    Dates And Bragging

    I've been on a date where the girl was trying to impress me in much the same fashion in the original post. She told me about all of these skills she had and talents that were "unrecognized by the masses" (I'll never forget that line.) I then caught her off guard by asking her (more like...

    What's the most you've cried at a fictional character's death?

    This definitely got me. I've NEVER had a game make me cry until Mass Effect 3 and I cried 4 times during it. Also there's an older movie called "Simon Birch" that I watched as a child, and as someone with an uncle (more like a brother) who has Downs Syndrome, I bawled my eyes out the entire...

    In no particular order, let's see if I can remember them all Game Boy* Game Boy Color* Pikachu Game Boy* Game Boy Advance* GBA SP * Game Gear NES* SNES Genesis* PSOne PS2* PS3* Xbox Xbox 360 (had 2 of the grey ones) Xbox 360 Elite* (love this console) DS Lite* Wii*...

    What is your biggest gaming weakness?

    I have a hard time committing to a talent tree in RPGs. I will literally spend an hour in a simple leveling system like Borderlands and read each skill, look at how it progresses, try to imagine how I'm going to play, map out if I'm gonna have the talent points to do more than one, and I STILL...

    Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Giveaway and Live Stream

    I registered. I've always wanted to try Monster Hunter and with Brawl coming out next year, I definitely want a Wii U. Also no need to ship it to me. I only live about 2 hours from the Escapist offices so if I win I'll come pick the system up myself :-)

    Poll: In your lifetime , how many consoles have you owned at launch?

    None for me. Generally it takes time for me to 1. develop enough interest to move to a new device, and 2. save up the money to be able to afford it. I generally come in on things a little later either when the price drops or I can get it with some kind of bundled sale. The closest one for me...

    Poll: Susan Arendt is gone...do you wonder if the Escapist is hurting?

    Pretty much this, I always appreciated Susan's enthusiasm during Podcats, and while I enjoy READING the things other contributors write, it just doesn't translate as well to podcast audio/video. Susan had a good way of reeling everyone in when the conversation got too sidetracked, but now it...

    Crazy Dunkin' Donuts lady

    It was the weirdest thing. I live in a small town in South Carolina, and our theater wasn't showing the "Obama: 2016" or whatever it was called. I wanted to see it, and our sister theater 7 miles down the road had it, but we didn't and because we didn't I was apparently a communist. I was just...

    Crazy Dunkin' Donuts lady

    I used to be an assistant manager at a movie theater and have heard everything from "you changed the times so i would miss my show" to "we planned our entire night around this show and it's sold out? are you gonna give us free tickets?" to "you're a racist because I had my phone out during the...

    For those buying PS4, what will you spend your extra 100 bucks on?

    Assuming I actually buy the PS4 with my own money (my birthday is less than a month after Christmas so I may be able to swing one for free) I would put that extra $100 towards something practical. Money's a bit tight right now and I have monthly bills around $950. (being an adult fucking sucks)...

    Your weakness

    I wrecked my left knee and ankle playing baseball and occasionally my entire left leg will just give out on me. Also broke my right wrist twice and sometimes it'll lock up (especially when it gets cold out) and cause my entire hand to swell/go numb. The only food weakness I have is pizza. I...

    Do you find playing a character of the other gender awkward?

    I actually prefer to play as a female character because I don't fall into the traps of projecting myself onto the character. I feel it allows me to explore options in a game's story (like Mass Effect for example) that I wouldn't have. I could never bring myself to kill the Rachni queen when...

    Have people grown bored with zero puncutaion

    I still look forward to ZP every week. Like so many others he was the reason I came to The Escapist, and yes they have much more content I look forward to every week, but I still bookmark ZP each time. I still watch each one several times to make sure there's nothing i missed. I still get a few...

    When does Spring begin for you? A Saskatchewanian perspective.

    Me personally, it starts when the first pitch is thrown of the MLB season. I live in South Carolina and it's usually pretty warm even in the winter/fall months, so to me the calendar dates of when seasons are supposed to start are irrelevant. Also I wear basketball shorts and sandals just...

    Feeling Depressed? Express yourself!

    Right now the things that have me down are as follows: Low-paying, low-hour job that is boring beyond belief. Mounting student loan debts always hang over my head I've been out of college since 2010 and the only work I've been able to find is shitty part-time stuff. I want to be a creative...
