I will stop at this last answer, because it looks more and more like you will not see reason. You seem to be pushing with extreme force in highly unfortunate circumstances the opinion that Muslims are always the main victims of everything wrong in western countries, which possibly stems from...

I do not want to enter the debate about the consequences of this for Muslims in France, which, sadly, are going to be bad. In fact, if you can catch a french news channel, you will see that they already are. Right-wing extremists who borderline on facism are already jumping on this excuse to...

Being a French escapist who knows well Charlie Hebdo, I can at least vouch for that : they really aren't racist, and they don't hate Arabs specifically. They're provocative, very cynical, and use freedom of speech to the point of abuse, but their mocking have always targeted equally bigots of...

Count me among the ranks of people who never thought there was anything wrong with the Yuuhzan Vong. I found them by far the most interesting antagonists since Thrawn's demise. They were religious fundamentalists, which makes them pretty relevant to modern day readers(*), they had a good...

I simply cannot understand how this gets relayed as "news" on this website. I used to flag The Escapist content as interesting and thought provoking, and it looks like there's more and more of this... stuff. I mean, just look at the given source website. Look at it ! Not to mention the...

The amount of cruelty being displayed in this thread I find pretty amazing. And the worst part is not, for me, the lack of sympathy for the poor chaps who fell for it, but the fact that it comes from people who are actively demonstrating they are just as ignorant as the victims. I'm not...

Aaaaand, the omni-punchline from 4 years ago [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/comicsandcosplay/comics/stolen-pixels/7265-Stolen-Pixels-175-Ubisoft] is still accurate. "Hey, we just realized that we're not stopping pirates from playing, merely impairing our customers ! So...

Hum. Looking at the YT Video description, it may be true, but it's not a Valve project. An independent company (the "Steamboy Machine Team") is behind it. Wonder who they are and whether they're serious... Captcha : "in the cart" ...let's not get ahead of ourselves, right ?

What I know is that this news went live a few hours ago on a french "popular" videogaming website, but they have since updated it several times, admitting that their source was far from official and that this may be a fake. Link to the site in question - in french, obviously...

I'm afraid you are mistaken. Only canon stories left are Episodes + The Clone Wars ; all the rest is under the same "Legends" banner. Darth Bane is still canon, since he appears in TCW ; however, Revan as well as Exar Kun got the axe. (I'm betting on Revan being added back rather soon though...

You do see them, and their previous iterations are in The Clone Wars, but I believe they are never named on-screen. Hence you can only fly an "old vaguely Y-shaped rebel starfighter" until they chose to officially name them again. ;) Yup, that was the idea for the ships. (Unsure if Y-wings...

Hello, fellow Escapists. A friend and I, both Star Wars fans, have unwittingly started playing a game ressently, following the official announcement on Starwars.com over the shelving of pretty much the whole EU. We were discussing what's left (in short : not much), and what isn't. As it...

While I didn't received the blessing of the US education system, I am keenly aware of what you refer to. I believe I could even teach you a thing or two about formal logics, statistical reasonning and the theory of learning. The rest of my post - and point - still stands. Human rhetorics and the...

Well, as you say yourself, it is indeed "making a comparison". A comparison between "using a gamepad" and "bathing". Therefore implying that there is something to be compared between these two statements, an idea which is reinforced by the "think about it" statement that follows. Since no other...

Hum, that's not at all the way I understand what he's saying. The way I parse his sentence, I don't think he meant: "if everything else was wiped out, it would be nice to have the steam controller", but rather "it would be nice if everything else was wiped out and we had the Steam controller"...
