    Real Life Rapture Doesnt Need 'Loser Building Codes!'

    A major problem with this that I can see is the temptation to be literally an offshore platform that would hold accounts or incorporations beyond local laws, mitigating taxes. Such an action could result in sanctions, or at least, a terrible result for intellectual property. This among many...

    Do drugs make anyone else sick?

    Cigarettes used to make me queasy, but I'm simply repulsed by the smell these days, rather than disgusted by them. Assuming you're not an adult (and I'm sorry if I make an ass of U and ME), it might be one of those things you either grow up to not have a problem with or just accept slightly more.

    LulzSec hacked by Team Posion

    Although I'm happy for LulzSec for getting it's dues, the horribly schadenfreude-laden side of me really wants someone to hack the shit out of their attackers, just so I can eventually say "Looks like Team Poison's blasting off agaaaaaaaaaaain!!" ...God I'm pathetic. Someone get me some...

    Poll: People on the escapist with the same first name as you.

    Nikko. Find another male non-Asian Nikko. I dare you.

    Gamer Geeks Pick Up Girls With StarCraft Lingo

    Good for them for trying a challenge! I haven't found picking up girls particularly difficult as of late so I'll probably do well to add a little spice to the routine. Incidentally I once did date a South Korean girl. She really complained to me one day that she was feeling down because she...

    Hey Escapist, what are your favorite Internet time-wasters?

    I wish I could replay my old games but I already play them to DEATH. Seriously I've played games like KOTOR and Freelancer so many times I could do it with my eyes closed. About youtube though...are there any good channels or performers? I mean funny nutshots will only last so long, and I'm...

    Hey Escapist, what are your favorite Internet time-wasters?

    So with the summer vacation now in full swing, and having no money to buy games and watched all the good stuff on The Escapist, I'm massively bored with nothing but the vast expanse of the Internet to keep me entertained. Question is, where do I go? Or rather, where do you all tend to go to...

    Poll: The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Vampires and werewolves: Yay or Nay?

    I mean, it's kind of worth looking at from your perspective, but does it really matter in a perpetually first-person game what you look at? Every Bethesda game I've played I'd just go default and enjoy the game...

    More Than 100 Developers Left Out of L.A. Noire's Credits

    Seriously? Geez, the LA Noire credits were at least half a lunch break. I suppose the only plausible argument was that Sisyphus himself couldn't stand programming the credit sequence anymore and they just got the short end of the stick.

    Improbable answers to world problems

    Just read Superfreakonomics. Seriously, igniting an entire ocean of oil to create cloud coverage that would prevent the sun from getting to the Earth and preventing global warming? Didn't those guys watch The Matrix?

    What Were You Doing When The World 'Was Going To End'?

    Eating a sandwich with my girlfriend at a bakery in the city.

    So you wake up, and you're in Batle Royal.

    Realistically: FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU As I'd like to imagine I could pull it off: Convince some of the most heavily armed fellows that I'm an expert at barbecue from the American deep south and vow to use my spatula of doom to cook everyone a fantastic meal if they join my...

    Extra Punctuation: Getting Innovation Wrong

    I think that it's both quite clear and alarmingly unmentioned that consoles, like most of the developed computer world with it, are moving towards the information infrastructure. I think the next console to be built needn't have that much greater graphic potential than the 360/PS3, but rather...

    Apple Approves Blatant Mario Rip-Off for App Store

    Apple shouldn't refuse the game on copyright means. Only when the creators raise an issue should Apple intervene. Otherwise Apple would be interfering with net neutrality, something I think all of us Escapist users know a decent amount about given the recent GeoHot scandal.

    What does your car say about you?

    I drive a Volvo, which psychologically indicates that my parents gave me their car.
