    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    I'll say this one time. I respect the hell out of moviebob, I've been a fan since the early days of Game Overthinker and loved everything he did on this site. Here's the problem. The people who do the awful things are always the loudest voices in the room. It isn't glamorous to be the guy...

    Uncivil War: Doom II - King of Hell

    So they should totally do a Just Cause 2 or Arkham City grapple/gliding airtime challenge. Also: A minecraft video? Maybe a hardcore map with a checklist of things to build? Or I can upload a map with a clearly marked End Portal and who can kill the dragon fastest? Also, Also: World of...

    The Big Picture: Stars, Worn

    Is it sad that now all I can think about is a Mace Windu / Little Rascals crossover film?

    Update: Xbox One To Take Cut With Every Pre-Owned Sale

    The problem most of us are having with the xbone is not that GameStop will take a hit. It's the whole ownership/liscensing issue. When we buy a game (new or used) we expect a disc that will work when we put it in a system. We own that game, we paid money for it. We didn't rent the game, we...

    Update: Xbox One To Take Cut With Every Pre-Owned Sale

    I'm too angry to read the entire thread but I do have this to say: Does anyone else realize that soon, it will be easier and less of a hassle to purchase a FIREARM than it will be to purchase a used Xbox game? I am not going to buy an xbone. None of my friends are going to buy an xbone...

    No Right Answer: Best Star Trek Captain Ever

    This! Soo much this. I actually have DS9 on DVD (all seven seasons) and I watch it through at least once a year. The character progression and writing are the best in the entire franchise, by far!

    No Right Answer: Best Star Trek Captain Ever

    Everyone knows that Benjamin Sisko is and shall ever be the best Captain in Star Trek. Lets look at the list: 1 - Became an actual avatar to a race of omnipotent gods and didn't let it stop him from completing his duties. 2 - Managed to steal the most badass person in Picards' crew (Worf)...

    what is the stupidist reason you've been kicked/banned from something?

    I got a 2 day suspension from The Something Awful forums for using the word LOL... I still post there, though, goons is good people. The Escapist, LoadingReadyRun, and SA are the only online communities I have felt deserve me actually spending my hard earned money on, and I am a regular...

    Portal 2 Fans Unveil Lengthy Aperture Science Documentary

    Is it me or does the husband from the 50's commercial look and sound a lot like Alex Steacy from LoadingReadyRun? Maybe I'm too much of a LRR fan...

    The Big Picture: Do the Mario! (Again)

    I think I may be the only person on the planet who genuinely enjoyed and still enjoys the Bob Hoskins, john Leguizamo Super Mario Brothers movie. Maybe because Luigi was so boss in it, and Luigi never gets the cred he deserves...

    Rumor: Nintendo Still Not Going With Hard Drive for Wii 2

    Since it's all rumors anyway, here's my prediction: The 8gb is actually RAM, there will be no disc support at all, nintendo will sell all of their games digitally from a cloud based nintendo service (similar to steam) with game content downloaded on demand to it's massive ram. The...

    Sony Admits Private PSN Info Has Been Stolen - All Of It

    With all the talk back and forth about 'Hackers' and the good or ill they cause the industry, everyone needs to remember that hacking, like any skill, can be used for good or evil (not to be so melodramatic about it, but you get what i'm saying). There are Black Hat hackers, who hack into...

    Portal 2 Review

    You know, I don't read comments much, but I gotta say, the last line in the video from glados made me laugh so hard a noodle came out my nose. I was kinda meh on this game, content to wait for a steam sale or a retail price drop, but that line makes me want to go out and get it today. "I...
