    Games everyone but you hates.

    Dragon Age 2. I was shocked when I saw it was on a lot of peoples' "Worst games of 2011", when it is clearly on my "Best games of 2011." I actually liked it a measure more than the original Dragon Age (better story, UI, gameplay, and side characters; worse area variety, smaller world, and cant...

    Poll: Sexism and your gender

    As a male gamer, I think it's ridiculous to say that sexism isn't a problem in games sometimes. I think the sexist card may be pulled out a few too many times, but it's really really hard to say that it doesn't exist or isn't a problem when I can scroll over to several RPGs on my desktop, and...

    Ruin-A-Wish Foundation.

    Granted, but you get shot when you unexpectedly pop up during a bank robbery. I wish or a list with all the best excuses in the world to convince anyone that I am totally not guilty of or responsible for anything evil I might have done over the past... hrmmm... gonna need at least 20 years.

    Book Recommendations? You know the things with words...

    Thank Aldur that someone mentioned these. Superbly written fantasy stories with the best mix of humor and seriousness I've ever seen in a series. Also see if you can dig up the Elinuim and the Tamuli from the same, even though they are quite similar in theme and structure to the first set, so...

    What canceled Escapist content do you miss the most?

    Definately Extra Credits. Never seen a show on any site that was so insightful and intellegent about games and game culture (Apologies, Moviebob, but the EC team is my favorite). D&A was fun as well.

    The most bullcrap boss/es.

    Dullahan, that optional boos form Golden Sun: the Lost Age. I mean, the three games' last bosses were exercises in "I've used HOW many potions?!?", but eminently beatable if you grind it out a few levels and pick up the best gear, with the fights just taking forever. Dullahan, on the other...

    Rate the games in your favorite game series

    First, Call of Duty Games (that I've played). And no, I dont have CoD: MW3 yet, so no opinion there. 1: CoD 4: Modern Warfare 2: CoD 6: Modern Warfare 2 3: CoD 7: Black Ops 4: CoD 2 5: CoD 5: World at War And now all the games I've played from Bioware, as it seems a tad silly to rank...

    D n D magical creature advice

    Even if you aren't planning to use a premade creature, they're good to look at both for inspiration and how to keep things balanced in combat. Spells such as shapechanging and teleport have intersting rules that various monsters in the monster manual simplify to make them fun, simple, and/or...

    Overwhelmed by Oblivion

    If you don't know where to go next, make a cycle of the towns. If you like it, stick around and find a few side quests. If not, head to the next town. Another good option is to choose a guild quest line. One of the best things about Oblivion is that, since enemy difficulties all scale, you...
