    I just want to say thanks :)

    I feel the same as OP I can't really remember a time without the Escapist, I've been here for over 10 years counting the time before my join date, when I only read the articles and watched the videos. Now if I post once a month is good, and like now, this is the first day in maybe 2 weeks I've...

    Who are your sports heroes?

    Great Finnish sportsmen like Mika H?kkinen and Sami Hyypi?, Sami especially is one of my favorite sportsmen ever! But basically people putting my small country on the map is always nice. I like reading peoples autobiographies, in the last year I had Rafa Benites, Steven Gerrard, Ronnie O...

    Nintendo Switch is a Gimmick That Works

    I have a Switch and I like it. The complaint I might have is my original left joycon sync issue when it gets too far away from the console, which isn't too far away. This issue Nintendo fixes for free if I'd get my lazy bum up and send them the joycon, so positive customer service in that...

    How do you deal with wasps in your house?

    I usually take a glass, trap it in it, take a piece of paper, slide it under the glass so the paper becomes a lid, take it outside and release the wasp. That's pretty much it, but having a fear of them makes this quite difficult I can imagine. The other alternative which already was...

    ?198 million pound footballer. Well Football (soccer) has changed dramatically in 15 years.

    I think the difference this time is, how will the sport evolve? I mean first Pele and Maradona were part of this back in the days when the players went out to the pub after a game, even the biggest pros'. Ronaldo Lima and 'Dinho were at their peak when sport was evolving and teams were actually...

    ?198 million pound footballer. Well Football (soccer) has changed dramatically in 15 years.

    I have no memory of that to be honest (salary cap). I doubt we'll reach a fee of 300mil anytime soon. The only 2 players who would go for that are Messi and Ronaldo, and they won't change clubs, maybe when they get old if they want to play easier footy the last years, but then it will most...

    ?198 million pound footballer. Well Football (soccer) has changed dramatically in 15 years.

    Yeah it's become insane in the last years or so. The biggest purchase for a player went up steadily by 10mil every season except for now when it suddenly doubled. I think there should be a FIFA/UEFA clause saying something like max you can buy a player for would be like 20mil and then some...

    Poll: How Do Multi-Lingual People Think?

    I know 3 languages. Finnish, Swedish and English. I am from Finland, my dad speaks Finnish, my mothers first language is Swedish, so I have both of those from birth. I speak Swedish with my mom and Finnish with my dad. Then everything gaming-, TV-, computer-related is English. Books I tend to...

    When will the Comic Book Movie fatigue hit the majority of fans? Or has it already begun/happened?

    Well sort of yeah. I still think they are fun movies, but releasing 3 every year makes it feel a bit too much at times. I liked SpiderMan in the way that, it reminded me a lot about my childhood spidey. I am hyped for Thor Ragnarok though!!! But overall when it comes to the ComicBookMovies...

    Baby Driver ~ The lastest masterpiece from Edgar Wright

    I need to try this! On topic: I'll probably watch it sometime when it comes out on BluRay/Netflix, unless some friend wants me to go to the movies with them, then I might join in if I have nothing better to do.
