    Smite's controversial 'Grapist' match of the day

    Wow... Just, wow. I can't believe what anyone in this thread is saying. You're all talking like sexual assault and rape is some far removed event... instead of something that's intensely common, and one of the leading causes for PTSD. I've hung around The Escapist for years and I've pumped...

    What would make you stop watching X

    Eh, yeah. Escapist entertainers like Yatzhee or Jim's entire job revolves around giving their opinion on things. They're public figures who are meant to influence with their words. And while I don't believing in policing what a person can or can't do (so long as it doesn't infringe on...

    I keep alienating everyone

    Yo, my dad does this. And let me just say tone is everything. Sometimes he's not even saying anything particularly intelligent or above anyone's head, but if you're not careful on how you convey yourself people will start calling you a condescending ass. And people will take that...

    1ReasonWhy We Need_to Change the Way We Fight Against Sexism

    It sounds like she's lived a very blessed, very sheltered life. But... honestly, she's still in her undergrad, and it's hard to take a single, limited experience as anything more than a footnote. Not that she isn't eloquent, not that she doesn't have a point (that I even agree with, albeit...

    Poll: Elizabeth's 1st or 2nd outfit?

    The first one. Not only was it gorgeous, the second one never really seemed to suit her. Nevermind the fact it was introduced with a bird's eye view of cleavage, and the corset was wayyy too tight. The hair wasn't killer either.

    Poll: Female protagonist day.

    Huhh, honestly, wonderful idea. I think it'd definitely be a message to developers and it'd draw the right sort of attention. There's a lot of hee and haw'ing from some naysayers, and their criticism is at least somewhat valid. But... I don't think publishers are going to release a game with...

    Who is your famous crush?

    Gavin Free and Michael Jones, hell yes. The slow process of going, "Wow theses goofs are ridiculous", "Hahaa oh you", to "Wow he has gorgeous eyes" is absolutely wonderful.

    Which pokemon would you want, as a pet?

    Gyarados. A flying sea serpent, capable of destroying cities with his temper. I would land every job I ever wanted, ever.

    A quick question about your friends

    1. Do you have more friends of the same sex, or of the opposite sex? I more friends of the same sex and my closest friends have been of the opposite sex. 2. Do you have more heterosexual friends, or more non-heterosexual friends? Only one of my friends believes in binary, black and white...

    What do you think of men passing abortion laws?

    Hm, there's a lot of discussion about how women voted these people into office and that these public officials represent the combined voices of their constituents. And that's all true- in theory. I think it's still pretty clear that, at least for now, the glass ceiling still very much...

    Poll: What Increases Immersion For You The Most?

    Having a story and deep, complex characters that I can empathize with is essential. I'm a little surprised this isn't an option! Almost all games (excluding multi) are story based. Even MMOs have a plot. If the story is lackluster, my PC is a dud, and the NPCs are awful, I can't get through the...

    Lifting Weights, Running, and Motivation

    Mm, 4chan has a board called /fit/. The sticky there is incredibly helpful, provides a lot of good websites, will help you calculate your BMR to ensure your diet is in check, etc. I would also recommend getting Starting Strength, which has received a lot of praise and is worth a read. You can...
