    Character creation mechanic is dying.

    "Oh look this game is a shooter/MMO hybrid, slap in a character creation so people can feel like they are different". (at least until armour drops make every look the same anyway). Honestly I don't think the mechanic is dying, but I do feel like most games slap it in as more of an after...

    The Dragonballs, should I watch them?

    Yes you should watch Dragonball and Dragonball Kai. Dragonball is a fun watch, it is a comedy at heart, you might find it similar to Fairy Tail at times with its wacky adventures. Dragonball Kai cuts out so much fluff and filler from the Dragonball Z series. People will say to watch the...

    What does the escapist think of Totalbiscuit?

    I think he is a person with thoughts and opinions. That's it really.

    Games that you couldn't wait to quit

    Dead Island I got it a little bit after launch because I had 3 friends who played it and highly recommended it. My first half hour-ish of the game was great, very atmospheric. But the more I played the worse the game got. It became increasingly bland and generic, imbalances in the games...

    Guild Wars 2 Officially Goes Free-to-Play Today Ahead of New Expansion

    I would recommend giving it a go. Their F2P model is much fairer than SWOTOR, even on paper. This is coming from someone who has and does play both games.

    Guild Wars 2 goes free to play

    New character slots are about 600gems if memory serves, so about £6 (give or take). It's not too steep of a cost anyway, I have a pretty tight seal on my wallet and I did not feel bad about the cost of the extra slot. The limitations here are pretty fair, it's not like we are dealing with...

    Poll: Horror - Do you actually LIKE it?

    As a genre no, not really.Yet I may dabble into gothic or eldrich horror every now and then.

    Should people lose access to a game because of how they act?

    Ea is a bit different. They can band you from multiple games because of your behaviour outside of a game.

    Doing my part in a charity livestream :)

    Hey everyone, on the 21st February I will be helping a buddy of mine in a 24 hour charity live stream for Special Effects (we are doing it through Gameblast). Special Effects is a charity to help disabled children. In short Special Effect helps children with disabilities play video games and...

    Fuel for a better gamer.

    Nuts and what not are good if you want nibbles that people won't snub their noses up at, but are less sugary and fatty than most other store bought gubbins. Pretzels are also good for the same reason, and you can even provide dips with them. You could also buy a packet of mini flapjacks, for...

    Three Examples of Female Characters Archetypes That Go Unexplored-

    *points to Dr Who* The new ones at least, excluding Clara anyway.

    If your Marvel and you get the webhead back how do you introduce him?

    Honestly this would be all he needs, after all at this point we don't really need another movie. I honestly think Spidey shines on the small screen, so introduce him in an existing show and then spin him off into his own thing.

    Anita Sarkeesian states that sexism against men is impossible

    She is using a reconfigured definition for racism. The definition has been expanded to multiple concepts, however if often criticized and scrutinized. I believe the definition came into being in the 70's (I cannot remember who originally coined it). It is a very limited way to look at "isms" though.

    Bioware needs to revert years of work

    I agree with you that the quality of these scenes are much better, I am thinking of the ME2 and ME3 scenes here. And admittedly I do think that my criticism primarily comes from DA2. Although customisation did decrease in the ME series as it went on.

    Bioware needs to revert years of work

    My only beef with the most recent Bioware games (DA:I, not included because I have not played it), is the increased emphasis on romance while decreasing emphasis on character customisation. I have found this increasingly common in their games over the years, although I think they had a nice...
