    You're the head of a failing entertainment company...

    Actually this was an assignment we had in a game design class of mine. We were given this exact scenario and the professor told us that we need to make X amount of money. Our grade would be the amount: B+ and up means we made enough of a profit and could keep our company going/ B or less meant...

    So I've got an Idea for a game...

    I recommend a software called Gamemaker. It's what I first started using in my game design classes and is a great beginners tool. There are step by step tutorials in the software and even some starting sprites that they offer to assist you. However! As any game designer will tell you, the...

    Awesome trailers for video games

    That's an easy one! Any of the original Nazi Zombie trailers. The first one was so original. I had just got my PS3 for the first time when I was a kid, and didn't know if I wanted this "Call of Duty: World at War" game, so I looked it up on Youtube and saw this trailer. I was hooked instantly.

    I have always wondered where my voice would fit in with a VA group. I've been told I sound a bit like Jonah Hill at times, but I don't know how well I would fit in with what you want from the characters. However I am bouncing this to 2 friends, both who are interested in VA work and both who...

    Old rich guy buries treasure. Seriously.

    Actually, the reason he did so was because he was diagnosed with cancer. He was given a few months to live and decided to do something for people to remember. He wanted to give people the same feeling he got when he searched for treasure. He filled it with over a million dollars worth of gold...

    Teens Sedate Parents For Net Access

    It could have been a lot worse for the teens. Back when I did work with a Juvenile hall, there was a girl in there who had put a sleeping pill in her mom's drink so that she could stay the night at a slumber party one of her friends was having. However, it turned out the mom was allergic to...

    Let's talk addiction.

    I hear you OP. And of course you can see that you are not alone in the world. That is the most important thing for you to know is that you always have a backing of people here that will help you through a problem. The nicotine thing is a horrible situation to be in. I cite my father as a...

    A terrible plague upon the Escapist... (Please set an avatar)

    I gave up on it after every image I tried returned with the broken link icon. Only when I read this did I look back up and see that it just took forever to change. <- Side-note: 100% original, right thar.

    A thread to complain about the small issues of the escapist forums.

    I'd have to say that I get pretty nervous posting on here. I've seen people suspended for things that I would have said. So it leads to me taking the time to type up a comment and then pausing and thinking: "Is this going to get me suspended? Did I say something wrong here, but am not going...
