    Poll: Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. First Impressions?

    Looks great. One of only two 2014 Video games that have interested me - the other being the New Smash Bros. Seriously, I don't care if they've taken all the assets from every other game that's ever existed, it looks great and is more then likely a fun and unique experience. Definitely on my...

    What are you playing right now?

    Well: Team Fortress 2 - All the time. I never stop playing it. WHich is a lie, since I do. I play it most days, it's just a fun release for me. Runner 2 - Fun, with a FUCK in the middle, so FuFUCKn. Because I suck at it. It has one of the steepest difficulty curves (at least for me)...

    Fallout 3 or New Vegas? (yes, this question again)

    Deep analysis aside, I just felt more invested in it. I don't know why, but I honestly preferred it and felt it better than the petty power struggle of NCR vs Legion vs House/You; if you didn't join the NCR or Legion. It all felt just so uninteresting. Whereas there was this sense of wonder and...

    Fallout 3 or New Vegas? (yes, this question again)

    Fallout 3 had the better Story and atmosphere, and New Vegas had the better gameplay. The perfect Fallout game would involve Obsidian doing ALL the gameplay and Bethesda at least doing the atmosphere + World Building. Collab on the story.

    Have you ever brought a handheld to school?

    Yep. I take my 3ds to school with me to get the (very few) streetpass hits. I also took my DSIXL to school, hid it in a massive ass pencil case and sneakily played it during English a few years ago. Hated the teacher and the school, and I'm glad to have switched schools since.

    Wasted opportunities in media.

    I'd love to see a Zombie/Post-Apoc TV series actually do this and run with it the WHOLE WAY. Until in the final episode he discovers that he was just daydreaming OR he discovers his family dead. Would be entertaining.

    I.... can't bring myself to play evil?

    There are absolutely none that I refuse to play as. Whilst I have the most fun whilst playing mage, I have a lot of fun as Archer and Warrior. Evil is something, in my opinion, that no game has EVER gone full hog with, and instead you become a hero that's a right prick. I don't WANT to play as...

    Help! Game suggestions for my sister's kids

    Can second this. OT: The lego games are a great co-op experience, even with the fact that you can brutally murder the brick out of each other. There fun, brightly colored and not too heavy on the story. Easy for a child to pick up, neigh ideal for a child to pick up. Plus, on Steam, they're...

    Frozen: A Thirty-Something Parent's/Musician's/Geek's Review

    Just a heads up, my post contains spoilers and I shan't be putting them in spoiler boxes because I'm lazy. If you don't want spoilers, skip my post and move on. Not a parent and am a 16 year old heterosexual male. Absolutely loved the film. The music was great, the story was well done...

    Remakes That You Actually Wouldn't Mind Seeing

    I'd imagine if someone was to do it, they'd have to bring in an actual team of scientists instead of just one as the antagonists. So as to allow for brain surgeons to alter their mind to make it a truly bestial creature hellbent on revenge and murder. Then let loose some victims to be murdered...

    Escapist Steam Who's Who! (UPDATED)

    Escapist Name: Toxinthegreat Steam Name: [RATS] Toxinthegreat Picture: It's a Monochrome picture of a Rat in a Wizard hat. Not too hard to miss. Regardless, Native to Australia. I avidly play TF2, can play vanilla Civ 5 (No Gold or BNW), L4D2, Payday (Original not 2) and just otherwise...

    Dr Who Christmas Special 2013

    Well he saved the Time Lords, this time, from: a) The Daleks, b) Whatever other Horrors competed in the Time War, c) The Time Lords themselves and finally, d) The Doctor. He was willing to burn a whole Galaxy to save the universe, but in his retrospective thoughts, as shown in...

    Dr Who Christmas Special 2013

    Loved it, and I had limited issues with it. The ending was great, and as per usual for Doctor Who they showed limited of the incoming Doctor (seriously, if you expected more then about a minute I laugh in your face at your naivety). It was great, and it gave closure. It also explains what...

    What do you actually ENJOY about games and why?

    I love the Escapism of Games. It's the best method for that escapism, since you are the one controlling an aspect of it. It's great. Movies/books don't allow the level of control that gaming does.

    "A job is a job", "Why don't you get a REAL job" - Why are these statements confusing?

    I'll make it no secret, I'm still in High School. Final year, to be exact. And I think the problem is, is that an enormous amount of pressure is being put on people like me to go through Higher Education to get a scrap of paper that fits you for a job. "A Job is a Job" - as a statement describes...
