    Looking for a desktop

    Getting our taxes back and looking to finally kick my 5 year old laptop to the curb. Having survived on a laptop for the last 5 years you can imagine that I am not truly the "PC gamer" type, however I want a machine that will be able to play all of the games that my friends enjoy [The Old...

    Joker Graces Arkham City Trailer

    Aaaaaaaand this just moved from "bargain bin, premium edition, for $20" in a few years (which is the way I just bought Arkham Asylum a few weeks ago) to "on my Christmas list, please somebody find this". :)

    Poll: Hobby Survey! (Participation needed please Escapists!)

    Stay inside, 22. Not sure what kind of research course you are taking, but hopefully you are taking into account that this is far from a random survey. Being at a "gaming based website" your results are going to be skewed as such. Disclaimer: I didn't read through the topic; sorry if this...

    Poll: what's your favourite evolutionary phase in Spore?

    I've never gotten very far into the Space stage. I love everything leading up to; but I just couldn't get into the space part of Spore. I would have rather seen the game go into much more depth in the other departments and have just left Space alone. Creature > Cell > Tribe > Civ

    Poll: How do you name your pets?

    How do you go about deciding what to name your pet; be they furry, fluffy, scaly, feathered, hairy, or otherwise? Do you name them after someone famous, someone fictional, some obscure lore reference, a trait they have, the first thing that comes to mind when you see them? Just curious...

    Poll: How many games do you buy each year?

    3-4 I usually average about 1 per season that really perks my interest. Anything else I will throw onto a Birthday/Christmas list for multiple years until the price drops low enough that some relative picks it up for me, or I find it for ~$10 in a bargain bin 5 years later.

    Poll: Have you ever felt a bad pain in a dream?

    Actually one of the first dreams I can still remember from my childhood was of me being picked up by a large dragon/tyrannosaurus rex and impaled on one of its massive teeth. I woke up mid-stab with my back arched as far as I think was possible and a terrible pain in one of the muscles running...

    Favorite Game Cube Game

    63 replies before PSO was mentioned? Sad day indeed. Anyway, PSO 1&2 is also my #1. Mario Kart DD and SSB:Melee are up there too, but I doubt I've sunk over 400 hours on either of those two games, like I have PSO.

    Question of the Day, August 6, 2010

    Yes, between two consenting adults. Yes, but only in private tells. I've dabbled in the likes (in very small doses) on a small MMORPG a few years ago. It was strictly roleplay though; through private messages and the game's mail system. So really, I feel the first two answers are acceptable.

    College books are expensive, right?

    I don't remember exact numbers, but I know my books have run anywhere from $50 to $200+ a piece. If you have 5 classes you could be looking up to $1,000 for books, and that's assuming you don't have additional (lab) books - which some freshmen classes have. The best solutions to this that I...

    Poll: Attention Shoppers: Today's Special is Apocalypse

    It's a normal day. You are out doing your regular shopping at your local department store. The only problem is: that today is not a normal day, because today is the beginning of the end of the world as everyone knows it. The apocalypse has just begun right in the middle of your home town...

    Favorite games for the Nintendo DS

    Only games I have for my DS are Pokemon HG/SS, Dragon Quest IX, and Phantasy Star Zero; but they're all wonderful games that I would recommend for almost any RPG player.

    Poll: Zombie Invasion: what weapon do you reach for first?

    Giving proper supplies and conditions the Shotgun and/or Assault Rifle would be ideal, however, every good survivor knows that ammo wont last forever and that eventually you'll have to resort to Plan B. The baseball bat might be okay, depending on it's make. Personally, I'd rather be equipped...

    ok...this just trips me out..

    Eminem (not hard) Ash Ketchum (in 10 guesses!) Scorpion (15 guesses!) And, the most surprising to me: Darth Bane! This thing is amazing.
