    Introduction

    So, when do we get a Greenihilator / LolDestro / "why it's fun to make people hate your decks" article?

    The World Does Not Hate Captain America

    If you're on the fence about seeing Captain America in 3D, I can certainly say this is one of the few films this year that is MADE for a 3D experience. Stereo effects aren't going to wow everyone, but it does add a certain special something to certain kinds of movies. In this case, the kind...

    Genius Apes Swarm the Streets in Trailer for Planet of the Apes Prequel

    So much fail. It's like Ang Lee's Hulk all over again, but instead of Hulk-dogs it's apes. Also, they already explained the origin as a paradox of time travel in Escape and Conquest. Cornelius and Zira get in Bright Eyes' spaceship, get caught in some kind of quantum deus ex machina ray, and...

    The Boy Scouts Now Offer a Robotics Badge

    Look guys, BSA as an organization isn't openly hateful toward any group. As a private organization, they reserve the right to be selective when it comes to advancement and employment. Think of the organization like any other franchise operation - a troop is formed when enough kids and parents...

    March Mayhem 2011 Is Over, Mojang Wins!

    Haters gonna hate, and I cackle with glee as they do. March Mayhem isn't a competition based on merit - it never has been. The Escapist staff toils for MONTHS choosing the Game of The Year, based on the merits of the games nominated. March Mayhem is an opportunity for you, the loyal...

    James Cameron Wants Game-Like Frame Rates for Film

    It's exceedingly important to note the difference between frames per second and refresh rate. NTSC (the standard digital video cameras use in North America and some others) has been 60 'frames' since its inception, but they actually don't display a full image 60 times per second. Interlacing is...

    what's your IQ score?

    Anyone who calls it an "IQ score" is bullshitting. IQ stands for "intelligence quotient" - it's an arbitrary number (called a quotient) that correlates to how many standard deviations you are from the median of everyone that took the test, at your specific age range. Like BMI, it's largely a...

    Your car rules

    Rule #1: If you would get in trouble for doing it in your own car, don't do it in mine. Rule #2: If you wouldn't want me to do it in your car, don't do it in mine. Rule #3: I don't care about the music or temperature. Passenger may choose 'luxuries' as long as it doesn't stop me from driving...

    So Minecraft, what are you working on?

    Lately I've been doing D&D (Basic/Expert) modules - to scale. I've just about finished "In Search of the Unknown," and "Keep on the Borderlands" is next on the list. I'm so happy Notch added dispensers - it makes traps awesome.

    If the Escapist had a motto?

    Last I heard, it went from "We have issues." to "Play life, live games." Paging Dr. Spinwhiz...
