    Curiosity, are you excited?

    That landing was more awesome than awesomeness! I was crying. This may stand as proof that Aperture Science sent a couple of people to NASA. "Must you send a rover to Mars in a new way?" "Well, we can..."

    Looking for iPad RPGs

    Hi everyone, I have one pretty good western rpg on my iPad, but I'm looking to add more from both sides of the Pacific. At one point on the LRRCast, Kathleen recommended something but I cannot for the life of me remember which episode it was in, let alone which game. So yeah, JRPG or WRPG...

    The last RPG you played... that WASN'T Skyrim

    NetHack. It's an old-school dungeon crawler (Rogue-esque) and can be really easy to not RP in, but I have a blast trying to stick to the strict alignment rules, keep my pet alive, and just not die. My game of the year for two years running. If we're including browser-based, I'm also having a...

    What brought you to Escapist and what made you stay?

    Came for LRR, stay for LRR. I adored Extra Credits while they were here, but now PATV gets a portion of my internet time for them.

    Recommend books to a sci-fi lover?

    I do rather enjoy Vonnegut. Haven't hit Cat's Cradle yet, so maybe I'll pick that one up. I started reading Dune once and really wish now that I had, in fact, bought it.

    Recommend books to a sci-fi lover?

    Hi Escapists, I'm about to finish a degree and get a whoooooole lot more free time, and I want to fill it with games and books! Games, I have covered. I have a stash that's built up over a couple of all-nighter years. Books, on the other hand, I need a little help with. Stuff I love...

    Drinking Games: Pour-tall 2

    I believe it was Eddie Izzard (especially with the hand motion). That, and "In Soviet Russia, we all die" were my favorite lines this week.

    So how about Sony asking gamers to waive the right to sue?

    I found this article on the BBC website, and instantly thought of the Escapist community. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14948701 The first line of the article reads as follows: Sony is preparing to ban gamers from the PlayStation Network (PSN) unless they waive the right to...

    Sexist Words

    I thought "Stableboy" was the masculine equivalent of "Wench"...

    Sexist Words

    Interestingly enough, a lot of languages have genders for most nouns. French, Spanish, and Italian have masculine and feminine versions of most jobs and all countries; German and Greek also have a neuter gender. As a language teacher, I can totally get behind you calling a country "She"; after...

    You know you've been binging on a game too long when...

    ...If I've been playing too much Angry Birds, the yellow ones sound like they're shouting "Wolverines!"

    Do you think you are Attractive?

    I don't generally think so, but other people seem to think I'm pretty.

    Daily Drop: Paratroopers

    Loved it! Quite possibly the best one yet, and that includes the fish.

    Poll: How long should you wait before having sex? What is the point in waiting?

    I put down 6 months, but my normal answer would be wait for marriage. Sex is a very different kind of bond between two people, emotionally, physically, and chemically. Don't push it, and don't get pushed into it, because it ties you to your lover in new ways. There's an awesome documentary...
