    Poll: What type of grading structure do you prefer?

    I prefer having a few bits of work that each count for a sizable amount. I've spent this academic year on international exchange at UVic in British Columbia, and I've found that if a piece of work isn't worth much of my overall grade, I am really unmotivated to do it at all.

    So Escapist! What University will you be attending? (/do you attend?)

    I study Modern History and International Relations at the University of Essex, but I'm currently spending my third year on exchange at the University of Victoria, in Canada.

    A song of ice and fire book 5, Spoileriffic!!!

    If Jon is the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna, I think him dying and being resurrected somehow, most likely by Melisandre, is a good way to get him out of his vows and go off and do important things with Dany (if she ever gets off her ass and goes to Westeros, that is!).

    Game of Thrones Season 3 Details Surface

    I just want to see Oberyn Martell show up. Every scene he's in in the book is fantastic.

    Poll: Where are you from?

    No one ever seems to have heard of where I'm from, although I suspect that's because at least half the people I spend time with aren't from the UK. Anyway, I'm from the Isle of Wight, but currently living in Colchester for uni.

    Disabled Girl Dating Sim Katawa Shoujo Finally Available

    It's not that he turns to 'broken' girls because of his failed relationship with the 'normal' girl, as you put it, but because he's in an environment where all the people around him are disabled in one way or another.

    Deskimus Prime Skips A Beat with Katawa Shoujo

    I'll be honest, I'd never even considered trying this genre before, having always thought of it as something 'weird' that I'd never be interested in. After reading the news article here on The Escapist, however, I took a chance on it, and it has been one of the most enjoyable experiences I've...

    Disabled Girl Dating Sim Katawa Shoujo Finally Available

    I'd never played (read?) a visual novel before this one, but downloaded it after reading this article and a few of the comments recommending it and I have to say I can't remember the last time I got so emotionally involved in a story. The characters are not defined by their disabilities, and...

    EA-stories of how they screwed you over

    I don't have any problems with EA at all, aside from a dislike of the concept of online passes that they seem to adore. I am, however, getting sick of people complaining about how SW:TOR requires Origin in any way, which it doesn't. I bought a digital copy of the game through Origin, but I never...

    Give the Gift of Crack: World of Warcraft's Holiday Deals

    Seems like a pretty good deal. I've been playing WoW for a year, since the sale they offered pre-Cataclysm let me buy the expansions cheap. Subscriptions may be flagging, but I'm still having a great time with the game, and love the people I play with (although the game is admittedly full of...

    SW: The Old Republic, Will you Buy it?

    Don't worry, the game isn't region locked, so you should be fine.

    SW: The Old Republic, Will you Buy it?

    And not even then. Even if you bought it through Origin (like I did) you don't need the program installed on your computer to download and play TOR. Source [http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=8488436](The fourth post)

    SW: The Old Republic, Will you Buy it?

    Yes, I have it pre-ordered and can't wait. I've been feeling pretty burnt out on WoW recently, but I still enjoy the core gameplay. From what I've seen, TOR's gameplay is pretty much the same as WoW's, but the rest of the game looks much more interesting. Plus, my WoW subscription expires a few...

    So, Who's pre-ordered star-wars tor and preloaded it for the beta weekend?

    By 'the same client as launch' do you mean I won't need to re-download it to play the final release? If so, can you provide a source for that?
