    Escapist Podcast: 205: 2016 Anticipation, Interest, Trepidation, and Excitement Podcast

    DD:DA's the one game I'm really keen for. Farcry Primal I'm definitely on the lookout for, since it sounds like an overhaul of all the established ideas of the game - but a lot of my friends have been playing DD on console for ages, and hearing it's coming out on PC I lost my shit moreso than I...

    Excuse-O-Rama

    Almost all social activism has lost meaning. When people being paid to speak in front of crowds are telling you that "Everything is racist, everything is sexist", then it's already lost all meaning because it's impossible to tell for sure if the speakers are genuine or if they're...

    Excuse-O-Rama

    I wholeheartedly agree with you guys. There's actually nothing WRONG with having big boobs. Some people like big boobs. Some people want to see big boobs and butts in their games. When people get all up in arms about one female character in a game - or many, for that matter, let's be fair -...

    343 Explains Why Halo 5 Won't Have Split-Screen

    *Shrugs* Maybe, but I suppose we'll find out. Since the industry has an inclination to develop in trilogies, I'm guessing whether or not Halos 7 through 9 happen will be a good indicator. I'd also be keeping an eye on how much spin-off media is made (like that blu-ray of animated shorts they had...

    343 Explains Why Halo 5 Won't Have Split-Screen

    *Puts hand up* Couch Co-Op is literally the only reason I got into Halo. Back when my brother and I could finally afford a console, the original Xbox and Halo:CE were the standard for it. In fact I'd say that most of console gaming's history goes back to couch co-op, what with Mario kart/Party...

    In the Future, We Will All Be Wearing Cowls

    As long as I can make up my own super identity I'm cool with this. Batman's a bit too douchey for me.

    Escapist Podcast: 188: Best Character Progression in Gaming?

    I want so badly to be part of the PC Master Race..... But there wasn't any evidence you guys would ship to New Zealand. I'll still play Hatfall like I played Heroin Hero though.

    Why Do So Many E3 Trailers Show So Little Gameplay?

    Some of us don't even like THAT. I HATE having people commentating over a game I'm trying to watch. HAAAAAAAATE it. I just want to see a game being played. I want to sit down and watch a 15 minute session of people behaving the way people do when they play any game in question. That's the only...

    Why Symphony of the Night Is Not True Castlevania

    I came here to find out why SotN isn't a true Castlevania, but the author doesn't do a good job summing up their evidence to that effect. The article seemed to kind devolve into rimming Super Castlevania IV's ass half way through, and forgot to circle back around to the original point. There's a...

    Zero Punctuation: Hatred - Maypole of Controversy

    I'm quite sad to say that, even as someone who bought HATRED neither for the controversy nor to metaphorically stick it to some anti-violence person or group I know (I actually preordered it because it was set to release on my birthday and I thought that'd be nice), that there's nothing here...

    Hatred and the Catharsis of Violence

    And here we reach the epitome of the issue, I think. Gamers as a whole are pretty damn good at dealing with dissociating themselves from games with the knowledge that pixels are pixels and computational math is not bothered with the concept of morality. But to the rest of the outside world -...

    Escapist Podcast: 169: Talk Grey Goo Strategy with Game Designer

    Watching this podcast while listening to the Tiberian Sun soundtrack is awesome. Good to hear they're breaking trope tradition though, one thing that always bothered me about, say, Mass Effect, was that humanity was an exceedingly "average" race - with the exception of what Mordin says about...

    Escapist Podcast: 168: The Witcher 3 Sexy Time

    Yes I mean bits. It's fair enough to assume, the vast majority of people have no idea there is a difference, but I personally have just been doing a Degree in Comp Sci at the local Institute, so I know the specifics of much more than most. You have nooooooo idea. Video streaming here is...

    Escapist Podcast: 168: The Witcher 3 Sexy Time

    I can't believe the definition of "Broadband" is 40Mb down and 10Mb up. In NZ you're lucky to get 4Mb down and 2Mb up. And those are the most expensive plans too, although I understand there's one ISP around here that has a "Pro Gamer" package or something that gets about 5Mb/2Mb Down/Up, but...
