    Video game characters that make you smile

    Tiny Tina from Borderlands 2. The pyromaniac little sister I never realized I wanted.

    Best Character Introductions

    The two major movie intros for the Joker, both the Jack Nicholson version and the Heath Ledger version. Both of them do justice to one of the best comic book villains of all time in their own way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63iuB-cSY7Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OYBEquZ_j0

    The worst book/story your ever read.

    The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I had to read it during my junior year of high school, and I despised every fucking second of it. Just to be clear, I usually like these old classics as long as I can understand why they are respected and what the author was trying to accomplish (and I...

    Fictional characters you wish you could punch in the face?

    Joffrey has already been named, so Mayori Kurotsuchi from Bleach. The guy is basically the Joseph Mengele of anime, the f***ing bastard.

    The Escapist's Game of the Year 2012

    I'm a bit disappointed that my pick, Borderlands 2, didn't score better. Oh well, at least I get the consolation that there are plenty of other people who realize that ME3 was great, despite the undoubtedly crap-tastic ending.

    The Most Mishandled IPs/Franchises in Gaming?

    Ok, for those who are saying Dragon Age, keep in mind that there have only been 2 games in the series so far. Maybe one of them was disappointing, but I don't think that qualifies it as one of the most mishandled franchises. As for those who are saying Silent Hill....no argument against that...

    Who's your same sex celebrity crush?

    Michael Fassbender. I'd totally go gay for him.

    Most Effective Video Game Villains?

    I would have to go with the Illusive Man. Nothing like a true magnificent bastard when it comes to villains, and oh boy is he a bastard. It also helps when you have a villain who genuinely believes that he's doing the right thing.

    Most satisfying death of a villain

    Oh yea, definitely. I've always been partial to the death of Arthas in WotLK. It's not satisfying in the traditional sense-as in, you getting vengeance-but it was a nice way of completing his story arch. Now, in a more traditional sense (WARNING: SONG OF ICE AND FIRE SPOILERS AHEAD)

    What is your state's/country's embarrassing stereotype?

    Chicago. Wherever I go, especially outside of the US, people seem to think we're stuck in the 1920s, as in Al Capone-type gang violence. To be clear, Chicago is no longer the most dangerous city in the US, or even one of the top 50 most dangerous cities.

    Vent! Vent like you've never vented before!

    I'll give it a try: I ordered a new laptop from ibuypower recently, and it won't arrive until Monday, which is 10 days after they said it would arrive. Also, they took their sweet time responding to my emails. Grrrr. I hate religious fanatics and anti-religious fanatics. They both believe...

    Keanu Reeves Turns Down Akira Movie

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: why oh why in God's name do they need to make a Hollywood remake of Akira? The original was great to begin with, don't fix what ain't broke. And from everything I've heard about it so far, I'm convinced that this remake is going to suck. With that in...

    Be a man (Say something you hated about a game you Love)

    GTA IV: I wish that there were more rooms/buildings you could enter when you were not on a mission specifically set in that building. Also, the pigeon challenge sucked. Resident Evil 4: It must be said: I hate Ashley. Easily the worst part of an otherwise brilliant game. There were times in...
