    Right now I've logged about 52 hours and I've got the final dungeon left I believe. Plus, there's a huge multi-level cave I need to complete, similar to the one in Wind Waker. Also, one major sidequest, and maybe one more minigame to beat, and some more heart containers.

    Question of the Day

    Katie, I think you need to revert this topic back to question of the day from its current status of Internet Argument of the day. :P

    Question of the Day

    Broke a stone bench with my leg playing tackle football in a park when I was pushed into it (and came out unscathed). That's unintentionally badass I guess. Can't think of any good intentional badass moments right now. Well... in 7th grade, we had a paper airplane contest. I made this miraculous...

    R Superheroes GODS?

    See, if they were gods, they would be having epic battles with each other without regard to humans. If any humans got in the way, they would crush them or brush them aside without thinking twice! That does happen from time to time. And I guess some superheroes/villians are more god-like than...

    R Superheroes GODS?

    Thought I'd throw a few cents in. Recalling the great X-Men cartoon of the early 90s, if mutants were always struggling to achieve equal rights and status in society through lobbying efforts and stuff, then no, they are not gods. :P

    VC is the Greatest

    To comment on 5: Sounds like Halo, with the exception that no matter how many times you say you're gonna quit, you come back and have a good game and reclaim it as still the best multiplayer experience. :P

    I'm not a Halo fanboy I don't think, but I really like both Halos. Halo to me is kind of miraculous. They created this huge dynamic world and they leave it to you to fight your way through it. The game is founded on some principle to deliver as spatial an experience is possible. Everything...

    Question of the Day

    Getting close to 70 today. And it's sunny. But... I'm sure it will dive down into coldness once again. But yeah, ready for Spring.

    Best FPS Ever...... Vote now!!

    But does it have a lot of value in context of best FPS ever? It has value when the context is 'greatest pioneers'. Then you can easily look back and say such and such FPS introduced the standard dual-analog controls, or this FPS established the idea of a perpetual first-person perspective and...

    Best FPS Ever...... Vote now!!

    My concern is, how much value does the concept of "area-specific" damage, or "dual-analog control scheme", or "scripted events" have in older, pioneering FPSs when newer ones use them more effectively and are overall way better? Really, trying to consider the best of most things is absurd...

    World Of Warcraft

    Ahhh. Since it was the first word of the sentence, it was capitalized. I saw that and thought it was something official/proper from WoW.

    Magitech... isn't that something from Final Fantasy 6? O__o
