  1. Well compare the base skill of hockey to other major sports. For soccer, football, baseball, and basketball, first you just have to be able to stand on the court/field. With hockey you have to be able to skate before you get on the ice. That means skating forward, backward, sideways, on one skate, and be able to stop on a dime. Also on a slap shot the puck can hit speeds of up to 90mph. That's a chunk of steel with a thin layer of rubber on it. And you have to catch it with a wooden stick on the ice when it's passed.

    I'm not trying to insult any sport as all take master talent and skill to reach the top level, I just think hockey takes more.

  2. Most horror movies bore me, since none are scary. But I like the supernatural and daemonic type of movies. I can't really pick any specifically, except Hellraiser. But only the ones that Doug Bradley was in. After he quit the series, I quit watching. He brought grace and manners to evil in a way no other could ever be compared to.

    My sentiments exactly! I love Stephen King. Of course I've seen Green Mile. I've also read the [really long!!!] book. I think I would choose Shawshank as well though. How do you interpret the last scene of the movie? Was it just Red dreaming? 

    I always thought Red actually did get paroled. But I always thought the old woman at the end of Titanic was asleep and dreaming at the end, whereas most people said she died and was in her own personal heaven.

    I adore The Shawshank Redemption -- what a film! It's definitely up there with my favourite movies of all time as well. Personally, I think it's leaps and bounds ahead of The Green Mile. I wasn't that enamoured with The Green Mile tbh. Another Stephen King drama adaptation that I love is Stand By Me. Wonderful piece of filmmaking!

    I can't believe I forgot Stand By Me. That one still takes my breath away to this day.

  4. Every part of my body except my feet, genitals, and ass have at least one tattoo on them. Yes my face and hands are included in the tattoos. I don't get ink just because I think it would be cool. Every tattoo I get has to have meaning for me. I have a couple that I'm going to cover up. One because the guy that did the tattoo, completely screwed it up and it looks like a pile of horse crap. Actually horse crap would look better. The other one, I'm getting covered for very personal reasons that I'm not going to divulge online.

  5. ZZT and MDK. ZZT was a game I had on my first computer which was a 286. MDK was one of the earliest Windows 95 games. It was a blast to play, and for the era had amazing graphics. I loaned it to a guy and never saw it again. Age Of Empires was another one. Deer Hunter and Deer Avenger. Diablo is a classic no matter what platform you play it on.

    These days the only PC games I play anymore are AOE2 and Diablo 2. That's because they're the only ones I have that are even worth playing in my opinion. And due to the fact that I absolutely despise online gaming, you won't see me on WOW anytime soon. I hated that game.

  6. I have to go with Final Fantasy 8. When it first came out I wasn't a fan because I thought the game was just too open. But I got into playing it and the openness of the game is one of the things that made me love it. The world is so vast and there are so many things hidden that you can pause your quest to defeat the game and do your own thing for as long as you want, and never do the same thing twice. My characters on the game are virtually invincible, just from junctioning spells.

  7. The Legend Of Zelda, or Final Fantasy 8. I love the medieval setting of Zelda, but the mix of mythological and scientific of FF8 kinda puts it over the top for me. I always thought I would love to live in Fishermans Horizon. All in all, I just love the whole thing. But if we're talking Zelda, I would want either A Link To the Past or Ocarina Of Time. Either version of Hyrule would be just fine for me.

  8. Being a paranormal investigator, I do believe in ghosts. But you also need to have a healthy skepticism with your belief. You can't label anything out of the ordinary as something paranormal.

    have I had some pretty freaky encounters? You better believe it. But most of the time, it turns out to be nothing. Just something that can easily be scientifically explained. Then there are those cases that are genuinely paranormal. I have studied daemonlogy for around 25 years, and over that time I have learned how to control and contain entities, regardless or its nature or intentions. Where we go from there, is your choice.

  9. My absolute favorite band is Disturbed. Yes I have all their albums, and a little bit of random memorabilia. My favorite song of theirs is Prayer. I haven't been to any of their concerts yet, but I'm hoping to go to one soon.

     

    Other bands I like are as folows:

    Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park, Static-X, Hatebreed, Devil Driver, 6 Feet Under, Arch Enemy, Dimmu Bogir,  a ton of 80's rock, Psychopathic Records, and Majik Ninja Entertainment.

  10. The Passion Of The Christ. It was nothing but a bunch of random scenes thrown together in no particular order, all of which had nothing to do with each other. If you want to make a religious film, fine. Knock yourself out. But at least make a COHERENT film. Pay for some decent editors at least.
