    The Escapist Show: Episode 37: Happy Birthday

    Happy Birthday Escapist. When is Barbie going to get her own jump-out-of-cake-themed video series on the escapist?

    Unskippable: Damnation

    I could not stop looking at the lady character and her pouting lips. Hrrrrrrrm. (It's not pouting, but I don't know the proper word for it either, so pouting will do)

    Cheers MovieBob, great as ever.

    Doomsday Arcade: Episode 12

    This had me in stitches: "You fight like a dairy farmer. How appropriate, you fight like a yogurt." Awesome as usual guys!

    Does Using Google Make You Smarter?

    No, the internet doesn't make you smarter. What this company researched and rightly concluded, is that by researching thinking, asking questions, finding answers, yadayadayada, you're using your brain. And using your brain is good for your brain. The only thing the internet does is open up an...

    America's Army Devs Let Go One Day After Launch

    Since when is money a problem for releasing shameless US army propaganda?

    Left 4 Dead 2: Why the Boycott Is a Good Thing

    Sounds like 30000 people are whining for a free game and the guy that's rallying the troops is a tool. I've never played Left 4 Dead, but from what I read here this "expansion" is no small thing, rejecting that argument based on "they added a weapon to TF2 as well!" is just stupid. It shows that...

    Words that have lost all meaning to you...

    "Fact" - every terrible e-debater, journalist, blogger and Wendy commercial is talking about these like saying 'fact' three times in a row makes whatever nonsense they're blurting out come true. Facts are great, because they're facts, please don't spoil them by rubbing your Sarah Palin...

    The Escapist Presents: MovieBob Reviews Star Trek

    I don't really get the complaining in here. After watching the review again it wasn't even all that negative, or had a lot of swearing, or was any more like ZP than every wannabe edgy comment posted in here. Yes, it's nerdrage directed at stuff you like, get over it. If you need some faceless...

    TGC 2009: Peter Tamte Keynote

    This looks very promising. If they manage to combine the story they want to tell with CoD4-like gameplay it will definitely be a very good game.

    Unskippable: Ace Combat 6

    This cutscene may have been worse than Eternal Sonata, it hurt to watch it, even with it being made fun of every other line.

    The Escapist Show: Episode 25: Fallen Earth

    Looks pretty nice. Though I'd like to have seen something more on the MMO aspect of the game. What do those 6 factions do? What is their objective, besides the generic "rule the earth", and how are the players of different factions going to interact. Etc etc etc, from what I see in this video...

    GDC 2009: Eyjo Gudmundsson - Eve Online Economist

    Interesting. Since it's still just a game not everything hold true, but it's really quite nice to see a game market actually responding to all kinds of events in the game. Not just mayor patches bringing new content, but also large conflicts and territory changing hands etc.

    Zero Punctuation: Halo Wars

    I loved it.

    Unskippable: Star Ocean: The Last Hope

    Very funny episode. Definitely a successful experiment, hopefully more like this will pop up on the escapist. Can't wait for the next ZP now!
