    Celebrate old Escapists! The war against the newbies has been won!

    It's alright, I'm mostly a fa/tg/uy too. Thing is that's every forum, for every 'elf slave wat do' thread there's one on here about Sarkeesian being attacked by misogynists or some other wow, just wow topic. Frankly I think every forum produces mostly shit, except for job related ones which...

    Celebrate old Escapists! The war against the newbies has been won!

    I'll be completely honest, when I got banned from here I went mainly to 4chan and honestly, whilst the language is a little more, shall we say, robust and full-bodied than here the level of discourse generally on a few of the boards blows this place out of the water. Not having persistent...

    Celebrate old Escapists! The war against the newbies has been won!

    I dunno, the Internet isn't a fun and games thing any more. The Escapist is in a bad financial state and have been for years, they've been bounced around between companies and it can't be long before they're axed. Aside from fast-talking hat guy they've lost all their content creators of note...

    Celebrate old Escapists! The war against the newbies has been won!

    I guess, but in my opinion the Escapist has two main problems: 1. its main appeal outside of gamergaters is to old posters who have nostalgia and are willing to stick with the site while it's rubbish to wait for it to be good again. 2. It used to try and ban its only customers for life for...

    Of course not, if I ever decide to post again I'll just create a new profile. No need to be such a tight-ass about it, the Escapist could use any traffic it can get around now. This ain't the Internet's Lighthouse of Alexandria any more.

    Fantastic Four - Fantastic Failure

    That's something I've discussed with my friends as the Torchwood Effect. The idea is that in science fiction of all but the hardest kind I've noticed that almost any problem they come across can be solved by appropriate application of things they've already been shown to have in previous...

    Another Attack on Titan live action trailer (now with violence)

    This. Animation hides a multitude of ridiculousness and still images even more so. It's something you notice with superhero suits as well as this, when you see some of it in live action you realise how idiotic it looks in full motion.

    Taking Anime Cosplay On Its Own Terms

    Sorry, regardless of the deep psychological issues I'm sure this helps with, fat weeaboos dressed up as kawaii desu anime characters are still funny.

    Poll: Do you use an e-book reader?

    I used to be majorly into physical books but I'm hugely into ebooks now, it's great being able to carry hundreds of books with you and I love not having to turn pages and hold them open, as weird and lazy as that sounds it makes reading whilst lying on your side much easier, as does the fact...

    Windows 10 to Force Updates

    Then you got lucky, apache updates have a filthy habit of changing how config files are laid out. We had a fun one a while ago where we utterly lost a SLES box on reboot due to it nuking most of the file system. Fun times.

    Why do Europeans hate time as a unit of distance?

    Firstly, Europe isn't just one place, it is a combination of various nations and cultures so different that it makes generalising all but impossible. Secondly, I have never heard of this dislike. Ever. I think it's just you, well, either that or just people from the Americas. Thirdly...

    What if the last Two Games you played share the same Universe?

    The Witcher 3 plus Brutal Doom. So basically the Witcher 3 but with a shotgun.

    Warhammer Age of Sigmar Starter Set Review - Borehammer, Gorehammer

    That sounds promising, looking at the write-up complaining of table-centre pile-ups and getting the same complaints back from /tg/ I was thinking that a fast ranged army might be just the thing to break the deadlock.

    Warhammer Age of Sigmar Starter Set Review - Borehammer, Gorehammer

    OK, I now have a new question. How are you supposed to ensure a fair and amicable game with people you don't know?

    Warhammer Age of Sigmar Starter Set Review - Borehammer, Gorehammer

    Did you try this out with any of the other unit cards for old armies? I'd be interested in seeing how a Waywatcher heavy Wood Elf army holds up.
