Business, history, and politics are pretty generic degrees, you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want with them. You're not limited by much, and they are probably some of the highest paid straight out of undergrad degrees (specifically business degrees). For me, I'm almost finished...

All of the above. Unfortunately for some games, they can all come together in a perfect storm of terrible.

What music do you listen to while taking a shower/bath? For example, I enjoy listening to Rage Against the Machine, because rocking out to Guerrilla Radio and Killing in the Name while bathing makes me feel way more hardcore than I really am.

What made me come to the internet? I was probably looking for a cheat to beat Battletoads. Damn that game...

I understand that the developers were trying to get rid of the monotony of the first game, but I felt the game to be a little unfocused, and the ending utterly disappointing.

I find it really interesting that no one in a sample size of thirty Escapists reads only the newspaper. I did a survey of the faculty at my school and found ~25% of professors read ONLY newspapers. Several even suggested that they trust printed news more than online sources, but is that really...

I'm doing a little bit of research for a project in sociology class, and I'd like to see how the Escapist population (perhaps younger on average than the general population) compares to older sample groups. My project is on if paper-based news sources will eventually become obsolete due to the...

Are you kidding? Leftover pizza from the night before is the only breakfast I eat in college.

I had a friend who always would spell "tommorow" instead of "tomorrow" in texts. She did it for years. Absolutely drove me crazy!

Pokemon Snap. Without a doubt.
