So Escapists, since Skyfall is coming out soon, I thought I'd pull out this question: Which James Bond theme song is the best? Best for me: Tie between Dr. No (because it's a classic) and Quantam of Solace (Jack White is a genius.)

Some thoughts... The actor who plays John Carter....so-so. I was hoping something more along the strain of...Viggo Mortensen? Although the costumes are very good. Just a little bit disappointed by the green men, I was expecting something a tad bulkier but what's done is done. Red men and...

So a friend and I were discussing the topic of lightsaber duels within the 6 Star Wars films. I contended that the duel between Obi-Wan, Darth Maul and Qui-Gon Jinn was the best of all the duels. My reasoning being that this was the first real duel outside the original trilogy and Lucas...

This one might amuse people. It seems like the School of English at Trinity College in Dublin has taken to hiring mighty sword-swinging barbarians to educate the masses. Professor Conan teaches courses in Hyborian Studies and Tyrant Slaying, and has a degree in literature entitled: "To...

Escapists, what, in your opinion was the best Sonic game? Which game do you consider as being the peak of that blue hedgehog's career? And by which game did you realize that the Sonic franchise had bottomed out? For me, Sonic and Knuckles was the best game. I loved the music, the...

Now, I know that the games as art debate has basically been done to death by this point. Nevertheless, I want to know, Escapists, how do you rate Bastion? In my opinion, Bastion is a game that can very easily be called art. It's amalgamation of beautiful artwork, graphics, music and the...

I play quite a few, though in my case my college studies on music composition more or less require me to have knowledge of more than a few instruments. woo composers!

I'm a music composition major in university up in the great white north. Favourite composer: heitor villa-lobos. the latin american composers are all pretty good and have very unique sounds. from the european family I really like tchaikovsky, brahms, and modern composers like lutoslawski...

plot holes or plot problems? Independence Day Spoiler: Jeff Goldblum infects the alien mothership with a computer virus. From a Mac. and it works. Because aliens obviously run the same hard and software we do. Nuff said.

These anime humans would become the ultimate soldiers. Their ability to keep fighting no matter how much damage they take in battle will be vastly superior to regular humans. As long as their [anime human's]convictions are solid and they are fighting for friendship, they will never fall. They...

Just for you to try, maybe this one. Hymnen by Karlheinz Stockhausen. It's a compilation of national anthems from different countries around the world. It's maybe 2 hrs in length and guaranteed to drive you insane if you listen to the whole thing.

Distant Relatives by Damian Marley and Nas. One of the best albums of the year in my opinion. Rap mixed with some reggae and toasting.

Praetor.

Chuggaconroy for Nintendo games. SSoHPKC for other games. Chuggaconroy is really energetic and has detailed LP's. Also tends to do 100% runs. SSoHPKC has a good and dry sense of humour. He also posts a lot of videos and tends to go through games very quickly. Also they`re both on YouTube.
