    Pick Your "Worthless" Super Power!

    I would hate you with every fiber of my being. I shall pick the power to shut off my hearing whenever I please. Then I wouldn't have to listen to people being stupid.

    Have you ever posed as a girl in a MMORPG?

    Yes I have. Mostly due to the fact that I am a girl. I have also posed as a guy though, which is probably more on topic. While making a male character is all aesthetics, I used to do it so that other guys wouldn't start throwing out inappropriate jokes or get awkwardly friendly with me. Since...

    Senate Candidate Attacked Over World of Warcraft

    "... she gets away with crude, vicious and violent online comments." Welcome to the internet. Have a free dickpunch.

    Double Amputee Killed by Houston Police Officer

    Oh god, there I go. Excuse me while I go sit in this corner and laugh myself a spot into the nice-n-toasty downstairs.

    Most annoying/time consuming boss fight ever?

    Nobody's mentioned the Enderdragon from Minecraft yet? That thing's a pain in the right arse to take down without mods or creative mode.

    Have you ever griefed? Now's the time to apologize (or not)

    Never griefed, never felt the need/want to. I feel it's too reminiscent of bullying, in that you make another person's day miserable just so you can get your jollies off. It's unproductive, petty and... really? What's the point? 5 minutes of hilarity while that person spends an x-amount of...

    Poll: What class will you choose in Diablo III

    This here is a smart man. I'm personally interested in both classes, though I'm monking it up for now since the people I play with took Demon Hunter and Wizard.

    Unskippable: Sacred 2: Fallen Angel

    The game strongly reminds me of Warcraft. ... the first one.

    Does anyone on the Escapist use a Mac?

    As a laptop, Macs are a pretty good way to go. Good graphics, decent processing speed and can do just about everything you'd need for day-to-day living. As a gaming platform, it's terrible. A lot of game developers tend to program for mac users as an afterthought and a lot of people just...

    Do many Westerners really dislike Japanese games for such shallow reasons as "anime"?

    I honestly think the main problem is that Western culture has a very different concept of a "main hero" as opposed to the Japanese. While North America is routinely exposed to a physically fit male with a trim haircut, the Japanese tend to prefer a young adult who tends to look somewhat...

    Persona 3 FES due for PSN

    About the only thing that's really a problem with the AI is that they don't quite heal as frequently as you'd like them to and have a tendency to debuff enemies rather than straight out attack them when it's kind of pointless. Fortunately in later levels your protag can become so bloody broken...

    the "Why didn't they just shoot Voldemort?" thread

    I assume a gun was never mentioned due to the fact that these books were aimed at children. If you were writing a fantasy novel about wizards and witches, a school based around magic and a boy's coming of age story into this world designed for a younger audience in Europe, would you bring in a...

    JRPG characters you wish you could "get rid of"

    The only character I can think of is Shirley from Tales of Legendia. (Fucking whiny, self-serving, useless piece of-!)

    Games for Mac

    There are actually quite a few games available on the mac. You can usually get a good idea if you check out the apple site, though I recommend actually going to a video game store to purchase them since, despite Apple's free shipping, they charge an arm and a leg. I currently have Warcraft...

    Poll: Security Guards V.S. 12-year old punk

    Being an asshole isn't restricted to age. If that kid treats a security guard, a symbol of authority that way, let's take it a step further and wonder how he must treat his parents, teachers and fellow students. I'd say he's pretty damn lucky in this scenario and, if he's smart, he'll take the...
