    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    I love bob's video's & podcasts. I found him years ago with the gameoverthinker, i only found the escapist when he moved here. There is now little here to interest me. I've added Zero punctuation's YouTube channel to my account & unsubscribed to the escapist. So long & thanks for all the fish.

    8-Bit Philosophy: Is Capitalism Bad For You?

    an interesting if 1 sided argument. as a socialist I'm not going to put to much of a counter argument, but... what has 200 years of capitalism in the UK delivered : 3000% raise in income of a basic worker. the wiping out of many dreaded diseases, hunger & mass poverty. increase of...

    Escapist Podcast: 167: Assemble the Team

    This seems very disappointing news. I loved the TV & movie podcast + Science podcast & now they are been scraped, coming on top of the loss of Jim & the scaling back of reviews means there is a lot less content.

    Game Theory: Why Living on BioShock Infinite's Floating City Would Suck!

    Just on the temperature angel, refrigeration is mainly based on heat exchange rather than creating cold. So a by product of keeping a super conductor cool is VAST quantity's of heat to be vented . I not going to do the math on this but heat shouldn't really be an issue.

    Escapist Podcast - Movies and TV: 013: Shocker, We Talk About Guardians of the Galaxy A LOT

    Have to say I lost a lot of respect for the team for there hatred of Watchmen. I think it one of the all time great comic book movies & Bob's review of it seemed to agree, but he let the rant stand. I guessing he's changed his mind or really need the pay check. Well I agreed with them mostly...

    Escape to the Movies: Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Dark and Action-Packed

    nice spoiler free review, so going to see it tonight. Who's not in the damn poster?, not sure who bob meant. if its that Sir Ian McKellen is more predominant?, well he's far more recognizable. on that subject, just a tip for the Americans, check out - Vicious - with Sir Ian McKellen if...

    No Right Answer: Is Game of Thrones Overrated?

    Internet, hold... Hold... HOLD... HOLD!!!!... NOW!!! well I have to give you points for bravery, at least they guy from 'Raidohead's : Just' video tried to keep his hatred of GoT to himself. Most of your argument seems to be GoT isn't simple, quick & easy. much of TV is dumbing down, so...

    Jimquisition: Monetizing Whales For The Retention Of Virality

    I've been a gamer for more than 25 years, I'm enjoying the return to independent games, based on a good idea & a small passionate person or small group. The fact many are free to play to bring in a wide audience is no bad thing IMHO. But I do understand they often need to raise money & to make...

    Jimquisition: The Adblock Episode

    I use AD blocker, i put it on 2 years ago as i was tired of some of the evasive ad's, ie high volume, multiple pop up's, scams, ect. I still saw Ad's on the escapist so I assumed it didn't affect you, sorry, so i knocked it of after a minute of the video & reloaded. I then got jim speaking with...

    Escape to the Movies: Monsters University

    I wish he'd reviewed World War Z, spare me from it. WWZ isn't a patch on the book & barely follow the storys, heart or lore of it. It makes no real sense on its own merits & they put a happy ending on it as ugly as the boat not sinking in titanic. do your self a favour, read the book, or...

    Escape to the Movies: Man of Steel

    I really liked this movie & I'd disagree with most of the negative point to this review. I found the story really made a lot of sense, if not spoon fed to the audience, & brought a believable dimension to the character. I Just want to flag 1 of them. The destruction of krypton, which bob...

    Escape to the Movies: Fall Preview

    Great if not a little to quick to taken in episode, but I was hoping to see a Judge Dredd review. The trailer looks cool, sdo i was a little on the fence about seeing it. I'll have to take his opening line of "nothing interesting came out" as the review.
