    Escapist News Wrap: SWTOR Goes Free-to-Play

    Neccecary? NECCECARY? Have you all gone mad!? Good video :P, just might want to correct the typo ;).

    Something you expect can't be horrifying

    If someone tells me they're going to show me a spider eating a bird, I'm still horrified when I eventually see it despite the advanced warning. Fuck spiders, is what I'm saying.

    Whats your opinion of the Police in your country?

    The Seattle Police Department seems to go into full-on SWAT mode a bit too easily, and they were unnecessarily confrontational during the Occupy protests. They've also been deleting and hiding dash cam videos to cover up improper conduct, so yeah, I don't have a lot of respect for the leadership...

    Zero Punctuation: Yakuza: Dead Souls

    I am the only one who saw the title of this video and thought it was an april fool's joke?

    Zero Punctuation: Mass Effect 3

    Surprised you didn't go into how batshit insane the ending was. For someone who espouses video game writing as being an important factor in a good video game, not highlighting the staggering failures in basic narrative structure seems like an oversight. Then again, pretty much all the good...

    Jimquisition: The Positive Side of Mass Effect 3's Ending Drama

    No one is pissed off at the ending because it's sad (or at least not the majority.) I went into Mass Effect 3 fully expecting a bad ending, because I didn't really see a way to beat the Reapers head on. In fact I think an ending showing a valiant last stand against the Reapers would have been...

    Mass Effect 3's Ending Was Intended To Polarize

    Oh I'll remember it Hudson. I'll remember this ending next time I think of buying a Bioware game.

    George Lucas is "Retiring" From Film

    Greedo shooting first completely alters the dynamic of the scene (and makes the scene make no sense), and betrays Lucas to be completely incapable of writing believable characters. See, Greedo is a bounty hunter, he's in this for the money (namely the price on Han's head). Him shooting first...

    What are you thoughts about Vegetarianism and why do you feel that way?

    I want to know when vegetarian went from being a simple dietary choice to some kind of deranged philosophy. I know vegetarians, and respect them for being able to refrain from juicy juicy meats and their greasy byproducts, but I honestly don't know why being a vegetarian has become some kind of...

    The Witcher 2 Pirated "Roughly 4.5 Million" Times, Says Dev

    Sure is a large number, but spending money on putting in a DRM system wouldn't have shrunk the number by an significant margin. Most DRM programs are cracked within a day of release, and sometimes it's cracked before release. The most successful DRM I've heard of was Ubisoft's always on DRM...

    Skyrim: What turned out to be bullshit?

    I did exactly the same thing with that quest!

    Skyrim: Disappointed in the Dragons

    The dragons start appearing more frequently as you progress through the main story, or at least that's how it seems to me, though I could be wrong and it might just be coincidence.

    Something Important Happens on 11/11/11 (Not Another Skyrim Thread)

    The Armistice that unofficially ended WWI came into effect at 11am on the 11th of November 1918, which is why it's a celebrated date in the countries that fought in that war.

    Jimquisition: Will Grand Theft Auto V Have No Balls?

    No hard feelings at all, I love to talk about the finer points of writing and storytelling, and you made me consider some things. Especially about Marston's dumb luck and naivete, which now that I think about it in those terms, makes the story make a bit more sense. Perhaps it was because I was...

    Jimquisition: Will Grand Theft Auto V Have No Balls?

    Unfortuantely this is where Rockstar always runs into a problem, the jarring difference between what's possible for the character in the game and what the story suggests you can do. Now personally I killed around 30 US Marshalls in a single go around playing through the game, and the story...
