    Mark Hamill Says it Was a "Missed Opportunity" Not Having Luke, Leia and Han Reunite

    "rather then two characters who had known him for a brief period of time." Man, come on. Does Escapist need an actual editor? Seriously, what's the situation here? Do you submit articles to an editor or do you just post them directly to the site? I'm not trying to single anybody out. No...

    Nintendo Announces DLC Pass for Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    This really took the wind out of my sails. I can't say I was super hyped about the Switch before, but I had preordered just to play Breath of The Wild. Now you're telling me $400 doesn't even get me "new" hard mode? Damn, Nintendo.

    Frontier Developments to Adapt a Hollywood Movie for its New Franchise

    Sorry for the spoilers, but it's Battlestar. Should be pretty good.

    The Brothers Grimsby - We're Done with Sacha Baron Cohen Now, Yes?

    Honest question; Do you even enjoy movies? I ask because I've only seen one review where you claim you enjoyed the movie (Hateful Eight). Perhaps I've missed some of your reviews, but I've seen many of them. Whenever I see your name on an article I think, "Oh, another review from that guy...

    Just bought a high-end PC - recommend me some games

    Far Cry 3 is amazing on PC when compared to console. Some great mods available, too. Deus Ex Directors Cut is fantastic and you can usually find it on sale for less than $10 somewhere. There are some classics like the original Deus Ex and System Shock 2 that you should check out if you...

    Poll: Male underwear

    Commando should really be an option in that pole. I prefer boxer briefs for times when I have to be active. If I'm running or at the gym I don't want my boys just flopping around down there. For me, boxers are pointless. They're just a mass a loose fabric that can get balled up inside my...

    Lindsey Stirling Discussion

    The dancing while playing the violin is really turning me off. I mean, what is this even supposed to be? If you're an amazing violinist and your music is compelling you don't need to dance to keep my attention. This is just distracting. I feel like I would get more out of the experience without...

    Real-Life Superheroes Become Bitter Archenemies

    I have seen it. It was enjoyable to watch, but it seemed like most of the "superheroes" had either crippling social issues or some form of mental illness. Granted, they may have cut most of the people that weren't whack-jobs from the documentary because crazy people are just more entertaining...

    Real-Life Superheroes Become Bitter Archenemies

    Touché. The thing is, anyone can call 911 if they see trouble, or help homeless people. You don't have to dress up in a costume to do that. Normal people don't feel like they need to wear a mask when performing a good deed. These people look touched in the head to most normal folks. This...

    Real-Life Superheroes Become Bitter Archenemies

    Yeah, because that's what will make people who dress up as superheroes and roam the streets look bad. There needs to be a superhero themed version of LARP'ing or something. Maybe then these people could get this crap out of their systems. "Patrolling" the streets dressed as Batman isn't...

    Star Wars: Battlefront - Great Teaser, Now What?

    I know DICE has the project, but I don't think the BF4 team is the one making Battlefront. Also, not long ago I saw a quote from someone at EA or DICE that said they weren't just going to copy the previous games, they were going to make Battlefront their own.

    X-Men Producer Wants Channing Tatum For Gambit

    Of course Taintum wants to play Gambit in a movie. I want a 30 foot mech. Just because you want something doesn't make it a good idea. This would be almost as bad as if they cast Ben Affleck as Batman, hahaha. Oh God no...

    Which game series to play before boot camp?

    Deus Ex for sure. You should have time to play through Deus Ex and Human Revolution no problem if you just stick with the main quests. You'll want to play through them again later anyway, so you can save your exploring for then. I'd probably pass Invisible war. I'd take a pass on Mass Effect...

    Co-op is boring (blah semi rant)

    All of the funnest gaming moments that I can recall happened playing co-op, either online or splitscreen. I've probably played more than 100 hours of Halo 1 co-op. I know I've got close to 300 hours of co-op in Apache Air Assault. That's not to say that I don't play adversarial multiplayer...

    Movie Defense Force: Demon Knight

    Maybe it's because I was only 10 the first time I watched it, but I've always really liked Demon Knight. Not in a misuse of the word "ironic" sort of way, but genuinely liked it. Also, I'm not sure if you noticed or not, but it's got Billy Zane in it.
