    Growing Public Apathy on Climate Change Topic Worries Scientists

    I remember in the 2000's on MuchMusic in Canada, they were running a set of awareness commercials that said we have until 2012 to change things or by then it's completely and utterly too late. We didn't make the changes as far as I am aware, and it's now 2 years passed the deadline. Needless...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Screens Arrive Unexpectedly

    I give no damns about the brightness, since it looks better than DAO/2 by a mile so pfft. Also, please let the dwarf in number 9 be Varik! Yes I know the hair colour but I can dream! Also, the 'fandumb' hatedoms of the games are there, but they do not dominate the market. Internet...

    Kim Coindashian: The Altcoin That Wants To Be Taken Seriously (Kind Of)

    I thought that everybody was clear that this was just a bunch of people trying to annoy another bunch of people, not a serious attempt at currency making. You can relax, no one is making a living and/or making the world worse with this. Just TMZ style harassment.

    What game(s) have you wanted to like...

    Ditto. Didn't help that I had friends and Husband hype it for me and press me to play, so maybe my heart was just never in it to begin with. Torchlight 1: I was playing on hard, blind playthrough, and it was just so easy. I just stopped after the second day playing cause I was nearly done...

    Movie Defense Force: The Chronicles of Riddick

    I love this movie, I have watched it more times than I can count, including the dvd commentary versions. I was watching it when it played on tv when I owned the dvd, and then watched the dvd later. I am wholly not part of the irony swilling crowd.

    Science Discovers the Secret to Successful Writing

    I'm not telling them they need to go broke making this, but 800 seems like a puny sample size. No comment about the rest...

    Failed Topics That You Felt Were Worth Discussion.

    Oh, I've had a few failed topic, non-gaming. Don't really care now though cause I've found somewhere and some people who'll actually discuss things. Things about governments using your sexual habits as way to shore-up a case against you for an unrelated cyber offense, and a few other things I...

    Failed Topics That You Felt Were Worth Discussion.

    Is this the official 'dredge up old drama' thread? I really hope not, but if I come back and tomorrow this has 300 replies I'll have my answer :P. Also, escapist isn't really the best place to do anything by whine a ton and throw hyperbole at each other. I know it's hard to find somewhere...

    Poll: Have random people ever asked you to cheer up?

    Not from strangers nope. I have mastered the art of the neutral public mask. Being unhappy in my house growing up was a crime so yeah, I learned quick. If anyone said that to me in public I'd take it as them being offended by my personal feelings, which are none of their business and...

    Funniest YouTube channels?

    Markiplier! He's also an absolute sweetheart. Aside from screaming for our amusement he's held charity fundraisers and raised $200k for charity. He's really genuine and cares about his fans so much. He's also not an idiot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nryDE8mZPOg&list=SP58D8AC6A97A69F45...

    Square Enix Locks Down New Thief Screens

    So the screens are grey, brown, grey, grey, brown, brown, and brown-grey? Does colour occur in the game or did our stalwart and stick-fingered hero take some damage to his eyes? Since the grey is blue-y and I see some yellowiness so I kinda feel like I'm looking through the eyes of someone with...

    games you like but you can?t play very well.

    Caesar 3. I've had it since I was 10 and I still can't finish. I need to stop trying to make a city that looks good while functioning well and just try and game the system, learn the exact walking distance numbers and make a coder's city.

    Obduction Kickstarter Lands $500,000 in Five Days

    Bumping thread in the interest of getting some people to see this. I feel kinda ashamed I didn't notice this thread the first time, but at least I saw the news report before and will be pledging. I'm struggling with how much to pledge but I will not let this company just die! I was there...

    RAGE QUIT!!!! Any moments you have done it and why?

    Myst 4 Revelations. Only game I ever just stopped playing and uninstalled, for any reason. I just started screaming and didn't fully stop till I uninstalled. It wasn't even for the painful as hell timed puzzles but for that one in the jungle with the sounds makers. You had to have a...

    SimCity Studio "Exploring the Possibility" Of Offline Mode

    Oh god, I started laughing the moment I read the headline. We all said this was going to happen the moment we head about the guy who hacked his into offline mode. I bet at no point will they ever admit they've lied, they'll just keep on going acting like not admitting anything means no one knows.
