The only conclusion I can reach after reading this particular Article is that escapist has taken to hiring uninformed unprofessional hacks. I wouldn?t normally insult an author of a piece with the term hack, since insults don?t make for a rational discourse, but since Mister Lincolin already set...

Actually Tim Drake is an orphan he just didn't first appear as one. His father was killed in Brad Meltzer's Identity Crisis. Any one else ever notice that the only other place before the first film that the league of assassins is called shadows is in the Batman the Animated series episode...

Thanks guys I will look into these.

A friend and have been on obscure animated film hunt. We have worked are way through most of Ralph Bakshi work and are running out of ideas so I thought I would ask the escapist community. Does anyone no any good obscure animation?

Its not that I don't respect the work he did, but for the life of me I can't understand the why anyone still has reverence for Alan Moore. He has insulted every fan that still like watchmen, said out right that the only reason they still publish it isn't the demand but as part of the vast...

Why would you possibly name anything neo anything or if you live in this universe umbrella. I can't imagine it would get you any great PR. What possible goal could be better achieved with name even if you called yourself Super Evil Inc. it would still be better then umbrella.

You are aware that floor mosaics are pavement,as are beautiful garden paths and the patterned streets and side walks that are so popular in many downtown and historical sections of cities? Just because something is meant to be functional dose not mean it must me ugly. There is always room to...

Thank you for pointing out the their and there mistakes, that is a bad habit of mine that I don't often catch my self(Clearly because I would have fixed them if I caught them.) and since we can't improve in the future and fix our mistakes unless they are pointed out I do truly think you for the...

I actually agree with you on modern art and things that go out of their way to be "artsy".I had not thought about the tendency for snobbery before you had pointed that out. I see your point about people taking the idea to the negative of and taking the your "bringing down gaming as a whole...

I fully agree with Reven. Except I am not really worried about the culture as a hole if we can change our internal conversations the culture will change eventually. Nor I am not jumping down and saying take my hobby seriously because its art. What I am saying is that if developers and gamers...

They are all the gaming culture. I don't think it is fare to say all reviewers want is to get through a game swiftly, and any that do are are contributing to the very problem I am suggesting. As to the art question neither. What I mean is something that has true artistic merit, that is...

I think it could make a huge difference in the quality of a lot of games if we held them to an artistic standard of beauty.

Not really sure how that answer the question. Or is even really relevant, we are talking about the gaming culture not the games themselves. Halo reach may be a fine game and beautiful peace of art dose not it dose not mean the culture is ready to discuss it as such. It is my view that the...

The Real Tuesday Weld. Brilliant band but they only get noticed if some one uses there songs in commercials http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYBCrYPRFUU

It has occurred to me in recent months that the biggest barrier to video games being viewed as art is the current state of gamer culture. Now I am in no way knocking game culture I am a gamer and I love games and the people who play them. What I saying is that the culture has developed to be one...
