    Escape to the Movies: The Amazing Spider-Man

    I finally got round to watching this review after hearing it gained a certain level of notoriety, and I can see why. The film was barely critiqued, and when it was, Bob proved contradictory. All the characters were one-note and stereotypical, but Peter Parker's character was all over the place...

    BioWare Announces Post-Ending DLC for Mass Effect 3 [Updated!]

    We're still talking about the DLC, aren't we? I'm not saying it's a good or sound strategy, I actually think it's incredibly shitty, but more people are talking about the release of Mass Effect 3 DLC in general than they would be if there was simply a decent, complete ending that didn't need...

    BioWare Announces Post-Ending DLC for Mass Effect 3 [Updated!]

    See, this is exactly what EA and Bioware are looking for. Forum pages of people discussing their DLC. Free publicity. As compelling as the indoctrination theory is (and it could EASILY just be fanboys covering up genuinely bad writing by Bioware with a better story than the writers of the actual...

    Which April Fools day joke did you fall for?

    When Daniel Bryan lost the world title in 18 seconds at Wrestlemania, I raged hard. Oh wait, that really happened.

    ME3 End: Do you agree with the Reapers?

    Oh, I agree the ending was nonsensical and bullshit. I just don't think the Reapers lacking motivation was the reason for it, rather it was the starchild appearing completely out of nowhere and giving you a meaningless, confusing A, B or C choice when Bioware promised that's not what we'd get. I...

    ME3 End: Do you agree with the Reapers?

    You know, I can buy the Reapers' reasons for wiping out life every 50,000 years. They use organics to make new Reapers, so they don't want all organics wiping out or they too will presumably, eventually, die. They're acting out of self-preservation based on machine logic. Forget all this stuff...

    Space Marine "Rips Off" Gears of War

    So much truth in this post. The game just feels a lot like Gears, only with more ham-fisted controls and no cover system. This boils down to: someone doesn't like a game I like and made a point I disagree with. He brings up several complaints in the review, and negatively comparing the game to...

    Poll: How many escapists like sports??

    Love me some sports, I do. Big fan of playing and watching football (proper football, played with a foot and a ball), and I also quite like Rugby and Cricket whenever England are involved. I also love pro wrestling, as you may tell from my avatar, although I'm not sure if you count that as a...

    Transgenders, Transsexuals, and the Whole Gamut

    Well, I don't hate them, and that's as far as I'm gonna take it. I'd never abuse anyone for that, and I could hold a conversation with them, although I'm lying if I said I wouldn't be a little uncomfortable with them. I know it seems cool that everyone puts their all-accepting liberal hat on...

    So What did you think about the Royal Wedding

    It's a celebration. I didn't watch it but I'm watching the highlights and getting drunk with friends later. It's a day off work and an excuse to be happy, and for once a major worldwide news event that isn't about thousands dying, or how you won't be able to afford your house next year, or how a...

    EXTERMINATE..... the Royal Wedding?

    I don't care, so I'm going to go on the internet and tell everyone how much I don't care because cynicism = wit, don't you know. Seriously, it's a major newsworthy event that doesn't involve a death toll in the thousands, a day off work and an excuse to go party and do something fun in the...

    Free speech and the internet.

    That's another, less hippyish reason for not doing it. I honestly just don't see the drawback in being a bit laid-back towards criticism and arguments besides a bruised ego though. Obviously when things devolve into name-calling action should be taken, but I think even heated debates can be...

    Did you get banned on any other forums?

    Been banned from the CAD forums for entirely predictable reasons. I've never been modded here, although I did leave the forums for many months because I was getting incredibly sick of a lot of stuff on them, and ended up being sorely tempted to troll and flame out of frustration. Buuuuut I...

    Free speech and the internet.

    Allow me to play devils' advocate here. I know the rules regarding free speech vary around the internet, but I've never understood the policy of "we can ban who we want for what we want". It just seems... counter-intuitive to set up a public forum that anyone can use, and then restrict them so...

    Dear Escapist: Quit it with the intrusive ads.

    I agree, they are pretty annoying. They're a small part of the reason I left the site for ages, actually, although far from the main one. Posting threads about it is only gonna get you modded, though, they're not gonna stop a moneymaking practice just because it pisses people off.
