    Poll: So some people don't like the Escapist...

    I was indeed talking about people as a group not as individuals. As for the #1 reason I have no idea. I know what things I myself don't like, but I don't assume I'm representative of people in general.

    Poll: So some people don't like the Escapist...

    This. And this actually, far too often. Having the "wrong" opinion definitely seems to get the moderators trigger-happy.

    These Forum's moderators

    No moderator is perfect, but some are better than others. A year ago the moderation here was a joke. Now it's much better IMO. I personally think the RoC could do with some serious tweaking, but the moderators mostly do an acceptable job of enforcing the current rules. I think it's quite...

    Poll: So some people don't like the Escapist...

    I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, OP. My opinion of the escapist? My opinion of people who don't like the escapist? My theory as to why they don't like it? People like and dislike things for a lot of different reasons (many of which they themselves often do not understand) and it'd be...

    US History and actual History.

    I'm not aware of any post-hoc rationalisations of Dresden. IIRC Arthur "Bomber" Harris was extremely forthright in his opinion that (paraphrasing) the Germans, after terror bombing London, deserved everything they got and more.

    Poll: Testing a Bioshock Theory

    Well the poll has gone around the world once (24 hours) and so far 76% of Americans are 'besotted' vs 70% of non-Americans. Close enough to call it even, and put my theory to bed. Thanks to all who voted.

    How do you define your nationality?

    Why not just say you're half-English half-Scottish?

    ''Wait... they're voiced by the same person?!''

    I don't recognise a single character you just named lol. But I've read that he is a prolific voice actor.

    ''Wait... they're voiced by the same person?!''

    Luke Skywalker (i.e. Mark Hamill) is The Joker. This blows my mind.

    Steam rating and Top Three Steam games

    I have been using Steam for like 10 years now and I never knew I had a Steam Rating. So now I have to look at it of course. It's a 10. I don't even know what that means.

    Poll: Elizabeth or Alyx Vance?

    *looks at poll results* So what you're saying is that most escapist forumites prefer a damsel in distress to a tough woman? ;)

    Poll: Testing a Bioshock Theory

    I didn't think/realise that 'besotted' was an unusual word. Maybe I'm getting old and it's gone out of fashion. I'm also surprised at the number of people claiming that Infinite is not particularly American. Enslaved blacks? Massacred Native Americans? The founding fathers? Yeah, every...

    Who has a brag worthy machine?

    OK, I'll post my specs. Colour: black. Height: about the same as my shin bone. Sound: a faint whirring that gets louder in direct proportion to the number of Skyrim mods installed. Cooling system: a big hole where the side of the casing should be. Cleaning system: the hoover.

    Poll: Testing a Bioshock Theory

    Just to be clear: I wasn't talking about "America Fuck Yeah". I don't see Infinite as that sort of game at all. It's just very American in its setting, visuals, themes, historical references, etc.

    Poll: Testing a Bioshock Theory

    The thought actually occurred to me some time ago, when Dishonored was released. I wondered if Europeans would like it more because of the European architecture and whatnot. Now BI is out and I find myself wondering essentially the same thing about that game. So far the poll results suggest my...
