    Teen dot com has Escapist user accounts?

    I'm not really happy with this sort of thing and as I've not been online on the Escapist in ages, is there a way to delete your account / hide it? I've been through all my settings. I only found out because there are the odd blog hit from that teen.com website.

    Glitches and Bugs: The Dark Side of Gaming

    That freaked me out. And this happened to me the other day. I threw some girl in Dishonored and she got stuck and became this strange twitching monstrosity... I couldn't pick her back up to move her either, so she just stayed there, bobbing away. It was well weird. Other bugs I...

    Single Player vs. Multi-Player

    Welcome to the Escapist :) Personally - I don't play multiplayer, despite paying for Xbox Live Gold - I don't mind playing co-op with friends, or you know, restricted private games across the network, but in all honesty I've never really had a fun time playing multiplayer with a group of...

    Bioshock Infinite: The latest victim of the Stupid-American-Box-Art Virus.

    Both of those would be insanely more amazing than what they've currently suggested. If I could vote for a cover, I'd pick either of these.

    Splurges, bad game buys, impulse buys.

    I bought Mirrors Edge for a whole 70p from HMV during a crazy sale. I didn't actually mind Mirrors Edge and enjoyed the game and probably would have paid a smidge more than the mediocre 70p for it (with the exception of not being able to jump absolutely everywhere I wanted and dealing with gun...

    Games that make you lose track of time.

    I've been trying to finish off Deus Ex for the past few weeks (alongside you know, work and getting fresh air) and when I start playing it, I could easily lose a few hours before my stomach rumbling reminds me to get up and get some food. I had the greatest weekend playing it - I don't think...

    In Defence of the Dashboard

    Oh I am going to need to get a new pair of glasses...

    In Defence of the Dashboard

    I have heard the adverts have become bigger with the new update, but for people like me with short-sightedness and a habit of breaking/losing my glasses, at least I know what they're for now.... Just kidding. I have no qualms with the adverts. I know exactly where everything I want is, and...

    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    I don't know if anyone can help me, but this was one of the first games I played. I was very, very little, so my memory isn't great, but it would be awesome to know what the game was called. I believe it was a DOS game, and basically it was a black screen, with white lines indicated a maze...

    What are your thoughts on multiple endings?

    I don't know if I like multiple endings. I like being able to give different responses in conversations, or choose to make a decision to kill someone or not, but at the end of the day by the time I've got to the end of the game, if I have to play through the whole game again to get a different...

    If you could...

    That would be true - have to start in the living room. I just wouldn't want it to start with 'selecting case mission' like in LA Noire, because that just felt clunky to me in some respects, and pulled me away from being the character. I'd like it to be more fluid... But then I guess you...

    Need help identifying a game

    Do you have any further information? Such as the setting you were in in the demo, what sort of time period, any notable characters descriptions, what sort of weapons you had? At the moment it just kinda sounds like Fable 2 to me (but maybe its the whole orbs thing) but that would have been on...

    If you could...

    This is a really good idea, and I'd certainly pay money to play a game with a concept like this as long as it was pulled off in the actual game design. On a similar strain, I would have liked (if I had such the capacity) to design a game which would have focused on Sherlock Holmes in the...

    Are you getting Dishonored?

    I'm definitely going to be picking up Dishonored, and it will probably be the first game this year I purchase on release (or a few days post release). I've had to be really good with my money, and considering they still seem quite expensive, gotta be careful. But I'm quite enthusiastic seeing...

    "Girl Gamer Syndrome"

    Thanks (I think!) I guess in that particular circumstance she was getting really... agitated towards me and because we had a lot of mutual friends it seemed beneficial to try and just, be mates with her rather than go in with guns blazing - which is exactly my initial reaction was to be like...
