    The Escapist Presents: The Escapists Blow Up The Death Star!

    I didn't realize how innuendo filled that scene was until now.

    Waiting For Godot

    Cause Godot never shows up in the play, it's the two characters waiting for him that play off of each other. A comment about Burton's tendency to bastardize source material (A la Alice in Wonderland) and of his Depp fetish, I believe.

    AJAB

    The whole affair was handled in the media with a distinct lack of tact. The worst part about it is that people use it as a springboard to one agenda or another, "This wouldn't happen if we had tighter gun controls", "We can only blame backwards republican policy" - people are grieving, yes there...

    game endings you loved that everyone else hated

    I would agree with you actually. Although the ending to ME 3 was bittersweet, I think that's a point in it's favour. I don't think the story could have ended justifiably without Shepard making the ultimate sacrifice in the end, and I think it gives some sense of inspiration that heroism of...

    Game of Thrones Season 3 Teaser Sizzles

    To be fair, although the scene in season 1 when Ned sends Dondarrion to hunt down the Mountain is pretty important, the fact that it is Dondarrion he sends isn't - the character only becomes important by book three. However, I would've imagined a more gaunt figure to play the lightning lord.

    Feed Dump: Arbitrary Arbitrage

    To play the pedant, you'd call them 'Arbitrageurs', not Arbitrage traders.

    Something you've done that you're proud of

    Managed to get an overall mark of 80 for Economics in my first year, including a 90 for my essay. Considering the work I put in it was pretty good to be rewarded for the effort. This year seems to be going pretty well so far too.

    The New Class

    The colour on the hat is too light, to play the pedant. Otherwise, awesome :D

    EA Still Confident in BioWare

    The games are fine, fans are just whiny bitches who judge ME3 on the ending rather than the 10-20 hours of gripping gameplay that came before it.

    Lets talk about Girls that play video games

    I feel that all that needs to be defined is the term 'gamer' - male or female. People enjoy labels too much, it's like the whole world is a DVD collection, alphabetised and divided by genre.

    Jimquisition: Rape vs. Murder

    This reminds me of a quest in New Vegas, where the NCR contracts you to kill a bunch of Fiends lieutenants. While two of them just seemed like run of the mill, I-don't-know-you-it's-not-personal jobs, for one of them you are informed that he had raped an NCR soldier (female), and that it was...

    E3 Preview: SimCity (2013)

    The zoning change makes a lot of sense actually - Whenever I played Sim City 4 and I zoned up, I'd always suffer from massive congestion issues until I upgraded the roads too, and if I tried to upgrade the roads beforehand I'd be admonished by my advisory for incurring unnecessary costs. This...

    Odd things you do in Video games

    In the original Prototype, I would sometimes consume a soldier and then pretend to be a part of his squad, patrolling with them and fighting the infected. Now they've made it a major gameplay mechanic in the sequel.

    Mad Scientists Craft Atomic Laser

    How long till a 'tash twiddling megalomaniac captures it with an army of hired goons and holds the eastern seaboard hostage?

    Buffy's Hubby Joins Mass Effect 3 Cast

    A little disconcerting that I remember him more from that one episode of friends he was in than from either of the scooby doo films.
