    Game of Thrones Gets a Gorgeous Upgrade in these Japanese Manga Covers

    As someone already mentioned in these comments, that is a drawing of him based off his description in the books. He isn't a handsome dwarf like in the show; he is more akin to a lab experiment gone wrong. different colored eyes, barely any hair, and the wound he got in the Battle of the...

    New Batman Arkham Knight Trailer Teases Team Combat

    As long as it is smooth as the combat has been in the other games then this is a good addition. Also, nice touch getting Azrael back for the prophecy business, too much to ask that we get the totally 90s blue and yellow bat costume he wore when he was batman? Calling Jason Todd as Arkham...

    Check Out Batman v Superman's First Teaser Trailer

    My sentiments exactly. As for the trailer itself, I like the setup they are doing for the post controversial Man of steel ending. And the teaser was well done, till the "Tell me, do you bleed?" line which was pretty dumb. That said, I was fooled by the Man of Steel trailers, so I will hold onto...

    Miles Morales, Ms. Marvel Will Join All-New, All-Different Avengers

    More is less it is stretching, or embigenning as I remember the character wryly saying as a way to describe her power. That said, she can also make herself smaller too, not quite Ant-man size but close. She also seems to have the ability to completely change her outward appearance as she has, at...

    Here's the Classes and Specializations in the D&D Player's Handbook

    Basically, everything the good sir who already quoted said is very true. I just wished to add that there are feats, but not as many of them, and you have to choose whether to take a feat or upgrade ability scores. This seems to be more or less balanced by the increase in power that feats have...

    4 Marvel Universe Continuity Gags We Actually Want to See

    I can't help but think that the Squadron Supreme would start a lawsuit (one that would probably go nowhere, but a lawsuit), and spark a childish in move reply from DC. Just not sure if going back to childish pokes at other studios movies would be funny or sad. Though I gotta say I am a fan of...

    Hearthstone Beginner's Guide - Beating Murlocs and Rush Decks

    2 of my favorite cards to at least slow down aggro. Sunfury Protector and Defender of Argus, both give other minions taunt making it very effective at slowing things down. Also really helpful if you are playing a minion creator class like the shaman or paly for the situations where you don't...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Full Length Trailer Is Hilarious and Familiar

    Well considering Gamora's ties to Thanos (the big villain teased in the Avengers movie), I will hope she will have plenty of reason to be on the team somewhere down the line at least. Hell, Thanos is basically the big bad nemesis of the Guardians so she fits in just fine in the comics. So waylay...

    Giant Bomb's Ryan Davis Is Gone

    As a person that frequents Giant Bomb (as much, if not more so than here), I actually find myself quite saddened at the loss. Not only was the guy a pretty good game journalist, but he was fun and gave Giantbomb a really good portion of its personality on Quick Looks, Bombcasts, and pretty much...

    Escapist Podcast: Bonus: The BioShock Infinite Podcat!

    Really enjoyed the podcast and thank you for doing one. While I will save whatever disagreements I had you what you guys have said; I will say that I really wish you guys touched on a theme that resonated for me throughout the game was the cyclical nature of the game and how (as the title...

    Critical Miss: Top Five Games of 2012 #5

    Yeah, I thought that about the game for a couple of bits, especially in the White Phosphorous bit. But in hindsight I felt it worked quite well. Not giving you a choice in that particular area worked because it giving the choice of shooting the White Phosphorous or not would kind of ruin the...

    Most Boring Opinions in Geek Culture - Part II

    Well I suppose I should say welcome to the escapist. Not sure if you are a "long time reader first time writer" or whatever, but I will guess that you have been a long time hater of Moviebob. I do not share your opinion on him apparently, but your welcome to yours. Just wanted to say hi since...

    Advice From A Fanboy: Justice League

    I can understand your hate of Superman, I pretty much had it too up until I read All-Star Superman. But if you are up for it I would suggest you give Red Son a shot. It is a very interesting take on the character and you don't need too too much knowledge of Superman to get into it. It requires...

    manly tears

    I think the only time I have ever actually cried in a video game would be recently with the Walking Dead, but that is mostly because Clementine became my emotional Kryptonite over the months of waiting and playing the episodes. That and I really like Lee, as well. There are a few Visual Novels I...

    The Five games that define you as a gamer

    Baldur's Gate 2: My quintessential RPG experience, I go back and play it all the through every other year and still find new ways of doing things or little secrets I missed. I have spent so much time on this game, but still not as much as... World of Warcraft: God this game was a time sink...
