    Poll: Borderlands 2: playing solo

    I like playing co-op, but the problem is that my teammates never seem to stick together! So it ends up being every man for themselves against monsters 100x stronger than us.

    Is Nintendo recycling their ideas too much?

    I feel that recently Nintendo's entire business model has been reusing their old IPs and preying on their fans nostalgia. If you think back to 2006, the Wii launched with Wii Sports, setting the tone of innovation for the console. But the Wii U is launching with Nintendoland, a collection of...

    Poll: Do you think we'll see an assassination on a major political leader in our time?

    Eheheh. On the front page, the title looks like "Do you think we'll see an ass..." OT: Yes. In an era where computers dominate our lives, if you're good enough at hacking you have godlike power. Call me crazy, but I bet with enough planning, Anonymous could do something like hack into...

    Cigarettes should be illegal.

    It's about about the public's perception. I agree that cigarettes are more harmful than weed, but hell man, people smoked like 10 packs a day back in the 40s, so they don't seem that bad. Whereas everyone thinks that if you smoke weed, you're an unemployed person in their basement...

    Help for a soon-to-be game addict.

    Hello fellow Escapees (Escapisters? Escapades? Whatever) I'm a gamer who has been able to keep my hobby in moderation until recently. You see, I'm out of school now (commenced from 10th grade) and so far I have nothing to do during the summer. My mom, dad, and sister all work during the day...

    Poll: When did you lose your virginity?

    The problem is that this is the internet, where you're free to lie about anything you want. So I'll say that I was pimpin' some honeys at age 9. Yep. No doubt about it.

    Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale Preview

    I like the characters, but I hate the art style. Why is so goddamn dark and dreary? I love the stages of Smash Bros and MvC2 because they're colorful which allows for a lot of detail. Not to mention, it's hard to see things when it's so dark.

    Writing on the wall - A chance to be a part of Escapist history!

    Can I nab a spot? Once The Escapist rules the new world, it'll be like I signed the constitution!

    We've had a good run.

    I don't wanna sounds like one of the holier-than-thou people he mentions, but isn't deleting all your games kinda excessive? Moderation is really the key. We all need time to study and time to vent by playing mindless activities. Regardless, best of luck to you, fellow Escapee(?).

    Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe (Worst song ever?)

    Oh jeez, it's like watching Peewee's Playhouse on acid, but there's unattractive neon make-up. And to think that people actually listen to that for leisure? To that, I say:

    The New Shiny Escapist

    Hmm, I was trying to give the redesign a chance and whatnot, but if it doesn't change I'm probably not going to come to The Escapist anymore. The new site disorients and confuses me too much. The lack of borders or different colors makes it hard for me to find what I want and makes the whole...

    The New Shiny Escapist

    Is it just me or is it really hard to decipher things because there's no borders?

    You must now live off the last food and drink you consumed!

    Cup of Noodles. It's alright, I pretty much live off of it already.

    Cartoons CAN be Mature!

    Buy a DVD from a computer art festival like Siggraph. Pretty much everything on it is a cartoon, and they're about as artsy and philosophical as you can get.

    Drinking Games: Marvel vs Caprum 2

    The problem with the rules here is that good people at MvC2 barely ever use the Team Hyper Combination. Or even a regular punch or kick for that matter. It's usually just a normal hyper.
