    Poll: Windows operating systems: Which one works for you?

    I'm running Windows XP at the moment. Mostly because I can't afford Windows 7 right now. I got a chance to try out 7 for a while though and I definitely found it better than XP. Never had any problems with it. I'm fine with both but I'd probably prefer 7.

    You are Awesome?

    Sadly, no, no I'm not. I'm a fairly boring person. So yeah ... (see, I can't even think of any awesome way to finish this post)

    What does your Avatar say about you?

    How about F-22's? http://www.atoptics.co.uk/fz568.htm Anyway, my Avatar is a crop from the Magic The Gathering card "Upwelling". The card art is by Chippy. I think it looks nice. Err... that's about it really. Oh and I guess it's my favourite cardidontactuallyown card. I'm pretty boring I...

    Games for my Mom?

    I second this. I think my mother 100%'ed PvZ by now. She doesn't play much else though. Alternatively you could try something like Prince of Persia (4... I think). The controls could be a bit hard but the game never really punishes you with a big GAME OVER, YOU LOSE/HAVE DIED etc. screen.

    Eyes

    Eyes are nice. Here are some shots I took with my webcam. I did some post-processing in Paint.net (not a very good webcam). I took two pictures (well ... selected two) from different lighting conditions to show how the colour changes. <spoiler=Directly under lamp> <spoiler=Near...

    Torchlight 2 and Diablo 3

    I'm really looking forward to Torchlight 2... mostly because so far it looks like it could run on my computer. I was looking forward to Diablo III, really really looking forward to. But when I discovered I couldn't run Starcraft II (well sure it ran, 8 frames per second still counts as...

    Poll: Do you watch long-form content on your computer?

    I don't really watch anything on the TV anymore. Although to be honest I haven't watched any new movies, series or anime lately either. I do watch Day[9] dailies on my laptop though, which often last longer than an hour. And some other casts that can go on for 30 or even 40 minutes too. So...

    Allnighters on the Escapist

    I generally just check the Escapist every 30 minutes - hour or so. (Unless I'm active in a thread, which barely ever happens) Check if any interesting news is out, see if there are any threads I feel like I could contribute to (I generally just lurk, in fact I just recently signed up after...

    Favourite Videogame music

    I think at least a quarter of my posts consist of recommendations to this. Which I guess isn't that bad considering my post count but I digress. <spoiler=Amon Tobin's Splinter Cell - Chaos Theory soundtrack> <spoiler=Amon Tobin - Hokkaido> <spoiler=Amon Tobin - Theme From Battery>...

    Looking for music that I've never heard before

    I don't know that much from the 70's. And considering that I probably can't recommend anything you're looking for. But you did mention liking soundtracks too and I really cant resist. Amon Tobin's soundtrack for Splinter Cell - Chaos Theory is one of my favourite albums/EP's, and definitely...

    So what is the escapist listening to... right now

    I'm listening to some of Pendulum's "The Island Remix Competition" entries. Namely this one: http://soundcloud.com/remix_pendulum/the-island-deluques-glitchstep-remix I really love experimental stuff like this. Its probably my second favourite track in the competition. Funny thing is when I...

    What events have happened on your birthday?!

    I got a keychain for my birthday that has things that happened on my birthday written on it. So I'll just write those. <spoiler=7 October> Niels Bohr was born(1885). A physicist who expanded quantum physics. In 1900, the term 'orienteering'(meaning the crossing of unknown territory with...

    Ever listen to music while you play?

    I almost always listen to music when I play Starcraft: Brood War. But I keep the in-game audio audible. Using sound cues to keep things flowing helps a lot. I'm still trying to figure out a good playlist for SCBW. I have a weird composition of dnb(mostly liquid, though I'm trying to balance...
