    Poll: Your presence on the Escapist.

    I mostly sit in the corner in watch, partly because I'm shy and partly because I feel like unless I comment on a forum early no one will see my post. Like this one.

    Confess your nerd sins

    I don't care at all about the Resident Evil games but I find the movies very entertaining.

    Pointless Sex Scenes and Romances in Movies/TV/Games/Books

    Metro: Last Light comes to mind. You know what isn't a great idea? Forcing a romance that includes a sex scene with your character from a first person perspective. Wait that isn't weird enough? Let's make your character mute, that will really sell the romantic chemistry!

    Ps4 owners. Do you stream the games you play?

    I tried once near launch playing Killzone. Attracted no viewers but no, it wasn't hard to set up. If your account is linked to Twitch you've just got to press a couple buttons and your done. A warning though: "With it being so simple i don't see a reason not to use it." That's the thing, alot...

    Jimquisition: Previewed, Preordered, Prescrewed

    I adore it for being so expertly put together. I also want to assure you I'm not saying this with Nostalgia Goggles on, I got into the game a while after I heard of Bioshock. Trust me, it's the better game. Cheaper too on GoG.com.

    Jimquisition: Previewed, Preordered, Prescrewed

    I agree with this but unfortunately I'm still guilty of pre-ordering Crysis 3 and Bioshock: Infinite. Crysis 3 is because it comes with Crysis 1, which I was going to spend $20 on before I found out I'd get it for free with Crysis 3's hunter edition as well as a $20 gift card on Amazon. That...

    GOG Uploads System Shock 2

    During the major reveal of SHODAN there will be some plot elements that you will probably enjoy more if you've gone through the first, as well as the game's finale has some references I won't spoil, but other then that no, you do not need to play the first game before System Shock 2.

    German Consumer Group Sues Valve

    You must not have done this in a while. I wasn't pleased when my copy of Fallout: New Vegas which I purchased from Walmart for PC for the purpose of modding had a one-time use activation code for Steam and nothing else. Also most of EA's games even if you buy a hard copy at a store that really...

    Bioshock Infinite: The latest victim of the Stupid-American-Box-Art Virus.

    ALOT of people including myself still like physical copies of their game. The day I'm forced to download a game and can no longer buy a physical copy, eagerly tear into the packaging, pop it into my N64/PS2/Xbox 360 and instantly get it running I'm going to cry. So many great memories that will...

    Bioshock Infinite: The latest victim of the Stupid-American-Box-Art Virus.

    As a long time fan of the Shock games (System Shock 1-2 as well as Bioshock 1-2) this game in general has annoyed me, despite the fact that I'm REALLY looking forward to it. It's just not a Shock game. Where's the dead world you have to explore feeling alone and desperate as you find audio logs...

    Would the gaming industry be better off without dlc?

    My response to anyone asking anything about dlcs being good or bad: I would never wish them to be gone. Why? I shall point to Fallout: New Vegas, and you can figure it out for yourself.

    Black Ops 2 Is Like A Rich Jerk

    Actually Black Ops II has 14 maps, 15 if you count Nuketown 2025 for pre-ordering, and Modern Warfare 3 had 16. Although I must say, it SUCKS when you get less then that. The High Moon Transformers games are good examples. One of Fall of Cybertron's biggest problems is that it only has 10 maps...

    Zero Punctuation: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

    Yes, Black Ops II's story was surprisingly well-written. I've seen better, but not in a Call of Duty game. Also I hate Briggs. As soon as it gave me the option to kill the "cocksucker" I couldn't have shot him directly in the head fast enough.

    Halo 4- I'll never buy another console game

    The thing is Halo 4 didn't do that either. You have to install from the second disc. You can't disc swap. Unfortunate, I'm not one to play just one game for an extended period of time, I swap out constantly and having to delete some other dlc which I use quite a bit just to access half of Halo 4...

    Halo 4 Promotion Rewards Unhealthy Gaming Habits

    I can't believe people spend that much time on one game. I've had MW3 since launch, and it is one of my favorite Call of Duties for multiplayer, yet I've only played that for a total of around two days. You people really need to find some other games to play.
