Chess will always be my favourite board game. There is just something majestic and pure about it, something no other board game has captured for me. It's also the perfect example of 'easy to learn, (very) difficult to master'.

Typical Nintendo again. Shitting on their fans every opportunity they get. One of these days all the love and goodwill they have garnered over the years will come crashing down and they will have no-one but themselves to blame.

I have been a very satisfied owner of a MSI GTX 970 for over six months now. It performs amazingly well for its price and aside from it getting a bit noisy when under stress I don't have any complaints. If I'd known about the memory handicap I would've probably still bought it for a similar...

It's all they have because they are just an idiological soap box spouting propaganda unsupported by any actual evidence. I'm glad they are not on the Escapist anymore.

Fully agree. This film has been a critic's darling even before it was released. It's 2,5 hours of boring, badly written and (mostly) poorly acted dialogue. The movie has nothing going for it besides its gimmick, and the movie didn't even really utilized it. I was glad to see it didn't win the...

I'm really liking this hire and looking forward to her content here. This site has really come around, trimmed the fat and is now working out to develop its potentially awesome entertainment chops.

Are we talking the ending for ME3 pre-DLC? I have no lost for Anita Sarkeesian but at least I don't have to look at her drivel on YT. The ME3 ending retroactively tained my sizable investement in ME, the ganes and its universe. I'll probably let the whirlpool take them both though because I'm...

Wait, I'm really confused. Santorum obviously should be higher on the list.

I can never bring myself to watch an entire episode of EC in one sitting. They're either going on and stating extremely obvious things like they've just invented the most brilliant thing ever, or they're banging on pretentiously about their own pet theories that don't hold any water whatsoever...

I learned of yards when I saw an American Football game on tv once (measuring progress on the field in yards is very important in that game). I just assumed it was like an American word for meter. Few months ago I found out it's not even that, it's more like 91,5 cm. And it's all crazy values...

Good point about the save system. I fully applaud save anywhere games and applaud them wherever they go, but without auto save to serve as backup I just find myself paranoidly saving every few minutes. Wouldn't be so bad if it had quicksave but, well, it doesn't. I also don't get the frequent...

Please America, just stop this imperial nonsense and switch to metric already, it'll be better for everyone. These strange measurements from the fantasy realm of Whackistan always throw me off potentially nice articles like this. It could also be that Diablo has stopped interesting me a long...

This especially, he was at least pretty knowledgeable on movies and comics. Gaming, however, he knew next to nothing about and yet seemed to want to speak up about. I read parts of his book on SMB 3 and it's not at all compelling or well-written, nor is most of it even actually about Mario...

Not shedding a tear to be honest. He's been going increasingly off the rails for the past months and I have been avoiding his material here. His video's and column were pretentious, badly written, poorly produced and frankly often short-sighted, the interesting insights from his older reviews...
