    Are we out of game ideas?

    If you're desperate for some silly, wacky, and beautifully crappy original ideas, I'd recommend checking out www.freeindiegam.es [http://www.freeindiegam.es/] every couple of days. There's always interesting stuff on there.

    Poll: Would you consider yourself a regular here on the escapist?

    No and no. I am a regular lurker, though. Cookies are alright, but I think you could do better as far as world-dominating pastries. Tactical doughnut strikes are both deadly and delicious.

    Your favorite non-first party Nintendo 64 game?

    3 words. Beetle. Adventure. Racing. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s5DI4xmSG0] Man, I cannot even tell you the amount of hours I sunk into this game as a little tyke. The jazzy, snazzy music that kept you cool when the racing got hot, the crazy, insane courses that took you all...

    I was so excited when Chris Metzen showed up, and then I realized what he was going to announce.

    Death By Boring

    This is a good point and is actually why I'm generally bored by/avoid almost all-things Batman related. I know "the backstory" is only a small fragment and isn't really why anyone really watches/reads Batman. That said, it's always bothered me that Batman is essentially about an incredibly...

    New Zealand Mint Issues $2 Transformers Coins

    I thought something was fishy with this story. I can't imagine a country like New Zealand actually using official legal currency as advertising space. New Zealand Mint [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Mint] is a private company that specializes in manufacturing commemorative coins...

    WGA Announces Videogame Writing Award Nominees

    These two rules seem exclusionary to indies (who may choose to post their work independently online) and to Valve, who I think does a much better job than anyone else in the world with their credits - a list of names of everyone who participated on the project. I don't know if you've gotten...

    The Big Picture: Is Django Racist?

    *sighs* Here we go again. I'm sure you didn't mean it like that, another bad taste in my mouth, etc, etc. I've heard the viewpoint (or had it implied) too often that American African slavery is the original sin of America and is the worst thing we've done in our history of doing bad...

    Escape to the Movies: Django Unchained

    I know this is a bit old and there's probably nobody who will ever read this, but... "..aiming to rip the scab off of American history's original sin." (4:25-4:27) Bob, you probably didn't put too much thought into this statement, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth. The genocide of...

    AJAB

    Well said. The news sites I check in on has greatly diminished over the past years specifically because of this.

    Favorite last words (real or fictional) - beware potential spoilers

    "So, I'm to die in battle, am I? I regret nothing! Ha ha ha...ha ha..." - Wallace from Fire Emblem, if he's defeated in battle after Chapter 10.

    LoadingReadyRun: Voluntourism

    One of the best LRRs. Hilarious and true. Also, the timing of this video seems very suspect. But I'll chalk this one up to coincidence... For now...

    A 'Cloverfield' game

    I can see it now... It'd be like Pokémon Snap, but with a giant monster tearing through New York. ...BRILLIANT

    Space fleet? What about mechs? Pretty please? <spoiler=Because>http://i51.tinypic.com/15i2gx3.jpg...this movie would be glorious.

    Nintendo Breaks Out the Giant Snakes for New Skyward Sword Trailer

    Is it just me, or does something about both Link and Zelda's noses seem a bit off? I dunno, it's like when the camera views them at a certain angle, their noses go all Pinocchio.
