    Poll: What area frustrated you the most in Dark Souls?

    The small bridge with dragon arrow archers in anor londo made me rage so hard. Also tomb of the giants because all the ennemies are way too strong there. Then lost Izalith made me lose it because of all the fucking jumping dinosaurs. Also try to meelee the hellkite dragon, fun times... (For...

    The Depression test.

    Got 55 which mean severe depression. It's fitting considering I just started taking anti-depressants... Don't try to "endure" your bad mood, it will only hurt you more in the end. I first realised I was depressed when I started crying for no good reason. Now I have to drop school for a...

    Your favourite game character is ringing your doorbell.....

    It'd be KOS-MOS from xenosaga and I'd open her for study. Then I'd make copies of her and conquer the world!!!

    Poll: Lyrics in video game music

    I only like lyrics in video game music when it doesn't mean anything (omnious latin chanting and the like). In fact I dislike lyrics in the vastt majority of songs, video game or not. Adding lyrics to video game song remix should be a crime (I'm looking at you OCremix... >.>).

    What is the hardest boss ever?

    The one I had to retry the most was The Guy from IWBTG. Took me about 500 try. For more "normal" games I'd say that the belial and wizard fight in Odin sphere was really, really cheap. Getting polymorphed into a frog with no more cure when the boss is at it's last sliver of life? Rage...

    question for non native English speakers

    I'm going with your friends on this: British accents are a lot harder to understand than american ones. Maybe it's because i'm a french speaking canadian and so we share some north american similarities in our accents?

    Have you ever tried making games?

    I'm making a RPG maker Xp game. I'm 6+ hours into it and about one quarter of it is complete. I've sunk countless hours into this (about 150h per hour of gameplay i'd say) since 3 years. I think it's pretty good quality (at least compared to the average rpg maker game) even if I still use the...

    Poll: Anyone else feel Starcraft II storyline is weak?

    I've only played 6 or seven missions, but I think that the plot goes at snail pace. We only roam the galaxy to get more money and units. Sure we help those colonists, but they don't feel very important to the storyline. Also making me choose their fate was a dick move. I don't want to replay the...

    Any Bilingual Escapists here?

    Etant donne que je suis Quebecois, je parle naturellement le francais. J'ai appris l'anglais en jouant a des jeux et en me promenant sur le net. Ca reste quand meme surprenant de voir a quel point le reste du Canada nous hait. Je ne suis pas independantiste mais ca commence a me faire changer...

    Roger Ebert still maintains that video games can't be art.

    What I don't get is that drawing, music and writing are considered art, but suddenly, when you put them together with a little dose of interactivity, they're not art anymore. The concept arts, musics and scenarios can be considered art in their own right so why don't we treat video games as...

    A View From the Road: FarmVille Isn't Going Away

    This whole barrier of entry thing confuses me. True the need to learn to use a controller or to buy hardware is a major hurdle for getting new people into the hobby. What I don't get is how Zynga's games are different in that aspect from other flash games except for the part where they are...

    Poll: How long was it for you between finding the escapist and joining?

    I remember discovering the escapist in early 2009 while searching for some good editorials on the subject of video games. Then a few weeks later I wanted to join to try genre war, but at my great surprise I already had an account and it is dated from 2007. O.o I have absolutly no idea where it...

    232: Game Development for the Damned and Delirious

    This remind me of some RPG maker forums, where the very atmosphere is poisonous. If you're not making a 100+ hour game with complete custom graphics musics and systems with a team of 25, you're not worth a reply. People will always criticize what you do, but they'll never actually TRY to play...

    What game are you most proud of conquering?

    I'm one of the few crazy enough to play and finish I wanna be the guy. I did it on normal difficulty, but it doesn't change much for the hardest part of the game: The Guy himself. It took me around 500 tries (6 hours of "press R to try again!"). As for my 100% completed games that i'm the...

    Poll: What is your favourite genre of gaming and why?

    Whoa, this poll is missing my two favorite gaming genre: platforming and action. True, platforming is almost dead but still...
