    Sony Cancels The Interview Over Hacking Threat - Update

    The America ' fuck yeah' is strong in this thread. People calling Sony cowards and disgusting for caving to ' terrorists'. And how they should grow a spine and just release the movie. Can all the brouhaha, moral outrage and macho rhetoric about how North Korea can't touch the almighty US of A...

    Escape to the Movies: The Equalizer - A Near-Perfect Dad Movie

    After the whole atrocious behaviour on twitter thing I said to myself: 'I'm not going to watch Bob's content anymore'. But then I felt like I shouldn't stop watching his content simply because we have opposite opinions, that would be petty. And I just watched Bob put down an entire subgroup of...

    Demonization of Moviebob and other Escapist Staff

    The problem I have with Anita Sarkeesian and writers like Leigh Alexander is that they accuse the people who don't think exactly like they do of being sexist or misogynist or pigs or other [insert derogatory term here]. And how they constantly try to victimize, objectify and/or oppress women...

    On Geek Privilege

    But do you think this article will change those people's minds? I think this is dying out on it's own without us having to actively deal with it because 'geeks' simply aren't as marginalised anymore. So they can't or have no reason to play the victim. Just let the 'geek groups' that persist in...

    On Geek Privilege

    Am I the only one that read all of this without even understanding what he is talking about? Generally I'm quick on the uptake but this time the entire article just made me go: 'What the fuck am I reading? What does he want to point out, what does he want to solve and how does he want to solve...

    My daughter is named Tali'Zorah. I suppose I'm crazy : )

    You asked the question: 'Are we crazy?' No, you are stonecold fucking nuts. The name sounds nice in a VIDEOGAME, bloody hell Darius Deathstalker sounds completely badass, but it doesn't mean I'd name my child that way. The sensible way would be to (as many have already said) to make it a...

    Poll: How tall is the Escapist?

    6 Feet exactly, and here in the Netherlands I actually find that to be pretty short, most people are as tall or taller.

    Biggest douchebag NPC's in gaming?

    Handsome Jack from Borderlands two. The guy is awesome, but what a major douchebag. He's just about the most downright evil guy I've seen in videogames. At the same level as Kafka even.

    Hello Escapists, What books would you recommend?

    Can't believe nobody mentioned Patrick Rothfuss yet. 'The Name of the Wind' his debut novel has won tons of awards, and his second novel 'The Wise Man's Fear' came out last year. I highly recommend those. It's definitely my favourite series of the latest years. Well written, intelligent and...

    Well I very much wanted to donate to this cause, but sadly the site only accepts credit cards; which I do not have. Is it possible to donate via Paypal or some other way?

    Double post.

    Which FPS Actually Takes Skill?

    Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, if you take away the Adrenaline and Panzerfausts. If you were good in that game, you could take on 5 people at once and still come out alive. That is only possible because a) You are good, and b) It's harder to kill people if you are not good or avarage.

    StarCraft II: How Is It So Far?

    That would be true, if that's what I did. But no I alternated the missions, and the game is still fairly linear because you have to have done all of the missions before you can 'progress' and gain acess to new ones.

    StarCraft II: How Is It So Far?

    Well as I said earlier, I enjoy SC2 except for the varying difficulty curve between missions. And the final mission proves it again, I am so stuck on that one. Only mission in the game, I'm completely hating. (I excluded the air enemies.)But I just get over-run at like 90%, people suggest...
