    The Big Picture: E3-mageddon: Crossover

    [Insert everything that everyone above me has already said] This is why I stopped watching The Game Overthinker, even though it was once one of my favorite discussion shows about video games. This, right here.

    Tips on useful games for teaching english?

    So this might be a bit different. I've been employed as an english tutor by a chinese family, and it's going to be my job to teach their 8 year old son spoken english. I figured it could be an idea to try and integrate some video games into the teaching process as those should be both fun for...

    Poll: The Wii U, two months later

    I think it is far too soon to say. I'm going to wait at least 2 years and see how the thing does before I start thinking about buying a Wii U

    British Scientists Make Gasoline From Air

    Hold on - sorry to be the buzzkill, but what about the law of conservation of energy? You would have to invest a ton of energy into producing this synthetic fuel and, at best, you should only be able to get the same amount of energy back when combust it (which in is impossible in...

    Incest?

    Well, one thing that annoys me more then anything is when other people tell me what to do or not to do, when the specific action in question has absolutly no affect on anyone other then myself. So, to avoid hypocrocy, if a brother and sister would like to... do things, go ahead. I guess. Having...

    Poll: What is power?

    I remember my teacher once gave a possible definition of power that I thought summarized the concept quite well. Power: The ability to, through some type of influence, make other people carry out actions that they otherwise would not do. (or something like that)

    Poll: Random stranger is drowning, and you can save him easily

    Well, I'd help him/her since, under the circumstances, not doing so would mean that I am actively making a choice that leads to another persons death - which is basically the same as murder. Also, what is up with all the threads about people and animals drowning here on the escapist all of...

    Poll: Do you plan on buying the next generation of consoles?

    It is waaay to early to say for certain, but with Microsoft bieng stuck on the Kinect and Nintendo is doing whatever the [insert curse word] they are doing, I'm leaning towards a Ps4. That said, I have in fact simply not been play a lot of games lately, and almost all of them have been on my...

    Poll: Are you a feminist?

    Well, I believe all men and women should be treated equally, so I guess I'm a feminist?...

    Heroes you yelled "YOU IDIOT!" at.

    It seems no one has picked him yet, so I will just say one name. Eragon. I don't think I need to elaborate on this one.

    Why Do YOU Buy Used?

    Simple, my bank account currently holds, let's see.... 138,26kr (swedish crowns), and a new game costs about 600kr. I don't think I need to elaborate on this one.

    Poll: Do you care about "flag burning"?

    I don't think I would be offended if somone set my country's flag on fire, but I would definitely not be indifferent about it. I think my reaction would be something like "Wha, why did you do that? Ok, ok, slow down - what did we do to make you this angry at us?"

    21st Century Children and Respect

    I think you are generalizing way too much OP. You cannot judge all kids of an entire nation based only on the behaviour of the once you have meet. Also, I just have to add that you made me facepalm when I read the line "...the problems with today's youth."

    Poll: Your opinion on our game idea? (Altru Ego Games)

    Spaceship pew-pew-pew multiplayer. Sure, sounds fun, why not? I fact, when you think about it, why have it not allready been done yet?... I think there was some really old Star Wars game on that PC several years ago that was kind of like that, though none in recent memory as far as I know...
