    The History And Abuse of The Fedora

    Exactly! It's like... "You bastards, stop ruining hats for me, I was here before you!" Which also doubles as making me feel really really old. "Damn whippersnappers takin' m' damn hat-habit an' were's t' damn nurse with m' pills and where am I?" It's the permanent annoyance of trends...

    The History And Abuse of The Fedora

    Same here in Sweden actually. Despite wearing my hat just because I like wearing it, I've actually gotten more attention of the welcome kind with than without. Which doesn't hurt,

    The History And Abuse of The Fedora

    Personally, I have a slouchy wide-brimmed fedora that's just kinda part of my wardrobe. It's nice, but pretty far from a stylish . I bought it roughly 10 years ago, because I finally found a hat that fit me(I've got a stupidly large head), due to just kinda falling in love with it. I wear it...

    4.4 Billion Year Old Piece of Earth's Crust, Oldest Yet, Found

    Let's face it. The earth's toddler-phase was Metal as fuck. OT: Lovely to see to be honest. And hey, what's a million years or two here and there when you're counting in billions? I know if I was 4.4 billion years old, I'd be pretty happy if people mistook me for 4.399 billion years old...

    Jimquisition: Lugoscababib Discobiscuits

    Garden Of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch. -- OT: Loved the video. Personally, my problem with the combat in Bioshock Infinite wasn't the violence. It was just that I thought some parts of the combat dragged on too long. Could've used some longer breaks, basically... Still loved the...

    Unskippable: Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, Part 1

    I so want to see more... I think... like on the one hand, that was all so very dumb. Dumb to degrees I didn't think humanity had ever reached... and yet, here it is. So I somehow want to see more...

    Farewell, Escapist

    Very sad to hear it. But, such is life and all I can say is: Best of luck with the future and thank you for all your hard work, your fantastic writing and charming presence on the Podcat! Also, here's hoping you get to relax, and actually enjoy a game or two in a normal pace for a change...

    GMing From The History Book

    Eh, common sense is sadly not that common so, just as well someone wrote it down :D. Personally, I'd honestly never thought of using Woodstock as a setting. Did have a Cyberpunk-campaign loosely based on Vietnam though...

    GMing From The History Book

    Absolutely loved this article. It's actually making me want to pick up a game called Götterdämmerung(Swedish RPG published by RiotMinds in 2005) again... The rules were a pain in the ass but the setting and premise was pretty cool. Mystery/Horror RPG set in 18th Century Europe. It's a real...

    Stop-Motion Pioneer Ray Harryhausen Is Gone

    Makes me genuinely sad... so in honor of him I'm sitting here, watching the original Clash Of The Titans on BluRay with a nice cup of tea. It was one of my favourite movies growing up, and I still love it. Calibos, Medusa, the Kraken or even that freaky giant Vulture are just timeless...

    Escapist Podcast: 091: Sega & Gearbox False Advertisement Suit

    Said this on the facebook-comments too and, copypasting the meat of it since I have some other things I want to say. Hm... on the twitter-thing, I personally always TRY to just... not be a dick. That's pretty much it. But I can't resist the occassional snark to someone's one-off remark or...

    Poll: If Zero Punctuation would stop....

    Yes. I would still be coming here. Now, if all the content on the entire site stopped, be they articles, the podcast, the reviews and so on, then I'd probably stop coming here.

    Unskippable: Tales of Graces F - Part One

    I loved this episode... Not in the least because, now I feel like booting the game up. A friend gave this to me a while back, I let it sit on my shelf for like 6 months, then I booted it up... first reaction: "Egh... it'll be one of those games, huh?" mixed with "It's so lucky the combat's...

    Escapist Podcast: 080: Aliens: Colonial Marines And The Best Kind of Water

    No, but Chubby Checker, the artist, just hasn't been relevant before this for a few decades, since he was pretty much a one-hit-wonder in the 60's. And hasn't been actually-relevant since. So don't feel too bad for not knowing who he is :p. I just know because I got the question in Trivial...

    Escapist Podcast: 080: Aliens: Colonial Marines And The Best Kind of Water

    I have the exact same tech-problem... I like to see myself as a living embodiment of Murphy's Law when it comes to technology. If I am near it, it will find a way to break. Weirdly, things that *aren't* supposed to work, tends to work when I'm around... it's weird. Anyway... I could go on...
