The worst part about the lack of innovation is that the game still requires you to sit through a long winded, meaningless tutorial for every freaking game function. I've known how to swing a sword in Zelda since the 1980s, you can give it a rest.

Hey, I always thought it was just me! Sometimes I get the urge to pick this one up. Usually around the second town, I remember that only one or two characters were not painfully annoying/abrasive, and I quit. If I'm lucky, I can just thumb through the manual and get the same reminder. I...

Everyone likes to see the numbers go up. I get a little thrill every time that little pop up shows up. I can't stand it when a game gives you almost every achievement just for finishing the single player; I just don't feel like I achieved anything. I think part of the reason people look down...

Perhaps we could have a whole line of meme-based software: Photoshoop: The Whoop, Typing with Keyboard Cat, Symantechnoviking, and so on.

I agree that windows has severe security issues, but--shutting up now. Man, sometimes you just want to hijack the thread and start a flame war, you know? I like to think every software developer has things queued up in the pipeline. It means you're going to see new products and new features a...

It's not wrong of you; you're just being manipulated into spending time and money for a reward of dubious value. The real criminal is the man who invented Gamerscores. Scratch that. The REAL criminal is whoever figured out you could bribe kids with completely worthless gold star stickers.

It doesn't need to. And maybe it shouldn't. As an OS or program gets more popular, the incentive to find exploits and write viruses increases.

Stupidest argument I ever had: "...and I say that Lavos has to exist outside of time, because when you defeat him, he is defeated in all times." "Of course he's not dead at all times, he comes back in Crono Cross!" "Yeah, like you understand HALF of what's going on in Crono Cross!" I'm a...

I've spent the past three years entering contests hundreds of contests. They all end the same way: "We regret to inform you..." "Competition was fierce..." "The position has been filled..." "Unfortunately, there are only a small number of job openings..." "We've found a more qualified...

This is my bane. My pettest of peeves. My Moriarty, if you will. I'm going to rant for a few paragraphs here, so feel free to skip it. YES. 100% concurrence. If I'm not looking for a fight (because maybe I have a life to get back to) why should I have to run through twelve or fifteen random...

Not only is the level cap 9999, your stats increase geometrically. That means the higher your starting stats, the more you gain per level. You can reroll your characters at level 1, and depending on how high your stats are, you start with more stat points. Which means the strongest characters...

This is far from the first time this has happened. If the past is anything to go by, the truth of the game will come out sooner or later. I mean, if you were planning on buying it at launch, you probably don't need to read a review. Otherwise, you can wait for non-bribed reviews.

The Escapist : Forums : Off-topic Discussion : "Please help! No seriously. Dude I'm not joking. I need HELP!!!! Pics of my family inside." Mod Post: I moved this from User Reviews to Off Topic Discussion. First Poster: Haha! With a sister that hot, I'd help! LOLOL. Second Poster: Is...

Hitman IX: Silence the Internet

I can think of hundreds of better ways to contact the outside world than the Escapist. First of all, he'd have to register before posting. Second of all, he would have more success posting in another language to spark curiosity. Has everyone already forgotten the Iranian election riots...
