This smells interesting...


The games people play: I have fallen into the trap that is the video game of Skyrim. It has completely absorbed all of my free time, and there is such a massive amount of content to examine and observe. From the snow-capped mountains, to the frozen ocean in the north, to the lush lowlands of the south and all of the dungeons, the entire landscape is incredibly well designed and the game, along with all of the quest lines, is wonderfully executed.
Compare and contrast: My car, a 97 Blazer, is a hunk of junk. I recently had to rebuild the steering column; parts of the dashboard are hot glued into place, exposed wires explain the lack of sound from the back set of stereos, and the front right tire is actually my spare tire, because the original front right tire has no treads left, and I decided to swap them.  My friend, Mormon, parks next to me in the sophomore lot, and he is in a similar boat. The ceiling is falling, and he has some slight electrical problems. Comparing the two cars would be compelling and interesting.
Compare and contrast: There are many sites on the internet which belong to the chan family. From 4chan to 5chan, chan-chan, ponychan, and other board sites all have distinct factions, inside jokes, mods, admins, and codes. Taking a comprehensive look at these, it would be a trip to examine how they came to fragment like they did into as many different sites as there currently are.
