    All Female A-Force Replaces The Avengers

    The last She-Hulk led all-female superteam, The Liberators, had a considerably better name. They also beat the crap out of Red Hulk when that actually meant something. So I'm a bit surprised that they aren't going with that.

    Escape to the Movies: Jupiter Ascending - Tries But Fails

    The plot of Pixels sounds a hell of a lot like an episode of Futurama.

    Escape to the Movies: Blackhat - Haxxor

    WWE Immortals just looks ridiculous. The Rock as a living rock is one thing, but then you add to that the military-backed superhero John Cena, the hellish MMA monster Brock Lesnar, the Big Show showing up dressed as a 7' tall, 500 lb lumberjack, and Daniel Bryan the living goat. And all of it...

    Escape to the Movies: Taken 3 - The One Where Liam Neeson Beats People Up

    While I don't really have anything to the Taken 3 discussion, I did want to drop in and say that I appreciated the disclaimer at the start of the video. It may have been halfway a gag, but it is always welcome to get that sort of information out in the open, as well as a welcome bit of insight...

    How many of us also play games that aren't based around killing and beating stuff up?

    A rather large number of my favorite games involve no killing whatsoever. Plenty of puzzle, simulation, and management games. Sports and racing games too. I'm quite fond of games with a large exploration element to them, where I can just wander around and find things, and perhaps also build...

    Best female characters introduced to gaming in the last decade

    Bayonetta is, and really always has been, something of a lightning rod of controversy due to a fundamental misunderstanding of her role in her own game (now games). Moviebob did an excellent piece on Bayonetta as a sexualized video game character and one that owns her sexuality more so than any...

    Are we ready for games starring queer/trans heroes? Mainstream and Indie

    I played Saints Row 2 as an extremely buff, British drag queen. Loved that it played it completely straight. I would love to see a few games that featured queer and transsexual protagonists, just so long as they're entertaining characters on top of that. Developers can't go in expecting these...

    I Canceled my Publisher's Club Subscription Today

    teknoarcanist, you are entitled to your opinion. I am against censorship and absolutely for transparency in games journalism, which is something that The Escapist has attempted to address in this set of articles as well as trying to display what various people think of the ongoing consumer...

    The nemesis system in Shadow of Mordor is bananas!!

    The nemesis system sounds amazing and I hope that it's something that we get to see in more games going forward.

    Message to all anime viewers(NSFW): Cross Ange Tenshi to Ryu no Rondo

    I'm honestly more offended by how godawful the plot of this series is than anything else. The first episode was a case of multiple characters, up to and including the entire population of a country, passing around the proverbial idiot ball in order to facilitate getting this girl onto an island...

    was the first full priced game you bought worth the price?

    I paid $60 for Donkey Kong Country when it came out. Yes it was worth that.

    10 Ways Civ: Beyond Earth Is Nothing Like Civilization V

    I would also like to send along my thanks for including the disclosure.

    GamerGate's Image Problem

    I would suggest transparency here. If a journalist does have ties to a developer or a publisher and they are either unable or unwilling to recuse themselves from the subject, then it's as simple as making your relationship publicly known. "I have such high hopes for this developer's game that...

    The Big Picture: The Amazing Spider-Man - The Gwen Stacy Paradox

    Small sidenote here. The Spectacular Spider-Man television series featured Gwen Stacy as a major character throughout it's run. Not only did it manage to make Gwen an interesting character in her own right, but it also played a bit of a subtextual cat and mouse with it's comic reading fans...

    8 Characters We'd Love To See Cosplayed At PAX East

    Fully in support of this. Perhaps the Warriors can all gather together to hold the first ever Skronk-off, with the winner receiving a piece of the Terrain of Testament, and two tickets to Parts Unknown.
