    Are Games Losing My Interest, or Is it Just Me?

    Actually, if you listen to his Youtube series, he talks often of listening to podcasts while playing Dark Souls.

    Zero Punctuation: Firewatch & Layers of Fear

    He is certainly right about one thing. The Village Green Preservation Society is the best Kinks album.

    The slowest game beginnings ever?

    I have a bit of an odd answer. The opening to Donkey Kong 64 was always so slow that I spent a long while trying to figure out if it can be skipped. I think I finally did so by starting a new game, resetting the system, and using the same save file.

    Episodes in shows that totally amazed you.

    Digital Estate Planning, Season 3 of Community. This has been my favorite show since its inception 5 seasons ago. I was there for the beginning, I was there for the gas leak year, and I will be there for the Age of Yahoo. Anyway, this episode takes place in a game developed by Pierce's dad's...

    Ask A Missionary A Question

    Hey man, I'm studying Biblical Studies/Theology right now, and one of my professors did missionary work in Ukraine and Russia for a long time. Even then, he had to do most of his work in a mixed-gender pair for the same reasons you're describing! My questions are: I know you said your...

    Uncivil War: Yahtzee Eats His Mustard

    Yahtzee has thusfar ridiculed the idea of monetizing his Let's Drown Outs, so I don't really see this happening.

    The Top 10 Best Portrayals of Gamers on Television

    Digital Estate Planning is by far my favorite Community episode, and that's saying a lot, considering its my favorite show. I cannot wait for season 6 to start.

    Poll: Do you enjoy Moviebob's content?

    Yes, I like him, he's one of three groups I watch regularly on The Escapist (Yahtzee, LRR, MovieBob, until recently JimFnSterlingSon), and I do enjoy his reviews and articles. Guy's got a talent for what he does. I can't blame him for being opinionated, and I think usually it comes from genuine...

    Jim Sterling leaves The Escapist

    This seems like quite a blow to The Escapist. I'm wondering if they'll seek to replace his videos... their schedule is beginning to look a little bare-bones. Yahtzee, Jim, and Bob seem like the big guns around here (bigger, at least, than Lisa Foiles [RIP]), so it will be difficult to find...

    You Have to Earn Your Apocalypse

    Not necessarily a reflection on the article itself, but more on the idea of an "apocalypse." If one wants to talk about "true" apocalypses, one would be talking about something a lot different than world-in-flames, post nuclear war, messed up earth. Our word "apocalypse" actually comes from a...

    Post any song you want

    Remove the beginning of the link and replace the "dot com" part with "=" so that "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TckDbgPwxf0" becomes "youtube=watch?v=TckDbgPwxf0" and then place the remainder of the link in brackets ([]) so: Huh... that wasn't at all what I was expecting.

    New Elder Scrolls?

    And I agree wholeheartedly with both. I want nothing more than a new Fallout, I've been waiting for what, 5 years now? Too long in my opinion. It would make sense, and here's hoping we hear of it soon.

    New Elder Scrolls?

    I think that TES6 isn't dependent on the same dev team as FO4, I would suspect that there's a fallout team, and an elder scrolls team, with some overlap for certain, but not so much that their working on one would mean the absence of the other.

    I'm Looking for a Good Place to Start Reading Comics... But I Need Some Advice

    Sounds like an interesting perspective, and Punisher has always piqued my interest some, thanks for the suggestions!
