    LEGO Robot Can Self-Build Its Own Tower Indefinitely

    "Come, let us make bricks and burn them hard..." :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37Jlj0_FsZU I've seen Lego's Mindstorms platform applied in some pretty cool ways; seems like a good introduction to robotics.

    Dishonored: Operation Layarteb

    Now, including a Justin Bieber reference in the bottom text, THAT was a legitimately shocking twist. Swag, swag, swag on, you!

    Critical Miss: Top Five Games of 2012 #1

    Admit it, you just put this one in the top slot so you could type the sentence "2012's most rounded game character was a rectangle" :P I now feel obligated to play it due to your endorsement. I'd heard good things, but none this positive. You guys wanna clarify how much of your Honorable...

    How to Title Your Stupid Sequel

    Halo 4 is a confusing title numerically as well, as it is the sixth fps in the series. Seventh game, if you count Halo Wars. And can we talk about Assassin's Creed for a moment? Just because your games take place in the same time period doesn't mean they're not proper sequels. It's an...

    Conan O'Brien Enjoys Killing Nuns in Hitman: Absolution

    Please stop posting these. I despise this man and his live audience of hyenas.

    Another Gaming Poll for my studies, please participate!

    1. 19 2. Male 3. United States 4. A - PC more lately, but I own and play all of the above frequently. 5. C - 2-4 hours. I can't imagine living a single day without games. 6. C - Adventure/RPGs 7. B - Gameplay. That's what makes it a game, yeah? 8. Probably not - Backlogs are generally...

    Impressive Hollywood Fan Film Brings Half-Life Alive

    Am I the only one entirely unimpressed by this? XD Maybe it's because I know how much it cost, and I've seen better fanvids made on more modest budgets. The effects were underwhelming. Maybe it's because the tone was way off. Casual f-bombs and vocal protagonists don't belong in the HL...

    Assassin's Creed Dev Diary Teases Protagonist Crossover

    This might be more appealing of a tie-in if it came out before AC3. I don't understand the reasoning behind launching both games simultaneously. You will only lose potential sales to thos who will prioritize the console sequel over the portable spinoff. Shame, because this actually looks like...

    GameStop Chief Sheds More Light on Vintage Videogame Sales

    Why is Gamestop selling old games and consoles bad news? Because strictly speaking about services offered, retro stuff is the only advantage independent game stores have over Gamestop. I love my local indie media shops, and I hate to see them dropping like flies after giving me so many years of...

    Check Out the Escapist Expo's Official Panel Lineup

    Why are they arranged alphabetically instead of chronologically? T.T It's a little confusing to plan my weekend with this. Edit: Nevermind, different page. I should instead congratulate you guys for offering both formats. Herp derp.

    Escapist Podcast: 059: Puffins & Gaming in Relationships

    What was the transition music this time? I dig it. It is unreasonable to hold a piece of fiction to the standards of another. It is not unreasonable to expect a story to be internally consistent as far as logic and tone. That's why I take such issue with The Dark Knight Rises' silly plot...

    Escapist Podcast: 058: Layoffs at PopCap & Dragon Age 3 Leaks

    I would totally buy a Space Muffin T shirt, though I'd like to see the design. It'd be an excellent conversation starter. Fun fact: the highlights of non-drug-related top hits for "space muffin" included a website with no features other than an extended middle finger, a song by some Welsh...

    Trailers: Okami HD - Gamescom Trailer

    Guys, your links are wrong... XD You don't have to list retailers when it's a downloadable title.

    Trailers: Zombeer - Gameplay Trailer

    What... the hell... was that? I had never heard of this game before this moment, and now I know why.

    First Person Platforming

    That is exactly what I thought of when he said that :D Also, I think that's the way I'm going to explain Portal's mechanics to the uninitiated from now on: "It's a first person shooter, and you're the bullet." Platforming depends on a sense of awareness of one's position and full confidence...
