Only just now got around to revisiting the Escapist proper. I had to dust off my old account to say "Good to have you back, Russ."

My friends and I were hoping for a new Planescape module/campaign setting for DnD 5e. We were gravely disappointed.

These people realize that Niantic aren't sitting in their office clicking Pokemon into existence in their yards, right? That the process is not only automated, but randomized (and weighted in such a way that large, public spaces, such as public parks, have higher-density spawns)? That's like...

Don't worry, the terrorism is just a red herring.

I understand this is awesome and relatively important to the events at hand, but I feel like an awful lot of time has passed here, when there's supposed to be a pretty clear time limit. On the other hand, anime physics means anime time, where "five minutes" means four or five 30-min episodes...

Rhyhorn in a swimming pool isn't that weird. It CAN learn Surf, after all.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight: Metroid-vania mixed with Dark Souls, a cute little dungeon crawler with deliberate difficulty. Watched Cry play it before his... "medical adventure", and wanted to try the game. Day of the Tentacle: Remastered: Been looking to get this one. Missed its...

True. Something is better than nothing. Pity games like Azure Striker Gunvolt and 20XX don't exist, or his original works weren't recently re-released as some sort of MegaMan Legacy Collection or currently available on Nintendo's WiiU/DS shop, because that could be rather embarrassing for him.

Hey, wait! where's...? Oh, right... Ratchet and Clank, Saints Row (3 & 4), and Dead Rising are third person shooters. Oh well, there's still Painkiller and Ziggurat. On a semi-related note: Other games in other genres to play while angry: Assault Android Cactus Dynasty Warriors (or...

Don't worry, we don't actually need your body intact, only the egg cells. In fact, assuming IVF retains its current viability and success rate, it's actually easier to repopulate from many males and a single female than it is from a single male and many females. (Though, genetic diversity will...

I'm gonna go against the grain of gritty, grey action and suggest Elite Beat Agents. It'd be damn-near impossible to pull off well (like most comedies), but a story about a group of super-sentai secret-agent cheerleaders helping people through their ridiculous, cartoon problems using the power...

No. If you're agonizing this much over which game you need to buy, you don't need to buy a game. Save your money.

More games with great soundtracks: Final Fantasy: any of them, especially VI and IX Undertale Any Supergiant game: Bastion, Transistor, (Pyre) Brutal Legend Mega Man: any of them Shovel Knight Street Fighter 2 Turbo Any Jeremy Soule game: Elder Scrolls series, Guild Wars series, etc...

"Regressing" implies that internet discussions had any cultural value or significance to begin with. As someone who has been around since before the so-called "Information Age", I can assure you, that is not the case. The only change is that they're using slightly different slurs and epithets to...

Except the ones canonically constructed or magically formed from the ether, every anime character has parents. Most of them have little to no presence in the characters' lives/adventures, but they do/did exist.
