Yay, game development quirks. Look, I know it's frustrating, but the alternative could be much worse - imagine how shoddy a 'jump' function would be in games like Dragon Age. However, I completely agree when this happens to FPS games: I spend most of the first half of Bulletstorm thinking 'The...

I'd say that's rather a large thing, considering the amount of wailing fanboys it involves. Hmm. I'm always a little annoyed when people greet me with 'bro'. Do I look like your relation? Do you think I indulge in your street-culture? No.

I think there's still a lot going against it. - It might not work. - It has limited power. - If it breaks, he'll need more surgery. - The wrist needs to be manually rotated. - It won't have the responsiveness of a real hand. But you know what? You can forget all that, because he...

I cannot believe this. Can you actually make humour - proper humour - that does not, somewhere, offend somebody? And why is it that one family, and one orphan, are upset over a few lines of dialogue in a freaking video game? What on earth is going to happen if he sends her to school? Oh, so I...

Sorry. Sorry. Can we please have an end to these threads? So you didn't like a game that was supposed to be good. Big deal - that's your opinion. It doesn't mean you have to tell everybody just because they don't think the same. Hey, guys! I don't like coffee! Aren't you amazed? Am I not so...

a) People are not, unlike a great deal of gaming forums, assholes. They are capable of generating intelligent responses and reasonable debate. They're funny, too. b) It's attached to the magazine, so you get threads about all the videos and articles c) The threads are listed on the side...

Oh gods... I just had a Discworld flashback. After I'd stopped laughing, I mean. So I guess all the plates have expanded as well? Or has water spontaneously sprung forth from the widening gaps they left?

Awww... that's sweet <3 No, but seriously. Compared to 80% of the usable internet, the Escapist is like a sequestered reef in a very large, murky sea. Nice to find intelligent people in a forum. EDIT: I have a yoghurt pot and a coffee cup in front of me. I just tried to drink the yoghurt.

Honestly? ANYTHING. I mean, hell, it'd be worth it.

One wonders if it'll actually make a clod of difference. Yes, he is (was?) their leader; Do you think that his dying will really stop terrorism? Do you think conflict in the Middle East is just going to vanish overnight? No, not really. This is a boost to morale and perhaps a minor disruption...

One word: Absolutely. Honestly, it will only last you one day, but ye gods - what a day! It is a gaming experience that is worth every cent of your money.

I think everybody should play at least one text-based game. You don't have to like it or even finish it, just experience it. Same goes for point-and-click adventuring. Aside from that... Deus Ex. And Minecraft.

I got sick of the heavy-handed green message around halfway through the movie, and after that I got even more tired of the "Ooh, you're destroying our sacred territory, what does this remind you of, nudge nudge." writing. Despite that, I wasn't really going for either side - I mean, yes, the...
