    What has made you smile today?

    What made me smile today, but also a little sad, was clicking onto the Escapist and seeing Susan Arendt's motto as motto of the moment. It seemed fitting.

    The Kingdom of Escapistia (Any relation to persons alive or dead is coincedental, shush)

    I shall continue to skulk in the shadows, nary a whisper shall be heard from me as I work my bewitching magic upon those around. (Free cookies for anyone who gets that!)

    Little touches in games that made you smile

    This wasn't so much something that gave me the impression that the developers cared, but when I was playing Black Ops (the last CoD game I played actually)I saw a poster of Guan Yu hidden away behind a market stall in the level where you're running through the city with the scientist chap...It's...

    Two Worlds 2

    I like both games. My brother and I thought the original was good, with a lot of potential (I probably spent over 50 hours on it in total). The second one was...Different, but I still enjoyed it more or less.

    Some questions about hypnosis?

    Whew...That's a lot...Ok, I'm going to try my best to go through this. Firstly, subjects under hypnosis can be made to do things that they wouldn't ordinarily consent to doing if they were not under hypnosis, unless they have a strong objection.

    Some questions about hypnosis?
