    Xbox 360 troubles.

    I've recently had some issues with my Xbox 360 connecting to Live over the past couple months. While my PS3 and Civ5 have been keeping my eyeballs warm and bloodied, I wanna get around to Dawnguard sometime soon, so I'm looking for advice. My Xbox is that MW2 special edition one; therefore...

    BioWare Announces Post-Ending DLC for Mass Effect 3 [Updated!]

    Does ANYONE pause to think about how this mess makes the game industry LOOK? Video gaming doesn't need any help looking shitty in the public eye- you don't need to HELP people who already think gaming is a kiddie hobby and not worth its due respect by acting like immature, entitled shits. This...

    Poll: D&D data-farming: Player to DM ratio

    I find a major problem with all my attempts to get games together is that I don't know anyone who can DM. I just wanted to know if it was a common issue; I hear a lot of people don't get as much satisfaction from DM'ing as playing as a party member.

    Escape to the Movies: The Hunger Games

    Damn, Bobby- you're really good at selling your case about movies. Won't repeat any of it though, my roommate is a fan of the books.

    Mass Effect 3's Ending Was Intended To Polarize

    Referring to Child's Play as a "nerdling charity" is a bit degrading. They do good work.

    2012: A Space Odyssey; A Mass Effect 3 review

    I am what the Internet may deem a ?Mass Effect fanboy. I?ve played the first two more times than any person should, I have strong opinions on the series? lore and characters and I?ve even given brief thoughts about reading the tie-in comic books. Therefore, it wouldn?t be too out of place to...

    Spike Awards

    For some reason I feel compelled to watch it even if it is for the expressed purpose to make hipstery comments at the EB Games to feel some pathetic sense of superiority; that said, this year wasn't as bad as last year, but was still pretty bad. Everyone who won an award deserved what they...

    Poll: Bethesda Vs. Bioware

    I prefer Bethesda, but their single player "I am a lone wanderer on a quest to save the world. I am a stoic, misunderstood badass whose only friend is his sniper rifle/longbow" appeals to me. Additionally, Skyrim's depth is something I thought impossible in this day and age, and it appeals to...

    Escapism Through Gaming

    Well, I'm a pretty avid gamer and a university student, and I'm on Effexor, so from my experience there is a positive correlation with regular gaming and depression.

    Poll: How many Escapists are actively seeking a job in the game industry?

    I'm curious; the Escapist community has a large percentage of folks who are concerned with fostering and developing gaming as a legitimate artform, but how many are actually making a commitment to the industry? Disclaimer: I'm not trying to be offensive or calling anyone out on anything, I'm...

    Poll: Should I buy Amnesia: The Dark Descent?

    It is the scariest thing I've ever experienced and I can't bring myself to play it, so now would be the time to buy it if the game fires a pussification ray at you like it did me.
