    Dear Escapist, I F*cked up.

    It sounds pretty obvious she lied to you and manipulated you- so you owe her nothing. If you can't convince her to abort/adopt and you're certain it's yours....give her the money for an abortion, and then leave the town, or even the country. This whole thing has been due to her decisions- your...

    Take The Escapist Spaceship Quiz

    No Firefly/Serenity questions? For shame. Edit: Yes, the explanation makes sense, but still. Also, does that explanation imply that there *hasn't* been a Star Wars quiz?

    'Twas a Night of Great Gaming

    That was pretty good. I laughed, though somewhat bitterly when it came to Michael Atkinson. Still, very enjoyable. Merry Christmas to all the writers and readers of The Escapist, and all the best for the new year.

    Poll: pc gamers why the hell are so many of them such stuck up console game haters

    You need an option "I'm a gamer who hates stupid questions which are obviously inviting trolling and flaming"

    Man Steals 100 Copies of Modern Warfare 2

    Maybe he wasn't stealing them to play them, but simply to protect all those hapless n00bs planning on buying the game.

    GameStop Listing Hints at High Diablo III Price Tag

    Man, I'd kill for RRP's of $60 US right now. If you hadn't guessed, I live in Australia- and at current conversion rates, $60 US is about $65 Australian- which is $25 less than the Steam version of Modern Warfare 2 out here. :(

    Review: Torchlight

    Carnivorous Treasure Chest? Sounds like Rincewind's Luggage, that'd be awesome.

    A View From the Road: The Subscription Equation

    I paid $90 AUD (standard AAA release price in Aus, sadly) for CoD4, and would have clocked several hundred hours on it without a doubt. I think the value comes more from being a multiplayer oriented game than from being a MMORPG specifically.

    It's just you.

    most disappointing game sequels

    The hell do you think was wrong with Golden Sun: The Lost Age? Solid story, expanded soundtrack, better graphics than almost any other GBA game I can think of, and good puzzles and combat. It wasn't revolutionary, in terms of gameplay, but it was better in every way than GS1. All up, my personal...

    E3 Killjoy

    Yeah, really looking forward to Golden Sun 3. Though hoping that at least one of the antagonists from Golden Sun 1 and 2 makes a return.

    Poll: Are you muscular?

    Poll should probably have an "Athletic" option replacing soccer and runner. I do a fair amount of cycling and running, but I'm fairly thin- I certainly wouldn't describe myself as muscular.

    Poll: call of duty: 4 vs. call of duty world at war

    Not a fan of WaW, personally, and I have played both. Firstly- they're extremely similar games. WaW included a couple of new features, mainly vehicles, but nothing special. So it comes down to the setting to a large degree- and I am sick of playing through WWII in video games. Day of Defeat...
