    Escapist, what is your level of athleticism?

    i almost died from tuberculosis and lack of iron....a year ago and i've been a goddamn noodle ever since because i can't go all out with exercising thanks to my messed up lungs. so i'd say i'm really unfit. kinda sucks since i used to be an award winning runner beforehand. once you've been...

    White People! Are you offended being called a "Cracka"?

    Not at all. I've never heard it used maliciously towards me or anyone else, and even if I magically did some day I would probably laugh because it's just...silly sounding. The only time I've been really offended or felt targeted because of my race was when I was told that "my country" sucked...

    Poll: Do you have cooking talents?

    I'm actually a fairly good cook, but that is mainly by necessity rather than any natural born talent or anything. However, I can say with confidence that I'm a very good baker and one of the best uneducated (in the field) cake makers I know. I've been requested to make all my friend's...

    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    My game is really, really niche. It was a flash game (I think) I played as a kid and was in french on an educational website, but it was actually really fun and kinda nightmare fueling. You played as a little boy in purple pjs trying to escape your nightmares and every time you screwed up the...

    Ladies, how about you?

    I think it just has to do with what you're looking for in a gaming experience and how you play your games. Since video gaming is an interactive medium I think the need for you to be able to project yourself onto the player is a lot stronger for some people than if you were doing someone...

    A series of questions: What is the Endgame or goal of feminism when it comes to video games?

    1. It means having characters of the female gender who have agency and roles beyond plot device/sex object. It is NOT to take away sexy female characters or banish traditionally feminine characters. (As a fan of the T&A myself I'd probably be one of the first to weep salty tears over the loss of...

    Chest hair and you! (Questions for both sexes)

    I'm female, and I could honestly care less if the guy I was dating had chest hair. It's his body, he can do whatever the hell he wants with it so long as he respects my right to do whatever the hell I want with mine. I find the idea of going against your personal preference for an SO to be...

    Ever read a book so bad that you actaully stopped reading?

    Lord of the Flies. It isn't a bad novel -I'd actually say it's a fantastic novel- it just emotional unsettled my twelve year-old self to the point where I would have nightmares about the pigs head. The fact that my class adored it terrifed me.

    Poll: Story writers, how do you write?

    I tend to do all my brainstorming on paper and then type out the actual story, since I type faster than I write. The planning stage is super important to me, especially when working on character development, I literally have entire notebooks dedicated to character exploration. Even if I'm not...

    Your Favorite Cartoon Theme Song?

    Literally a second after reading this, I thought "Hey, that might be Cybersix!...Nah, it's way too obscure." so colour me pleasantly surpised. xD Don't quote me on this, but I heard that they had a fairly well-known Japanese animation studio work on it.

    Your Favorite Cartoon Theme Song?

    http://youtu.be/N2f9H1rFV8M I used to watch this on the french-canadian channel with my little sister. Half the time we had no idea what was going on, but it was still the coolest thing either of us had ever seen. Also, my apologises. I don't know how to embed videos.

    Poll: Digimon or Pokémon?

    Digimon pretty much defined who I was when I was a kid and taught me a few decent morals, whereas Pokemon was more of a silly romp. While I like both of them, Digimon will win everytime. That being said, Beyblade and Spider Riders were both shows I adored as a kid, but no one seems to remember.

    EXTERMINATE..... the Royal Wedding?

    While I'm happy for the Prince and his fiancé, I really can't bring myself to care all that much. Even my Dad and Grandparents (who are immigrants from the UK) don't seem all that excited. The Dalek is cool, though! What I've found more interesting is the exposure that the Canadian media has...
