Like many, I think this is a great idea and a natural evolution of (part of) what has made the Escapist so great. I've really enjoyed some of the content I would not have otherwise thought to look for or seek out. Little curious about how these categories will turn out (I get why comics and...

Great article! I felt most of the same highs and lows of the convention, but definitely came away happy and already looking forward to next year. Visiting you guys at the Escapist booth was one of my personal highlights, and I'm glad to see you guys felt the same way (I think I had a small...

I thought the same thing. I imagine something like how Mass Effect 2 had you go into the terminus systems, but doing that for the main character as a whole-- someone a little more willing to bend (break) the rules than even renegade shepard, or at least someone whose main mission isn't saving...

Sorry I'm late to respond, but ha, glad I make sense! Yeah, the first time I realized the critics/consumers divide was a while back when MovieBob was critiquing some movie for being very uninspiring and uncreative. It was a movie I had actually seen before seeing his review, and I remember...

I know I'm a little late to respond, but.. ...yeah, that totally hits the spot. Meanwhile the dopey otter became an awesome sea lion thing. Heck, how cool is torterra, to grow to eventually get a whole tree on its back?! Poor guys just didn't catch a break..

Interesting read. That Card Hunter game looks really interesting - I hope the Escapist covers this game when it comes out. I have a feeling that this burnout is much easier for the media to feel, getting much more exposure to these games (at expos, with free copies) than most consumers. I...

Would this be the right time to complain that Snivy has limbs but Serperior doesn't? At the very least, I think Serperior could have had a better design.

Great article again. I generally agree with your sentiments - he should (and almost has an obligation to) patch this, the only exception maybe being if doing so literally puts him out of business. But I'll flesh out my thoughts by quoting someone and contributing to the conversation. This is...

I have to admit, I was worried by the way your post started with the whole "I haven't been following the game too much" line, because I was worried this was going to turn into a litany of ignorance. So kudos on avoiding that with a well thought out question. My response: I think, as you seem...

I couldn't agree more with this article. I definitely had fun playing the multiplayer mode when ME3 came out, and in the beginning there were enough different options to fool around with that it was merely annoying that I couldn't play with the aliens. Sure, I wanted to see what all the races...

Well this can only end well.

Welcome to the forum! So - I can be as academic and appreciative of appreciative of literary analysis as almost anyone else, and I'm not going to say this is too long. (Yes I did read your comment there.) What I will suggest is you provide a summary - an abstract, if you will - to give us a...

So I can understand not wanting to be this guy's friend any more, but canceling your Gold subscription and not playing online any more because of one person? This sounds quite excessive. I mean, I don't enjoy hearing trash talkers, so if I ever start hearing them in my ear, I mute them...

That's a good question. I am actually looking forward to a number of upcoming 3ds games, which makes me feel better about semi-impulse buying the 3ds when it came out. Okay, with this in place.. out of the games I know coming out, oddly enough I'm most excited for Animal Crossing 3DS. The...

Hope I'm not repeating someone else right now (don't have the patience at the moment to read through the entire thread), but this totally just reminded me of the pokemon fan club owner in Vermillion in Red/Blue going on about his Ponyta. Something like "Ponyta.. it hot.. beautiful.." etc.
