    How do you play Pokemon games?

    Wow. Looking at this thread made me realize that I just play the games so basic. I never really got into any of the games past Gen 2, so I don't play online that much. I tried at least every generation, but I haven't felt the magic that came to me as a kid playing Silver on long car rides...

    Confess your nerd sins

    I must confess my sins: I just can't get into Dr. Who (too much already there for me) I haven't ever beaten a Metroid, Castlevania, or Final Fantasy game ever. (But I sure do like to try...) I sometimes button mash while playing fighters I think most anime is the same so I don't...

    The Last of Us Movie

    I almost passed over this, but I'm glad you brought this to light here. First, I loved the game. It was the first PS3 game I ever bought and beat it in 2 six hour sittings. The story is great, the action is tense, and the characters are deep. That being said, why make it into a movie? You...

    Nostalgia Time: Nokia 3300/3310

    My stepdad had one of those phones. I would use it to play Snake all the time. Aw man. That was the ultimate phone. My first phone was when I was 16. It was one of those 99 cent flip phones you get from Alltel (is that still a thing? I thought they got sucked up by Version once upon a time)...

    No Right Answer: Living with Depression

    This is a great episode. I love you guys. I haven't watched an episode in a while, but good job. I have depression as well. I have just reached a high point though. You know those. You feel good for a month, maybe longer, and then it all hits you at once for a long time. You guys took time...

    Poll: The Grammys Were Ass!

    It was interesting. Metallica played (albeit One a.k.a. the Most Overplayed Metallica Song Besides Enter Sandman), Queens of the Stone Age jammed with Dave Grohl, N.I.N., and I can't remember the other guy...fuck...his name escapes me... Any way, it was good to see Daft Punk totally sweep the...

    Help me FIND some games

    I see a lot of Cave Story and someone mentioned Rogue Legacy. These were my two choices. Also, go online and try to find some ROMs of the Castlevania and Metroid classics via a Gameboy emulator. I caught up with the series this way and had a good time too.

    Poll: The Last of Us Academic Poll (SPOILERS)

    I shot the one guy with the knife down, but everyone else I left alone. Why kill an innocent for no reason? Sure, sometimes I can get trigger happy, but that game was an exception.

    4chan. The happiest place on Earth

    I've been going to 4chan for all my needs for the past five, maybe six years. Maybe even longer. It gives me a laugh, makes me think, grosses me out, and has some good fap material. Some of the best threads can be found on /b/, but they are far too often buried underneath a pile of shit 10...

    Offline co-op games

    I love playing co-op games. I don't have internet at my house, so my little brother and I have bonded/grew to hate each other by playing together. Our favorites are: Borderlands 1 and 2 Dead Nation Foul Play Gears of War 1,2, and 3 Halo (any one of them) Madden Call of Duty Black Ops...

    10 Ways to Tell if a Licensed Game Will Probably Suck

    Okay. I'm kind of glad that I wasn't the only person who didn't hate the crap out Stranglehold. I actually kind of liked it. It ripped off Max Payne in all the right ways. OT: I really liked Battlefront II and Republic Commando as a kid. They were awesome. Also, Tom Clancy games? Those are...

    Amateur writers of the Escapist, do you do this?

    After I'm done, I hand it off to my friend who is a really good writer. Then he proceeds to fist me in the chili ring with edits. Then I cry and wallow in my self loathing.

    I need your help escapist! Game recommendation thread

    You don't like buying the actual disk? WHAAAAAAT? Have we reached the point in our gaming evolution that some of us don't like that little thrill when we open the game fresh from the package (which is like trying to break out of prison sometimes...). Nah, I'm just kidding. I'm kind of the...
