    Retail jobs: the dumbest customer question you've been asked?

    I work in a clothing store, so I mostly get stupid requests for directions. Some gems: "Where are your fitting rooms?" When I'm MANNING THEM! "Where's the lift?" When I'm stood under the sign clearly pointing to the lift. "Where's the sale area?" when the sale area is highlighted by giant...

    With Zero Punctuation puttering--will the Escapist survive?

    Two reasons why this downward trend is possibly happening. 1. ZP is on youtube so a lot of potential site traffic could be from there. 2. The data shown so far does not show actual traffic, but the Escapist's rank compared to other websites. Other websites could be getting more popular as...

    With Zero Punctuation puttering--will the Escapist survive?

    The best way of showing some sort of downward trend is to check traffic numbers specifically from Wednesdays. Using yearly trends isn't a fair way of deciding the decline of one series. for all we know from those numbers, Zero punctuation could be keeping the site alive while the other shows are...

    So... Half Life 3...

    Next year it will be six years since we last saw a Half-Life release. The gap between HL1 and HL2 was six years. So...if we're lucky we will see HL3 next year! This is my shameless optimism shining through but Valve haven't let us down so far.

    Jimquisition: You Should Be Mad at Diablo III's Always Online DRM

    I don't agree with it one bit, but if people are used to playing WoW online all the time, they could just be putting up with what they're used to. They should really be protesting. If EA pulled this shit they would be attacked. Why do Blizzard get a free ride?

    Does anyone on the Escapist use a Mac?

    *laughs hysterically* Look, I have no issue with people who use macs. My girlfriend's family have a Mac as their main family computer. I however have many problems with them as machines. The design, the mouse, and the fragility of the keyboard to name just a few small things.

    Dev explains why Skyrim lag wont get fixed.

    Typical PC user, always thinking you are above others, displaying an arrogance I've never actually seen before. People can choose to buy whatever system they like for gaming. Just because you can afford a rig that can play modern games doesn't make you better than others. God this is my current...

    Poll: First or Third-person view in Skyrim?

    Can we please have a dedicated Skyrim thread or something? I love the game, but all these threads are kinda ridiculous. First person by the way.

    Jimquisition: Sony, Nintendo, EA and SOPA

    A big issue that I noticed with SOPA. I originally thought that reviews wouldn't be too badly affected by SOPA because companies depend on them (and metacritic scores) for sales and publicity. Then I thought, with these powers, companies could single out negative reviews and remove them...

    One of Yahtzee's lines are stuck in my head...

    I loved the WoW: Cataclysm review, where Yahtzee described the spell mirror image and said "it might as well be called "Reap on, ye fucking reaper man!"" It made me laugh so much!

    Has/did your school ever pull a dick move?

    They are currently pulling the most erect of dick moves. Before now, we had free periods, where the time was our own. Now they've changed them to "study" periods, where we have to stay and do work, and get a teacher to sign to say we've done work during the time! With 13 1 hour free periods a...

    Skyrim Gets 15 Rating in UK

    The BBFC for those not in the know, is the British Board of Film Classification. It is one of the two ratings systems enforcable in our country, the second being PEGI. It is known as the more lenient of the two ratings systems, but still, I wouldnt say it condones bestiality. I think people are...
