    The need to read.

    I read Terry Pratchett's collected non-fiction, A Slip of the Keyboard, in a day. I NEVER do that. The Ex-Heroes series by Peter Clines is alright. It's zombies vs superheroes. I read the latest in 2 days. That happens slightly more often, but still not often. Shane Kuhn does a pretty...

    Is anybody else here just not interested in modern gaming?

    I did NOT expect that kind of ending from a FPS. It is now one of my favourite games of all times, because it went there.

    Is anybody else here just not interested in modern gaming?

    I'm just not that into games in general any more, and often they don't tend to get good reviews, or sound interesting or fun, for the most part, so when they all have the same growly shaved dude protagonist as the last 20, I skip them. I'm hoping Final Fantasy 15 is a return to form, but I'm...

    I never liked Final Fantasy 7

    It's interesting how it does that, and still manages to impress so many people anyway. My entrance to FF was with 8, which was much more uplifting (if you don't count the most prominent of fan theories as to the content of the end). Both games stuck with me, but 8 is my absolute favourite, 7...

    Mens Rights Activists

    So, do these actually exist? I don't go to the comments sections of articles very often (a good thing) so I don't really know for certain, but I hear the MRAs are all up in arms about Mad Max Fury Road, so apparently this is a real thing? Maybe? Or are they like an urban legend?

    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    Many of my favourite escapist shows are not here any more; it's not the end for them, but this place does feel a bit emptier with them gone, like tent poles are being removed and I'm waiting for the next ones.

    Why do so many people in the "geek" community dislike sports?

    I've just never had any interest whatsoever. Never got into them, for a long time didn't even understand them, had other interests. Also hated people. I like martial arts, sword fighting (kinda the same thing but with blades) and archery though. In principle, anyway - haven't got much...

    Something funny happened to me in The Last of Us

    I was playing it tonight, I was in the bit in the Winter segment where you're Ellie and you're riding the horse through town at speed... and I ran right through a truck. From back to front. I don't believe the doors were open. Yeah. I thought this game was supposed to be polished? :p

    Fallout 4: Los Angeles Boneyard or Boston Commonwealth?

    I so want 4 to be set in Hollywood! Shooting celebrity ghouls, like the zombies in Peter Clines' Ex-Heroes series. Among other ironic fun times...

    Words/phrases that piss you off

    Bitchy versions of "There's no money in speculative fiction" when the person is getting their info from pre-1977.

    Only just started playing Bioshock Infinite and i have mixed reactions.. especially for Elizabeth..

    The racism is there to make a point, not to inspire YOU to be more racist. I don't know if that counts as inspiring, but you know what I mean, I think. And Elizabeth is central to the narrative. Keep playing. She is the whole point.

    ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

    Whatever gets awareness/donations, really. Can't argue with results.

    Movie morals we need

    I like this thread. How about, "The day isn't always saved by so-called 'heroes'." And that hero worship is unrealistic.

    Poll: A question for the guys: Do you enjoy dancing?

    I hate dancing. I also don't know how. Because I hate it. It's a vicious cycle.

    What have you learnt today?

    That in old black and white movies, they'd make the actresses' faces shine by focusing on the nose.
