I don't post on The Escapist much any more. I've been here quite a while, I've seen Steve Butts and Russ Pitts leave, along with a lot of the old forum regulars. This isn't to say the site is worse, or better, but it's different, to me at least. I'm not sure what I'm trying to say here, but...

On reading this thread my first thought was: "I WANT THAT!" Then I wondered... Do I have it? I think I would have played it, but I feel like I have some old RPG I forgot about. Turns out that was Neverwinter Nights 2. So, already I thank you for reminding me of that, kinda. If I end up getting...

Absolutely agree with your summary. I actually just finished Dishonored today. While I did kind of like the plot, it was simple but it could have worked. However, the structure means you really never get to know the characters. At all. Hell, I think I learned more about most of the targets than...

Hooray you're back. Loved the song man, half a minute and I was tapping my feet, a full minute and my head was bopping too. The bits about your circus of freaks COD players was very amusing. Glad to see you doing well after the bad news about the tinnitus.

I'm totally behind SOE for this issue. It does kind of suck that people can't run any "benign" mods, but as SOE said, it becomes an issue when players start yelling that SOE banned them for one such mod. Especially since that's a problem whether they're right or wrong. Either it's a ready...

This is true, though I did find it hilarious to see the usually stoic Cam QWOPing balls over poop jokes just a little while ago. OT: I actually saw all this happen on Twitter (and while watching Desert Bus, obviously). There are few moments that rival hearing Skeletor singing Total Eclipse of...

The thing with it is it's a little awkward. First you need to know what your opponent has. Sure, with hand peek you can find out, but that's hardly optimal. How do you know what's in their hand is the best they have? If it clearly isn't, then what do you do? Why not run a removal or counter...

It's gotta be the RWU. It looks like it could be a pretty respectable deck, plus how can you say no to Niv-Mizzet? I managed to get him in a booster just a couple of days ago. Was very happy. Only now I need to try and build an Izzet deck... Anyway, RWU easily seems the best option to me. You...

It's sad to know that we probably won't see Weaving as Red Skull again (I mean, Marvel could force him into the role but that seems unpleasant for all involved). But this still may not stop Marvel from having Red Skull. For one thing, Banner has already changed actors. Granted, Banner is a bit...

I... Don't understand this. I mean, apart from the motivation, which as far as I can tell is MS being petty and deciding they want to be the only ones making money off their games, it seems like they're only shooting themselves in the foot. If you look at the full usage rules it gets worse...

I'd vote for Jim regardless, but the Final Fantasy victory theme makes him the only choice. A vote for not-Jim is a vote for joylessness. Anyway, good video as always. My only experience with RE is number 4 (which I love to bits) and I wasn't really planning on picking RE6 up anyway. Still after...

Holy shit, I'm part of the Oldguard now? When the hell did that happen? Seems like just yesterday when Zynga were winning and there was indeed Mayhem. Those were dark days, but we came through. It's fun to see all these old names, from back in the day when there were few enough users that I...

I am really happy with this. Yes, the system may be open to abuse. But if they throw this out, then they can find problems with it and fix it. I'm sure there's plenty of solutions to boosting, as people are already predicting. For example, players can only "honor" another once. There. If you...

It has been a while since I played Foldit. May jump back in to check this out, hopefully it's still installed on my PC. Oh, and anyone who does like Foldit, or is even interested in it, you may also be interested in [a href=http://eterna.cmu.edu/eterna_page.php?page=me_tab]EteRNA[/a]. It's a...

That was beautifully said. If you'll excuse me, I think I have something in my eye. Well, so long Mr. Butts. You've done a fantastic job this past year, it's sad to see you go. Good luck in your future endeavours. And to Miss Arendt, congratulations. A great choice, I'm sure you'll do us proud.
