    So I'm doing an analysis of this forum for an assignment

    Do they read PMs as well? I originally intended for people to PM me with these answers, but I guess the mods must be looking over those, too.

    So I'm doing an analysis of this forum for an assignment

    Thanks so much to everyone who's responded so far :D Sorry I haven't replied to any of the PMs - I keep getting an error saying I can't send messages via a proxy, even when I'm using my mobile. Yahtzee sure is a massive draw for this place - I came to The Escapist through Zero Punctuation as...

    So I'm doing an analysis of this forum for an assignment

    Fair question, but it's kind of open-ended. It just involves analysing the community and how it works, what it's about, who uses it, how it's moderated. My reply to Barbas below will answer the second part of your question. That's also fair. Here are the questions I've sent to one person who...

    So I'm doing an analysis of this forum for an assignment

    Hey everyone. This is a little out of the blue, but I'm doing a Masters in journalism and one of my modules is Social Media and Community Engagement. For an assignment over the holidays we have to write an analysis of two communities online, one journalistic and one non-journalistic. I've...

    Sam Raimi (Sort of) Accepts Blame for Spider-Man 3

    I'll say - I had my face in my hands during that sequence, I seriously couldn't watch it. If he'd done that, the plot might have turned out more like this [https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2572049/1/It-Has-Always-Been-You] fan-written [https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2595154/1/Enquiring-Minds]...

    Voice of Chuckie and Dexter, Christine Cavanaugh, Passes Away

    That's so sad :( :( :( I loved those cartoons, and Babe as well. I didn't realise the voice actress was the same, but now it all makes sense. She did such fantastic work. Now I'm thinking about the 'Omlette du Fromage' episode from a voice-acting perspective, and wow - imagine only being able to...

    Twitch Plays Pokemon Weekly Update

    I don't know, to me there seem to be a lot of memes from Crystal, or at least a lot of fanart and fan-canon. Maybe that's not the same, but I've been really impressed with the depth and creativity of a lot of the fan contributions. Without the fifty different versions of "HAIL LORD HELIX!" we've...

    Zero Punctuation: Strider

    Actually he did, he said the words "If male" right after that, and they also appeared as text. Was anyone else weirded out by the fact that pictures of dolphins were shown every time Yahtzee mentioned masturbation? Or is this a running gag I haven't caught onto?

    What's the best game you ever got for free?

    If you count games that came free with a PC, my favourite is definitely 'Goosebumps: Escape From Horrorland', a 1996 tie-in game with the 'Goosebumps' book series which is actually really really good and creepy. I had hours of fun gameplay out of it with my brother and cousins growing up, and a...

    Thirty greatest video games that time forgot

    I played Croc as a kid too! I was terrible at it though so it didn't really take. (I was more like 7 or 8, and I've never been good at platform games). I found Spyro easier to play. I'd like to have another go at Croc if only for the nostalgia, but I think we got rid of our copy. I also had the...
