Magnus replied to Justin Cook's discussion Video Games Hobby Or Waste Of Time."I think as one grows older, he finds that he no longer plays video games for the sake of entertainment, but rather for the stories they tell and the universes they drag the player into. At least that's the primary reason why I still pick up a…"

Nick H replied to Magnus's discussion Skyfall: Let's hear your thoughts!"I liked Connery's Bond as a kid and thought that Dalton was the worst (I don't count Lazerby, he's not worth mentioning). Then I read the books. I think Dalton was the closest to Flemming's original character (or as close as…"
Magnus replied to Magnus's discussion Skyfall: Let's hear your thoughts!"I see, that does make perfect sense. A new era of entertainment calls for a change, even in well-established franchises'like James Bond. I look forward to hear your thoughts about Skyfall. "

So the new James Bond movie, Skyfall has been available for screening in most cinemas for a couple of days now. I figure, this being a forum called the art of manliness, there'd be some Bond fans who would like to share their opinions on the latest installment.Personally I have low thoughts of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. The movies got an exceptional amount of hype here in Denmark, due to the fact that Mads Mikkelsen (Le Chiffre) and Jesper Kristensen (mr. White) had prominent roles in…See More
Magnus replied to Zach Welch's discussion Not interested in making male friends"I did much enjoy reading your post, Zach. I recognise the weird and annoying tension that often occurs when several males are spending time together with 'fresh meat'. In my case, it usually leads to misanthropy: the males needlessly…"
Buffalo Bill replied to Magnus's discussion Advice needed on finding a trench coat"Sorry, I have nothing to say about trench coats but I couldn't stop myself from responding once I saw your profile picture.

Hunt commented on Leif Gunnar Selberg's blog post should I help younger brother become smoker?"I'd say it could depend on what he wants to smoke and whether it's legal where you live - but assuming you mean tobacco cigarettes, Silviu Ilyevich Tulbya says it all.
