    22 y/o too old for pokemon?

    I have a 53-year-old professor who is really into video games, including Pokemon. If this guy isn't too old for video games then you definitely aren't. Besides, most statistics says the average age of a gamer these days is in the 30-35 area. I'd say if anything, you're too young to be playing...

    Epic setup guys. Can't wait until the next episode. It'll be something to look forward to. :^)

    The Escapist Presents: MovieBob Reviews: Watchmen

    While I do admit that I did enjoy the film and the change of Ozymandias's master plan was possibly better than in the novel, I do think they went a little TOO over the top in some areas. Specifically, I think they overdid the sex scene and emphasized the violence a little too much. This is one...

    There Will Be Brawl: Episode Three

    I love how, despite being a stripper (a CLASSY one at that!), Samus is STILL badass and in command. It's awesome!

    Excuses on the High Seas

    Question, and this isn't about games but software piracy in general. Actually, piracy I've done for this reason. What if you need software or a game for college classes, but on your current budget, it's way too expensive and you don't have anyone you could bum the software/game off of? Would...

    What Games Would You Consider A "Cult Classic"?

    Even so, from what I understand, they're considered fairly mainstream over there. Maybe not the number one title, but up there.

    What Games Would You Consider A "Cult Classic"?

    In the US, I'd say the MegaTen games. They're supposed to be really popular in Japan but you barely hear about them Stateside.

    Controversial Games

    My personal take on it is that it isn't appropriate to make parodies about something tragic until five years after the event so there's a little separation. However, I also think it's okay to make a game/movie/book/whatever about anything. It's called Freedom of Speech and it should cover...

    Gaming Academy Awards!

    I'm not even going to comment on the nominees because of how subjective it is, but I do have to agree on the organization and presentation. These are supposed to be our equivalent of the Oscars. I know that gaming culture tends to be rather laid back but a little dignity and professionalism...

    Poll: A penis in GTA IV, your thoughts.

    I really fail to see what's wrong with showing a penis in a game rated 18+. They get shown in movies of the equivalent rating so why not in a video game meant solely for and sold to adults?

    Editor's Note: Avast, Ye Mateys!

    "But it's a sad revolution, one grounded in consumption more than ideals, fueled by a fervor that typically evaporates at the first hint of prosecution. It's probably brought very few of us together and only encouraged greater anonymity and paranoia." Actually, I met a few close friends of...

    The Escapist Presents: MovieBob: Oscar Show

    I'm a sucker for accents, what can I say?

    The Escapist Presents: MovieBob: Oscar Show

    Bob, I would love your videos even more if you kept the accent. It makes you sound badass. Onto the topic: I agree on Batman being gypped. I'm not even one for comic book-based movies, but this was a damned good one that at least deserved some kind of mention. I can understand not wanting to...

    Doomsday Arcade: Episode Four

    Isn't he, though? Soon it will no longer be ceiling cat, but LAZER CAT (yes, with caps) that watches you while you masturbate. :^D
