These are all that I can think of for now, they're pretty common gripes, but I saw a few that hadn't been mentioned yet: -Any RPG that forces you into a easy, time consuming, hand-holding starter dungeon or lengthy unskippable cutscene (looking at you Elder Scrolls/Fallout). If it's my first...

My warcry is the simple, yet elegant. I shall charge down my enemies with the glorious howl of: WORT WORT WORT!

EDIT: Yes, I`ve noticed the overabundance of PC gaming threads. No, I don`t care. Alrighty my Escapist brethren, I've a confession to make; I have long been peering into the realm of the PC game. Like a child who wanders the toy store, I've looked at websites, played around on my cousin's...

With the satisfaction that my term as president of the earth has seen the birth of FTL travel, the death of fossil fuel overconsumption, and the end overpopulation. That my legacy has been sucured as the greatest leader of mankind, when man is on the path to well and truly achieving its...

Well, as a male with only the slightest hint of fashion sense, I would have to pick Elizabeth the 1st's outfit. Sure it's bulky, stifling, and puffed to the nth degree, but you could just pick off the jewels and gold and live of the profits. Elizabeth #2 is far less interesting...

Does anybody remember that one boss in The Shivering Isles that was an ethereal copy of the player? Stats, armor, health, and reaaally powerful sword? Because I was a level 40 with kick-ass armor and awesome stats. The armor also had reflect damage, and chamelon, and resist normal weapons. Oh...

(Tears up) So..much..Hunchback love. In all seriousness though, I can see why it might not be the most popular Disney movie with the actual kids themselves, but is more popular with us as adults/juveniles. Def. my personal favorite. Also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ogQ0uge06o Bear Necessities.

With the upcoming release of Rome Total War 2(yay), I felt it would be appropriate to ask the Escapists to reveal their personal favorite game/mod of the venerable RTW series and why. If you feel like it, share some of your favorite moments and memories. Mine is Europa Barbarorum, a total...

This one's on the tin. What is the best/most fun/most enjoyable game modification you know of or have played. For me it's Europa Barbarorum, the best, most historically accurate total conversion mod for Rome: Total War.

Holy Jesus riding on a unicorn...I've finally stopped lurking. Yes, after lurking for almost 5 YEARS like a games-aware Escapist Gollum, I've seen the light and joined the enlightened master-race of Escapist members. I watched the forums, I watched Escape to the Movies, ZP, Big Picture...

Thanks, this really is a great community for all of the forty eight hours I've been here. Everyone is welcoming and friendly, and all of my threads are doing really well.

I'm afraid that I owe my allegiance to myself, but I will serve other temporarily to further my own secret aims....

Never said it wasn't

Simple; as a new user I was curious to see what everyone else did when they first joined. If you can, recount your first tentative comments or threads here on the Escapist for us.
