    Escape to the Movies: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

    One thing I have to say is I really enjoyed Thorin's growing obsession with the Arkenstone, the treatment was a strong reference to the Silmarils which it drew very strongly from it. I'd definitely say it subtlety pushes the "arkenstone is a silmaril" theory, something I find interesting from a...

    The Elder Scrolls Online Will Have Subscription Fees

    Ya, if they wanted my business they would've had to convince me to pay. I've paid for stuff in Secret World after all. Going subscription means they'll never see my business.

    Gay Olympics....Wtf!!

    That sir is called privilege, people should attempt to socialize with a wide variety of other people, but they should also have setting where they can feel people will intrinsically accept them for who they are. If you're a white straight anglo-saxxon protestant, in america that's considered the...

    Fake Geek Girls

    I don't know the answer to that question and I'm a guy. It's pathetic how people act like you don't have sufficient "nerd cred" if your area of geek culture doesn't match theirs', but with women they're presumed whereas a guy wouldn't ask me without some concrete reason.

    Microsoft Prohibits Gamers From Cashing in on YouTube

    Poor business decision, the competitive community tends to drive sustainability for such games which in turn drives additional sales, all they're doing is cutting off their nose to spite their face.

    Have you ever posed as a girl in a MMORPG?

    Does league count? Did it once when asked point blank, and suddenly my team became rather dickish. Was duoing with a friend who I discussed this with before, did it to prove a point

    Do you guy's talk this much about Feminism outside the Escapist?

    It's because gamers like to rage about how feminists are trying to destroy games, it's a common topic in any sort of nerd culture venue.

    A series of questions to those who want change in female game roles.

    Again, most people are missing the point. It isn't even the clothes, not really. It's the things like poses, idle animations and the like. For male characters, these convey their personality, for female characters they convey... that they're checking themselves out in an invisible full-length...

    So... Uh... What the hell, Australia?!?!

    Well for MOST islamic countries, there's very tight restrictions on speech, if you intend to do a movie it has to be approved by the government. That in turn means that movies that come out in that country are essentially endorsed by the government at least tacitly in that it falls within the...

    Critics seem to hate movies based on kid's cartoons..

    This thread was already over with this. Frankly none of the examples the OP mentioned were even remotely good movies. There are a few exceptions, but they're rare since most are intended for kids, and everyone knows that kids don't know anything about quality, they'll watch anything (yet...
