My sentiment exactly. I can't say I've learn a lot from playing games like Super Mario World or Golden Eye, however some games like Portal or any entry in the Professor Layton-series might at least train your brain a bit. I can personally say that games like The Curse of Monkey Island or The...

Aladdin is my all time favorite. From an animation standpoint The Lion King is a great movie, however it also has has some "baggage" (ripp-off warning of Kimba the White Lion + racist undertones). Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid are other memorable ones from my childhood.

In my opinion, the movies with Downey Jr are Sherlock in name only - had you called them anything else I would hardly have noticed. I have some major gripes with SE3 of the BBC-serires (that I think did some really bad decisions both story and character wise...), however as a whole this series...

These Chains by Tony Furtado I was searching around for music similar to that of the video game Bastion and found this recommendation on another forum. If you like slide guitar, blues, folk and banjo music, this is a no-brainer.

I have never owned a Playstation device so of course there are a lot of cool stuff there I've missed, but I think I'll go with the Metal Gear and Silent Hill series. Even though never entries for both of these franchises have been released on Xbox 360 or the Wii, these appear to have been of...

As a long time Sonic fan, Sonic 06 is right up there with the worst I've personally played, being an almost unplayable piece of garbage. At the same time there was some potential there - the tone kind of reminded me a tiny bit of SatAM and the story wasn't 100 % bad. If they would have actually...

This was always my problem in the "oldie times", when you couldn't look up the songs online before purchasing an album and then ended up with 1-2 songs out of 10 that you enjoyed :(. At the same time, if you really liked an artist it was a calculated risk because you didn't want to "throw the...

I personally don't really enjoy Cowboy Bebop that much. The reason for this is that while I find the animation absolutely gorgeous and the soundtrack topnotch, the story never really got me invested. The episodes that I like the most tend to be the humor oriented ones - which is unusual for me...

"The Cat Returns" by studio Ghibli. The movie is enjoyable enough but it lacked that superb animation that is the Ghibli trademark. It's a shame since I really love "Whisper of the Heart" and would have liked to see a good pseudo sequel...

In no particular order: - Paul McCartney - Bob Dylan (x2) - Tom Petty - Oasis - Green Day - Roger Waters - Porcupine Tree - Rammstein (x2) - Linkin Park (x2) - Metallica (x 2) - Judas Priest - Dark Tranquillity - Slipknot My first Metallica concert is probably my most powerful concert memory...

I hope this is not a duplicate thread, but I tried to search around for this topic and couldn't find it... Tonight I had this weird pokémon related dream, or more accurately part/sequence of a dream. Basically, it was told to me by an unknown narrator, in a sort of flashback sequence, that all...

Charizard X, though I think the static blue flames resemble some sort of mustache :p

In my opinion, there is no such thing as pure objectivity; the closest thing might be natural laws that act pretty indiscriminately, however even concepts such as time/space do get a bit complicated when you get down to things like singularities... Considering the "human world" though...

I do share your concern about resource depletion rates, especially with the current trend of "developing countries" wanting a more "western" lifestyle. I believe this is a problem especially when discussing issues such as climate change and environmental degradation. I also agree with you when...
