    Plot twists and big reveals you solved by yourself

    Oh man, I do this all the time, but the one that comes to mind is an old movie called Paycheck. I remember it because I was watching it with my family, TOTALLY called something, was mocked, and then was proven right. Very satisfying. Anyway, it wasn't a huge plot twist or anything, I just...

    So I Finally Got Around To It

    What games, Escapists, have been sitting on your shelves for months or years, and you've only now gotten around to beating them? And optionally, what do you still have left to go? I've had this month off, so I've been trying to clear house there, and finally beat both Bayonetta and Prototype...

    But Is It Art?

    Okay, I apologize for bringing this stupid topic up yet again, but as someone that has basically clapped his hands over his ears and ignored the entire Games-As-Art debate, I have a question for those of you that willingly participated in that drivel. This question stems from a thread on here...

    DM Looking For D&D Players REOPENED

    I am all over this. I'm DMing a game right now and have been looking for a chance to just play again. I'm central (GMT -6). Skype: perfectionismisgodly

    Poll: Villains you can hate

    I like seeing both in my media, but for very different reasons. I tend to cheer for the bad guys (futilely, I know) in books and movies, especially when the hero is such an insufferably good bastard that it makes me physically ill. Basically, I'm on the side of whichever character is more...

    Anime ending that disappointed you

    I've been beaten to the punch here several times over with Death Note, but I'll throw Inuyasha into the ring too. It ended almost exactly where it started. Nothing changed, nothing resolved. I was incensed. Then I found the hidden Final Cut season and all was well. Much better ending.

    How the hell is that (not) acceptable?

    The problem with this censorship is that we start classifying backwards. I'm not supposed to say "shit" in front of the children I teach, so I say "crap" instead. One of them told me that was a bad word. I think this is a sign. If we start using some words as substitutions for bad words, then...

    Poll: Star Trek (Voyager mostly)

    I love how half of this thread is people arguing over the poll and half is actually arguing over the content of the original post. Like some before me, I'll do both at once. I've always loved Picard (and voted for him), but I like Janeway. Yes, she was somewhat robotic at times (though when...

    Your Favorite Vocalist

    I'm very pleased to see almost everyone I was going to name has been named at least once already. I'll list anyway. Amy Lee (Evanescence) Corey Taylor (Stone Sour/Slipknot) Those are really my top two. If they ever teamed up for anything, I might just die of musical bliss. Honourable...

    What's the first class you usually play in RPGs.

    Mage or equivalent first, stabby Rogue or equivalent second, Warrior or equivalent third, and all ranged classes last (I am absolute shit with a bow).

    Just Nut Up And Do It

    Thank you, sir/madam, for making this otherwise tedious thread a pleasure to read with your comments. Not sure I really have anything to add; I don't like the sex thing either, blah, blah, blah, people will do what they want, etc... I just felt BloatedGuppy needed some props.

    They don't make them like this anymore.

    I want so badly to agree with you, but you're just so...wrong. Graphics and special effects are cinematic tools, nothing more. To say that a house built today is better than a house built 50 years ago because we have more advanced power tools would be ridiculous. Do they enhance some movies...

    Homophobisms

    I find it uncomfortable to be hit on by either gender (I'm a straight male). That whole process just...bothers me. More relevantly, though, I think this was most nicely handled by a guy I met a few years ago. When it looked like we were going to start hanging out, he said, "I know you're...

    Movies that you are told are bad, that you consider good.

    In an attempt to add a movie to the pile that hasn't been said already: Ultraviolet Aeon Flux In keeping with those above me: Sucker Punch Mortal Kombat (okay, I truly know it's awful, but I love MK too much to care) Matrix Reloaded (the architect scene is the highlight of the whole...

    Poll: No children: a turn-off?

    Pretty much this. I mean, I do want kids eventually, but not anytime soon (I'm 22 for fuck's sake). If I don't think this person is "the one", as you put it, then I definitely don't want kids with them, and if they don't want kids either, then that's actually an attractive quality, because it...
