    Escapist Expo: The Escapist Q&A ? Day 1

    I didn't know either. After a little investigation, it appears that he was talking about retsuprae [http://www.youtube.com/user/retsupurae].

    Weirdest reason for not playing a game

    I am completely put off by the standard medieval fantasy setting and character types. Fortunately, a huge portion of games with such things are RPGs, which means I wouldn't have played them anyway.

    Favorite Speed Runs

    Scourge Done Slick was the best one I saw back in the day, but I haven't really kept an eye out for good ones since.

    RPG purists.

    I think that simplifies the definition too much. Is Infamous an RPG because you're playing the role of Cole McGrath? Is Halo an RPG because you're playing the role of Master Chief? The role needs to be chosen by the player, otherwise you get a definition which includes Infamous and Halo and...

    Is PC gaming really worth it?

    Probably because of the long-running association of console gaming with playing from the couch. The couch is not at all mouse/keyboard friendly.

    Steam and its DRM

    If it's completely inactive, it'll get paged out and will take zero physical RAM and zero CPU time.

    Need For Speed Hot Pursuit!

    EA annoyed the piss out of me twice with this demo: First, by playing a long unskippable trailer prior to letting me play the demo, and second by locking out one of the two events because I have no friends who have played the demo. I'm someone who could not care less about online features and...

    Take your favorite game - and RIP IT TO SHREDS!

    The game I've played the most over the last six months is MLB 10: The Show for the PS3, in particular the role-playing "Road To The Show" mode. 1. Infielders commit errors at random, even when the ball is played perfectly, i.e. the fielder squares up to the ball, has plenty of time to...

    Sounds good, unless... Nope, they still haven't dropped Securom from it. No sale.

    Genres you can't stand

    Sure you can. It's called paintball. Of course there are differences between FPS games and paintball, but to say there's no difference between playing, say, MLB 10: The Show and playing in real life is outright ignorant. Just go to a park and play soccer? It'd need to not be raining...

    Most hated type of fan

    The Parrots. You know, the ones who repeat lines from their favourites completely devoid of context and think that it makes them cool and/or funny. Portal fans have held this crown for the last while after taking it away from Chappelle fans parrotting the Rick James skit.

    Great Features Rarely Implemented

    No, Saints Row 2 did it earlier. I don't know if it was first, though.

    Games you have given up on and why?

    Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. I just get so annoyed and frustrated by the horribly tedious combat.
