    What is Your Favourite Band?

    As far as I'm concerned, the Arctic Monkeys are god's gift to humanity. I'm a big fan of anything besides country, emo or heavy metal/screamo. I can't consider sound made using random notes and screaming into a microphone actual music.

    Escapists! Help Me Choose a New Laptop!

    I'm trying to remember that the reviews on websites are normally biased a bit. The majority of people who buy a product and don't have problems or love it won't review it, while the majority of people who have problems or hate it will. But 1 out of 10 is pretty high regardless. I'm pretty much...

    Escapists! Help Me Choose a New Laptop!

    That was originally one of my first choices by far, but it's not carried anywhere near where I live. I saw it an instantly wanted it, but they don't do shipping either. Don't suppose there is a work around for it other than driving a few hundred miles or so?

    Escapists! Help Me Choose a New Laptop!

    I'm definitely leaning more towards the Best Buy Asus. I still have a few weeks, but if nothing really changes until then, I'm pretty sure I'll stick with that one. Thanks a lot for the help! I understand the majority of the numbers involved, but the videocard-bit was definitely one I was...

    Escapists! Help Me Choose a New Laptop!

    I'm not a big fan of Best Buy either, but if I have to pay my money to the more evil of the two retailers to get a better laptop, so be it.

    Escapists! Help Me Choose a New Laptop!

    The only thing turning me off about the F50SV-X1 is the processor speed (2.0 rather than 2.26) and the 32 bit Vista. Honestly I don't know whether I should go for a 32 bit or 64 bit Vista computer. All I know is that 64-bit would allow all 4GB of the RAM to be used rather than just 3 of it...

    Escapists! Help Me Choose a New Laptop!

    I've had a Mac for the past three years through a program my high school has. We received a grant of some kind, so each student gets one to keep and use however they wish during the school year, except we can't install or modify anything on the hard drive... After these three years, I've come to...

    Escapists! Help Me Choose a New Laptop!

    First of all, let me apologize in advance if this is the wrong spot for this post... Moving on! I'm going to be graduating in the next month, and I'm planning on buying a laptop within the next two or three weeks. After searching for hours and hours, I've narrowed it down to a few possible...

    Poll: Exactly where are you from?

    Seattle, Washington, where we prefer the depressing rain over sun shine any day! It's strange that we're considered the rainy city even though we by no means receive the most rain per year in the United States. Most of the drops are so small that we could practically call it mist.

    Am I Going to Die?

    I was on vacation in Hawaii with my parents (I was 5 at the time) and I was at the pool. I was playing around on the steps and was wearing water wings, and I figured since I was in swimming lessons back home I could handle the deep end. My mom had to go grab something from our chairs and my dad...

    Left 4 Dead "Survival Pack" DLC Coming This Spring

    Are the two new versus campaigns going to be brand new maps, or are they simply going to make Dead Air and Death Toll open to play versus on? The new multiplayer mode already sounds fun just by hearing the title anyways!

    America's Army Nabs Five Guinness Records

    I played the free version on PC for a few years before my computer got too crappy to play it anymore. The PC version is a pretty great game to be honest. I've heard mostly bad things about the Xbox version though. They're both two different games by the way, not just the same one on a different...

    Poll: Which Video Game Franchise (besides Sonic) Most Deserves to End?

    Definitely Final Fantasy. When you've released your 393rd game, it's time to retire... Mario is starting to lose the luster it used to have, but for some reason I don't ever see it dying off.

    What is your most anticipated game of 2009?

    I'm definitely looking forward to Halo 3: ODST. It's sort of an add-on in a way, but it'll hopefully bring a welcome change of pace to Halo. I've been getting sick of the running and gunning, and it looks like this will probably involve at least a bit more strategy.
