Not so much a catch as having just enough business sense to know when to cut their losses (but obviously not enough to know how to avoid the loss in the first place, or we wouldn't be in this situation). It's a little bit of damage control with current owners who are livid and unwilling to keep...

I thought it was really interesting, but I'm trying to resist getting overly invested in it as I feel it's not the kind of show that will stay on air for an extended period of time. It's aiming for a smaller, specifically targeted audience, and those types of shows don't stick around long in my...

This series is going to be a lot of fun! Really looking forward to what games they play in the future. I wonder if they'll stick mostly to well known games, or if they plan on throwing in some older/more obscure titles to throw each other off? I think that's a bit of his personal humor...

Wow, I had no idea that these even existed (although I can imagine doctors trying to argue the ruptured bladder myth today). I'm odd in the fact that my mother was the one who introduced me to videogames, despite hating them herself. Apparently I was reading too much and needed to branch out...

I've been vegetarian since the day I was born due to a severe food sensitivity. Not just meat, most foods will make me violently sick (I'm actually closer to vegan, but milk and eggs don't generally bother me so I'm technically somewhere between the two terms). Ironically enough, I come from a...

I'll generally play Xcom or Faster Than Light on a high difficulty level and expect to be busy for a few hours. When I'm angry I have a tendency to sit and stew over whatever caused it in the first place, so these difficult games help me focus on something else. Sure, I'll lose the first couple...

I would like to praise this guy, except that the article here forgot to mention that the ex-husband (the one who was stabbed) was called over and invited into the house by the girlfriend. And though I don't know this for a fact, the wording of the full article linked here and another which I...

I admit that my opinion is biased due to the fact that I am a long-time Tales fan, but this has to be the best review of a Final Fantasy game I have ever heard and I thank you and your roommates for it.

"This does not affect our E.U. trademark for Candy and we continue to take all appropriate steps to protect our IP." "appropriate steps". At what point has King EVER taken appropriate steps during any part of this whole mess? The fact alone that those words are used confirms for me that, even...

If anything, he has the opposite situation. 1. He and my mother have a good relationship, outside of the few fights that spring up (usually over something like this where their parental styles clash). They have many common friends and he tells them all that she has the authority in the house...

The reason I hesitate to discuss it with my mother is that this is not the first time I've had issues with him trying to assert authority over me in this manner. The first few times I did discuss it with her because I think she has a right to know what goes on in her house between her husband...

Ok Escapists of the world, am I being petty about this? As a bit of background, my step father and I do not get along. At all. He is just a generally unkind man toward me and I typically try to keep my distance, as does he. It is well established that he and my mother have drastically...

I always argue with my parents over this. The tap water at my apartment is disgusting. It tastes metallic and even my cat refuses to drink it if I put it in his dish. But if I go three blocks over to my parent's house the tap water is fine. I go there to refill bottles for the week, leading...

Alexis. I like my name, I think there's a lot that can be done with it as far as nicknames go. My baby brother calls me Lexi and I can also go with Alex or Lex if I want something more gender neutral (not into girly names). I also love that it means "defender of the people" or "defender of...

This. The entire time I was reading that book I was thinking "who are these people, because they are not the characters I fell in love with." I seriously wonder if Collins wrote this or if she had a ghost writer, because I can not believe this is her work. Hell, my favorite character in this...
