I listened to some Nu Metal. Never liked Disturbed and found their first album with the monkey vocals annoying as hell. Korn was always crap to me. I listened to Sevendust once in a while, not really anymore though. I owned two Adema albums. Wow. Terrible stuff. Even listened to Spineshank and a bit of Ill Nino, although by that time I was getting tired of all of them using the exact same processed "riffs" on every damn song and I was breaking out of it. To me Nu Metal's popularity was baffling, although I was more offended by the lack of musical talent within the genre than anything else. Perhaps that is why it became big.

I could never stand the female fronted Nu Metal bands either. Evanescence and Lacuna Coil drive me nuts. I know Coil is closer to metal than the others, but they are still pop metal with an idolized female vocalist. Bah humbug.

It is pretty much the only series I play at this point. I don't have the extra money for other games and since I love sci-fi it is where I am at right now. The endings don't bother me a bit, although the Bioware forums are filled with people who think their fan fiction ideas are better. They're not, and it is a sad group over there. I do look forward to more dlc obviously, I think Leviathan will be fine and it looks like the Omega dlc is a lock. Only problem is I won't play the 3rd anymore until all single player dlc is out. Even if all Leviathan does is add a few Catalyst lines, I don't want to shortchange any of my Shepards. They have created to vast a universe, one of the most expansive in gaming, to let it go. Shepard may be done, but the universe goes on.

I actually don't mind the endings. I find it more interesting that the Catalyst is the puppet master but each Reaper still has their own identity. Did anyone ever stop and think that Mass Effect 3 and Gears 3 both end with a big blob of energy just being released and taking care of everything? I always figured since Gears ended with everyone staring into the sunset that it made people happy. I didn't mind the ending of Gears either, but still.

Violence has broad appeal. That being said there are plenty of non-violent games out there. I think non-violence is becoming more mainstream. Violent games may not be losing ground, but non-violent games have become increasingly popular over the past few years. Perhaps it says something about the human race that we enjoy so much blood with our entertainment, but probably not. I don't see the collapse of society due to violence in entertainment mediums as inevitable.

Started off as terrible Twilight fan fiction. She had to replace the names with Anastasia and Christian. I hear the writing is god awful, and that she has an incredibly limited vocabulary. I read a little bit and I though it was what a Twilight fan fiction would be if written by a twelve year old who heard some dirty words. Of course that already is what Twilight is, but now it has been somehow made worse by Fifty Shades of Brown. Hehe. Eh. Go on Amazon and read the reviews where they list how often she uses the same words. It's pretty funny.

Sure it can make a man feel like he is being pandered to by those who run the show when he knows exactly why those women are there. But I am sure not all of the women mind 50 slovenly overweight men in N7 hoodies take pictures of them to masturbate to later. Well, maybe some do, but some no doubt don't mind the admiring of others. Besides, let's face it: Our entire society is geared toward sex. In the end, everyone just wants to fuck. I don't see the human race embracing a more cerebral point to life anytime in the future. Then again sex mostly is cerebral so maybe this is as far as we get.

@astrodoggy: I am just a human, but I did once stumble into an infundibulum.

As to the topic, it would seem that every time you traveled into the past or future you would create a new timeline. Also even though you can travel through time in space, time moves forward on Earth differently than when you fly through space. You will age, but those you knew on Earth will die while you are merely aging.

I met my fiance on one, but there were some interesting ones I met before her...yikes. I was the first guy she met off of one and she was the fifth woman I had met off of one so it seems different for everyone. There are free ones, I didn't pay to use any.

Stem cell advancement would be nice. I would like to see the church having less influence in politics also as they stagnant our progress as a species. Politicians stagnant also, but they go where the money is.

We should also focus on space exploration. Colonies on the moon and Mars and perhaps something on Vesta. I know NASA and America are in the gutter now, but we need to join with Russia and China to move forward. It's just where we are at. We have a lot of people out of work from their "dumb factory jobs" and such, but perhaps there is a way for private corporations to create plants building materials for space exploration. Virgin Galactic and the like can also work with countries to advance our place in this small corner of the universe. We have to large of a population to think as small as we often do.

I still find the Doom Demons to be among the freakiest of monsters I've ever gunned down. There is something much more visceral about them paired with the graphics and atmosphere of the game. Modern games with better graphics can be scary, but Doom still beats them out for me. I had a lot of fun playing it back in 1993 and I did again when it was released on Xbox Live in 2006. I had barrels o' fun all over again.
