    Brace Your Eyeballs For the Gunnar Optiks MW3 Gaming Eyewear

    "Here's an idea, instead of throwing some spectrum/contrast sliders in the options menu like we used to, let's just sell some glasses to make the game look the way it's supposed to." *Insert evil laugh* What's next? making the 'fire primary weapon' button a Collector's Edition exclusive?

    Are people too hard on smokers?

    As a smoker, I've been in this debate far too often. A few points; 1) If you dislike smoking so much, don't go to the one place on the planet where it's still allowed. Most smokers aren't really bothered by the fact that they have to sit/stand in designated smoking areas and don't have a...

    Saw 3D or (for the fans) Saw 7

    I pretty much lost interest in the series when I was watching Saw IV, the first one is still my favorite, and the series went downhill from there. While the concept of the films gives plenty of opportunities to squeeze out another decent installment, I think -considering where they took the...

    The Escapist Presents: Starcraft 2: Easter Eggs

    I'd say Joeyray's Bar on Mar Sara is a reference to This guy

    Building your own PC

    Most retailers are probably willing to build it for you if you order everything in one go. So if you know what components you need/want, but are worried about putting it together, have someone do it for you. Could also save you a bunch in shipping when you're ordering online. Other than that...

    Poll: Should men shave their pubic hair?

    Well, if you like your girlfriend/one night stand to shave hers, it's only fair to shave yours as well. If she says she doesn't care, don't assume that it's true. Then again, if she really doesn't care, do whatever you like.

    Poll: What type of Pokemon Trainer are you?

    Breeder; You own roughly 2 boxes full of Ditto with IV's of 31 and corresponding natures. You cycle back and forth across that one bloody road for hours at a time praying that the next egg that hatches will finally contain that perfect-stat female with the right nature and egg moves. For every 1...

    Question of the Day, July 28, 2010

    Instigator, but there's about 4 more in that list I could tick off. Depending on the GM and party, I probably won't stick to just provoking npc's though. To the joy of many, I've managed to get my entire party killed about 15 minutes after character creation. Honestly though, challenging...

    Gamers shouting so loud they get their way, is it a good thing?

    Even if it was only a minority that voted against the design, the majority of voters were against it. To clarify; Say 2% of your audience doesn't like something and complains, and 1% responds to those complaints saying it does like the change. In this (completely made up) scenario, 97% of...

    R4 Cartridges Declared Illegal in the U.K.

    The justification for banning the R4 is not that it can be used to play pirated games. It's that the card bypasses DS security measures -no matter what purpose you use the card for- in order to work, which is illegal. It's all right there, in the article.

    I guess I am not a typical gamer. (rant about games)

    I used to think a lot like you. Then I started thinking some more, and went back to the older days to find that games really weren't that much better back then. -Graphics vs. Gameplay vs. Plot; yes, gameplay/plot are important factors in a game. But honestly, I won't buy a new-gen game for...

    Poll: Achievements, why are they there?!

    They're there to add replay value to your games. Either by forcing you to go back and grind for an achievement so you can show off your gamerscore/trophies/achievement points. Or -in case you couldn't care less about your score- they give you different ways of playing the game or fun little...

    Gamers but not geeks?

    As a person with a lot of different interests, I have a lot of different friends and people in my life, with various interests etc etc etc. I don't try to hide the fact that I'm a gamer, and pretty geeky/nerdy about it too. When I'm with people who really don't care for gaming, I simply...
