    What iPod Do You Own?

    The IPod Video "Classic", an 80 gig. It's one of the most functional Ipods ever, in my opinion. The thing works so well, and I've had it for so long and (unfortunately) have had a number of spills with it. The thing just keeps on ticking, fully functional, like a tank. I love it. I remember...

    Blink 182

    Which would explain this post as well. I might have undercredited a bit, but Dude Ranch was a generally lousy album.

    Okay I'm not complaining BUT...

    For the record, the complaint is not about the existence of CGI or cutscenes in itself. The complaint is about the overhaul of these aspects that the latest games have had. Why some people act like this is one big bashing thread meant to advocate the disclusion of CGI altogether is beyond me...

    Angels and Airwaves

    After the general disappointment of I-Empire, LOVE is awesome. LOVE is what I-Empire should have been, and a lot of the songs from it sound like improvements on past tracks. Definitely, the best track on LOVE (despite its stupid title) is "Epic Holiday". Brilliant song. After that, I like...

    Blink 182

    I grew up on Blink 182. When I was younger, this was the face of rock music for me. Yeah, I was into classics (Nirvana), yeah, I was in to other bands (like their good friends and touring mates, Taking Back Sunday), but none could top Blink for me back then. Dude Ranch generally sucked. I...

    Anime Top Five Favourite Anime Openings

    Okay, of course, my picks are going to be completely my own, typically based on a solid combination of montages and music. Most will probably be American, and I'm probably forgetting a lot of good ones. Cowboy Bebop: English (Opening 1): What's not to like? Great, unique set up going on with a...

    Who Was Stronger: Seifer or Squall?

    The developers certainly meant for the line to be blurred here. The very opening scenes in which these two exchange gashes was symbolic for the idea that these rivals were matched in battle. But if I were to make an actual pick, I'd have to go with Seifer in terms of brute strength, citing the...

    final fantasy 8 is under rated

    My saying that was rhetoric fodder to set up the final statement of that paragraph, which the above supports. Once again, the use of VII (its' predecessor) as a virtually fixed means of comparison illustrates just where FF VIII stands and, therefore, answers the questions addressed in this...

    Anime Pokemon: Ash is in a Coma Theory.

    4chan** has some Poke mind Fs for us. Anyway, Gary's grandfather couldn't have loved him that much to begin with. He couldn't even remember his name.

    final fantasy 8 is under rated

    Lol @ all the mentioning of VII here. Is it really necessary by any means other than comparison? But than why not to IX, VI, or X? Perhaps, in using it as a standard of reference, a lot of you are answering certain questions of this thread. Anyway, I don't really think VIII is underrated...

    Anime Pokemon: Ash is in a Coma Theory.

    This read gets posted up so often in any Poke-related community that the mods have to lock it in minutes. It's been around for a long time. When I first read it, I thought it was hilarious. One of my favorite parts had to be the bit about Mr. Mime as a stand in father figure.

    Squall's Dead [dot] com

    While perhaps disturbing to consider, this theory makes a helluva lot of sense. I'm certainly not going to write it off, nor do I really think it can be by anything other than direct contradiction from developers. It may be a bit hard sought in that (as prodded by some) it does take a bit of an...

    The Definition of "Normal"

    "Normal" is socially and culturally defined. Everyone could give their own definition of the term, but only upon collecting these individual answers would one be able to derive an answer as to what's normal in their community (and even then it might not be clear). While it's true that it's an...

    Why are more people excited about Versus than FFXIII?

    "Off the bat", it's the more austere and even dark tone Versus is presented with, in addition to the type of modern day, realistic elements implemented. I think these are the type of things that have instantly appealed to people in comparison to its XIII counterpart. Versus has also cited...

    Biggs & Wedge

    You know, it's odd to me that they weren't in that, since IX was such a tribute game. You'd think they'd include that long-standing reference. I mean, Gilgamesh was in it (and had a pretty notable role). Any confirmation on their inclusion yet?

    OFFICIAL NFL 2009-2010 SEASON THREAD (iggles got vick)

    Ah, well rested after last night's craziness and still just as excited. Great "end" to the season. Contrary to my belief after the first half, this turned out to be a very exciting superbowl. For starters, congrats to Garret freaking Hartley for coming up big on three occasions he was called...

    Gorillaz

    The "Got The Cool Shoe Shine" you're referring to is "19/200". I looove that song. Those are nice favorites there. Mine would probably have to be "19/200", "Tomorrow Comes Today", "DARE", and maybe "Last Living Souls". So hard to decide, they've got great songs. And yeah, you're definitely...

    Lost

    First episode back was crazy, absolutely crazy. Final season, and still we have this trend of things being answered while many more questions arise. I agree with the suggestion that . That's immediately what came to mind when Jacob stressed maintaining Sayid like that. Also, someone...

    Songs With Great Lyrics

    Bloc Party, or Kele Okereke in particular, easily comes to mind when I think of brilliant lyricists. Their lyrics, whether subtle and obscure or straight-forward and aggressive, are often quite thought-provoking and deeper than their initial presentation may entail. Here's a shorter song by...
