    Escapist News Now: Pokemon X and Y Starters, New Features

    Really? I didn't know they'd been in production that early. In which case, I apologise, it seems I was incorrect.

    Escapist News Now: Pokemon X and Y Starters, New Features

    Actually, Digimon came first! Digimon started with a tamagotchi thing in 1997, while the first Pokemon games came out in 1998. But Digimon didn't start gaining widespread popularity till the anime came out later, so a lot of people assumed it was a Pokemon rip-off.

    Moments of Briliance in Crap Movies

    Speaking of the Twilight movies, the fourth one was the usual hilarious slush apart from the part with Bella wasting away through her pregnancy, and the birth. If it'd been in a horror movie, I'd have been wowed at just how horrible and creepy they made that. Watching it made me physically...

    Should Feminism and Gaming Mix?

    Whatever your views on feminism in gaming, I do wish people would stop bringing up this ridiculous argument. It's like if I drive over a bridge and it collapses, and then the engineers tell me, "Well, if you want a decent bridge so much, you should just build your own!" Why should I? I don't...

    Escapist News Now: New Sword Pokemon in X and Y

    Actually (much like the possessed toaster!), this makes a lot more sense when you consider it in its Japanese context. In fact, the toaster actually makes more sense, because the idea of household objects gaining souls after a century of use is a known concept in Japanese folklore...

    Are you a "nice guy"?

    So...basically, it's not worth putting time and effort into friendship with a girl if she's not eventually going to sleep with you? Wow. Well, at least you're honest. It's funny how many of these "nice guys" seem to think that being nice isn't just a mark of a civilised human being, but...

    Miracle of Sound to Premiere Mass Effect Song Live with BioWare

    Congratulations! I'll be one of the people buying the album...as long as I haven't already bought all the songs on it off itunes by then! Love pretty much all your stuff, and I'm glad to see you getting this kind of opportunity :)

    Hardest Moral Choice you had to make in a game?

    Given the amount of interspecies conflicts that might kick off in Mass Effect 3 (Geth vs. Quarians, Krogans vs. Salarians + Turians, Rachni vs. everyone) I'm really not looking forward to picking sides. Particularly Geth vs. Quarians. I can't help feeling that the Geth are in the right, but...

    Guys That Play Girls In Games. Why?

    On the flipside, I'm a girl here who recently made a male character. It was for my second run of Dragon Age, just to see what changed. I rarely give games second playthroughs (I have so many waiting on my to-play list), but games like Fallout, DA and anything else by Bioware are worth getting...

    Ever re-watch a whole series for nostalgias sake?

    I re-watched Digimon (and Digimon Adventure 02) last year! This year I've got sucked back into Pokemon. (I'm also having a current urge to go back and re-watch every single series of Star Trek, a lot of which I haven't seen in years...but I think I'd need to free up a month or ten to get...

    What is your favorite obscure Anime?

    I absolutely love Soul Eater. I ignored it for a while as just another series about shinigami, but after seeing a load of recommendations, I decided to give it a go after all. It's one of those series where you can't decide who your favourite character is because they're ALL awesome, and every...

    Discworld

    Most people hadn't heard of it? Really? I thought it was really well-known 0 . 0 Massive fan here, coming from a house where my mother owns a copy of pretty much every single one in paperback. I must admit, I still think The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic aren't as good as the rest...
