As the old saying goes "growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional". Getting older doesn't mean you cannot enjoy the things you did when you were younger, and no matter how old I get, I will still use my imagination to take me to places beyond our normal boring world. So, to answer the...

Definitely. Anyone reading this, if there is a AMV you saw that you thought was amazing, post it here. Let's spread the love of AMVs and the wonderful people who make them.

Yeah, I thought about rolling a Martial Artist for the playstyle, but feel a lot better with an actual weapon in my hands. What were the downsides to you?

The following is a video from probably my favourite AMV creator on youtube right now. She does absolutely amazing work and her latest work is quite different to any AMV I've seen before. Most AMVs take a (usually up-beat) song that isn't connected to any other film and put random clips with it...

Nobody expects a change overnight, and there will always be people who oppose this election no matter what happens afterwards. That said, it is a definite step in the right direction, just as it was when Obama was elected president in the US.

Heard a lot of hype regarding Overwatch, but that's nothing new (Blizzard games get hyped way too much imo). The question is, for those now playing the open beta, does the game live up to the hype?

I've always been a huge fan of mmorpgs but haven't found one I've really liked ever since I quit WoW at the beginning of Cata. Now I've found Blade and Soul and honestly it has rekindled my passion for the genre. For those who haven't heard or played it yet, it's a martial arts themed...

My favourite character is definitely Wendy, as I just love seeing her character development from this weak, fragile little girl into a fearsome dragon-slayer. After Wendy, my favourite characters are Elfman, Lisanna and Mirajane. I love the bond those 3 share through their backstory, plus their...

I believe similar things were said at the start of the industrial revolution, when mostly automated lines were brought in. People thought it would put a lot of people out of their jobs. It didn't, simply because machines in their current form are so unreliable that they need constant monitoring...

You bring up some good points. First of all one of the issues I've noticed observing the various Martial Arts clubs where I work is they focus almost entirely on forms and sparring, which appeals more to the younger participants. The problem with this approach is they hardly do any body...

I'm confused by both of those statements. In my experience the parents that don't allow their children to learn Martial Arts are the over-protective ones who will do anything to keep their little darling out of harms way, even in a training environment. As for the second statement, surely if a...

I would personally say feminism is never relevant, because you are merely swapping one form of sexual inequality for another.

17 seasons and I still think you can't beat the original, although the XY remix of it is a close contender.

Since we're on the topic of child martial arts, take a look at the following article: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2612247/Meet-children-paid-fight-Inside-dangerous-world-Muay-Thai-boys-young-SEVEN-risk-permanent-brain-damage-support-poverty-stricken-parents.html Setting aside the...

So I've been browsing the youtube checking out the various martial arts and I'm seeing a theme with the comments of said videos. Whenever you have a Martial Arts demonstration video for especially Kung Fu styles, there are always tons of comments which go along the lines of "this is shit, it...
