Unskippable has concluded, and apparently NRA is concluding soon according to a tweet from Jim Sterling on the 26th of March. (Though there are rumours the NRA guys are making a new series, maybe? I dunno.) 8 bit philosophy and Game Theory aren't produced by The Escapist as far as I know...

I cancelled my publisher's club membership yesterday when I heard about Bob leaving. I signed up originally to support content I loved to watch but The Escapist is not the community nor the content hub it was when I first came to love it. It is true that Zero Punctuation was one of the reasons I...

This and the latest ep of Uncivil War are not loading for me. Has anyone reported to the site's tech support yet or shall I?

As you said, everyone's experience is different, and as such I honestly don't mean any offence or condescension when I say this, (and I hope you don't take it as such because you seem to be a pretty cool/intelligent person) but that runs counter to the lived experience of a lot of people, myself...

I'm going to come out and say it then. I think that the problem with Geek Culture, such as it is, is not that there are douchebags in it, but that it fosters douchebag behaviour. I've never been one to criticise a culture simply because there are bad people in it. I would never get any rest that...

I make no apologies for in addition to trying to solve problems, continuing to point them out until they're solved so people don't feel free to sweep them under the rug. If people realise that they're actually going to have to keep dealing with the issue until it is solved, and they're sick of...

Can I just say I'm sick of people who are part of subcultures that have highly visible problematic elements in their ranks just saying "Oh well they're not 'Real' X" and then assuming the problem is solved by neatly cleaving the problematic areas of your subculture away? Yes I will admit that...

There's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it explanatory line of dialogue where Tom Baker explains that he's not the fourth, but a future incarnation who has chosen to wear an old face. I can't remember the exact quote, but it goes something like and later Baker!Doctor refers to being 11 in the...

Random aside not related to anything: Not meaning this in an overly frustrated tone, just as a suggestion on how to improve. (If Bob reads this) can you make sure in future if you put a link in your videos you either include that link in the description or use a URL shortener service like bit.ly...

COD pun intended?

Thanks man! :D I'm sitting in my room with the fan on full blast and the internet as my only source of entertainment because it's 10:00 in the morning in the middle of summer and it's 42 degrees C outside. -_- Stupid weather. It's not being presented as a permanent solution though. It's...

*sigh* Firstly, it's hard to get the exact emotional context of something across correctly in a text only medium. I, for example, don't know if you're being sincere or disingenuous in accusing me of getting hostile, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the former. If you took...

There's nothing from stopping ManU and Mancity people from both supporting the *England* team. The analogy stands. Actually it's reinforced by your link to that article. If Man City supporters are harassed and threatened with violence by a small, but vocal and dangerous subset of ManU...

No... where did I say that? My utopia/Olympics is the hypothetical future place where both groups can share a space together without one group feeling marginalised/threatened/ostracised. My point is that we're not there yet, and in the interim we're making our own sandbox to play in occasionally...

No, the analogy holds. In my analogy straight gamers and gay gamers aren't the fans. They're the players. (see what I did there? A-hyuck...) They're both Football players (Gamers) and they're both into sports (pop-culture) and within these fields they play matches (go to cons) but sometimes...
