    Diplomacy

    This guy seems pretty awesome. Is he any better than the Republic droid, who I keep sending on missions in the hopes that he will be destroyed in a fighting tournament or lost forever in the barren tundra of an ice world? The voice they decided on for him, along with his damn lines makes me...

    WARNING! this is a real threat to basic human freedoms!

    He physically can't. The Senate overrides this naturally. All there needs to be is 2/3 consensus to push a vetoed bill into law.

    The "Screaming Children on Mics" Argument

    Children are horrible. And lots of things should carry meaning. For example, elections should be fair and not tampered with in the Middle East. However shit happens. I doubt most parents "have the time" to research a game for their child, let alone know what the E.S.R.B. means, let alone stands...

    The "Screaming Children on Mics" Argument

    The ratings are in place but that doesn't stop mommy from getting her child a game, especially considering how soft an M BlOps generally is. There are some disturbing moments but I don't think that most kids are in it for the story. Besides that point in other countries besides the United States...

    The "Screaming Children on Mics" Argument

    For a lot of reasons. First and foremost you have to listen before the mute button can even be pressed. And honestly I don't want to hear how much of a f** I am from a person who can't purchase the game legally (at least in my country). That being said BlOps on the computer is a lot more...

    Hey Escapist, care to warn us about the hack?

    We did directly address users. Sorry if you happened to not read the ten trillion threads that spawned in the weeks following the "attack". Absolutely nothing happened. Nothing was compromised. If you have a complaint, either PM me or send in a ticket like everyone else. Posting this here is...

    Games you admit playing on easy.

    The original Dragon Age, Starcraft, F.E.A.R. the first playthrough, and Rainbow Six Vegas 1&2. I also lowered the difficulty of Bioshock 2 because I felt I wasn't actually a Big Daddy when my shotgun did not kill people from two feet away.

    Why I think eating Meat is A-ok

    Agreed. And for all you vegetarians turning your cats vegetarian (yes I know you have a cat, it's a pre-requisite to being vegetarian yourself) the technical term for this process is starving the fucker. Keep that in mind. Cats want to barf when they eat veggies. They are natural meat-eaters. So...

    5 reasons life actually does get better (and the world isnt that bad)

    Its this generation. We've been taught that the world is shit because we pollute the air and eat too much food and overstress the Earth, and don't donate enough to various causes. We are the recipients of our parent's legacy, the post 9-11, Al Gore world and for better or worse, this is what we...

    The Best Video Game Ending

    Probably the ending to Republic Commando. It has me craving a sequel so much.

    What's the most exotic meat you've eaten?

    Tuna literally straight out of the ocean. Best damn sushimi I ever caught.

    Those lulz boat losers started early today

    Sir do you even know how to hack? Much less do yo want to get the Escapist, which I'm sure would not like this one bit, in trouble for that kind of action? Yes they brought down the website. Boohoo. Anyone can DDoS a site to death, well any other site except something like google or Netflix...

    Hey Escapist, care to warn us about the hack?

    DDoS stands for distributed denial of service, and is an attack on a server where multiple servers send thousands of requests for a web page, in this case the home page, in an attempt to either slow or crash the server. I overreacted because Lulzsec did it, and thought that they would distribute...
