    What is your gamer stereotype breaking hobby?

    Took up kayaking last year, and never regretted it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hISgoq8V_qo As for other non game-related hobbies, I guess playing a bit of guitar, screaming somewhat grungy into a microphone from time to time, and going hiking either in the wilderness - or from pub to...

    In your opinion, what's the most overrated video game ever?

    Pong... It really isn`t all that.

    Unexpected Sad Moments in Games

    Dragon Age II - the serial killer / Dr. Frankenstein - quest (for lack of a better word). That is due to personal reasons, but it did make me turn off the game and go for a walk and clear my head before I could return to the game. Suikoden: Gremios sacrifice. Yeah, you can revive him, but it...

    Can only expert players put there footage online?

    Having somewhat recently started recording, editing and uploading gameplay/commentaries/live-comms myself, I was real hesitant about it at first. Simply because there was something that said that maybe a troll will come along, or someone will have a negative opinion about the gameplay, game of...

    I don't get the whole "Modern warfare (and related games) will turn your kids into terrorists thing

    People blame something they don`t understand for something that will never be understood. It`s much simpler to say "well, those darn violent games made him do it" instead of coming to the slightly horrifying reality that some people have gone off the rails in such a matter that they`d just as...

    Zero Punctuation: Brink

    I guess first off I`m violently happy I`m not a TF-fan. Then again, never played the thing so who`s to say I wouldn`t have loved the game to death. BUT, being a big fan of BC2 - no - that does not mean I hate CoD! -(just a few of the players)- I can see where he`s going with the whole...

    So Escapist users, how did you discover your favourite band?

    Started dabbling in music in my teens, and a friend from school came along with the "Facelift"-album by Alice in Chains, simply stating that I would probably like it. He was absolutely right. Other than that, all the music I still listen to was discovered through friends, browsing the...

    What instruments do you play

    Guitar, trumpet, bass and vocals. Oh, and I shake a mean rhythm egg if the drummer needs some backup....

    Poll: Your favourite curse word. (No kids or easily offended people).

    Being norwegian, I rarely use english cursewords. That being said, I tend to string a bunch of them together - so we end up with what sounds more like a satanical incantation from a cocainehyped porndirector than anything else. Basically a few synonyms of carefully chosen parts of the human...

    How do you handle problems? Be honest!

    Depends on the problem. Workrelated: Step up, do the effin job and be done with it. Go home, have beer and be happy. Economic: Pay those bills, but sometimes forget it - and pay even more later....and try to learn the lesson. Amorous: I`m not good enough for her? OK, why in the name of shaven...

    An Interesting Fact About Your Country

    As a nation proud of their skijumpers and downhill-skiers, it was only logical that Norway actually outlawed skateboards (the ban was lifted in `89) due to fear of injuries.

    Escape to the Movies: Troll Hunter

    Yeah, the actors are a bit on the stiff side, but hey - at least their dialogue isn`t in the usual overly dramatic "I shall order a coffee like I was born in the days of Ibsen" when the film takes place in the 21st century. I think that`s my main problem with a lot of norwegian films really...

    Stupid things people judge you on?

    I sometimes listen to black metal, ergo I`m a satanist (people tend to forget I sang an old norwegian lullaby a capella over my mothers coffin at her funeral, and also have a broader cd-collection than those whining about the BM-scene) I have a beard and tattoos, ergo I`m a nogood...

    Is roleplay sex okay?

    Kinda answered your own question there. IF the dude gets hurt over it, it`s not worth it. The underlining question you`re asking is: Should I start treating games and reality differently? To which the answer is a definitive "yes".

    If you only had three more weeks to live...

    Aaaaah, good old Bill teaching us lesser mortals the true priorities in life. (Part Troll isn`t it?) But yeah - he does have a point when he talks about "stuff to do before you die" vs "stuff to do while you live your life".
