This is why he wasn't the CEO, thankfully! Someone literally found the owner's polar opposite to be CEO. Whilst the owner loved nothing more than to be locked away in his office, quite removed from the entirety of the company (so he could just busily work away on the game), the CEO was a...

Having worked for a gaming company that produced a very famous browser MMO, I remember the times when the owner / lead programmer or his sibling (also a coder on the game) posted of their own accord on the forums it was completely RED ALERT DISASTER MODE ENGAGE for the customer relations...

The Goombas - aside from the fact I loved this film as a kid (it's just so, so absurd and I loved it for that) - they totally make the film. They are so absolutely weird and terrifying with the tiny heads and creepy toothy mouths as to be completely unforgettable. Oh, and Dennis Hopper. I'm...

In the books, isn't Brienne described as wearing a brilliant sapphire coloured armour? Hence the moniker "Brienne the Blue" when she joins the Rainbow Guard? I thought it was a shame in the TV series she wears that bronze plate - she'd look fantastic if she looked as the book describes her...

The front page says "Escapist Video Review"... but... unless I'm blind, I can't see the video? Disappointment abounds, I like listening to the video reviews. And now, you know, reading. :/

As far as I understood, a meteor (which is what I said, not meteoroid) is what we see when the body enters the atmosphere and flares up. A meteoroid refers to a body smaller than an asteroid. I was under the impression both a meteoroid and an asteroid can both be meteors - as they're entering...

Game looks great. It's a shame whoever made the reveal trailer doesn't know the difference between an asteroid and a meteor though.

Easy. Kristian Nairn as Hodor. Absolutely nails his lines 100% of the time.

Actual subject matter of that video aside: If there was House 'Quisition in Game of Thrones, its sigil would be a black Belladona Bitchfist rampant upon a red field. That's a banner I'd flock to. CAPTCHA: general tso... more like General Jim - the gaming industry needs a revolution.

Jokes about the YouTube commentariat never get old. Keep up the good work guys, here's to 500 more!

Ah, the Game Gear. So many memories of whiling away my youth glued to one of those. Glad to see Columns and Sonic on there, they were cracking titles. Still adore the Columns music today too.

I don't think I've played a single good Star Trek game since I played Star Trek: 25th Anniversary... in 1992! What an excellent point-and-click adventure that was - I never got tired of its Red Shirt jokes. The last time I tried to install it, it was sadly unplayable due to the animation...

You know, I wouldn't be particularly upset if Jim took over Escape to the Movies on Friday. I know this is a retrospective piece he does here but... Jim's a pretty good film reviewer as well as a games reviewer. I'd certainly like to hear more from him.

I hope we're going to get Best Sidekick ever now. HK-47, meatbags (does he count as a sidekick?)

I'm hoping it will work pretty much as advertised. Detecting muscle movement from electrical activity isn't even anything new, just look at the prosthetics industry. I saw a TV show recently that showed some incredible robot hands which took their input from a very similar system... and that was...
