    "Why don't more games have this?!"

    Bionic Commando: Grappling hooks, which are fucking awesome. Metal Gear Solid, Little King's Story, Shin Megami Tensei and Persona: Actual subtlety and complexity in the story. Zelda, Grand Theft Auto, The Witcher 3, Metroid, Xenoblade: Interesting open worlds instead of checklists like...

    The most cynical thing you can think of.

    I am semi-Nihilistic, so I believe that the universe is a cold, cruel abyss ruled by nothing and we are inherently evil. Morality was created by society to control our darkest impulses and one day we will destroy ourselves. I disagree, however, with the idea that achievements and gaining...

    Bubsy is actually back! ...but why?

    I actually like the first Bubsy game. Games I would like to see get sequels are Tin Star, Gun Smoke, Gumshoe, Ai Senshi Nichol, Otocky, Kabuki Quantum Fighter, Vice Project Doom, Bubbles and The New Zealand Story.

    Explain how a robotic/machine society would function?

    My hope is that a robotic society will not be made of true robots, but of men who have had their brains downloaded into robot bodies. Our understanding of the brain is still limited, but with sufficient development, we could probably do things like maximize emotions like pleasure and minimize...

    Biggest flaws in your favorite games?

    Resident Evil 4, Bionic Commando Remastered, Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101, No More Heroes, etc: Quick Time Events and button mashing. These are parlor tricks, not skills, and no fun. Mega Man, Adventures of Batman and Robin for SNES, Devil May Cry: Boss rushes: I already beat the bosses...

    Upcoming games of 2018 you are looking forward to?

    I also want Psychonauts 2, Death Stranding, Shin Megami Tensei 5 and Sea of Thieves. Ni No Kuni 2 looks like shit: the first one was surprisingly good, but this looks slow and boring.

    Upcoming games of 2018 you are looking forward to?

    They probably will not all come out this year but I want: Metroid Prime 4: All of the previous games are excellent and Retro also did a great job with Donkey Kong. Cyberpunk 2077: I love cyberpunk and The Witcher 1 and 3. This should be a creative and fun game. Battletech, Mechwarrior 5...

    Games you never get tired of

    Mario: Lots of creativity, fun, varied environments and enemies and plenty of hidden things to find. I can play most of the games endlessly without getting bored. Rayman: Same as Mario. Mario versus Rabbids Kingdom Battle: Like the previous ones, but an even better game. 2D Zeldas like...

    First to play/first to buy in 2018?

    I have been playing Metal Saga, Puyo Puyo Tetris and Silhouette Mirage. Metal Saga is like the only translated predecessor, Metal Max Returns by which I mean fucking awesome. Puyo Puyo Tetris is a fun combination of classic games, but pretty easy so far--though I am still at the beginning and...

    2017 Movies: The Year in Review

    Best I saw this year: Criminal: An amazing movie, very creative and great fun. You should all watch this masterpiece. Twin Peaks: Firewalk with Me: Even more fun and surreal than the television show. Lego Batman: Not quite as good as the first, but still a very funny and creative...

    Artists That Keep Putting Out Solid Work?

    Nintendo: Has made many of the best games of the last couple of generations, like Metroid Prime Trilogy, Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Splatoon 1 and 2, Arms, Mario versus Rabbids, Zelda: A Link between Worlds, 3D Mario World. David Lynch: The new Twin peaks was great, almost as fun and creative...

    The Escapist Christmas Haul 2017

    I got Amazon and Gamestop gift cards, used them to get Xenoblade 2, World of Final Fantasy, Silhouette Mirage because Treasure made the best Genesis games, Wild Arms 3 because Thinking inside the Box said it was great and stuck to the Western theme quite well and that is a great website, some...

    Villains who had a point

    Doctor Robotnik: He wants to turn everything into an awesome robot, build a theme park across the world and a bunch of stupid animals oppose him. They could work with him to make the robots work as well as possible. Edea in Final Fantasy 8: She can unite everyone peacefully to support a...

    "2017 has been one of the best gaming years" - Yay or nay?

    I admit that Persona 5, Mario Odyssey and Rabbids, Splatoon 2, Resident Evil 7, Horizon, Cuphead were excellent, Neir Automata was interesting despite its flaws and Zelda, A Hat and in time and Hollow Knight sound great. Hellblade and Shadows of War, however were terrible. There are better...
