    Have you ever played through a game and completely missed a game play feature?

    Auto move in Fallout 3. I just held down W like a chump for lord knows how many hours. EDIT: As a gamer of a certain generation I found this comic particularly poignant http://xkcd.com/667/

    Poll: Is it rape if you have consensual sex with a willfully intoxicated person?

    In the UK you legally can't give consent if you are drunk. A person can be considered drunk after just one drink. So legally Yes. Not making any judgement on the above or saying yeah or nae. I think it entirely depends on the circumstance. Of course in the UK the excuses rapists...

    Why do Americans twist the shower head around after having their shower?

    Like Jakko says, just ask them if it bothers you that much. Sometimes people just have odd habits, maybe they are moving the head to clean the rest of the shower after use out of politeness. If this is the most annoying thing your flatmates are doing I suspect that you're onto a winner though...

    Dark Souls Review

    Excellent pauses at the start of this "Hi. I'm Justin Clouse and this is our review of Dark Souls... Crap..." For a moment I thought this was going to be more brutal than Yahtzee

    Video Game Manuals - Where Did They Go?

    or the Collector's edition. I loved the old manuals but I never really bothered with them to learn controls. It was, as many have mentioned above, the extra content. However either they add the cost of the manual onto all games or they charge twice the price to those that really care. I...

    Open letter to women about phone numbers

    Think you might have hit the nail on the head there Panto. I suspect (or at least hope) it's a very small percentage of men that won't take no for an answer but it may well be enough to make women want to dispense with unwanted attention in the least confrontational way possible. And having...

    recommend a web comic

    xkcd is fantastic and well worth checking out although most folks have already mentioned that. A Softer World is also well worth a look in although the humour tends to be a little more heavy handed. http://www.asofterworld.com/ I just realised both also have bonus rollover text. Not...

    How did you first end up at the escapist?

    ZP for me. Give that Yahtzee chap a raise already...

    Poll: DIY

    You can also take duct tape, wrap a short length of it around an old bank card and keep it in your wallet for emergencies. Yesterday I fixed our washing machine motor using £10 of spare parts rather than take the advise of a plumber and buy a new one plus I soldered my network cable back...

    Poll: Do Video Games cause violent behavior?

    This article (quoting a Harvard Medical School researcher) refers to concerns over games as "simple-minded". Good burn. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN0725760620080509 "The researchers also try to place video games in a larger context of popular culture. The anxiety many parents...

    Good move. Like my grandpoppy always told me "Always back away from someone threatening and arse rape"

    Poll: Do Video Games cause violent behavior?

    There was a study done a while back to measure violent response to video games which found violent video games caused no more aggression than violent films or any other type of media. They scanned people's brains whilst playing violent games and found that the parts of the brain normally...
