    Great games to play without spoilers

    The best ones I can think of are: Inside, made by the same guys who did Limbo; Night in the Woods, a Kickstarted game; Little Nightmares (plus the three DLC), a Limbo-esque adventure; The Last Guardian, made by the people who did Shadow of the Colossus; Subnautica, a survival game on an...

    Can you guess a game from a line of dialogue? (thread game)

    I'm guessing that it's from a Sam & Max game? One of the more recent ones? Okay, here's my three quotes to guess: "Go legally brain-dead from lack of oxygen due to choking on my whole ass!!" "The flow of time is always cruel; its speed seems different for each person, but no one can...

    A Favorite Game/Book/Movie/Band's/Etc Worst Release?

    For me, it was On Her Majesty's Secret Service in the James Bond series. The film itself was fine and the ending has well done, but I didn't like George Lazenby. He just fell flat as James Bond compared to Sean Connery. It felt like shooting the second Thor film where they replaced Chris...

    What's the silliest premise you have heard for a horror movie/thriller?

    My first thought was every shark movie made in the 2000's except for The Shallows, and pretty much every animal hybrid movie ever made. But one time at the video store, I did see one horror film with a very stupid premise. I can't remember the title, but it concerns a woman who apparently has...

    The inspiration of your username

    My username comes from my profile picture. Some time ago, The Escapist posted an article about an artist, Christie Cox, who had drawn pictures for Doctor Who, depicting each of the Doctor's regenerations as various breeds of dog. Since my favorite Doctor has been David Tennant, I chose the...

    So what's the story behind YOUR avatar pic?

    It's the Tenth Doctor as a long-haired chihuahua wearing a pinstriped collar, red tie and spectacles. I downloaded Christie Cox's Dogtor Who pictures when she appeared in an Escapist article many months ago and David Tennant has been my favourite Doctor, so I chose that picture. My avatar's name...

    Poll: 2015, The end of The Escapist?

    Sure, the fact that The Escapist has lost some of its greatest contributors - Bob, Jim and Gav - might seem bad, but those guys are still putting their names out on the 'net in their own ways. Bob and Gav have their own YouTube accounts, and Jim's making a name for himself on Patreon (currently...

    Video Game Brain Transplant

    Okay, so to save my life, my brain must be transplanted into a video game character, but of the opposite sex. That seems weird. But, since I have a choice, I would go with the male protagonist from Saints Row 2. I only recently started playing Saints Row 2 at the end of last year, but I am...

    Well that was much better than expected.

    I just had that same experience today, although I had more of an idea of the backstory thanks to MovieBob.

    One Game You Wish You Played in 2013

    Has to be Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. I heard it was good and fun, but my brother either couldn't find it on sale on Steam or didn't want to get it. I ended up watching a Let's Play of it, and afterwards, I felt it deserved every praise it got.

    Games you wish could be remade

    Who remembers MediEvil? It's a game that came out on the Playstation in 1998, about a disgraced knight named Sir Daniel Fortesque who's brought back to life as a skeleton by an evil wizard trying to take over the land of Gallowmere and Fortesque must defeat the evil wizard to redeem himself as a...
