    Poll: What do you do on "the throne"?

    I've got agree with all of the poop-and-goers. I never understood the people who have the time to read on the toilet. I mean, have they lost their muscle control and need to wait for gravity to do the work or are they making a life-sized clay baby and need the time to dilate for birth.

    What do you do when not on the Escapist?

    Do you want a blog or something? I'm just wondering if anyone actually cares what anyone else does when they're not on here... I guess when I'm not on here I'm either at work or entertaining my girlfriend... or letting her entertain me. Failing that, I've got a DVD player, an Xbox 360 and my...

    Poll: So what's your Sin?

    I'd have to say that my sin is definitely lust. To be honest, the seven deadly sins were just a device engineered to make us feel bad about being human and constantly seek forgiveness for the nature we were born with. I don't see the problem in having a little sin in your personality. Or...

    Poll: achivement systems

    To be honest, Xbox LIVE more or less started the achievement system and everyone else copied. I don't mean copied the idea - I mean literally made an identical copy of it. Besides a change in what the achievements are called (medals, awards or whatever...) and a change in font, there is no...

    People who think they are Vampires

    Some people just can't cope with the idea of being ordinary. It would be pretty awesome to be a vampire in the supernatural sense but that doesn't mean we should go around pretending to be one.

    Poll: Fallout: London must be made.

    Apply the stereotyping and over-the-top accents of the gung-ho American characters of Fallout 3 to an equivalent based in the United Kingdom. Based on the Mr Handy robot and the typical American assumption that London and England are the same thing, I can safely assume that after two...

    Natural Selection Can Suck It.

    For a nuclear holocaust, I've got to agree with those who've said that it'll pretty much be random who survives and who doesn't. Natural selection is the basis of evolution and I fail to see how the "fittest" humans can be any more successful in forcing a million years of evolution into a couple...

    Top 5 Worst Games of All Time

    To be honest, I don't really think I've played any games that I hated enough to make a list out of. It might be down to my laid back nature or the fact that I don't play a game I dislike until I hate it. I do tend to dislike one genre though, and that's racing games. Unless, of course, it's a...

    Poll: Does the use of a sniper rifle excuse camping?

    Is camping acceptable? It's a hard question to answer without any personal bias influencing your argument. It is not an illegal practice, though some games punish it, but it is, in my opinion, very unsporting unless you have a sniper rifle, which I shall mention later. Whereas other players...

    What type of soldier would you be?

    Given the choice and based on my airsoft style, I would definitely be a support gunner. If you're constantly shooting at the enemy then it makes it very hard for them to shoot back and very easy for the rest of your squad to get the drop on them. The M249 or M60 makes a very good support weapon...

    Best/Favourate Anti-Zombie weapon?

    The ultimate weapon against zombies is Lynx deodourant. If the advertisements here in the United Kingdom are to be believed, a man wearing this product will be swamped with women and thereby have a force field comparable in protective ability to that of the legendary cat force field. Failing...

    What Defines a God?

    The answer to this question depends entirely on whether you mean a god or God. The use of the capital letter threw me a little. A god is harder to define than God, because God seems to be whatever the masses want him to be and a god is whatever it is regardless. I used to like the belief...

    Microsoft Facing Halo 3 Class Action Suit

    This is typical of the sue-and-be-sued culture that infests the United States and has, in recent years, infected the United Kingdom. Everyone wants something for nothing and when an individual with no self-respect and even less intelligence emerges on the scene, this is the kind of thing you can...
