    PC game commandments

    Thou must wait until thy game works seamlessly before selling it to the public. Or at least bring out patches for the problems. (This is really important when you get to deal with a major problem, like the No Sound Issue of Bioshock. That one pretty much ruins the gameplay.)

    Videogame's Most Bad Ass Villain

    Ghengis Khan, anyone? He killed about the same amount of people as WW2 did. Maybe even more. And he did it with way more primitive technology. He eradicated empires. Women were allowed to fight in his army, which makes it more horrid than anything. You know how the mongol soldiers ripped the...

    What do prefer- Asterix&Obelisk OR TinTin.

    Asterix and Obelix are better. Tintin really started out bad. (Tintin in the land of the sovjets is the worst comic book ever). Asterix even has witty names (like two germans called Tonic and Colatic, and a frankish cook called self-servix). Tintin throws some paranormal stuff (like living...

    Most dreaded sounds in gaming.

    A certain scientist in Half life 1, making comments about "how dark it was", just after a headcrab jumped to his head. That was...disturbing at least. Also, in the Doom 3 game, for me the most dreaded sound was...well, no sound at all. As soon as everything became silent, and the walls...

    What is the Most Annoying Enemies in gaming

    Almalexia from TES 3:Morrowind (Tribunal expansion). I'm glad there's only one.

    Poll: Escapist, what's your sexuality?

    Bisexual. Although I'd rather use the term omnisexual. It is bigger, and I'm a megalomaniac.

    Are you a good shot?

    The best thing I can do is close my eyes and use full automatic fire. My average hit ratio (which became mindbogglingly clear during a laser shooting game and a match of paintball) is less than one percent.

    How do YOU deal with the homeless?

    Just saying "No, I can't give you anything. I haven't got any cash with me". A few moments later, I usually proudly walk out of a store with a new DVD box, like one of "Back To The Future, or "Fawlty Towers". Their facial expression is priceless. The next time I'll ask them what they think of...

    Creepy Compliments

    "Jesus is here to save you". A bearded person walke up to me when I was out in the woods one day, and he said that. I think he meant it as a compliment, (that I'm good enough to be 'saved' by 'Jesus', presumably) but in context with the situation it was rather disturbing. "Your soup might...

    Same S***, different analogy

    "Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and he'll be on his back drinking beer all day. "Life is like a fridge: Everytime you think there's nothing left, you'll suddenly see either something that makes you really really happy, or some rotten thing you never...

    IKEA Brings Portal To Life

    I don't know is it's that impressive. it's the mirroring thing that bothers me. Now if you had a blue portal oval thingy, and an orange one, and you use those on the sides of a wall, and make a hole in the wall big enough to step through, THEN it would really be like portalling from space to space.

    The world's best fictional person.

    I can't choose between these three: The Doctor Sam Starfall The Mad God Sheogorath The Doctor is a genuine hero, who acts ethically (as opposed to the billions of hero's who don't, and think the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the universe). He actually regrets killing things (you...

    Poll: Would you give up all emotion?

    No. I would give up most emotions. Actually, I already have. I don't really feel anything except happiness and a bit of anger. I can't be sad, jealous, or anything else. And being less of a human, is that bad? Most bad things I know are human. I'd rather be less human than fully human...

    The World's LEAST hated video game developer

    I would go for Valve. Valve is superb.

    Your first game

    The original Quake, on Windows 95. I was still a little boy of 5 back then. I started early.
