    #003 - Brunch

    Based on my (admittedly sketchy) understanding of mental illness, the fact that she knows she's hallucinating means that the word "crazy" is even less applicable to Erin than to most real-life sufferers. It was already established in CM that all her medication does is make the hallucinations...

    #001 - Twice Daily

    Oh wow! This looks like it's going to be everything I always wanted from Critical Miss! Those early days where you showed Erin actually struggling with mental illness? That was COMPELLING. I'm psyched!

    Escapists, we are gathered here today...

    My dad's NES would probably still work if I bothered to try. 'Course, the only cartridge we've got for it is the Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt combo cart, and I don't know whether or not my mom got rid of the zapper. We've also still got a Pentium II, Windows 98 PC sitting in our basement. We...

    Humble Bundle: Is It the One Thing PC has over Xbox 360 and PS3?

    It's been mentioned, but the fact that that usually comes with completely customizable controls hasn't. The thing that I'm the most flabbergasted the OP didn't consider is MOOOOODDS!! Holy crap, man. I bought Skyrim last Christmas for PS3, and now that I'm building a gaming PC I'm considering...

    My secondary reaction was "wait, how would that even work?"

    Seriously Nintendo fans, enough with all the hate.

    Yeah, supers-only KO's don't make a lot of sense. Also, OP, you're overreacting. The biggest assholes among us are usually the most vocal about their stupid opinions; it's part of what makes them assholes. While I do think they did far too little to differentiate PSASBR (jeez, what an unwieldly...

    Taking franchises in new directions

    To the detractors, most of you are either misunderstanding or strawmanning me. I'm NOT advocating in-name-only sequels and such; I'm talking about cases where the defining aspects of a series could get more mileage if some of the other aspects were changed. ^This is the kind of thing I'm talking...

    Taking franchises in new directions

    What video game franchise do you think is sitting on untapped potential, for itself or the industry as a whole? More specifically, what kind of spin-off/much-different-sequel do you think should happen, and for what series? I think there should be a pokemon game in which the battle system is...

    Why can't you store data on the DS itself, instead of the game cartriges?

    As for the DS specifically, well...this: That said, now that the technology has advanced, two things: 1. If the 3DS doesn't have the ability to copy game saves freely between game carts, onboard storage, and SD cards, then I'm disappointed (though not surprised). 2. How about bringing back...

    The Big Picture: Rock of Ages

    Is it weird that I think that the existence of the Cosmos remake is the most important thing to take away from this? That shit's gonna be AWESOME!

    Unpopular Opinions

    Not so. As pointed out by Cracked.com, the truly successful are very smart and very driven and very lucky. Add in the fact that "Republican" has basically become synonymous with "pandering to idiots," and I'm confident that the net effect would be positive.

    Unpopular Opinions

    This made me laugh. And it's a valid point, to boot :D Anyway: I think that our efforts to create a safe environment for ourselves to live in have resulted in a stupider population overall because it's now less likely for stupidity to get a person killed. I am skeptical of our ability...
