looking back i've poured thousands of hours into the final fantasy series. and sure, the cast of characters all generally fit into predictable archetypes: reluctant hero, obnoxious weebo girl, silent badass, and so forth. but we still love 'em. and some characters truly break that mould. so...

im unsure as to how popular this thread may be; in fact, i think it will be largely ignored or trolled or will attract posts of dubious relevance. im expecting faithful and articulate expressions of raw feeling, yet i know better than to expect that. most posts will be trivial, something along...

you're the cavs and you have the number one pick. the space-time continuum ruptured, causing a wormhole whereby lebron james circa 2003 is transported to 2011... and he's draft eligible! do you pick 2003 lebron with the number one pick? also, 2011 lebron is still with the heat and all that...

you ever look back at yourself from a year ago and think 'man i was such a (BAN ME PLEASE) but im totally zen now'. and notice how you do that every year? anyways, this is the thread where you post how you've developed over the years. it doesn't have to be from last year, it can be how you've developed...

i did a thread on academic philosophy a while back and it didn't garner much interest, and i had people who posted with no background anyways so why not give a shot at another philosophy thread... obviously a lot of philosophy is not accessible (hegel's force and understanding chapter in the...

playing eternal darkness, realizing what a great game it is yet so few people bought it :( dark, interesting, great story telling and solid poe-inspired prose. the environments take on a life of their own--sometimes literally and the sanity effects are cool don't let this thread be limited...

This thread is a discussion about topics in academic philosophy. Non-academic philosophy is off-topic. I understand academic philosophy is an ivory tower circle jerk--but if you're not interested, then do not participate. As well, if you think the entire tradition of academic philosophy is...

I feel as though I am in the middle of one. I've always accepted humanity as something sinister and completely self-serving, but lately it's been bothering me. A lot. The girl whom I love, I can tell, is emotionally insensitive and would probably drop me if things weren't going so well. The...

I don't know how much discussion this promotes and I don't feel like writing a fantastically researched and erudite OP but considering the almost universal (at the very least) appreciation or understanding of boredom at school... I think reasonable conjectures can be made without much effort on...

Picked up Dragon Age: Origins a few days ago. Love this game. But I started with a rouge and I've been told that there is a dagger bug which kinda shits up the class :( Still sweet as tits this game.

Persona 2: Innocent Sin. Or just about the entire Persona series. What about you smogonites; are there any obscure RPGs that you adore?

Perhaps the accessibility of this issue will make for a more successful thread than my previous. But don't think accessibility equates to triviality; this is an important issue (and one many just have the wrong idea about). If you are unfamiliar with affirmative action, it can be defined in...

Wasn't sure where this belonged (the Wi-Fi thread is about legitimate transactions, as opposed to hypothetical thought experiements), so I decided to put this in Firebot. Let's say we have a group of five individuals. They are: Timmy, Jimmy, Simmy, Limmy, and Rimmy (yeah, the names are whack...

When examining, critically, one must pay attention to the basest form of the examined. With ethics in particular, one must question what is the foundation of our ethical principles: what are the initial observations and intuitive judgments that permute into ethics? I would argue it is our...

The union of man and woman, that holy trinity (minus the third), is most sacred. Though the union is holy, the unionees are often unholy--tainted halos on their fingers, and all. The man in question (despite the absence of questions) is a lover of beer and all its evils (to his credit, a...
