    Post novel depression.

    Sadly, I never read much of Tsubasa. My Mokona fascination comes mostly from Magic Knight Rayearth. And I must say, a lot of anime/manga has left me quite sad and sorrowful at the end from knowing I might never get to experience something similar ever again.

    Post novel depression.

    Sadly, it happened quite often when I was younger. Now that I'm older I've taken steps to try to lessen the blow. The most notable time was after reading the 4th HP book when I was 13 and realising that not only was the next book far away, but I would also never get to attend Hogwarts myself and...

    Share something interesting about your town/village/community

    The community my parents live in (where I used to live) has a motto like many other Swedish cities... only ours is rather weird. "See Sundbyberg, then die." And that's the official motto that they have on billboards and stuff. Then again, there are many senior citizens living here.

    Escapist Podcast: PAX Panel: What Women Really Want From Female Characters

    I must say that while it is a bit of a marketing ploy, this whole choose your femshep thing, I am happy for the fact that we get an official one at all that will hopefully be used in the campaigns. I know it annoyed me to NO END that there was no female Hawke in the promotions for DA2. If I had...

    Don?t Stick It in The Crazy

    Agreed. Also, wikipedia with it's anonymity makes critically analyzing the source harder. Since no one is taking responsibility for the information, it's hard to see where they're "coming from" and how that could affect the information. So even when the information is correct, there is no...

    Germany Wants to See Your Papers for That Unicorn

    Sigh. So you're telling me the unicorns were hiding in Germany all along!? I'm sad and disappointed with my german friend for not telling me this. Other than that though, I guess it kind of makes sense. It does sound a bit suspicious.

    Film This Chick Stuff! Part One: A Call for Aid

    I've always been a bit of a girly girl, but since I had an older brother he often dictated what we saw on TV meaning it was less My little ponies (the 90's series with highschool twist which I LOVED) and more Dennis the menace. But there are some things I remember watching and loving as a little...

    Guild Wars 2 Delivers Eye-Popping "Manifesto" Trailer

    The asuras are not dwarves since there were dwarves before but they got turned into stone, the Sylvari are more like fairies than elves and the charr are unlike any I'VE ever seen atleast. I can see your point ofcourse, but I dont really know what you'd rather have??

    Guild Wars 2 Delivers Eye-Popping "Manifesto" Trailer

    It is true that parts of the gameworld looks a lot like most other mmos. However, the first Guildwars did what it could to mix things up with their different expansions, taking us not only to Europeish landscapes but also huge deserts and deep jungles. The races are also different from the...

    Poll: What are your feelings on the proper usage of spelling and grammar on Escapist Forums?

    I think I've spent too much time on mmos to not get annoyed at poor spelling and grammar. It bothers me that I, who does not have English as my first language often appear to be better at spelling than many natives. Reading poorly put together texts make me so tired these days that I can't even...

    The Playground Model

    I remember a few years back when I finally had the computer to be able to play GW. All my friends had been playing it for a long time, so I knew what I was getting into. The first few months whenever my ex boyfriend wasn't pestering me about doing the main storyline, I'd just explore. Sure, I...

    Did Dragon Age: Origins Scare You?

    Like most others have said, the deep roads... I chose that path fairly early in the game and had still not quite gotten the hang of everything yet. So all threats were very much real. Actually, I found a lot of things if not scary atleast haunting. I was on the edge of my seat for a great...

    Female Gamers: An Unpopular Opinion

    When I see a female avatar on my mmorpg, I will assume that person is a girl. While knowing they often are not, it solves my trouble of what to call them. Ínterestingly enough, I get a lot of "Dude, I'm a guy" when I refer to them as "she". This is much more common than the other way around, to...

    Being a Gamer = Being a Sports fan

    While I see your point, I think it has less to do with being like sports fans and more about some aspects of human nature that manifests in many different ways. One could apply gaming to most aspects of life, as games are fairly versatile in the feelings they inspire in people. There is much...
