    Zero Punctuation: 2.5D Hoedown

    I played Trine and I'm about halfway through and I had the same problems like Yahtzee had. I was solving puzzles and getting over obstcales in wierd ways (mostly by using the wizard) and I ended up not using the other stuff in the map (extra boxes, swings, platforms, etc) so I felt at times...

    I saw District 9...

    I think it's an interesting take on the scifi alien genre. Most aliens are depicted in either two extremes -- either they're super evil and we're fighting them, or they are friendly somehow and we're working with them and their technology to fight something else. These aliens were depicted as...

    Students research mathematics behind a zombie apocalypse

    Well, there's actually a few articles on how a zombie apocalypse can actually happen: http://www.cracked.com/article_15643_5-scientific-reasons-zombie-apocalypse-could-actually-happen.html I know that it is a humor site but the explanations it gives does kinda make sense in a semi...

    The Wii is Epic!

    Well, after like 3 or 4 beers, the wii games are actually pretty fun. No thinking just button mashing with friends on brawl. Sheesh you try playing COD4/5 when you're loaded... I was like a slow motion bullet magnet...

    Poll: Your favourite Stealth game

    Actually liked Velvet Assassin... *looks around* whaatt? Its not a big budget stealth game but I got what the creators were trying to do with the storyline -- only if the gameplay didn't get in the way so much...

    What are you reading right now?

    Hey that's great, did you watch the movie/anime of Howl's moving castle? I loved the movie but I'm still trying to get around to reading the book. Currently I'm reading Watership Down by Richard Adams -- those rabbits really kick ass...

    Poll: Gay Marriage

    Let me put up an explanation given by my cultural anthropology professor during class last month. He was leading a discussion on this and this is a condensed version of what happened so bear with me.... One day in class He pointed to one of my African American classmates and said, really...

    Poll: Snipers in the Mist!!

    Just an experiment to get a feel of what kind of players are here in Escapist! You are wielding an automatic rifle and you and two other teammates are running along the edge of the map, hoping to outflank the snipers/campers thats been causing grief for your team since the game began. As...

    FOX to Recast Futurama

    Well.. I donno... I had this classmate last year that did a pretty good Fry's voice -- I closed my eyes and couldn't tell the difference. He said he wanted to try to audition for the show and be happy if they even paid him half of what Billy West was making. But its hard to make a judgment if...

    Poll: Which country has had the most negative effect on the world?

    Yeah... America's pretty bad based on current world politics... but historically speaking, the British empire had more of an overall negative impact on the world.

    The DSi is a rushed half-assed, desperatly and poorly executed job.

    Hehe, I agree they're like McDs or Dissnee with these vast media empires, where when they come out with something new.. you HAVE TO HAVE IT!! I guess I'm really behind on the times (or may I'm just more of a xbox and sony guy) but let me get this straight -- the new DSi will not be able to...

    Poll: Killing Floor = New King of Online Co-Op Zombie Games?

    Looks interesting -- the pacing seems a bit slower (slower zombies) and the mood lighter than with l4d (not only survive but to kill everything). But the animations didn't seem as smooth as l4d... or maybe it was low framerate utube movie I saw. Other than that, there seems to ALOT more...
