I feel if it's a kind of game where you aren't in control of the story and events to great effect, the choice for gender isn't neccessary because it'd be like reading a novel and going at it with a red pen to change things. The story was written specifically for that character alone. I happily...

I'm having problems watching this video. Every other video on the Escapist works fine but this one. Anyone got a solve?

I read in a separate article that the crew get 250 cartridges amongst themselves. The rest will be given to the town to sell. Hopefully some will end up in the hands of collectors and/or museums. Not sure if this is verified - you never know, things might change if literally a million...

Shame not to see any of the dwarves from The Hobbit. Just about all of them have some unique and epic facial hair.

I think the first game/music link for me was playing an RTS in 2000 or the late 90's. Can't even remember the game's title. The very first mission had this awesome guitar track and I played the mission over and over again just to hear it. Turns out it was 'War' by Joe Satriani. Got the...

Mine is 'The Device' from an audio drama series called Miniser of Chance. It belongs to the eponymous character and opens a doorway through another dimension. Its appearance is not described in detail but soon the series will be a movie so who knows? I'll have a picture of the real thing soon...

I wish you could enable/disable random encounters across all games. Like when you play Pokemon and want to level your pet army for a Gym Leader battle, turn it on and go running through a cave or field of grass. Then when you decide you're strong enough, you can disable it and get to where you...

I'm a female gamer. I love my FPSs as much as the next man (or woman). I don't feel romance is necessary at all in games. You can be a fully rounded human being and save the universe without locking lips with a lady about to burst out of her spandex space suit. In fact, saving the universe...

So many vague or long-forgotten memories came back watching this clip! Aah all those odd afternoon cartoons filling in time before the 5pm News...

In its day Rockford Files was big. I know recently (a couple years ago) they were planning on rebooting it and making it present day rather than 1970's L.A. Fortunately it was scrapped. To me it belongs in the 70's. I'd like to see Rockford repeated on TV again. James Garner put his heart...

I think that's god's way of telling us to stay the hell out of the ocean.

In response to the 'Why do they keep saying "Marvel's The Avengers"', I could be mistaken, but I thought it was called 'Marvel's The Avengers' or 'Avengers Assemble' in the UK because of a popular classic British TV series and subsequent movie about a crime-fighting duo called 'The Avengers'...

I play Star Trek Online and I enjoy the fact that if I read the quest and comprehend the information, like we're taught to do in school, I don't need directions. I think it should be optional for the gamer to turn on or off directional help. Or make it part of the 'Easy' setting whereas...

My brother has a myriad of old games we played during our impressionable childhood, but my own personal collection has: Private Eye ('96) Doctor Who: Destiny of the Doctors ('97) Unfortunately the latter won't fully play on my laptop.

Film: Pirates of the Caribbean 2 (or 3 or both really) Book: Breaking Dawn (Twilight and the others were bad enough - I read them to raise money for charity, I didn't do it out of interest in case you're wondering) Game: Kane and Lynch 2 (This one was root canal)
