    Poll: Would you have sex as an act of kindness?

    I refuse to answer the question because the idea of someone wanting to have sex with me over anyone else is so utterly ridiculous. Which, I guess, is a kind of answer so my entire post is pretty pointless.

    Who is your favorite Pokemon?

    My absolute favourites are Larvitar and Axew (followed closely by their fully evolved forms). Runners up include: Gen 1: Haunter Gen 2: Scizor Gen 3: Sceptile Gen 4: Torterra/Gallade Gen 5: Braviary Gen 6: Chespin You share my opinion, this is a good thing.

    Poll: Chocolate Icecream is Shit.

    I love all kinds of chocolate (aside from white chocolate, but that hardly even counts in the first place), but for some reason I hate chocolate flavoured ice cream. I don't understand what's going on! Who else has experience in this issue and, more importantly, how does it relate to the...

    Remember when "bullying" entailed physical assault?

    Is this just an American/old people thing? Growing up, I was handed more than than my fair share of verbal (and a little sexual) abuse, but neither I, nor anyone I knew of, was never physically abused, ever. I'm 21.

    Cutscenes/Moments in games that really get to you.

    Does this count? It's so manly, I want to cry. I just wish the actual game was this epic. More like a dick punch. I saw the big blob of people and recognised what they were before the game forced me to kill them if I wanted to progress.

    Valve Sued by Australia's Consumer Watchdog Over Refund Policy

    One Steam coupon for "a shitty indie game you've never heard of" says that Valve won't change a thing and Steam will just wind up being banned in Australia. I have a great deal of confidence in my country's government, you see.

    Games that you've abandoned playing

    Skyrim: Fun for a while but I couldn't care less about the plot and the combat was getting way too easy. Fallout 3: The Fallout obsessed chick I was trying to court turned me down. Dark Souls: Too stressful. Deeponia: I literally fell asleep while playing this. Half Minute Hero...

    Poll: Is my DnD Character Transphobic?

    My main DnD character is currently a female dwarf battlemind but I use this [http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/images/315146/M_Dwarf8.png] as her portrait, I make a point of roleplaying in a particularly gruff/deep voice and she is described as being "indistinguishable from a man". The context of...

    We Did It Escapists! :D

    Congratulations Escapists! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtOPacnjxLU] You really care about the important issues. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go make a rant about how Sarkeesian is trying to take away my vidya games.

    Make your job title sound more epic than it is

    I usually tell people I'm the "merchandise logistics manager for the department store division of Woolworths ltd." I stack fucking shelves at a supermarket.

    Celebrity deaths: Who is next?

    I would say George R. R. R. Martin, but I'd find the drama among the GoT book readers too funny to really be upset about it for too long. So I'll say Rebecca Sugar, because the unexpected death of a relatively young woman who ceaselessly makes this world a little more magical...

    How come people who commit suicide are considered cowards, unless someone famous does it?

    I don't think people who kill themselves should be demonised or painted as failures, I just believe that it takes a certain amount of strength to hold on to hope that life will get better, even when things are at their worst. I won't bother you with some sob story about my state of mind, I'll...

    How come people who commit suicide are considered cowards, unless someone famous does it?

    I think suicide is a way for weak willed people to run away from their problems. I just refrain from saying so every time it's mentioned because all it accomplishes is upsetting people (especially when it's a beloved celebrity), something the "omg rip in peace, you hero" crowd don't have to...
