    Jimquisition: Time To Get Paid

    So since this video mentioned terrible advertising-- what do you think of that terrible Diablo 3 advert that has been playing on all Escapist videos the past week or so?

    EA Exec Claims DRM Is a "Failed Dead-End Strategy"

    I would be a lot more open to the whole "it's like an MMO" story if it were actually like an MMO in any way at all. 1. You don't play with thousands or even hundreds of other players, you play with up to 15 other people in the largest region. 2. You never directly interact with other...

    Jimquisition: Emotions, Polygons, and Ellen Page

    Just because a game isn't spunkgargleweewee, doesn't mean it's good. I applaud David Cage for trying to make different games, but they're still pretty bad. Take Heavy Rain. Interesting concept and had some cool ideas, but it tried too hard to be emotional and deep and the game was garbage...

    The Big Picture: Tooned Out

    I remember loving the Kwirk game as a kid. :) I've been looking for that game to have on my Game Boy again for years...

    The Big Picture: Worst Movies of 2012

    I'm only replying to this comment because I don't want to dig through the thread to find Baresark's, but people actually think Russell Crowe did well? He was so easily the worst part of the movie and wasn't suited in any way at all for the role. He can't sing and he totally missed the mark...

    The Big Picture: Worst Movies of 2012

    Boo on hating Les Miserables. Ignoring Russell Crowe, it was pretty great. Even Amanda Seigfried (who's name I cannot spell -_-) who wasn't good, wasn't really bad and at least Cossette isn't that interesting so she really didn't bring it down. I didn't even mind that High Jackman couldn't...

    Escape to the Movies: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

    I really really hope the too long comment at the end wasn't pointed at Les Miserables. I so want that movie to be good, but I'm just really worried about it, especially when a lot of the commercials for it don't involve any singing. I'll just keep telling myself that's because the marketers...

    Zero Punctuation: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

    Have to love how he spends the whole review ragging on the game and saying that anyone who plays it is a complete moron but then right below the video are links to buy the game at all the popular retailers. Yay credibility! -edit- And just to be clear, I'm not trying to call Yahtzee out...

    Jimquisition: Friends

    I've heard people ***** and moan about this before and while I agree it's just an arbitrary number, how many people even actually notice this problem? Your friends list isn't some PR social network thing you can use like Twitter, it's your friends list. To anyone that has actually filled up...

    Zero Punctuation: Lollipop Chainsaw

    It's funny when Yahtzee has to talk about someone who has to try too hard because of what the public expects of him.

    Escape to the Movies: Rock of Ages

    Well crap, and I just bought tickets to this (luckily it's Studio Movie Grill where I can at least drink beer during the movie). It's sad because I really like musicals too, here's hoping Les Mes isn't a train wreck too! Still though, it has to be better than my home where my cable and...

    Escape to the Movies: Green Lantern: Extended Cut

    Ah, too bad Paranormal Activity 3 wasn't shown to critics, I was looking forward to that review today. :-/

    Drinking Games: Warioware Smooth Booze

    This show was brotastic, and by brotastic I mean awful.

    Warner Bros. CEO Agrees With NBC Passing on Wonder Woman

    "I can't help but wonder what would've happened if Kelley and his crew had released some promo photos of Adrianne Palicki in the classic outfit instead of the ones that were shown off to the public. I'm not exactly wild about it, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it wouldn't have been as...
