That's kind of embarrassing. The site's publisher is relegated to just "a blogger" and this here is apparently "his blog". Also, they totally got me with the comparison to red and blue paper glasses. 'Cause that's the way I remember 3D from the olden days! It's not like the Escapist's audience...

Er... you having a bad day or something? Alternatively, have you been bitten by someone named Pachter lately? Used to be, the news section was all about the facts, not staff opinions-presented-as-facts.

That bit at the end, Mr. Baker. That's what makes you not simply great, but awesome. Also: the references to places you've been before and the way you tie it all up in a greater story. It's an immense pleasure. The only thing lacking for this to be perfect are more photos. Show us more from...

I didn't expect the story about Sofia to come out so quickly. A great read, and the idea for the column is fantastic. What I hadn't thought about when I read your previous installments is how a story like this could be illuminating not just for the people living outside the countries you visit...

Do look up the word "research" some time before you die. It may change your entire life, not to mention the quality of your awful work.

You do realize with continuously excellent writing like this we're going to demand a regular column, right? It's past time, I'd say!

Quality TV reviews interest me very much as I find myself watching more and more TV shows in the past couple of years. I was sad to see a series trying to do just that didn't make the cut, but after watching it and reading the author's comments here I have to agree that it's probably for the...

I was confused at first, because the article was in no way differentiated from a news story, but got pleasantly surprised afterwards. Still, I do believe your decision making on the issue is poor. Adaptations are just another way to get into something. Do you want to see an adaptation? Go see...

I LIKE IT! Ahem. It works great as a bridge between the video and the weekly issue parts of the site. And Bob's certainly a great guy to fill the role: even more fun and cerebral content from him is always welcome. I'm a bit concerned by the wide range of listed potential topics, but...

SadakoMoose, ffs-dontcare, meganmeave, Serenegoose, Hawk of Battle, KarmicToast: You give me hope, guys. Everyone else: How about you try and look at the bigger picture? Which would not be the sullied reputation of our holy games industry, but the waste of somebody's life in jail. When that...

Yes, a young mother, due to whatever reason, murdered her own baby. My point is that no matter what's the exact nature of this reason, it's a tragic one, and to reduce that to a simple "she's evil" is... well, I can't find a word for that. That woman needs care and compassion, and her lawyer...

Seriously, asshole? A mother. Lost her child. By her own hand. That's a terrible tragedy and you're talking about "evil" and it "justifying itself"? It's not a comic book, you idiot! It's real! Things aren't that black and white in life. And what the fuck are you doing, using you...

Why, that is obviously silly, sir! Surely you mean to say that if your cover's destroyed then a layer of depth is, in fact, removed from the game, right?

I agree, digital distribution won't be such a big deal for Take-Two. That's because they simply don't get it. They fail spectacularly at it.

So now paying more money to 2K is some kind of privilege reserved for the console owners? Right. Well, I guess I'll save mine for more Valve games, then. No big deal. See, some developers actually use DLC to get even more sales for their original titles. They're smart that way. And why should I...
