You are entirely right. That is a really prevalent statistic. Since it is so controversial, it's being quoted everywhere! That or it's utter bullshit, to borrow a phrase. Cite your sources ;)

So, this is entirely against forum rules, but I don't really post that much so here goes. Spec Ops is $20 right now and it comes with both bioshocks. If you want to support devs like this, buy it now...

I don't think that similar education costs substantively more in the US than it does abroad. It costs a third of the price for me to attend Princeton as it would to go to Cambridge (two very comparable schools). Once you factor in costs of living, I'd say the US has the best institutions for...

Why do you think English is plain? The amount of vocab available to us is monstrous compared to most other languages (~600 000 compared to ~200 000 for German and ~100 000 for French), it has huge variance in etymology, and the grammar allows for wildly divergent methods of relaying identical...

For the moviephiles and anyone else interested in hearing the other side of the matter, here is a very good documentary on the subject. http://www.missrepresentation.org/

So I didn't read through the entire thread *gasp* but I thought this may be a perspective from a few prominent modern "feminists" that may temper the views some people have about what a feminist activist really is. Newsom has at other times talked about the objectification of men in media, but...

I played rebel assault constantly as a child. It was horrible, but for some reason I loved it. Then I discovered Tie Fighter. F-ing awesome game. OP: Probably Putt-Putt Goes to the Zoo. Didn't live up to it's predecessors at all.

Well, I said it should happen, so here it is. The forums seem to have been extra sexually charged the past few days with the relationship threads and all, so maybe we could do something about it! This thread serves a dual purpose both as a sort of beta for any future dating threads as well...

Does anyone else sense an Escapist dating thread coming on? Not entirely a joke, it's just crazy enough to work. OP: One. Nothing to be excited about. High School girls are pretty shallow, but I'm off to Princeton in the fall, and the people there are many things, but not shallow.

I'm pretty sure Pokemon Yellow counts as the third release of the series and that is by far my favorite.

https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=croteam It takes like 5 seconds to find out. OT: I would tend to believe that they've realized that their DRM is absolute bullcrap and they want to try something different. Whether that something else will be better or worse is yet...

Whoops :(

Deus Ex is entirely worth it. I played it in what I assume to be similarly uncomfortable surroundings, but I enjoyed every minute.

First, thank you for bringing some civility to the ME3 discussions. It has been much-needed. OP: I think Bioware is scrambling a bit because they made a mistake (not that the endings were the worst things ever, the quality is irrelevant in this particular use of "mistake", just a mistake in...
