    Poll: Who still watches Extra Credits?

    I feel 100% the same way. It's a great show, and each episode is different, and I'm sure the topics will stay as varied and interesting as they have always been. I think that, while not perfect, the personal 121 style was appropriate for that topic. It worked and I got the message. Only thing...

    Battlefield 3 Beta - Your Thoughts?

    Doesn't run on XP? sadface. Guess I'll not bother with the pre-order then. I'll wait until I actually get around to installing windows7. Looks pretty fun tho, seems more like "Bad Company 3", but I got no problem with that.

    Violent women.

    Its probably not really men having a problem with women demonstrating more than "one ounce of strength or conviction in who they are" Its people dealing with people they feel are arrogant. If your confident, it's GOING to rub some people the wrong way. It happens, it's really easy to walk...

    Why isn't a gun considered an elegant weapon?

    I agree. To wield a sword effectively you must hone your body. You are as much a part of the weapon as it is a part of you, it's an extension of you. With a gun there is a level of detachment. The gun does most of the work. Also any weapon designed to miss most of the time (like a machine...

    This Game Needs a Remake/Re-Release

    The space-flight game seems to have gone out of fashion or something. Other than the X series there hasn't really been an attempt to revitalize the genre I loved Xwing/TIE Fighter/Freespace 2/Xwing Alliance I guess freelancer was pretty good too. Space dogfights for the win!

    What would you do in this scenario?

    If I consider them my equals, then I'd respect the spider, and pity and butterfly.

    If you were forced to have only one emotion/emotional state,what would it be?

    Focused Determination Anything that's possible would be attainable with focused determination. I can't really see the downside of it, I'd be an unstoppable bad-ass and they would speak my name in legends for generations. It would be the "make the most out of it" superpower. Security code...

    Poll: Star Wars - the correct order?

    I agree man, even the movie poster for episode 1 had little Anakin Skywalker with Darth Vader's shadow. If you didn't understand who Darth Vader was and why he's important to the plot then you would probably have hated the little kid on sight. But once you see the whole father-son galactic...

    Origin, why?

    I remember seeing talk similar to this when valve first released steam. "I have to connect to the internet to play HL2... wtf?" I dislike the offline system for steam. It's irritating that you can't have some sort of physical authentication. Like a unique usb stick thing or whatever. I...

    Poll: Tali Reveal

    It seems the escapist is still "building a consensus, please try again later." I think I'll leave the decision firmly in the hands of Bioware. Either way it will be interesting to see what they put forward in the final product. In this case I do not think I shall attempt to judge my own...

    I want drug users, smokers, alcoholics to explain this to me (seriously)

    The thing that keeps me sane in my life is my friends. Without them it would be tough for me to escape the shit of day-to-day and have a good time. For me, a session of smoking weed, or a night out to the pub, is a break away from the futility of life; the ability to let go and not care. Even...

    I Hate Emoticons

    Stab in the dark here, but if you got you're avatar from 4chan you'd be familiar to "reaction" images, right? Emoticons are the same thing, they've just been around for longer. If posting a reaction image was as easy as 2 keystrokes like :o :/ :D then maybe everyone would use reaction...

    Poll: Arming the UK Police

    "Can't do unlawful things" Because it is against the law? The only laws that cannot be broken are the laws of nature. Every other law is a choice. Arresting someone without charging them with an offence (and without having substantial evidence to support the arrest) is against the law. Most...
