    Some design choice you question

    I've only recently bothered with UVHM on Borderlands 2. I have to question Rabids as an inclusion. Why rabids, just...why??

    Game of Thrones question regarding the Wights/Zombies

    I never thought they could "swim" as such. That they might cross water to get around the wall never struck me as a valid way for them to invade. As far as the books are concerned I always imagined it would turn out that the wights/white walkers had the horn of Joramun, because of how Ygritte...

    Darren Aronofsky's Mother!

    Mother! *MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD ? BE WARNED* Ok, I watched this earlier tonight. Once the movie ended I think I sat in a daze for about half an hour just trying to make sense of what I had just seen. I was slow in catching on to the movie's theme ? God & creation, the destructive nature of...

    How could Disney redeem itself from The Last Jedi?

    You want a Space Opera that is deep and insightful and rich in lore and history, Have a gander at Dune. This!

    Quick Question: What do they call this kind of Jumpscare?

    Also the 'suddenly falling object/rickety window shutting by itself/so many variants. Maybe in the future so called "horror movies" could come with a lame-o-meter for things like this - like it'd score 5 cats for over use of jump scares... I'm a wishful thinker.

    So is the Escapist dead?

    I hope it isn't. I'm often "a day late & a dollar short" but i've only just joined here. Don't be dead Escapist. Just... don't

    How do you feel about breaking the forth wall in fiction (movies, TV, games, books or plays)?

    It can be a lazy excuse for genuine humour, especially these days when self-referencialism is so popular in pop-culture (thanks Joss Whedon). If it's done well or fits the tone of the medium then i love it. From blatant examples like Deadpool to less obvious self referencing like Stargate, I...

    Quick Question: What do they call this kind of Jumpscare?

    I think if you want to categorize jump scares then: 1: The Trick Scare; the particular type you posted about. Characterised by the obvious set up of innocuous activity so banal that you feel the "scare" coming minutes before it happens. "You guy's, they'll never see it coming... she's...

    How could Disney redeem itself from The Last Jedi?

    I enjoyed it too. I'd be lying if i said there were no ??! moments for me (Leia Poppins & the mystery of Snoke- oh wait nevermind he's dead) but overall i liked the suggestion the story gave: that all that came before is not as important as what it's evolving into. I'm undecided as to...

    Escapists, what are you OTHER interests?

    Aside from movie & video game love, i also like to play drums. I'm not exactly a highly skilled drummer (definitely not up to the level of my idols-Bonham & Peart) but i love playing. Also, for most of my life, i've loved to make figurines. It started as a way of making toys for myself as a...

    Biggest flaws in your favorite games?

    I'm new to this site so...Hi! This seems like a good place to start posting. I'm currently replaying through Borderlands 2. While there's a lot i do like about the game (the humour, visual design, reward factor) i get frustrated every time i hit lvl 50 with my character and the exp gain...
