    Poll: Do you lower the difficulty setting if you find a game too hard? (Somewhat Skyrim related)

    I know those words are in English, and that they form a sentence, but that may as well have been written in Swedish for all that I understood about it.

    You first "**** This" Moment in Gaming

    FFXII. At the temple in the desert about to go inside and get the phlebotinum flavour of the month. Had been extremely frustrated with gameplay up until that point and with the main character (f**k you Vaan, I wanted to play as your brother. He was a far more identifiable and sympathetic...

    Poll: Do you lower the difficulty setting if you find a game too hard? (Somewhat Skyrim related)

    F**k no, I toughen up and take another crack from a different direction. Experiment until you find your path to success. You don't improve if you just make things easier when you're stuck and having trouble. And when you do succeed, the effort put into your trial makes the victory even sweeter.

    Let's Plays?

    What does the Escapist community think about Let's Plays? Do you watch them at all? If you do, then what LP's do you tend to watch? Recent releases that you won't be able to play for a while, games you're stuck on and need to see how someone else gets through it, the hilarious ones full of...

    Poll: Are You Cancelling Your Credit Card over the Steam Hack?

    I always used Paypal for my transactions on Steam. Not sure if it would have been possible for the hackers to get at my card number through that, so I'll wait and find out until I change my card. I also swapped my money over from the account my card is connected to to a hidden savings account...

    Poll: Do you think Deus Ex Human Revolution is a good game

    Good? It is definitely a good game. Great? Well, no. DE:HR fails to do what it wanted to do and even though it is a beautiful looking game, there's just too much that was promised that went undelivered to really call it great. The game that we were supposed to have was an action RPG, but what...

    *Boom* Headshot!

    Because headshots are the most satisfying kills ever. Wade in under a load of fire, blindly firing your gun at enemies hoping you get them before they get you, or stay in a safe place several hundred meters away and calmly scoop out their brains with bullets? It's generally safer, practical and...

    Mass Effect 3 Beta Leak

    Well, crap. Turns out everything is connected to Origin. Looks like I'm going to have to get a crack for ME3 before I play it.

    BBC: Does the PC have a future?

    Well, it makes sense when you think about it. PCs from a few years ago could hold gigabytes of information, more than enough for someone that uses it for work or internet trawling alone. The PC is starting to become a specialist machine designed for high-performance tasks and holding massive...

    Poll: Have you played a visual novel?

    Only the Phoenix Wright series. But damn, were those worthwhile. Great games.

    Most useless weapons in gaming

    The grenade launcher from L4D2. Yes, it can blow zombies to tiny little pieces. Commons only though. And that's really only useful if they're bunched together in a really large group, seeing as how the explosive radius is extremely small, and reload time is ridiculous. It can only 1-shot the...
