    Harrison Ford Will Return as Han Solo in Episode 7

    Script leak [Contains Spoilers!!!]: Film opens with a republic corvette approaching what appears to be a lightning storm in space but is really the deathstar coming out of a wormhole captained by a mandalorian named Nemo Fett. A young jedi anakin skywalker resentfully takes the helm of the...

    Poll: Gaming habits seeping in to the real world.

    I have definitely done the Jason Bourne thing after playing cover based shooters where I start seeing everyday things in terms of cover and lanes of fire. But more socially awkward is what I will hereby coin the 'elcor effect': After playing MMOs for a while I got in the habit of speaking my...

    Remedy: Next-Gen is a "Quantum Leap"

    Quoth the wiki, "It appears discontinuous as the electron "jumps" from one energy level to another in a few nanoseconds or less. It is also known as atomic transition, quantum jump, or quantum leap." In other words a quantum leap is a discontinuous change with no smooth transition from one...

    Do you like your name?

    My first name is fairly rare and I get a lot of compliments, though sometimes I wish I had a more common name if only because I feel my name is more memorable when I meet people and I am usually at a disadvantage trying to remember the bland names of you plebians ;P. My last name on the other...

    Find Your Perfect Career by Choosing Colors

    Best: Creator 2nd Best: Organizer My job: Design Engineer I agree this is essentially a horoscope, but whatever psycho-pseudo-science is behind this method seems like it is doing something with your color choices and from what I can tell it is not bad. Worst case scenario it is all...

    Dear Rockstar. What the hell?

    I understand your point but I could just as easily argue that by adding a component almost guaranteed to improve the market potential of the product a project lead could have requested and been granted a larger budget than would have been given to a single player only title. Conceivably, this...

    Dear Rockstar. What the hell?

    You are missing a very obvious third option. If a completely separate team of designers that only work multiplayer plied their craft independently from the single player designers it could be shoehorned into the final game without detracting in any way from the single player. If this separate...

    So, I was just spat at.

    If it makes you feel any better you didn't get spat at because you have red hair. Neither the color of your hair nor anything about you specifically had anything to do with the intentions of those boys. You got spat at because your accosters were looking to prank someone with little chance of...

    Those weird, unexplainable quirks you have. What are some of yours?

    A lot of oral fixations in this thread, I will add myself to the bunch- I also tend to chew things, pens, fingernails, game controllers... but I consider myself a fairly mild case since it is not a compulsion as much as a mere comfort. But my main quirk is how particular I am about clothing...

    Kickstarter Feature

    Just thought I would update for the 1 person that might care (hi mom!!) Republique ultimately was funded, I have no idea how they managed to get $250k in the last 5 days of the kickstarter and the cynic in me really wants to cry collusion but in any case I call this one a win for good...

    Sayings that annoy you

    I could do without some of the geek culture catchphrases like "butthurt" and "nerd rage" especially when used as ad hominem in an attempt to invalidate someone's argument: PersonA: "Mass Effect 3 sucks ballz, EA always ruins good IP!" PersonB: "Oh, quit nerd raging because yer butthurt over...

    Kickstarter Feature

    It's a good and fair question honestly; you have to know me and my obsession with high quality things, especially clothing. First though, the $40 goes to three (3) pairs of 100% supima cotton underwear made in my home country in a brand new factory that is, hopefully, going to support new jobs...

    Kickstarter Feature

    Yeh, the company behind Republique, Camoflaj, seems to have mismanaged their kickstarter campaign quite phenomenally, the rewards are overpriced and the required funding level is really high for their target market. Also, when they started apparently they intended to make an iOS exclusive game...

    Kickstarter Feature

    I'd like to request the Escapist dedicate a staff member, hire a new position, or at least have the Escapist community maintain a weekly feature or forum thread that scours Kickstarter looking for the coolest things in gaming projects in order to tell the rest of us how best to spend our well...

    Let's talk about old games as if they were brand new!

    So I got this game Zork but every time I enter the cave I get eaten by a Grue. Anyone got any cheat codes?
