I've gotta say the ending confession during Brother Bear, and the hospital scene/ending from Big Fish. Daddy issues abound!!

We all love calling creatures or allies into battle and I for one love the sheer awe power of some of the attacks and cut scenes. I challenge thee to come up with your most inventive and useful summon mash-up between two creatures or whatever. They would join you temporarily in battle but you...

I'm currently living in Spain but live permanently in the UK and I've a positive opinion of British police in general. In Spain the police seem pretty relaxed in doing their job and this rubs off on you. They will walk past people drinking and smoking weed in the streets in most places if it...

In 1307, William tell shot an arrow through an apple on his son's head... In 1918, Latvia declares independence from Russia... It was decided that Mickey Mouse's birthday in 1928 is the same as mine... In 1991, it was the day Terry Waite was kidnapped in the Lebanon... In 1993, NAFTA was...

You should expect to put in 6-9 hours a day if you are revising and aiming for 3As. Study leave means you should replace the day at school with an effective bout of revision. People who work full-time tend to work 8 hours, its a fair amount of work for a day! Its your A-levels and they...

I'm referring to Xbox 360 and PS3 achievements/trophies. Some are the most time consuming grinds ever and some are just plain ace. Here's a few examples of the ones that delighted, surprised me or made me smile when they popped up. Arkham City: "Dial Z For Murder": Stop the phone booth killer...

I have never played an RPG that I couldn't complete. Every extra hour was spent working towards achieving the most from the game. If I didnt like it (Oblivion) then down it went. I'm 100+ hours into Skyrim though and wouldn't change it. If you want to ramp it up to Master then you can. I was...

I think they've mostly been mentioned above- theres only about 50 exclusive titles out there, not all good. I'd give the Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction and A Crack in Time a go, especially the latter. I'm a fan of Infamous, GoW, Valkyria Chronicles, 3D Dot Heroes. Loved Journey and...

Compare it to the Hulk (Ed Norton version), Iron Man (original only), Thor (I guess) and any of the X-Men and Spiderman movies, and Captain America comes near rock bottom. I am not impressed, he should have stayed as Johnny the Human Torch. Was very surprised when I heard this and has to rewind...

I platinumed FFXIII and completed the demo last night. I was impressed that the crystarium has been improved somewhat and was able to unlock the synergist and saboteur roles. There's plenty of scope for it, and you can even combine and destroy captured enemies to upgrade your '3rd' character in...

As a regular stoner for many years, I find it more upsetting that many of you still can't spell and write properly. I dont see myself as a sack of shit sitting there all day, I have never been out of work in my life. As for the OP, try it or dont, no forum is going to change your mind. Point is...

NIER- after you've completed it once, you have to complete the second half of the game a few more times, every time you do you find out a bit more of the story, i.e. the world isnt what it seems, what or who are the shades... Like other escapists I feel guilty killing canines and lupines!-...

How about 'Super Putty' for SNES or 'Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf' for Playstation? First sucked ass, second was immense!! I also had Ghosts and Ghouls for Spectrum ZX but have so far failed to locate it this century.

Eeeesh, OP. This has been the most indulgent thread I have ever read on The Escapist. Why seek a retort to every comment received- especially when asking for other people's viewpoints!! Accept other people's opinions or dont ask for them. I live in the UK, have gymed in Edinburgh...

My train hit some guy last night (11pm) on the way home. He survived, we got 3 hour delay, it didnt make the news and we dont know if he tried to kill himself. It meant I ended up spending 23 hours awake, and had been working as a sword-fighting extra on Game of Thrones since 5am, so really...
