    Last time you were impressed by graphics?

    Technical: Race Driver GRID back in 2008. I mean, I just played nfs Undercover which is er.. kinda crap and have bad graphics and laggy. Then comes GRID with its crazy damage model and details and flashback. Aesthetics: Bastion. Maybe I haven't played enough games, but I think Bastion is the...

    Poll: Which System for ME3?

    Collector's Edition for the PC, because come on, i got a kick ass laptop that survived through 3 months of 108-110 degrees celcius on its graphics chips while im gaming. Besides, playing on consoles makes me feel.. dirty. In addition, I'll get it on the 8th of March, so all of you bastards...

    Mass effect 2 > Mass effect 1

    That is true! Yay! Yes the planet exploring adds some freedom and a sense of epicness into it, but fuck me it's boring.

    Poll: Regarding coffee...

    The barista near my old place looks like Jennifer Morrison (House, How I Met Your Mother, Command & Conquer 3), so I became a coffee addict in a short time, it also helps that the place is one of the highest rated in Sydney. I prefer less powerful coffee, like cappucino or long black. When I...

    Don't go to college (if you're in college, drop out)

    How the fuck can you not get a friend in college? I was a complete antisocial back in school, to the point where my school teachers are concerned and ask for a meeting with my parents. But I got lots of friends in college, including one who hook me up with a website design job. Also, after...

    If you can't do it, don't mock it?

    Hi Escapists, Recently, I did one of the stupidest thing one can do in the internets. I replied to a comment on Youtube!. The video i was watching was pretty shit and unoriginal and there is this dude that keep telling everyone is a troll because we criticise the maker of the video while...

    Mass Effect 3 Gives Steam a Miss at Launch

    I think some guy mentioned that DLCs for Steam games HAVE to be distributed through Steam, but I believe I have to use BioWare points for my Mass Effect 2, and Steam is fine with that. They just want their service to be popular don't they? I kinda don't understand, isn't hosting your own server...

    Poll: Is The "PC Elitist" As Common As The Escapist Would Like To Think?

    I voted yes. But maybe when I did 20 seconds ago, the word "console" is strongly tied with the Nintendo Wii, so yeah. haha, how can an opinion be.. "wrong" [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=People%20Who%20Think%20Opinions%20Can%20Be%20Wrong]?

    Never buy a Ubisoft game for PC

    Well I just finished Driver San Francisco, and just like Yahtzee, it is going to be on my top 5 of the year. The DRM are alright, I think? When I lost my internet connection, they just notified it, and.. nothing really happens other than disabled online multiplayer. I also have From Dust, but...

    Escapists First Jobs

    A fast food chain called, "Hungry Jack's", which is the Australian Burger King, different name due to trademarks and stuff I guess. Quit almost a year ago in search of a job that is related to my university studies (IT), no goddamn luck since. I really wish I didn't quit, It was kind of shit...

    "What If It Sucks?"

    Like I said, it is still very very good, and it is definitely on my top 10 games of all time, but it just lost that feel good feeling that I got when I first played Portal 1. It's not the game's fault. Think of it like this, the first time you go to the zoo when you were a kid it was goddamn...

    "What If It Sucks?"

    Portal 2? It is still very very good, but its not as good and enthralling as the first one. Once I saw that they are introducing a new, major character into the game, I know the game will be bugging me. But I do realise that making a sequel to Portal that have about the same quality is a...
