    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    Spent most of today trying to find what I can only assume is a Flash game I played a while back. From what I remember your character crash lands on an alien planet, it's first person but mixes segments like shooting and clicking on stuff to make things happen. No real flexibility in movement...

    Black Ops II: it looks surprisingly good

    From where? Every time you died in MW2 the quotes were choice selections compared to the random "war" related ones you saw in CoD4 and previous instalments. These selections were highlighting the dangers of patriotism, aimed quite squarely at the United States. At the same time all of the Modern...

    Fan theories you firmly believe in

    I hope a fan theory exists that says the Indoctrination Theory is bullshit. Because it is. The James Bond theory would certainly work in the films and would be fine if that's something the directors accept. They've definitely been fine with doing that with M for instance (not just Judi...

    Poll: Greatest General of World War 2

    Out of MacArthur and Nimitz, the latter was definitely better. The US navy effectively blockaded Japan and of course rendered its navy impotent. The navy argued that re-invading the Philippines was unnecessary because it was isolated, like many of Japan's Pacific conquests by that time. Taking...

    Poll: Greatest General of World War 2

    I've always, without much thought toward his generalship, had a liking for Sokolovsky, mainly because it looks like Churchill managed to smuggle in a British man in a Soviet uniform.

    Poll: Greatest General of World War 2

    He thought many rather bizarre, unnecessary actions were a good idea. The Dodecanese campaign during WWII for one thing, or a pet project that obviously never reached fruition of re-invading Norway. He was lucky to have another incredibly overlooked British (well, Northern Irish) general, Alan...

    Poll: Greatest General of World War 2

    It's been said that Rommel's real advantage was the institutional superiority of the Wehrmacht compared to the opposition. So as you say, if those at home had invested more troops into the Africa campaign in the first place he would've won through superior troops alone, heedless of his...

    Random or unintentional creepy game moments

    If anyone's played Loom, it's pretty Disney movie-like in tone until a certain point where it throws all of that out the window. I found it rather unexpected. Captcha: save yourself

    Hindus Want Smite Out of QuakeCon

    They must be outraged when they're at QuakeCon, enjoying their usual games and have to see all this.

    Dear Escapist: Board looks even uglier. Please fix.

    I agree with the stuff about making the grey bars something like blue and moving the flag button somewhere where we won't accidentally hit it when trying to quote someone. And yes, there's too much space on either side of the avatars. Could either change that or the avatar size limit (or...

    Mass Effect Movie Script.

    Haha, oh man, that cover. It looks like Tim Burton is making it what with the fact Shepard looks creepily spindly.

    Men and homophobia

    Perhaps said homophobic men are unable to understand how anyone can't like women.

    EA: Dead Space Too Scary to Handle Alone

    Wait, wut? I'm awful when it comes to horror games and I've never found the Dead Space games scary.

    "Shag A Gamer" Cuts to the Chase

    If anything the experience would probably be awful because they need to use the site to begin with. OT: I think this is absolutely hilarious. I can only imagine how well it's going to do (no sarcasm, I'm reminded of a similar venture that was posted here a while ago).

    Poll: Am I the only Morally motivated gamer out there?

    It's very easy to be a good guy in a video game because most games do not know how to present morally grey choices. It is always very easy to tell what is supposed to be good and what is supposed to be bad (I'm looking at you, morality point sliders). I like to play a good guy and because it's...
