    Escapist Podcast: 090: Nintendo Bails on E3 and Dragon's Crown's Breasts

    When you mentioned adblock during the the last podcat, i turned noscript off. Unfortunately this caused the site to reload so the podcat restarted. Still worth it though, keep up the good work :)

    What annoys you most about a person?

    In my friends? Persistent self destrucive behaviour. Otherwise it's people who judge people instantly.

    Studying anxiety, I need some help.

    I have had similar problems with studying. The problem for me, was that all the little tasks and assignments got tangled in my mind, and i found it hard to differentiate between them. This led to problems because i couldn't start doing one thing without first motivating myself to tackle the...

    Skyrim Dragons: Ok this is getting ridiculous......

    I had just killed an ancient dragon, as i stood absorbing its soul and contemplating my manliness. The solemnity of my victory over such a majestic beast was immediately ruined by a highwayman, as he sauntered over and demanded my gold. NPCs are a lot more annoying than dragons.

    Phrases That Make You "Cringe"

    "Just pull yourself together" By that logic, there is no need for psychiatrists. The people using it are either: Trying to trivialize whatever difficulties you are facing. Trying to make you feel stupid for not already having pulled yourself together. Showing that they either...

    Good job NPC, good job.

    The AI (Alleged Intelligence) in X3 is truly horrible. I just witnessed a capital ship blow up a friendly space station. He was trying to destroy a pirate scout ship on the other side. And i have never met an enemy more frightening than my own (suicidal) autopilot.

    Suggest An Open World Game For A Bored Gamer.

    Freelancer. Space is open, right? Or if that is too simple for you, then how about X3 Terran Conflict? Tons of opportunities in that game. It has a steep learning curve, but it's very fun when you get into it. And there are countless usermade mods, scripts plugins and whatnot to add to the...

    What novel should they make into a game?

    The Mistborn trilogy, by Brandon Sanderson has the potential to be a brilliant game. I would love to play as an allomancer. The Night Angel trilogy, by Brent Weeks. Assassins Creed on steroids. A Song of Ice and Fire, by George R.R. Martin would be an obvious choice, but i think Cyanide is...

    I'm afraid, how about you?

    Loneliness and social interaction. I have to balance being depressed when alone and anxious in social situations. I usually try to deal with it by distracting myself. Also; attention, especially when it comes unexpectedly. (It is nice to have an ego maniacal, narcissistic best friend who...
