    Canvey Island school bans triangle shaped flapjacks, health and safety hazard

    You can't make this stuff up! The flapjack is half-baked! Ahhh priceless. What amused me even more is that lower down: Yes that would be the issue Captain Obvious, ballistic flapjacks. Reminds me of the time someone threw a buttered roll at my eye.... Yes that does sound like he...

    GoG System Shock 2 setup.exe crash bug

    Thank you all for your responses. It took several re-downloads but somehow it just started working on its own! Such is the nature of computer beasts. Captcha: point blank. Says it all really.

    GoG System Shock 2 setup.exe crash bug

    Hello to the kind and helpful Escapists, I thought I would set up this thread for anyone having trouble with the System Shock 2 game from GoG.com. Like alot of people, I was so pleased when it was available (finally!) and eagerly downloaded it. As is the rule with the internet, it is never...

    Can you beat him? Akinator Web game

    It got Jeremey Renner first time, pretty good! Though I think Avengers characters were frequently searched for. It could not for the life of it get Rachel Weiz however! Gotcha!

    Can you suggest to me a space mercenary game?

    DarkStar One is probably the closest to what you describe, fly around in a ship, shoot things, upgrade your ship... if you can stand the hilariously bad in game cinmeas then its well worth a go through it. Available on PC and Xbox 360 Edit: Also, Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. It's a more...

    Your Most Anticipated Game For This Year

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution hands down, I was won over from the very first reveal trailer. The game's aesthetic is incredible, the cyberpunk edge with all the blacks and golds, brilliant. I fully intend to enjoy attempting stealth over and over and ending up going in guns blazing...much like...

    Seafaring and Navy Games

    Escapists, I have been working my way through a boxset of an English drama series based on C.S. Forester's Hornblower series. Now being a captain of a sailing ship really does look like lots of fun, but I cant for the life of me think of any where it is possible. There is Total War...

    Your left index finger is a gun that has just fired

    Great, I just blew a sizeable portion of my brain all over the ceiling, I needed that! It's amazing how many people have done exactly the same, It seems most of us spend our time in front of a computer scratching our.... head.

    UK Atheists Hope to Eliminate Jedi Population

    It's really missing the point. It is not that people do not take religion seriously enough to assign themselves an organised group, rather, by saying one is a Jedi, they are essentially telling the government "none of your damn business" and, despite being an aetheist myself, I wholeheartedly...

    The first thing that pops into your head

    "I hate it when my hair sticks to my lip-gloss, so not superhero." It was in my head because I literally just heard it as I came onto this page. Anyone who guesses where its from, I will crown King/Queen of the Obscure Quotes.

    What do you use for a computer background??

    Currently, it's Helen Magnus from Sanctuary. It's not a brilliant picture, but for lack of any other one for that series:

    Stargate Universe Producers Not Giving Up on Show

    I will not be sorry to see this one go. It removed all the adventure and humour from the show, all in the name of appealing to "non" sci fi fans. 'Dark' 'edgy', these are not words to be used in the same breath as the stargate franchise. Dramatic yes, suspensful, emotional, but not pandering to...
