    Poll: Gamers in the Media

    I know that these types of threads pop up every once in awhile here on the Escapist forums, but I was hoping I could get some quotes from the community about a couple things. As part of a school project in my post-bacc. program, I've been asked to cover how gamers are portrayed in the media...

    My Girlfriend Cheated on Me

    No offense, but that sounds like a messed up situation. I know I would never give some guy (especially some guy who openly professes love for her) permission to cuddle with my girlfriend in just her underwear, and I trust her very much. I know what you might be getting at here, even if I do...

    Why does America have military bases in other countries?

    Depends on your definition of "base." There are a couple examples of foreign military establishments in the United States (NORAD is a joint establishment, and Germany has an air force academy set up in Texas). But mainly, the answer is that the U.S. was not conquered after WW2 and most of...

    My Girlfriend Cheated on Me

    It doesn't sound like you wanted advice. It sounds more like you wanted your decision to be reaffirmed. I know you've probably already made up your mind completely, but think about everything that's been said here (especially Kpt. Rob); is 3 months and $2 grand really worth sinking more into...

    My Girlfriend Cheated on Me

    Yes, it could be worse. But this is gonna snowball. Dump her and just end it now, before you get to a point where you're too invested to realize that it's a bad idea to stay with her. Especially given the two sentences I quoted from you, she's not gonna gain your trust back at this point; and...

    ESA: Today is a "Bright Day" for Parents

    Damn those California statues... standing all statuesque and shit. OT: I'm glad the Supreme Court decided this way (as I'm sure nearly all of you are as well). Hidden topic: What's your favorite kind of statue? Bronze? Stone? Marshmallow? Why?

    Duke Nukem Forever Is a Good Game

    Good review. I think far too many people are being overly critical of the game. My only 2 complaints would be the inability to carry more than 2 weapons and the atrociously long load times on the Xbox 360. Although, I've heard the loading times on the PC are much better.

    Jimquisition: Too Cool To Be Cool

    I didn't originally want to post on this thread because I wasn't really sure what to say. But, after much thought, I've pretty much figured it out. Jim makes a couple good points, but making Duke Nukem "too cool to be cool" takes away part of his character. It works for Sam; part of his...

    Poll: School District about to Get Sued

    Does it say specifically Christian prayers? This is ridiculous; separation of church and state does not explicitly mean that public institutions cannot lead in prayer of some sort (I would be tolerant of all religions leading in prayer whether it was Christian, Jewish, Islamic, etc.). At my...
