    Escape to the Movies: Battleship

    They also had one of the best takes on Clayface I've ever seen (ok, so it's Two-Face's dynamic when they were unable to use Two-Face, but even so, it felt somehow better than that to me).

    Homophobisms

    My apologies. I have had this argument a lot, but it tended to involve way more people becoming disproportionately offended by the very idea of the word "homophobia", which tends to get on my nerves. That did not happen in this case, however, and I am sorry for assuming.

    Homophobisms

    You are splitting hairs. Whether or not the term is technically correct, you damn sure know what someone means when they use it.

    Beyond Good and Evil 2 is Still Alive

    God I can't wait for this game, BGaE1 was one of my favorite games of all time. I'm just scared that this will fall short of my expectations. (p.s, Ubisoft, take note of Minecraft. We do not care how technologically advanced a game is, so long as its fun. In this case, we want more of what...

    Question about an element of Mass Effect 3 ending and the hatred towards it.

    We have more insight onto the Luna AI than you think, that was EDI (you find that out from talking to her in ME3). She did not attack because of the laws, she attacked because she gained sentience right in the middle of a live fire exercise and was VERY confused, so same basic concept.

    Question about an element of Mass Effect 3 ending and the hatred towards it.

    I have to agree. I hated the ending with a passion, but that part never bothered me. Also, I have to say, this whole thread seems familiar: an argument about ME3 in which the OP dismisses his opponents out of hand because they disagree with him...is DigitalAtlas just Zeel with the reverse...

    Erin Stout, Therapist

    Reminds me of a quote from Arrested Development. I don't remember it exactly, but it was something like this" "I'm both an analyst and a therapist. I am the world's first analrapist."

    GeoHot Was High When He Posted PS3 Hack

    Running a red light when no one is around? Not really unacceptable, though I would not say it was good either. But bragging about it as if that makes him a philosophical genius? That's more what I take issue with here. Terms of service/EULAs are already somewhat unstable legal ground because you...

    Crucible and Gordon Freeman Saved My Life

    I don't want to turn this into a giant discussion about the ending, but I will say this: I hated the ending, but the point you brought up never especially bothered me, go figure. I guess that fell under suspension of disbelief for me. Anyway, Gav, I remember when you were simply one of the...

    Re-Take The Cabin

    It's because Bob has done this before. Note that every time he's bitched about Retake (besides from on Twitter), it's been a snipe at the tail-end of a talk about something else. Even if the intent of this article was not to bash Retake, that's how it came off given Bob's track record...

    Re-Take The Cabin

    If I can step in here, I'd be happy to explain. However, this thread is getting derailed enough, care to take it to PMs?

    Re-Take The Cabin

    To reiterate what others have said: their are twats in the Retake movement. Nobody denies that. But there are twats in any movement, and the non-twats in this one (which is most people in the movement) have been fairly reasonable. They (remember, I'm speaking of the non-twats here) have not been...

    Re-Take The Cabin

    Same here. Bob, I want to like you. I've watched you for a long time, back since you were only the Game Overthinker. I was thrilled when you were picked up by The Escapist (despite your first Big Picture being about how the Master Chief is actually a Nazi, that was pretty WTF worthy), and for a...

    No Right Answer: Worst Videogame Ending Ever

    As much as I love KotOR II as a whole, I have to jump in with the people who say that was the worst ending. not Obsidian's fault (which is the saving grace, I guess), but just awful.

    Well, Amon looks like he could easily get interesting.
