    Depends. I never considered myself straight edge because I never looked down or acted high and mighty around those who choose to dabble or delve into a lifestyle of substance experimentation or use. In fact I have lived with cocaine and pot users. However, I myself never smoke (tobacco or otherwise, though I usually date smokers) but I do drink socially on occassion.

    Yeah, kinda like what Onslaught said, I think if you take being straight-edge for what it is instead of thinking you're superior to others because you are straight-edge or using it to explain listening to Earth Crisis, you'd piss off a lot of "straight-edgers."

    Halo is apparently pretty influential as far as console FPS games go, the same with Goldeneye... oddly enough, I don't consider myself a fan of either. I want to try the old Doom games, though, because I really enjoyed Star Wars Dark Forces which is basically a Doom clone.

    Depends on how you define straight edge. I would technically be straight edge, since I don't drink or smoke, but at the same time I have no problem with others who do it, and can even see merits for doing it (for me personally, the faults outweigh those). So in that way, I don't consider myself straight edge.

    Has anyone read The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe? While very wordy, it's a very creepy story.

    I enjoyed the story to it, but not as good as Leliana's Song, or as hard as it

    COD is the most overrated MP game IMO

    I prefer the TPS Tom Clancy Shooters and Class based shooters personally (like Monday Night Combat and TF)

    I fail to see how Halo is influential, another key game in popularizing the genre-- but influential? Nah.

    Yep. It's his most famous book, though I don't think it's his best ('The Devil in the Belfry' and 'The Masque of the Red Death' are my favourite). It's also his most simplistic book as well, not at all as 'wordy' compared to some of his later stories.

    sounds like some straight-edgers need to be doped up secretly
