Yeah, because the two wars we were just in were SOOOO good for our economy. Wait no, that's why we just about had to default the other day... Shut up, Keynesians.

None of the above. I had it pre-ordered, called and cancelled mine yesterday because of the whole Bethesda suing Mojang thing. I know my $60 won't make any difference to them, but it's the principle of the matter.

I've been getting it all day too, I've been using Avast and the Escapist for much longer than just today though. It's not your PC, it may just be Avast freaking out, or it may well be an infection on the site. Also, no he won't, some convenient plot device will always interrupt it.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I see what you did there. Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that when I read the article.

This was bad and you should feel bad!

Honestly I prefer recaptcha, doubly so now with the knowledge that it serves a purpose. My issue has never been with the difficulty of captcha(seriously, if you can't read recaptcha text, get your eyes checked), but with the fact that they are deliberately handicapping the site. Honestly, if...

Ooooh I didn't know that. That's pretty neat. I think the trick to making them go away is to start a thread bitching about them. I haven't gotten one since I started this. Go forth, and complain as I complain! Lucky you. Woah slow down, too much creative thought and well reasoned...

Geddy Lee. *Shudder*

Wait what? Explain please, how does presenting me with text that is all blurry and weird make a book?

Here's the example of most of the ads I mentioned (I can't generate the little tiny over-video banner ad today). Based on my last two posts and the replies, I'm thinking that they decided against the ad-based captcha. Not that this thread was responsible, but just that someone stopped and...

My last 3 posts have required me to sit through the ad for the new Windows phone that supports Xbox Live, this one (but less British) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHNWL-WdzsM&feature=related. Halfway through it shows at the bottom of the ad what the captcha is (some shit like "play xbox live"...

Let me begin by saying that I understand the Escapist has to make money. Providing me with a Zero Punctuation, Unskippable, Feed Dump, and LRR ain't cheap, and I'm sympathetic to that. That said, the brand new ad based captcha system is going beyond that. We already deal with banner ads all...

I just stumbled across this and remembered your post: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/18.291183.11563655 I'll just leave this here.

I did use the American definition (and I am also an American). I went with that because your initial terminology (left wing) identifies the pro-egalitarian side of liberalism, which is American liberalism. European liberalism is not egalitarian, and (as you state) is very very pro-rights...

If it makes you feel any better, I get it! ...but I'm also an Ayn Rand fan. Who lol'd rather hard at the comic.
