I haven't been here for over a year. What's changed that I need to know about?

[Casual Shinji]

We all got to ride dinosaurs, it was awesome!

Too bad you missed it.

 

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

Apart from the general increase of insanity (see above for an example)

Nothing has majorly changed that hasn't already been mentioned in this thread (baring course Daystar Clarion and Vault 101's mating ritual.)

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

The layout changed.... but as you have posted a thread, I imagine you already knew that...

It has been said already, but needs it again... The Brovengers are here now, and you, citizen, will be safe from harm now. Don't thank us, it's our job!

I would advice you to read the Code of Conduct again (easy to find from the drop down menu in Forums) since that under went some changes pior to the overal site apperance change. Also we got a health bar in your profile page so you don't exactly get banned straight away (the olde warning, suspension and then banned).

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

1. Rape in games
2. Sexism in games
3. The place of women in gaming and geek culture
4. Mass Effect 3

dont forget:

5. guns
6. EA
7. valve/steam

Pretty much this, this, and this. Trends come, are run into the ground, and return a few months later, and WHY CAN'T THEY STAY IN RELIGION AND POLITICS IF THEY'RE RELATED TO POLITICS WAAAAH

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

We got a few new mods, may be worth checking the list on the Code of Conduct page so you know who to contact if you see something really bad that you don't want to leave to just reports.
Oh, and we were given the power to make the lives of certain Brovengers full of Beiber.
Or anyone, really, but mostly Brovengers who think I'm bluffing.
Like Daystar Clarion. He think's he's so big.
If that were true, he's be DayTsar Clarion.

 

[arc101]

On second thought, let us not go to The Escapist... 'Tis a silly place.

Filled with warring cults, roving bands of posters and nuclear wasteland(R&P.) It's basically a Fallout game.

Returning was a lot like this...

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Be careful Daystar... your pride may be your downfall.

It's okay, it's mock pride. That doesn't count

Greyfox, why you gotta be like that?

I thought we were friends...

 

[SonicWaffle]

What great posters have left, who's been banned, why, what new video series should I check out and anything else that you think someone who has been off the forums for around 15 months should know.

I came out of retirement and started posting again recently, and I'm fucking amazing.

That's really all you need to know.

 

[SonicWaffle]

Dude you wanna be in the Brovengers?

What is it these "brovengers" do? What are you "brovenging"?

I seem to recall a thread about this a year or so back, and paying fuck all attention

 

[arc101]

Oh mighty lord, when did podcasts come out?!

From the episode I heard, you didn't miss much.

OT RaktheUndead is gone.

Feminism/Gun and Gender threads are all the rage.

Daystar has a group called the brovengers, it's awesome. Daystar is a forum god, at least recognition wise.

I arrived and made 8K posts. Hazy, Binnsyboy and I make "Crews Missiles" where we flood a thread with images of Terry Crews and Billy Dee Williams. Not intentionally of course and only on stupid threads like spambots.

As a present, because I failed to reply, have my favourite gif.

 

[SonicWaffle]

Don't listen to her. She is a woman, and if the forums are to be believed, she is a foul temptress, who shall lead you to sin.

LIES! feeble man is only jeolous of my internet ego

So, this being "led into sin" thing...how do I get me some of that? Sin is pretty fun, and I'm told you get to stay up as late as you want when you're an official Bad Boy.

In short, we goof around, act silly, have fun and post Nathan Fillion gifs. We have, in fact, archived all Fillion gifs we come across, should the need to use them arise.

We act as the anti-anti fun brigade

 

[Galletea]

I am now your Lord and Saviour.

Do not heed anyone speaking the contrary, for they are smelly and lack acceptable table manners.

True story.

[sub][sub]Suppose you could listen to the Podcasts...[/sub][/sub]

Well as you can see, Daystar happened. And with him appeared a multitude of thread de-railings and random gifs. Nothing to be concerned about. Do not give him too many cookies. Seriously, don't do it.
Other than that nothing especially mind blowing. It's still pretty cool aboard the good ship escapist, now slightly sleeker and with new fancy buttons.

sin?...hmmm..there are many sinful things one can do

1. do an "all nighter"

2.eat all the snacks you find in the back of the pantry that were ment for your school lunches

3. write rude things about your teachers on the bathroom wall

4. drink soft drink out of a glass bottle because its cool like adults do and you can pretend its alchohol

then your on your way to being a true sinner

You posted a picture of a cute kitten. I'll give you a bit of peace and quiet for that.
Say, until I get back from walking the dog. In the rain. I'm not even meant to walk the dog, but certain parasites don't do their chores...
And I'm only walking the dog because it is raining.

OT: Never trust Daystar. He's a dog.

 

[SonicWaffle]

1. do an "all nighter"

Done it.

2.eat all the snacks you find in the back of the pantry that were ment for your school lunches

Done it in combination with #1.

3. write rude things about your teachers on the bathroom wall

But I like my teacher, she's nice :-(

4. drink soft drink out of a glass bottle because its cool like adults do and you can pretend its alchohol

Where the hell am I going to find soft drinks in glass bottles in this day and age?!

then your on your way to being a true sinner

Got to be honest, I ws expecting you to be a little more risque than this. I was sharpening my knives and covering condoms in sand in preparation...

Hmm. Well, other than the gifs, that sounds pretty cool.

I'm assuming you never go near the R&P section then...

You can trust me!

Spoiler: Look at this face!

Does that look like an untrustworthy face to you?
