    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    I joined the Escapist for the exclusive content and laid-back forums. Now most of the content is gone and since Gamergaters flocked here, the forums turned to shit. Unless things change, it's probably time to move on.

    Escapist Editors in the Midst of an Exodus?! -Updated-

    If the site does go down, then the obvious spot for all of us to rendezvous is 4chan. :D

    Jimquisition: The 100% Objective Review

    Most of the comments in here are too opinionated for my taste. The only good comment is an objective comment. Since I'm clearly the arbiter of commenting, everyone needs to conform to my standard of objectivity or you've made a bad comment. Did that sound stupid to you? Those of you who...

    Let's talk heavy metal.

    As a Metalhead of roughly 35 years, it blows my mind at how many sub-genres of metal there are nowadays. How is it that I've never heard of Edguy? It's like finding previously unreleased cd's of Iron Maiden. I don't know how many videos I started listening to that start out great, then...

    So...what games are ya'll playing?

    I almost gave up on the challenges in Arkham Asylum due to one rage-inducing timed extreme challenge. I said to myself I'll try one more time, then I'm done and I ended up completing it with 1 second left. I had a much easier time with the Arkham City challenges. I suggest looking at some...

    Is marijuana bad for you?

    I know I'm in the minority, but that is my stance. People are going to drugs whether they're illegal or not. The War on Drugs is a waste of money and lives.

    Is marijuana bad for you?

    I've been smoking weed almost everyday for 35 years and I haven't had any health issues related to smoking weed. I also know several people that been have smoking longer than I have, with no apparent issues as well. I know it's anecdotal, but I can only speak about my experiences. As long...

    You said it better than I did, which is usually the case with your comments.

    BREAKING: Women of #GamerGate Make Breakthrough on HuffPo Live

    Has it ever occurred to you that people "hate" asshole gamers because of their actions and it's not because journalists point out that there are asshole gamers?

    You don't have to be afraid of taking a public stance against #GamerGate.

    There's no need to be afraid about opposing Gamergate. There's plenty of reasons why I don't. 1. How it started with 4chan and the harassment of Zoe Quinn. 2. The dishonesty of some saying it didn't start there. Even the guy who started the Gamergate resources thread admits it started with...

    The Escapist's General Manager and Adam Baldwin support GG, attack the entire political left

    I made that comment based on another comment. I read the article and Baldwin didn't call the left a "force of evil." I was wrong. He's still mock-worthy for his tweet about Obama and other tweets he's made. If he wants to throw out insults and call people jerks and assholes, I could easily...

    The Escapist's General Manager and Adam Baldwin support GG, attack the entire political left

    This is utter crap. No one is trying to silence all dissent. A small group of people on the left doesn't compare to the hatred from people on the right. Go to any conservative website and read the comments. It's like a /pol nowadays.

    The Escapist's General Manager and Adam Baldwin support GG, attack the entire political left

    Social justice is absolutely a typical stance of the left. Gay marriage is the perfect example of how the left has fought for social justice. Just like women's suffrage and civil rights before.
