    Is Steve Jobs the 2nd Greatest Innovator of All Time?

    Could not be bothered reading through 11 pages of replies to see if this person was mentioned by someone else, but: DENNIS. FRICKIN. RITCHIE. Who is he, you may be asking? If you consider yourself any kind of hardcore techie and you don't know who he is, consider your tech-geek membership...

    Everquest Offers Weak Free To Play Options

    Where is the "I refuse to so much as touch it because I am already a recovering MMO addict" option? >_>

    The Star Wars Prequels suck. It's been over a decade. Get over it.

    It all comes down to perspectives and opinions (as in everyone is entitled to their own. If you don't like it, go jump off a bridge.) In the end it largely comes down to which order you watched them in. If you are from an older generation that watched them 4/5/6/1/2/3 then I can understand...

    An antagonist that you absolutely loathe

    I'd say the one antagonist that I hate above all others would have to be Sakaki from the .hack//G.U games for the PS2 Crispin Freeman does a great job as his voice actor but there is something about Sakaki that makes me want to punch him in the face. REPEATEDLY.

    Petition: Uganda enforcing death penalty to homosexuals

    Most of my thoughts have already been covered in prior posts, so I'm just going to add a quote I picked up from twitter a few days back that sums up my thoughts nicely: "Homosexuality is found in 450+ species. Homophobia is found in only one (humans). Which one seems unnatural now?"

    Share a free game you've found with your fellow escapists!

    The Marathon Series (by Bungie) http://source.bungie.org This game is essentially the predecessor to Halo (there is even a couple of achievements in Halo games with marathon-related 'titles'), and is definitely worth checking out, it was released into the free domain by Bungie quite some...

    I think my boyfriend is developing a WoW addiction?

    This coming from an ex-WoW addict, all I can really say is be kind, but firm in your methods. Sit him down and talk to him, do NOT get aggravated with him, he will only slam the proverbial door in your face. Try your best to wean him off it, set some limitations with him, and see if you can...

    Zero Punctuation: Beatles Rock Band and Guitar Hero 5

    With regard to him saying at the end "Who owns 3 USB microphones anyway..." (I have not read through the entire thread so I don't know if this has been covered) XB360 microphones (the ones that plug directly into XB360 controllers) are compatible with Guitar Hero, and I'm not 100% certain...

    The Marathon series is now freeware. You can download it from http://source.bungie.org (download AlephOne and whichever map pack you want, from Marathon classic right up to Tempus Irae, or some of the more obscure mission packs)

    Your faveorite outdated game.

    I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Star Control 2, that would have to be one of my favorite games from when I was younger. "FRUNGY FRUNGY FRUNGY!" >_>

    Do you like anime? Write for The Escapist!

    *points to self* Another non-american that has to miss out due to regional restrictions *grumbles at lack of love for Australians/New Zealanders and goes back to working on a guest review to submit anyway* One of my friends offered to me to act as an intermediary for forwarding the review...

    Am I the only one with a durable Xbox 360?

    My XB360 lasted 1 year, 1 month before finally suffering the RRoD, and is now in its Cardboard Coffin waiting to be sent off for repairs in the morning.
