"If the Oscars were any whiter, they'd be transparent." So, wait. We're supposed to judge them on their skin color first, and then apparent talent second? Because there was this one time someone said "I have a dream ..... where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the...

I think he means it's the money printer for Nintendo right now. Certainly outperforming the Wii U.

A little late to the party that is this tread, but I think after skimming it nobody has brought this up: While many game journalism sites behave in a completely ethical manner, not all of them have a publicly viewable Editorial Ethics policy. I looked around the Escapist about sections for...

Is there a reason China has such arbitrary restrictions on what is displayed in their country? I mean, aside from the fact that it's china, but still. One would hope there's some logic behind the restrictions.

This level of precision is not possible with a controller. Mouses in any game that require precision (shooters, RPGs, etc) have the advantage of there being some kind of direct ratio between mouse movement and reticle movement. Controllers in such titles, instead of having a movement...

"what other comedy games, besides Portal, possess raw gameplay and challenge mechanics that could be interpreted as reflecting the context and tone of the humour?" Well, when the context and tone of the humor aren't established by the story but instead by the other elements such as Graphics...

That was an offensively bad failure to do even your most basic Wikipedia research. Oh, and I greatly disagree with the man's opinions as well, with the exception of where he put FF6. For me: 6 > 9=12 > 4 > 3 > 10~7 > 1 > 2 > 13 > 8 Never played 5, or tactics or whatever, so they aren't...

Just popping in to say that when I saw the graphic content warning I was like "Oh, I can handle this." Then when you described the video, having heard of it before I can assure you that no, I can't handle it. I skipped past it. If I hadn't, my January and perhaps February would have been ruined...

I read a quote online that went like this: "The other word I really hate seeing around is "art" and if games are that. That discussion gets very ugly very fast, and no one wins after having it." I decided to test this claim. I started a thread at another forum and the second reply to the...

After skimming this whole thread I only saw one mention of this video: And as a literal copy paste of the video's description, this might be why people hate EA: -This is for buying out some of the best game companies and turning them to mediocrity. -This is for having some of the worst...

Well in spite of people holding in their secret out of protest, I do have an embarassing story. Hell, this place offers a degree of anonymity, so why not? When I was 12 or so my famliy spent a day at a local amusement park. After a few hours of fun and so forth, time to go to the bathroom...

Nothing can be more low than snaking your way out of defending yourself by saying "umadbro?"

You are correct, sir! That was the exact game I thought of bringing up when I saw the thread title. My top 5: 1. Mechwarrior 2 2. Worms Armageddon 3. Morrowind 4. Deus Ex 5. (In my head I now want to cram every Valve game and every Blizzard game into this spot.) As far as Dorkly's...

The Ba'Gangsaw. I'm sure it's practical for chopping up things that get in your way.

Was going to say that. Made even more tragic by how negligiently Nintendo has treated that series. Also, the ending of Crisis Core FF7. Very well done.
