    Discworld Author Sir Terry Pratchett Has Died At 66

    I first ran into his work in the form of the point and click adventure games where Eric Idle voiced Rincewind. It wasn't until a few years later that my sister and I discovered this delightful world was actually written in various novels. When I first picked up Color of Magic he was cemented as...

    Video Games Live Creator Talks Kickstarter

    Having just saw my first concert of theirs when they were on the East Coast, I can say I wish I had known they existed for all these years. Normally I'm pretty cynical about CEO and the corporate types like I thought Tallarico was, but you can't be that passionate without being at least a little...

    Poll: What sequel do you desire the most?

    Other: Eternal Darkness 2. I am not a fan of horror in pretty much any form, just not my bag really, but that game sucked me in like few else, and I wanted more in that world and in that story. I know it'll never happened because they made Too Human instead, which tanked, incidentally I'd...

    Plot twists and big reveals you solved by yourself

    I'm actually really good at it, annoyingly so actually that my friends just tell me to shut up if I'm about to say something about a game or movie, but the funny thing is that I did not at all see the KotoR twist coming, probably because I didn't know crap about Star Wars really. Heck I played...

    BioWare Co-Founder Promises Closure For Mass Effect 3

    So you prefer blind obedience instead of someone who will actively call you on something that doesn't make sense? Well, I guess that's something, but really, I would entirely disagree. I don't see anything fair weather about these fans. Sure you can point to one or two who are indeed out of...

    Escapist Podcast: Bonus: Mass Effect 3 With Spoilers Part 2

    Hey there all, it's been over a year since I've even been on the Escapist, but when I saw this podcast I just had to come back and comment. First of all, I was stunned by the endings because much like the one gentleman said, I felt nothing from them. I was literally in tears watching Morden ride...

    Do you recommend FFIX?

    Ooo Ooo I wanna parrot the same thing too, heh! Yes, I would recommend FFIX the most out of all the ones I've played/seen through. I think it's the best because it's turned back the emo angst of 7 and 8 to a much more manageable levels. Also it's got some decently amusing moments peppered...

    Legal Technicality Protects Bot-Using WoW Players From Copyright Lawsuits

    Hahaha, Thank you, you truly made my day so much better than it was. I didn't even realize what I left myself open for there.

    Legal Technicality Protects Bot-Using WoW Players From Copyright Lawsuits

    Because those people are lazy, instant gratification desiring losers? Sorry, I hate bot users and hackers in a general sense and also totally fail to understand their appeal.

    Legal Technicality Protects Bot-Using WoW Players From Copyright Lawsuits

    Basically, it's a contractual breach to use a Bot. This means they can terminate your account because you have gone against the EULA and license, not committed copyright infringement. This is because copyright infringement would give them a huge legal lever against large groups and organizations...

    Test Your Mental Might With The Escapist's First-Ever Puzzle Adventure!

    Any chance of a slightly more narrow clue for number two of day three? I've read the one given, and I'm just utterly stumped. Though I'm proud to say today is the first day I got one all by myself. Sad that it took me three days, I know, but I am apparently not that good at puzzles.

    Question of the Day, December 13, 2010

    Portal 2 for me. I like TES as a series, but I don't give a darn about the Nords. I was really hoping for a more interesting region than genera-Vikings. Also I haven't played ME2 yet, so I'm not really super psyched for the third one. I do enjoy how few votes MK is getting though, but that's...

    Question of the Day, December 9, 2010

    Huh, never heard of either of them. Kind of interesting to look over though.

    Question of the Day, December 9, 2010

    Not sure how relevant this is to the overall discussion, but I have to ask because I'm always curious about system preference. What have you been playing lately?

    Question of the Day, December 9, 2010

    Good for you, though I think the point of this discussion is talk about which ones we like, not to just try and get a rise from fans because you dislike a popular and prolific writer and the setting/system he happens to use as a framing device. Aren't we supposed to try and be a little nicer all...
