Spoiler poll

A simple question.

[Poll #1185469]

Feel free to explain your choice in the comments. I'm especially curious as to why people read spoilers.

Personally, I avoid [Geass] spoilers whenever possible. (LJ-cuts, yay?) I think Geass is one of those series that can be so unpredictable that the suspense is half the fun. That said, I don't want to know what happens ahead of time cuz that, well, spoils it.


PS No posting [possible] spoilers in the comments, ya?

I thrive off spoilers mainly because I have no life..... I don't mind them really because I enjoy what leads up to the spoiler just as much as what was spoiled. Plus, Geass is like my main series at the moment. I love it, and I love getting spoilers to guess what happens. It keeps my mind stimulated, I guess is a good way of putting it, not to mention I'm off half the time anyway, so I still get the surprise factor XD

I usually avoid spoilers otherwise. No, not avoid, for series not like Geass, lets say Hitman Reborn, its either predictable enough, or not addicting enough as other series therefore spoilers just seem pointless. Geass is just too amazing, and addicting to pass up anything that comes along.

I drive my friend crazy by reading the last few pages of books, while I'm only at the beginning or half way through. Another reason I'm ok with doing this, is because it makes me excited to get through what I'm reading to find out what was really happening in those last few pages. Not to mention my reaction and opinion to those last few pages usually changes once I have the full story, so theres still excitement and surprise. I use this same philosophy with anime and manga usually.

Yes, I play mind games with myself XD
