    Germany Says "Nein" to Violent Game Ban

    Ich dachte, das Gesetz wär bei Euch schon längst verabschiedet worden? Hat mich aber gewundert, weil bei Euch war's ja bisher deutlich liberaler geregelt als bei uns. Oh yeah, I just called him a douche in german, had to be done... ;)

    A question of power

    To un-scare you, just watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=882iGcz5er8 (start at 6:30 to see what I mean) It's the old cl65 though...

    A question of power

    True, that was certainly part of it. I also got to drive the Lexus LS460 and it was basically the same experience, although I didn't have the same expectations in a car with "only" 380 HP and accordingly wasn't that disappointed. They didn't let me drive the really sporty cars like the Audi R8...

    Lol, petrolhead lingo and gamer lingo don't seem to mix well...

    A question of power

    Dear Escapists, I just stumbled upon a car-related thread in these holy forums. As a petrolhead I support that and want to contribute my own question: What was the most powerful car you ever drove (no matter if you owned it or just took a test drive) and how was your experience with it? I'm...

    Poll: To all car drivers - Automatic or Manual

    It depends. Sporty cars with automatic transmissions never worked for me, same goes for comfortable sedans or SUVs with a manual gearbox. But it also depends on the manufacturer. Mercedes for example offers one of the best automatic gearboxes ever, the 7-G-Tronic, but their manual gearboxes are...

    Poll: Your preferred moral choice?

    In my experience a "good" playstyle is the far more rewarding one. Sure, you have to listen to all those whiny help needing NPCs and do lengthy quests for them to shut up any time soon. But you also get adequate rewards (XP, Items, a warm feeling in your heart and shit). Playing evil mostly...

    Games that NEED sequals.

    Well, it's quite obsolete to wish for, but the Lands of Lore series. They originally planed more than five games but only released three. And apart from the two last games being rushed a bit, they were fantastic, but too many questions were left unanswered. Also, Wing Commander. It ended with...

    Bane of Your Existance Game?

    Morrowind and Oblivion. If it wasn't for these two games, I would have finished University a year or two earler... But I don't regret one second.

    worst game ever(of the modern day)

    I can't decide between Far Cry 2 and Wolfenstein. They felt like they both came out of an generic-ego-shooter-creator, just to be textured with sand and filled with respawning black people or textured with swastikas and filled with respawning germans. Same goes for Crysis, but with better...

    Who has the longest...

    Well, the fact that it says "spoiler text too long - please edit to reduce" makes a good point for you, but (I can see you word in Edit) unfortunatley, it's a chemical compound. Phobias are also good, but they are - like chemical names - in Old Greek. I'm searching for words in YOUR actual...

    Who has the longest...

    Escapists, as a German I'm used to long words. But today I stumbled upon "Rindfleischetikettierungsueberwachungsaufgabenuebertragungsgesetzparagraph". Yes, that's an actual german word, google it. It means: paragraph of the law about the transfer of control duties concerning the labelling of...

    Satisfy your thirst in "Fucking Hell"

    Glad I could help refuting the inacceptable accusation that germans would do something terrible like brewing light beer... Accuse us of what ever you want, but not that! ;)
