I wanted a debate, not a six minute rant.

That's what I'm also surmising, that the hardware in "next-gen" consoles can't hold a candle to most gaming PCs built within the last few years. Not even the high-end rigs, even the mid-range rigs. Consoles bid low on parts quality in order to compete on pricepoint, with pressure between the...

More Evil Alex please. That is all.

Read about this today on The Mary Sue ( http://www.themarysue.com/game-jam-sexism/ ). Just really glad that the "contestants" teamed up against the producers of this show and called them out on tropes, sexism, and not even having a full understanding of what developers do. Plus, f*** Mountain...

Was this always the intent, or did the original actors just get credit snubbed?

Interesting fact: if you die on the climb to Everest, your corpse will just stay up there indefinitely, frozen to the mountain. There are a lot of corpses up there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_died_climbing_Mount_Everest

If I wanted to get shilled on a F2P game with incredulous timers that take money to bypass, I'd play Tiny towers (or Tiny Death Star). Lamentably, you can't leave a rating unless you install the app. Fortunately, I installed it on an old phone I no longer use from the Play web site. And...

Exactly. Not only does it NOT void the warranty, Sony gives you instructions on their web site on how to do it, and load the OS so the thing will run. Just he same as the PS3. It was one of the first things I did to my PS3, because I could, and I wanted more than just the default 60GB space (at...

I get notifications from Twitch whenever The Escapist goes live with a livestream. So today I see: escapistmagazine just went live 'Mining with The Escapist' on Twitch The title was slightly vague, but I think: it could just be Minecraft, but Terraria just came out with a major PC update...

.... apparently the video's been taken down. Which is odd, since I got it from Terraria's official FB page [https://www.facebook.com/TerrariaOfficial]. I wonder if it was not supposed to be put up? Or if Toby's grating (to some) eccentricities were too much for the Terraria guys to associate...

Toby's an eccentric one, but if you can tolerate his persona, he's started a Let's Play for v1.2, which might fulfill your fix until Oct. 1st. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4vGeDF2lZU

I'm personally interested in a few things: *** SPOILERS *** * Changes in the way Corruption and Hallow spread * Making items that let you hose down entire sections with Forest/ Hallow/ Corruption/ Mushroom/ etc. biomes * All the improved biomes (improved Winter/ Frozen biome, imporved...

Terraria, for the uninitiated, is a single-player / multiplayer PC game that was also recently released for PS3 and XBox 360. It's a 2D sandbox game with crafting, progression, etc., in a similar vein to Minecraft but with more of a 2D Super Nintendo feel. It also inspired games such as Edge of...

Dear "Nex", I'm not sure if you wrote an article or op-ed piece. Although it's OK to draw conclusions near the end of an article (as many Escapist writers do), you lead readers to believe that your conclusions is the only plausible conclusion. Personally, I find it more plausible that the...

Since there's no forum for discussing the Escapist website or social outlets (FB, Twitter, YouTube, etc.), I'll just review one of their recent FB posts here, I suppose. Lately, the Escapist has run a lot of articles discussing, and overal deriding, the objectification of women in video...
