You make some really great points and have helped me sympathize with a gentleman I didn't much side with beforehand. I agree that it was likely an honest misunderstanding on his part regarding how the toy he bought his child worked. The sticking point for me is that kid. While I'll grant that he...

I can't be the only geek who delighted in Khan's final spiteful quoting of Moby Dick:

This is great. I'm definitely throwing in at least $15. I have a soft spot for adventure games and $15 is a good price point for taking a chance on one. All I really look for in my adventure games is an interesting story and - if possible - a sense of humor. Looks like this team can probably...

Lady Vengeance - a foreign film about one woman's vengeance. Dark, gritty, realistically done with some very memorable scenes. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father - a documentary that will rip your heart out with a spoon. Or at least it did mine. A grieving filmmaker's...

AAAGGHH! I remember this an none too fondly. Seriously, if you ever come across a teacher who announces this as his grading method you need to IMMEDIATELY do as earnest evaluation of your expected strength in the material and how smart you think you are compared to your peers. I was stupid...

That's an interesting thought. But when one goes to join an online game isn't it already standard to sign to terms & conditions agreement? And don't those agreements all basically say that you the player accept that you own *nothing* but instead are entering into a license to play said game...

The DC digital program isn't all that bad but I agree that it's much easier to admire the artwork in a physical copy rather than a digital one. The advantage I like best of the digital program is that it lets you pick up stories you're interested in following but don't want to devote shelf space...

Great episode! I especially liked the revelation about why the DM's sister always seems so uptight about the game. Please keep the episodes coming! You guys are doing great work & are high on my lists of reasons to keep coming back to the Escapist :)

But what about digital media's ability to store so much more information in much smaller spaces? My local library is constantly having to sell off items to make room for new books - shelf space is a real concern and when you're trying to save as much as possible for posterity not really knowing...

Ben there, Dan that! It's a hilarious classic point & click adventure game that you can get for free at: http://www.sizefivegames.com/games/ben-there-dan-that/ The sequel is even better and you can pick it & the original up on Steam for a measly $5.

Agreed!

Female & Yes.

Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father Saddest thing I have ever seen.
