    If you could say anything to yourself from the past, what would you say?

    To me approximately 6 months ago, No, smoking pot after school "just to wind down" isn't a good idea. Weed is addictive and will fuck over your education. Then again I now realize that I'd rather pursue art, so hey, smoke it up; just don't waste $600 on shitty weed...

    Poorly Reviewed Games You Enjoyed

    Funnily enough one of my first post back in '08 was in a very similar thread. I'll give what I imagine is the same answer: Advent Rising. The game was received so poorly that they cancelled the would-be-stellar sequels. I think the highest review I've seen for it was 7.5ish. Edit: Looks like...

    Poll: Would you consider yourself a regular here on the escapist?

    I've been a pretty hardcore lurker for a couple years now, but I tend to post a couple times a month.

    Your very first thought when you came on the Escapist Forum

    "Only 4 subforums?" I guess I wasn't used to forums not being packed with random-ass subforums, as I was coming from different game forums a couple years back.

    I want boss battles, and only boss battles

    I'm sure it's been mentioned since I started reading this thread and it's been mentioned in the form of the TV Tropes list, but No More Heroes would qualify for pretty much just bosses.

    Why no love for the Nintendo Wii

    I don't think I would like my Wii nearly as much if I hadn't soft-modded it. To me, it's basically a portable console considering I can just grab the console and my HDD and plug it in at pretty much anyone's house seeing as nearly everyone owns a Wii. After modding it I realized how many great...

    "Good" Game = "I Like this Game"?

    Yes, I believe that one can dislike a game and still think it's a "good game." I didn't necessarily like Half-Life 2, but can see why it's praised so highly. I can barely even pick out what I didn't like, but I just know it's a good game that I don't enjoy. Conversely, I enjoyed Fable 2 and...

    Hall of shame: admit which games you are terrible at .

    Online shooters in general... I enjoy playing them, but I'm so goddamn bad. I usually just have one of my friends who don't suck play my account and pad my XP/K-D/whathaveyou.

    So I've been banned (LoL thread)

    The ban didn't seem warranted, I've had my fair share of games with shit scores. Also, a ban for only 3 games where only 2 players reported you doesn't seem right. I don't think Riot legitimately reviewed this case.

    Game series you are absolutely sick of.

    The Halo universe is so huge and untapped (at least in the games) that I'd be disappointed if they didn't continue the series. Especially since they left the 3rd game at a cliff hanger. OT: Besides the horribly obvious CoD, I'm kind of sick of seeing the "New Super Mario Bros." games. I know...

    Tryst - An Indie RTS on Steam. For Free.

    Well my friend has been begging me to buy an RTS to get me into the genre. So I suppose this could be something I'd be interested in. Sign me up.

    Double Amputee Killed by Houston Police Officer

    Wow, the officer could have at least tipped the guy over, I mean honestly. Why did they think shooting the guy in the wheel chair was a good idea?

    Is it time they stopped making new Pokemon?

    There's a whole lot of people in here who don't like Pokemon that are telling the series where they want it to go. Does anyone remember the Gamecube Pokemon games? Or even the recent Mystery Dungeon games? Those took the series in a new direction and a majority of people hated them. Honestly, if...

    Billy just earned one of his punx cards back.
