    Dumb and Stupid things you have seen on the internet.

    Most recently, the OP in this thread: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.978734-Feeling-sick-after-not-eating-for-14-days EDIT: truly hope that guy is trolling because after a quick check back in the thread it seems he is refusing to seek medical help because he is afraid of being...

    Tropes you are tired of.

    funny you would mention skyrim for that, the big bad is more of a demigod/elemental force than just a dragon and the lesser dragons are just roaring (voice) cannon fodder hunting you for food. i will say though that as cool as they tried to make the big final fight, his being a dragon did take...

    Its hard being a DC fan. (Rant)

    Honestly this is the first time ive ever seen someone express the opinion that they want another Man of Steel movie. id make some smartass joke regarding your sanity but honestly, that movie was just plain bad. saying Snyder isnt Michael Bay is a fair point, Bay's transformer movies were at...

    First Picture of Scar. Jo. as Major Kusanagi in GitS Movie

    at this point, id rather they pull a last airbender and ruin the whole thing, screw any chance of a second movie and let us all sit here smugly. that being said, whoever cast batou needs to be shot (or worse, receive a stern talking to, that'd show them), the actor resembles the character...

    Man Kills Self While Taking a Selfie With a Gun

    Are Male Movie-Goers Becoming Pickier?

    off topic i know, but I, Frankenstein was panned by critics and viewers? ill admit i never saw it in the cinema, but my partner and i rented the dvd and thought it was great (the origin story at the start being closer to the book than the boris karloff version helped on my part as well, that was...

    Tipping people who make more money than you.

    at the expense of looking like a clueless tourist should i ever visit America (i plan to at some point in the future), im just going to avoid the whole tipping culture entirely, why should someone feel ashamed for not paying extra on top of the bill? if a meal costs $20 then thats all im paying...

    Do we need more LGBTQ+ protagonists in video games?

    neither Kanji nor Naoto were gay, kanji was unsure at first as he was attracted to naoto who he thought was a guy (spoiler alert, naoto is a girl), and he had a complex built up in his head since he liked cute things but was supposed to be manly, naoto was definitely not gay, she just dressed as...

    Poll: Should Eevee have been the mascot of Pokemon?

    either they could use an everstone and never have Ash' eevee evolve, or they could make his eevee have the same ability as the one in the pokemon adventures manga, where it could evolve and devolve at will between any of the eeveelutions (although they did make it permanently evolve into an...

    Poll: Female Link in the next Zelda game - Your thoughts?

    all they need to do is slightly edit facial features, hip and bust size and really, link looks rather androgynous as it is. that being said though, i would rather character customisation, however limited it might be to keep it fitting with the theme of the game. they plan to make the next...

    Define a hardcore gamer.

    the easiest, although not most accurate description for fallout 3 and new vegas is oblivion/skyrim with guns; it is a first person open world sandbox game, more of an rpg than a shooter really, especially with the VATS system to negate any real need to run and gun. if you like shooters with more...

    Define a hardcore gamer.

    i have to ask, do you honestly think that fallout is "a lesser call of duty"? i know this isnt the thread topic so ill get to that later, but first, how do you compare an action rpg with shooter elements to a pure shooter and think its the same? fallout is hardly anything like call of duty, its...

    Nintendo and their franchises

    i cant say much for their other franchises but pokemon alone is picking up speed and becoming better these days, B/W and B2/W2 seemed a bit bland and more of an experiment with faux 3d effects but X and Y are easily the best games, so much so that i cannot go back and play the older games. even...

    Poll: What would you do if you found a Death Note

    they actually do mention in the manga what happens to users of the death note, they cannot go to heaven or hell so they end up in a state of 'mu' which is basically nothingness; ryuuk does tell light at one point that using the death note does not make you a shinigami, what is left unsaid until...

    Xbox 360: I wish they told me...

    only 2 hours lost? try falling asleep while playing skyrim then waking up just as the console shuts itself off; maybe then you will have a more substantial amount of lost time to rage about. at the time that was rather annoying, at least until i rolled over and fell back to sleep.
