    The Fading Awe of Aging Graphics

    In my perspective, that of gaming since the original GameBoy, graphics hit a plateau with Source engine circa 2005., beyond which I can't justify the cost for benefit. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for technological progress, but I guess that era of gaming sort of hit the sweet spot for me and...

    The Ads of Super Bowl 50 - The Good, The Bad, and the Weird

    See, I'm not from the USA and as an outsider, I find it pretty bizzare. Are people really looking forward to commercial ads, getting hyped about them, talking about it like *that's* an event in and of itself? It seemes like you're being ass raped and are loving it, sorry guys.

    General Unpopular Opinions

    And how about this; some aspects of religion might have been beneficial to the humanity, however, we're way past that point as we now know that the Sun is a giant nuclear furnace and what causes thunder. The sad part is, I believe mine is the least popular opinion.

    Tomorrow I'm gonna do something stupid and pointless with little chance of success.

    Poll: Poll: The escapists perfect woman

    Definitely pale but only in combination with dark hair, preferably black or dark red. Pale blondes look anemic and like they're about to faint. :D

    She/he was so into me!

    I remember this one instance some five years ago when I was driving on a bus sitting by the window. The bus stopped at the traffic lights and this girl was in the car next to the bus. Our eyes met and she smiled at me with this look that said "you're so fucking hot&cute I wanna fuck you stupid...

    Poll: What is your general music preference?

    Since I'm new here, I'd like to hear the pulse of you, the respected Escapist geek community, what is your general music preference. I really tried to be as much as broad when chosing the particular genres and I don't think one can be much broader within just 8 possible options so don't give me...

    Your worst profanity...without swearing!
