  • This Is Why I Love Prog Rock



    Every so often we come across certain things, books, articles, keepsakes, even YouTube videos, that remind us just why it is we fell in love with something in the first place. It's a beautiful and exciting feeling, and for me, this is one of those things.

    Liquid Tension Experiment is a sort of side project of Dream Theater, with only two albums released since 1997. Despite their relative inactivity, their instrumentals are so strong that I keep coming back to those two records, and manage to find something new every time. And there is just no greater joy than watching these incredibly talented musicians in action.

    Who are some of your favorite prog rockers?
  • How Often Do You Fantasize About Sex?



    It's been far too long since I've delved back into this territory. Maybe I was burned out by your overwhelming responses when I first started posing Friday's sex question, but with the weather finally turning into something both beautiful and bearable, there's a certain spring in my keystrokes that's making it easier for the thoughts to flow right onto the text editor.

    Now then, on to the question of sexual fantasies. Firstly, let's just admit that everyone has them. Guys think about sex many times over the course of the day, in varying degrees of frequency, if all the studies are accurate. Women are guilty of it as well, perhaps to a lesser degree, since they likely aren't the easily excitable horn-dogs that most men are. More Here...

  • Seen Any Leprechauns Today?



    As all, or most of you should know, today is St. Patrick's Day. It's that one special day when everyone gets to wear their greenest greens, go out and get plastered for no more substantial reason than to get plastered. Taking that into consideration, I'm going to have to make the assumption that some of you are taking advantage of this most holy of drinking days.

    Given the perception altering, sometimes hallucinatory effects of alcohol, I'm also hoping that someone around here has seen a leprechaun and either taken his gold, or at the very least captured a picture of him. I mean, today's supposed to be a lucky day, right? It's almost obligatory that someone has to find a pot of gold and become filthy rich. More Here...

  • Why The Aversion To 'Weird' Meats?


    [Pictured Above: Snake Meat]

    One of the most fascinating things about our planet is the how vastly the food is from country to country. The American palette is probably more limited than most, relegated mostly to the various kinds of meats, vegetables and other basic foodstuffs found at the local supermarket, while other places have no qualms whatsoever about chopping up a dog for dinner.

    Am I suggesting we start eating our canine friends? Not at all. What we eat is, of course, based mostly on what is locally available. It's a whole lot more expensive to ship exotic foods from halfway across the world than it is to slaughter a cow from a nearby farm, have it chopped into steaks at the butcher and bring it home for Sunday dinner. But when was the last time you ate buffalo, alligator, or rattlesnake? How about a nice, hearty grub stew?More Here...

  • Are Female Gamers Underrepresented?

     

    I've been gaming since I first developed motor skills fine enough to hold a controller and push a button simultaneously. Since that point, I've been able to enjoy games not only by myself, but with all of my friends, and with the inception of online gaming, hundreds of thousands of other people as well.

    In that time, however, I've noticed something very distinct about nearly all of my multiplayer gaming experiences: they're almost completely dominated by men. Except, women make up a fairly large percentage of the game playing population. A study by the Entertainment Software Association suggests that 40% of gamers are female, not a majority, mind you, but still a large enough percentage that one would think they'd be more noticeable.
