Ok, so I've always wanted to write a book and I have an idea right now I'm wrestling with and was hoping to kick around some thoughts and get some ideas flowing... What if you took the typical high-fantasy world and fast forwarded it into modern day? What would that look like? What kind of...

What's the best childhood adventure you've ever had? I have a couple I really cherish even though I look back and realize how dumb I was. One time, me and my neighbor decided to explore the sewer/drainage tunnel system running beneath our neighborhood and we spent hours down there exploring...

What would the world be like today if the Soviet Union never collapsed? Would the Cold War still be going on? Would terrorism and the crisis in the Middle Eastern countries been radically different?

I don't even like World of Warcraft, but this still depresses me. At least before this, though I thought it was stupid, I had at least some level of respect for the franchise garnering such a following. But this is so retarded. And what a terrible time to make this addition, with The Old...

How does Southpark get away with using so many characters from other shows? Like just in the Imaginationland episode they use hundreds of characters from other places. If I were to write a book and use Ronald McDonald, the Hamburglar, etc, as characters, would I not face legal ramifications? How...

it's like a class period that you just sit in when you have an opening in your schedule. some people use it to work, but since I'm a senior I don't have anything to work on.

So my study hall teacher is a *****, and it's a class full of Seniors at the end of the day. She doesn't let us talk or sleep or anything so I need to come up with some ways that we can mess with her and preferably don't get caught. Like something that doesn't look like we're intentionally...

really? I personally loved that book and i read it for school twice. Anyway, I'd have to go with The Once and Future King. That shit made me want to gouge my eyes out, blend them with a bunch of nails, eat the concoction, wait till I poo it out, then smear the feces on a sheet of paper and...

Give them the immortality and then chain them to the bottom of the ocean. Constant drowning! Or cast them out into space, whichever.

Hey I need help coming up with a really creative way to ask a girl to my homecoming dance at school. So I can give you an idea: last year I got a friend of mine to dress up like a homeless guy and stand on a street corner with a cardboard sign. I went and picked up this girl I was asking, and...

Do you think this game could be good? Or will it suck like Spiderman's other recent outings? *Personally I didn't think Web of Shadows was all that bad, but then again I'm a pretty tolerant guy when it comes to games*

I wish they had named it something else, but with shock in it still... like Aeroshock

Or what if you did a First/Third Person shooter vs. the RTS, with the player playing the RTS taking the role of like say the AI director thing from Left for Dead, and they can lay traps, change the environment, or move units and the like.

Spiderman Web of Shadows felt like the same thing over and over and over and over... but web slinging will never lose its appeal.

I loved seeing and playing new indie games every week, it was a great column and I just realized I haven't seen it in forever! what's the deal, escapist? Does anyone else miss it? What happened to it?
