I think we all understand that Escapist was looking to fill the Top 5 spot they pushed Lisa Foiles out of a couple years ago, so they scooped up some hip, trendy, well(ish)-dressed guys to do their own Top 5 show. I'll be honest with you, Escapist... I don't watch most of your content. I will...

I've been playing Far Cry 3 a lot over the past few weeks and I would have said it was my "Game of the Year" but then I started getting near the end of the story. Eh... So yeah, Dishonored gets my vote. (Side-note: Aside from being a great game, I gave my vote to Dishonored because it's...

I think Bioware's intent was to take the traditional MMO concept and personalize it more to the player. Every MMO I've played has eventually left me bored or lacking motivation to keep going. It all becomes a number crunch, there's no story, and as you mentioned, if people aren't around to group...

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past or Super Mario World (heck, most SNES games) I would say Chrono Trigger but the game was long.

I find the site knows what I like, it puts the videos I want right at the top: Zero Punctuation, Extra Credits, Escape to the Movies, The Big Picture (wasn't into it originally but it has grown on me). Same with Lisa's Top 5. I was quick to write her off as a bimbo but actually she's pretty cool...

Looking forward to it, but may wait to see reviews (yes, I know it's already out in Japan, I just haven't taken the time to read those reviews yet).

I'll admit to ignoring the ads, too. In fact, sometimes you accidentally click the wrong place and another window opens for an ad. Escapist isn't as bad as other sites, though. One site in particular I feel like writing a post titled "Mind the Potholes" and ranting about how you can't even...

I like(d) HAWP. The original stuff was hilarious, but then it became popular and they didn't make them as often and they weren't as funny (with some exceptions). I find, no...I KNOW Anthony Burch is an intelligent individual with a gift for words and a unique perspective about things. That...

I'm still skeptical about Portal 2. All of the reasons why I enjoyed the first one don't appear to be evident in what I've seen from the second one. I enjoyed figuring things out in Portal (a game that actually makes you learn sometime by playing it) and I feel like Portal 2 wants to hold your...

Some quick things about comedy: Comedians aren't any fun to hang around with, they're usually down or depressed. (This is a generalization based on what I have heard certain famous comedians say) Usually their ability to find humor in dark/tough situations is a coping skill or defense...

There is no right way to spell Ke$ha.

Alan Wake, anyone? That game just sucks you in!

I never really jump on the bandwagon when a new system comes out. Usually they're buggy and don't work properly. It's been a while now and the current generation seems to be running smoothly now, but I'm still without a "next-gen" system. I read reviews, see advertisements and hear people...

If you think about it, LEGO Star Wars was rather successful, and that was a LucasArts game. I think what it really boils down to is pandering. People are talking about PS3 and 360, so they're releasing things for those systems. I've always felt that PC gamers were more mature and refined than...
