    BBC Exec Wants a Woman to Play Lead in Doctor Who

    Well the actress would have to be pretty damn amazing to convince several people all over the fandom - including me - that changing the Doctor's gender is the best course of action instead of more properly written female characters with more important roles, or even a new series with a female lead.

    BBC Exec Wants a Woman to Play Lead in Doctor Who

    That would actually be a better idea than changing the Doctor's gender altogether.

    Sims 4 won't be reviewed until after release EA not giving out early review copies.

    Well, they sure DID remove a lot of bloody features from the game compared to the previous version, and most people who don't keep up with previews and other news about the game apart from reviews around release would probably not know about this. If reviews do come out after release, people who...

    Suggestions for dull game sequels

    Just Cause: Rico Retiring TOTAL WAR: French Countryside Red Orchestra 3: Tchaikovsky's Greatest Works I'm actually proud of that last one.

    Alien: Isolation Reunites Original 1979 Alien Cast in Pre-Order Bonus - Update

    This has nothing to do with the main game. They're essentially giving people who pre-order something EXTRA which is not cosmetic crap, weapons, costumes, or bullshit that could've been included in the first place. It's an actual EXPANSION. They didn't cut up the game and keep this to bait...

    Far Cry 4 Is "Packed to The Gills" With Women

    I sure didn't know about it... I played MaleShep and didn't even watch any gameplay videos or either game (except the occasional memorable scene or DLC I don't have). Aren't these animations shared with MaleShep, by the way?

    Basic Instinct? Like, the dress?

    Geeks Should Argue Politics. It's Good For Us.

    I - like many people on this website in the last few weeks - have been seeing The Escapist changing into a website not about games but offering clickbait articles cashing in on the eventuality of a left-wing circlejerk, something MovieBob's article on Gary Oldman epitomizes. I used to like Bob...

    Ubisoft Scores Legal Win in Patent Case

    I couldn't have put it better myself. I truly despise companies that do nothing else but leech from others' work by creating vague-ass patents like these.

    Far Cry 4 Is "Packed to The Gills" With Women

    Not just villains, but also fellow rebel comrades will be female NPCs, dammit: " On your side, one of the main leaders of the rebel faction is a woman, half the rebels that fight with you are women." Once again, people on The Escapist's forums go ballistic and vilify before reading carefully...

    Gary Oldman Slams "Political Correctness," Calls Dark Knight Movies "Work"

    I've read the interview through and can see Oldman was completely quoted out of context in this article. It is true that trying to defend Gibson, saying he's not a bad person in himself - Oldman did NOT defend Gibson's rants, mind you - is risky territory, but he thought he was doing what's...

    Gary Oldman Slams "Political Correctness," Calls Dark Knight Movies "Work"

    Has anyone here actually read the interview instead of just this article that seemingly reeks of sensationalism and intentional misrepresentation ?

    Ron Paul Will Make Acting Debut in Third Atlas Shrugged Movie

    He never said to entertain all ideas as if they're equal. He said entertaining an idea without accepting it - the opposite of entertaining all ideas as equal - is intellectually speaking worth it. Troglodytes, man? Was that necessary? Sure, the people overreacting here - I'm sorry Witty Name...

    Evolve Community Mgr Fired After Tweet on Donald Sterling - Update

    I see Olin's point, and agree with him - I'd also like to note Olin has never said he agreed with Sterling. Sterling is an old bigoted prick, however he should be allowed to do so in the safety of his own home.

    Check Your Privilege!

    Welp, I got a bleedin' 78/100, and I'm not even entirely white. Didn't even check the "elite" college checkbox. I didn't know if I shouldn't have checked the mental disabilities box, because I have a bit of OCD. Also, I got 50/100 on the "How White Are You" Quiz, which sounds about right...
