    Gaming related sentiments by Yahtzee that have stuck with you

    When I first found Yahtzee, and got past all the sarcastic, cynical bits and started to see what he really went for in games, I was incredibly happy, because I had been saying that games could very well be (and in many cases, are) the next great art form, only to be told either "LOL GAMZ R FOR...

    Bad/mediocre games that could be awesome remakes

    Yes, this is in the vein of a recent Cracked article: http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-bad-movies-that-could-be-awesome-remakes/ It really got me thinking, there are games out there with amazing premises, but somewhere along the line, the execution was either botched or not as good as it could have...

    The best book your school made you read?

    Nearly every English teacher I've had hated Ender's Game and thought that OSC was a hack, even though I loved the book, so props to your English teacher for assigning that book! OT: I'd have to say The Great Gatsby wins this one. It would have bee To Kill a Mockingbird, but I read it a few...

    "Heroics" that left a bad taste in your mouth

    I thought this too, but Desmond's decision at the end of the game pretty much took the cake in that department. He literally betrayed everything the Assassins stood for.

    Just When You Thought They Couldn't Go Any Lower...

    Exactly what I wanted to say. Hats off to you sir! OP: To go off of what canadamus said, these are the worst kinds of attention whores. They don't care what kind of attention they get, as long as someone is listening to them.

    Bad Sections In Good Games

    Assassin's Creed 3: New York part 1. It was just an incredibly annoying section of an otherwise great game Bioshock: The escort mission near the end where you're pretending to be a Big Daddy Oh, and Desmond's ending in ACIII. I was sooooooooo pissed at him.

    Poll: Shooter Weapon types

    Melee Weapons are fun as hell, but for rifles I tend to favor semi-autos. More precise and I'm still fairly mobile.

    Help me with a research paper?

    Thank you very much. And the reason I'm not defending them as art is because I've already done that in a previous paper in another class. I wrote a persuasive essay on why games can and should be considered art. However, gaming is slowly but surely (from what I've been hearing, anyways) becoming...

    Help me with a research paper?

    Hello there Escapists! For my college research writing class, we have to do a major research paper on a topic of our choosing. For my topic, I wish to explore video games as an artistic medium and ways that they can become better as an artistic medium. I have a few sources picked out and I'll...

    Game Franchise(s) with the richest lore?

    It's a tie between Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and The Elder Scrolls for me.
