    The Escapist Film Festival 2010: Speaking in the First Person

    Silent protagonist would be easiest, since I wouldn't have to deal with their voice interfering with mine, or having to mimic his. But I don't think I'm gonna win this ;3. I'm hoping Nintendobo win's it, that shit cracks me up. I just looked at the Freeman's Mind thing, you're right it's...

    The 4th Annual The Escapist Film Festival Is Now Live

    I'm wondering about file types for these movies. For instance, I'm using Fraps to capture video off a game and it gives a .avi file type, but it also is an insanely huge size file. I can fix that by throwing it into windows live movie maker and that brings it done by quite a bit (since 200mb is...

    Important: The Pros and Cons of smoking ciggys and smoking weed

    You don't want the shit they put in cigs in your body. At least weed is natural. Sure you can get a little bit of cancer from smoking weed, just like you can get a wee bit o' cancer from freaking everything (Which is why you shouldn't care). Also. You don't have to smoke weed. Make some...

    So... I Just Became a Vegetarian

    From what I'm getting from all your responses to these posts... The real problem isn't meat. It's that you don't have the willpower to refrain from overeating, once you get started. I would deal with that problem first. You may believe your lack of willpower will screw you over unless you...

    Do you read novels If so what is your prefered genre?

    I believe the same person who wrote the Artemis Fowl series has written a sequel to the universally beloved by geeks (Myself extremely included) Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. You may want to check it out. I found it quite entertaining while still in keeping with the spirit of the...

    Weirdest compliments you've ever received?

    Poll: Beautiful or Badass?

    Probably go with beauty. There's not a whole lot a badass can do in a land of laws; not a lot that won't end with a prison sentence that is.

    Pain Tolerance

    I once climbed barefoot over barbed wire without knowing it. In this case pain tolerance was not a good thing, since I was essentially walking in horseshit barefoot with open wounds (I was raised on a farm). This is going to sound a little strange, but honestly whenever I get hurt I'm too...

    Comic Book Legend's Lost Works Becoming Videogames

    The 'Golden Shield' one will be particularly interesting. After all, it's almost 2012, they better get on it or it will be a parody rather then a prophecy.

    Mmmmm, X-Com. I loved it when I played it years ago, one of the few games I remember from the computerize part of my youth (The other game being 'Out of this World').

    The iPad: So Simple a Cat Can Use It

    First off, of course, AWWWWW THAT'S CUTE. Now that I got that out of the way, this is a good example of the problems with Apple's AppStore. The majority of games are essentially cat toys. Touch the screen and it makes a noise or shows bright colors. I was hoping with the iPad we'd get a lot more...

    Girls in Gaming

    I have no problem with hot nearly-naked women in my video games. If it's a action game I expect tits, bullets, and blood to fly in all directions. Just as I would if I went to see a movie of the same genre. However, If it's a RPG I'd rather see complex personalities and relationships...

    I was at PAX east and there were quite a lot of rather good looking ladies, and I'm not just talking about the ones that are paid to be there.

    Poll: Offline Coop / Splitscreen

    Hot seat computer games are pretty epic, mostly Worms of course. Also yes offline co-op is the best. Being within punching distance of your opponent is very important in some games.
