    A first time for everything

    Hey there, it's been a while. Anyway, I logged in because wanted to share my two cents on the upcoming console generation. Ever other time a new batch of hardware has been released, I've always been really excited. Not this time. Why? Well, reason number one is that the Orwell-boxes on...

    Poll: Capitalism or Communism?

    Capitalism. Too bad it doesn't exist in North America anymore. It died with corporate welfare and bank bailouts. You people who are advocating more tightly controlled capitalism are being duped into supporting socialized corporate losses and privatized corporate profits.

    The New Shiny Escapist

    Old Escapist was (imo) one of the most attractively designed and user-friendly gaming sites on the web. But, YOU MANIACS BLEW IT UP! This is the worst site redesign I can remember.

    Thief Attempts to Steal Xbox 360, Instigates Knife Fight, Loses

    When someone pulls a knife on you, it's not about your Xbox anymore. It's about sticking him before he sticks you. If you don't want to get stabbed, shot or beat don't steal shit.

    Unskippable: Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel

    Actually "knell" is a word. As in: this game's name sounded the death knell for my interest in this game. ^_^ knell (nl) v. knelled, knell·ing, knells v.intr. 1. To ring slowly and solemnly, especially for a funeral; toll. 2. To give forth a mournful or ominous sound. v.tr. To...

    Poll: The Best (Western) RPG Series of All Time

    Actually no, I just scan polls like this too see if they include planescape (I'm serious) and I forgot that Dragon Effect 2 existed. Maybe I can get by on a technicality if we include published adventures for the planescape campaign setting.

    Stormcloaks are too mainstream.

    The Altmer use goblins (and goblins are pretty deadly in the Tribunal expansion, relative to other critters) and other unsavory creatures for their general troops. I think you're seriously underestimating the High Elves. By lore, the Altmer are far more sophisticated in most respects than...

    Stormcloaks are too mainstream.

    What if I'm playing a scheming Altmer supremacist working to "divide and conquer" for the dominion? I've been wanting to play TES: summerset Isle since Morrowind.
