    My Super Nintendo just got stolen

    *sigh* I'm reading your overly detailed description of the events leading up to the discovery of the theft wondering why there is this much exposition. Your work, your kitchen, your prefered nighttime wind-down activity and then the "crime". Your sister took your SNES without asking? Are...

    Final Fantasy VI Fan Film Aims to Bring Classic RPG to Life

    It looks quite bad. I think a lot of it has to do with the angle every scene is presented at because the greenscreen is somebody's green bed sheet. The actors don't look like they're occupying an environment, they look like they're in a novelty photograph taken at an amusement park. Too bad...

    The Generic Topic Thread

    I often read the forums here on The Escapist and really only comment when I feel like I have something to add. Lately, I haven't commented much at all because the topics (or more precisely the ten topics I see when I land on the homepage) are almost always a flavor of the same common themes...

    What are your favourite attacks or upgrades in gaming?

    Good topic! My favorite active abilities are the "AoE/GroundPound" attacks, to help with swarming enemies, knock them off there feet or in the case of MMOs get a hit on every surrounding enemy to gain aggro or atleast "tag" them for my XP. My favorite passive abilities are those armor...

    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    I'm trying to remember an old game that I saw a friend play a long time ago like 1990, it was a platformer with a Conan The Barbarian type character. THe game had a lot of "verticality" with ladders and such, so it was basically Blackthone/Prince of Persia style level design with a barbarian who...

    Changing my name (Yes I'm serious)

    This sounds ridiculous...my guess is your turning 18 years old and think you're a fully fleshed out person...why don't you get one video game tattoo and see how that goes.

    Game Launch Brouhahas

    I am collecting a list of troubled game launches and was hoping the Escapist community could help me out. When I say "troubled game launches" I mean a game that when released either through technical (Simcity) or mechanical (MassEffect 3 Ending) issues the community was in an uproar about...

    Should I buy SimCity?

    I think the big issue is that a few years ago to play a single player game you had to "Press Start to Play" not authenticate on a server that perpetually hangs over your head like the Sword of Damocles where at any moment you might disconnect and lose progress.

    Ever Watched A TV Episode That Pissed You Off So Much You Quit Watching The Series?

    BSG. The 3rd season, boxing episode. Everybody apparently boxes each other whenever their not being attacked by Cylons - 5'2" Women are beating the fuck out of 6' 2" men and everyone believes that's a likely scenario. The VERY next episode their apparently suffering a food shortage due to...
