    Escapists, what are your deep dark gaming secrets?

    When I was young and the Orange Box was new, I was stupid enough to buy the game preowned and ended up having to buy it a second time. Don't tell anybody, it's real embarrassing.

    Poll: Cel-Shading is ugly

    I find cel shading to be a nice change of pace from realistic graphics as well. It was part of the reason I was immediately attracted to Sly Cooper when I first saw it. It matched the comic book tone and I think it looks wonderful. Other than that, everything else has already been said.

    Career Choice Worries

    I've sort of felt this way. I'm going to school for physics and have wanted to be a scientist for a long time. My problem is that there are so many different jobs you can get in science and I have no idea which one is the one I would most enjoy having. Maybe I find I like learning about science...

    Who Was the Real Villian of Bioshock Infinite? Spoilers

    Is that how it went down? It seemed to me that, by killing Booker, they had prevented any realities where he existed after the baptism. I thought Elizabeth said that as long as he had the option to refuse baptism, there was going to be another reality where he didn't, so the only way to really...

    Who Was the Real Villian of Bioshock Infinite? Spoilers

    This discussion can't really be had without involving major spoilers for Bioshock Infinite. Don't keep reading if you haven't finished it, you poor soul. I loved Bioshock Infinite. The more I play it, the MORE I love it. I did, however, have a moment when I just had to sit and think about...

    What games do women play?

    The last three games I've played are Bioshock Infinite, Garry's Mod, and Minecraft. The reason I like Bioshock so much is because I always enjoy a game, or a movie or a book or anything really, that has a good story and great characters. I can get past tediousness or poor mechanics (to a...

    Poll: So you're trick-or-treating and...morality!

    I sucked as a kid no matter how much I tried to hide it, so I'd take a handful or two, trying to cherry-pick all the good stuff. And I'm pretty sure I was a ghost for a few years in a row, so odds are I as a ghost. Or maybe I was a ghost when I was like, 12, and I was that weird looking...

    Is this morally bad?

    Your wording scares me, but as long as you're not killing civilians I guess...it's...ok...? Your desires are difficult to condone.

    Things that were more/less expensive then you thought?

    I found out earlier this week that getting a grande Chai Latte at Starbucks costs less than a tall Pumpkin Spice Latte. Time for breakfast.

    Plot twists and big reveals you solved by yourself

    Spoilers for Isaac Asimov's Robots of Dawn. For those who haven't ever read it, there is a highly advanced robot who became locked in an infinite loop and became completely useless because of it. There was one other robot like it, both of which were made by this one scientist guy and...

    Stupid conspiracys

    Couple of people have said this one, but it's one of the best. The Moon Landing Hoax. Ohhh God the hours of enjoyment there is to be had watching videos and reading articles written by these people. I've seen quite a few but don't have the links, but just search it on YouTube and take your...

    You have the power to bring back one cancelled TV show...

    Umm, I never really watched a variety of TV, and even less so now that I'm older, but I'd like to see Danny Phantom again. That sh*t was real.

    Gaming Companies Stop Sitting on GREAT Licenses!

    So what you MEAN to say is that they should start making sequels to games you like and stop making sequels to games that you don't like, instead of saying you're getting sick of sequels and then turning right back around and saying that they're not making enough sequels. I don't really have...

    Wow, this has to be one of the worst advertisements ever. (WoW related)

    There's nothing wrong with the commercial. It's a funny reversal of stereotypical gender roles. Calm down. And you're bringing the economy into a discussion about the importance of the commercial for a completely superfluous video game. Good job.

    were you ever bullied in school?

    Yeah, though mostly by assholes who are probably all poverty-stricken 20-year-old parents or drug-addicts by now, so I never let it really bother me. The thought of their suffering keeps me warm at night. There was no physical abuse or anything (though I think I was tripped once?), just...
