    I know I'd be super excited about this as well. We'll miss you a great deal Susan, and wish you the best of luck.

    Poll: Has fast food been tasting worse to everybody else?

    I actually hadn't had fast food for about 2 months recently, then I had a burger at McDonald's... it tasted like greasy cardboard. I still love McNuggets, though.

    Ubisoft CEO Thinks Gamers Are Ready For Always-On Consoles

    In fairness, I think it would be weirder if the Escapist staff chose not to report this story, given how relevant it is to the state of gaming today and what is says for future.

    I drink about once every 1-2 months, and find I prefer scotch or whiskey when I do.

    Your first job

    First paying job? working the window at a McDonald's. Worst job I've ever had, by far (my manager didn't even speak English).

    CNN discovers RapeLay

    Yeah, I wish people and news organizations in particular would stop making mountains out of molehills, especially where games are concerned. (this is HARDLY one of the worst things I've seen to come out of Japan, not even close)

    Poll: Favourite Mass Effect Alien

    Asari, I like the thought of a race of long-lived figures of wisdom. The fact that all those you meet in the game are quite intelligent, and most are fairly sensual as well, certainly doesn't hurt.

    Do people actually buy games based on Yahtzee's reviews?

    I'll listen to his opinions, he won't prevent me from buying a game I was planning to buy, but his endorsement can make me seriously look at a game I hadn't considered.

    Poll: Do you plan on having children?

    Yeah, my girlfriend and I have discussed it and we'd like 2 or 3 kids, we'd both like to get our advanced degrees first, though.

    Game Series that Need to Die...

    I'd like to see producers stop wring a few dollars out of consumers in the name of "nostalgia" with remakes, re-releases, and re-imaginings, and start making their money with inventive new ideas (although the sheer amount of money to be had means that won't happen for a long while)

    Poll: Your first choice of morality in games?

    Usually good first, then I'll play again as evil.
