    Poll: Do You Write In Cursive?

    Maybe? I was raised in England and we all wrote in cursive, and I still do. I thought everyone wrote like that? I was actually really excited to learn cursive as a kid, my teacher let me learn it early. Even now I enjoy the actual act of writing and forming pleasing looking letters on a page.

    Red Dead Redemption For PC Appears on Windows Website

    I hope this is true, i've been waiting forever for them to come out with a PC version. I hope it will be with multiplayer and DLC intact, since the only reason I lost interest was because I couldn't play multiplayer with with Xbox friends (I have a PS3).

    Spare a minute or two for a survey? / Online shopping yay or nay

    Done. What I like about MightyApe is the pickup option. I'd rather just drive along the road to get my stuff then pay for shipping, but I know that isn't the case for most people. As for online shopping in general, I like it for most things. Clothes or shoes are the worst though, I always...

    Women of the Escapist: Keeping up appearances in order to reach "perfection"

    Well, I can't really answer what "American standard" of female beauty is since i'm not American, but in my experience most guys aren't looking for supermodels. I know that guys often get stereotyped as looking for thin, blonde, attractive women, but all the guys i've met just want to date...

    wait, in the US you don't have Coffee Crisp, Aero, or Smarties?

    Is it only New Zealand that has Tim Tams? Maybe Australia does but i've never been there. As somebody who has had both Penguins and Tim Tams, i'd say that Penguins are softer and more "melt in your mouth" whereas Tim Tams are crunchier and have a harder biscuit. Personally I like Penguin bars...

    To Disk Drive or not to Disk Drive

    I love disk drives. If I want to watch a DVD I own, I just pop it in the drive and off I go. I'd love to be able to stream movies (shitty internet + no Netflix in my country makes that a no...at least legally), but even if I could stream everything and purchase digital copies, i'd still want...

    Your weird phobia/ thing you just can't stand

    Yay, other people who understand my pain! It sucks because I love going to museums and looking at natural history and zoology stuff, which is where you're more likely to find something to trigger it >.> I just... *shudder*

    Poll: Back Log: How do you determine what to play?

    Like most people have said, I do it shortest to longest. Gone Home and Limbo before something like Tomb Raider. I also try to take into account what everyone's talking about now, and what games are considered 'classics'. If I have a gap in my gaming knowledge (eg. I haven't played Half...

    Poll: Can you play a game based on the promise that it will get interesting later on?

    I can only think of one game i've done this with, and that was Kingdom Hearts 2. I know it's not a epic RPG by any stretch of the imagination, but considering I don't play RPG's the first part of the game in Twilight Town was horrible -_- I just wanted to get to the Disney so I kept playing...

    Getting your hair cut.

    (Female here) All my childhood my parents made me have short hair, so as soon as I could I let it grow down to my lower back. It was actually a really god idea, since growing it thinned it out and made it more manageable. It got in the way a bit, mainly when I was drawing or during sex...

    Your favorite game of 2013 which is not actually from 2013 ?

    Red Dead Redemption I started Red Dead Redemption when I got it back in 2011, but only got two thirds of the way through for whatever reason. Now i've gone back and replayed it to completion, plus i'm working on getting 100%, trophies, playing multiplayer, DLC etc. There's still so much...

    Poll: Is your partner also your best friend?

    Yup, and I wouldn't want it any other way. My boyfriend before my current partner was also my best friend, and we still talk even though we drifted apart. I certainly wasn't best friends with my first boyfriend though, we never really did anything but makeout. Ideally i'd like to have...

    Embarrasing gamer tags

    My old gamer tag from when I was 11 was Diecheese...because I didn't like cheese. Yeah...I don't use that anymore. I always just use Fishcactus now, since it's rarely taken and I love it. I always hate gamer tags or usernames that are given to you. Pottermore is the worst, i'm...

    People who've never taken alcohol or drugs

    I've never been drunk, and the only stuff I can stand to drink/have is strawberry jelly shots. What? They taste like cough medicine, I love that shit. I only have them maybe 2 or 3 times a year though, and I do get headachey and tired from them. Me not drinking really just comes from not...

    Zoo Tycoon Review - Chimpin' Ain't Easy

    Urgh, this game looks pretty bad. I got really excited when I first saw it announced, as I love the Zoo Tycoon series, but after watching some preview gameplay videos that excitement disappeared pretty fast. The exhibits are pre-made, so far as I can tell. You just put down an exibit and...
