    The Big Picture: Wunderpants - Wonder Woman's New Clothes

    I agree. Strictly from my perspective it looks hypocritical at best. It was a woman that even praised Bayonetta at a women in video games panel featured here, and yet she's being propped up as a problem with the industry with an even more recent Feminist Frequency video. It's all cherry picking...

    In the event of nuclear war, what would you do?

    I would obviously die, just not certain if quickly or slowly. As bad as people are to each other when things are well, when they go bad people get a lot worse. The police and governing bodies in Louisiana in the aftermath of Katrina and Rita, for example. I'm not a killer of men, not in...

    The More Things Change

    Except if you got better it was like standing up to those cabinets. Games like Street Fighter, Pit Fighter, Black Tiger, Bubble Bobble were skill based and rarely so cheap as to demand your cash. Beat em Ups were infamous for their quarter stealing cheapness, with few exceptions. Back in the day...

    Youtube Google+ Linking

    Not even fond of when youtube linked with google in the first place. This forced G+ stuff and the messy new comments system just suck. I don't even think it's about change, I think it's just really poorly executed. Worse though, at least for me is that they are pushing so hard for this...

    Escape to the Movies: Thor: The Dark World

    I laughed. Sorry it made you sick, but it's pretty funny to think you went from "Awesome" to "...gonna HURL". So very glad this movie was saved. Looking forward to seeing it.

    The Most Dangerous Woman in Videogames - Anita Sarkeesian

    I second this, and will add that these discussions are often not remotely fruitful or constructive either.

    Support the Veterans by Playing Black Ops 2

    I feel as if maybe there is some misplaced product placement on something that probably shouldn't have product placement. It seems exploitative, and it seems like it glorifies and simultaneously is a caricaturization of combat. If I believed helping a vet was their goal I'd feel better about it...

    Mad Catz Unveils M.O.J.O. Micro-Console, Coming in December

    Another one for the fad nobody asked for... except Ouya backers.

    Sexy Characters

    I really really love this article. I love that it's a well thought out and fair piece on the issue for a change. None of the usual shaming, or "men are pigs, women are victims" rhetoric. Bravo, Mr. Croshaw. Resonating most with me is the point about developers treating people a certain way...

    Share your writing, Escapist!

    I hope the formatting on this isn't borked. Yeah.... borked.

    Star Wars: Episode VII Will Balance CGI and Practical Effects

    It can still look too pristine, soulless, and so on. Sometimes the little details make a big difference, and with real objects, puppets, droids, and so on you can sense the reality in their presence so much more. I've always thought CGI should be a garnish and not a centerpiece, not because of...
