    What would you like to see next from the Avatar Universe?

    Assuming that there will be another Avatar series, which seems doubtful, what would you fine Escapists like to see from the Avatar universe? Me, I'd like to see a prequel that follows the third avatar after Wan (who should be an earthbender). I reckon that it would be cool to see the Avatar...

    Words/phrases that piss you off

    I hate the word "ta" used to say thank you. It feels to me like somebody is so lazy they can't even use the other 5 letters in thanks, it's not even another syllable. I don't know about other parts of the word but it is very common in Australia.

    Old social values you could get behind

    I don't know whether or not it can be considered "old world" but I would like to see a resurgence in people keeping their word. It used to be that breaking your word was considered the height of scumbaggery but now people do it all the time, especially in politics but then when have politicians...

    How should we judge sequels/later instalments to a series?

    That depends on how you are viewing it. Are you viewing it as Thing 2 or Thing Related to Thing 1? If you view it as the next version then you have to view it in comparison to the original. However, if it is related to the original (like set in the same universe) but it is its own story then...

    Steam Early Access Game Released in Full One Day After Being On Sale

    Hello People of the Escapist Unless you live under a rock you probably noticed that Steam had a sale recently. You also probably know that Steam has a lot of "Early Access" games that can be quite horrible. Out of general principle I don't buy early access games because if I like it and it...

    Aversion to Children

    I personally like children but only from the third person. I really hate high pitched noises (to the point of them causing actual physical pain) and I like sleep, which children seem to like interrupting. That said I am often around the children of the few of my relatives and friends that...

    Leaked photos may show off Assassin's Creed 5's new location, two games this fall

    Changing the country that it is in each time is just getting dull. AC4 was good in my opinion because it was very different to the others and you actually acted like a pirate (what you were supposed to be). I'd personally prefer if they gave you a choice in missions rather than everything...

    About 25% of Americans Don't Know the Earth Revolves Around the Sun

    I used to use this logic to avoid fruit and vegies as a kid. Animals eat them and I eat animals therefore I eat fruit and vegies. Fortunately that logic didn't fool my folks. On a relevant note, I've seen a lot of these these kinds of surveys, most are bollocks and just done to make a...

    Study Shows Most Gamers Are Goody-Two-Shoes With Moral Choices

    Like pretty much everyone has said, most evil options are over the top. However sometimes they're not evil at all and just slightly more extreme. My example is from Mass Effect 2 during the Archangel mission. You get the opportunity to take a free shot at a mech but this is considered evil...

    If You Found Santa In Your House, What Would You Do?

    Everyone is thinking too small, stealing all the presents, taking santa hostage or being nice, pshhhh. I would replace the presents and coal with nanotech that transforms into deathbots when opened. Then I can take the whole world hostage and become supreme overlord of earth, mwhahahahah. Oh...

    Destiny Inspired by Dark Souls, Monster Hunter, Bungie Says

    All FPS's using a gamepad are challenging because aiming with a gamepad is like braining yourself compared to using a mouse. Although they could actually make it challenging by making you think about what you are doing for a change.

    EA CEO: People Need DLC To Tide Them Over Between Releases

    It all depends on what kind of dlc they release and the gap between games. Good dlc will keep potentially uninterested fans interested in the franchise but bad dlc. Good dlc is something that actually adds to the experience, it doesn't add new guns or something like that but it adds a new...

    Declining quality of TWD

    I tend to find, at least with the tv show, that it is a very good start, good ending, terrible middle show. A lot of stuff happens at the start of each season to open up some story lines. A lot of stuff happens at the end each season to close these story lines. Every episode in between is the...

    Does anyone ever get the, "I hope this game doesn't suck feeling" Update the game sucked

    Oh man I had the I hope it doesn't suck feeling for DA2. A few days before actually buying the game I watched some developer commentary and heard one of the developers say "We are focusing on the combat." Instantly I knew that the game was going to be way worse than the original and like a fool...
