    Nintendo Responds to Robin Williams Legend of Zelda Petition

    Not to be a party pooper or anything, but what exactly did he mean to the online gaming community in general? If the extent of his involvement was an anonymous character on a server? I'm not against it happening and I'm not trying to hate on people I just don't see it. But then again I'm a...

    Overly coddled by a game

    I agree with what you're saying, and I appreciate that not everybody wants the same level of difficulty as I might. At the same time though, if I do decide to pick the Hard difficulty I'd like to be challenged, and in general Uncharted 3 did give a good challenge, which makes it all the more...

    Overly coddled by a game

    I did occur more than once, that the game cleared and obstacle for me instead of me doing it. So it wasn't a bug, but I think you're right in what you're saying about checkpoints, the game was just far too generous in how it placed it's checkpoints, and registered a challenge as beat when it...

    Overly coddled by a game

    Well, I've had the system but just a couple of games and it's been collecting dust more than anything lately. When I was in the States recently I took the oppurtunity to pick up a bunch of titles that slipped me by or I considered just kind of interesting. It's crazy cheap there compared to back...

    Overly coddled by a game

    Hey Escapist So I'm a bit late to the PS3 party and I'm just in the process of playing through Uncharted 3 after having finished the second one and though I'm enjoying the game as a whole, I've never before played a game that I've felt so coddled by. It's not the difficulty that's the...

    Your favorite character to play as.

    I will always have a weakness for the Kensai/Mage dual class from Baldur's Gate 2. Arguably one of the most powerful, if not THE most powerful, class in the game. For non-initiated, dual classing is something humans in BG can do and it consists of starting of with your characer leveling up as...

    Great video game openings

    I'm gonna give you one sentence: "Ah, the child of Bhaal has awoken!" Greatest villain in a game and such a classic opening!

    Sweden Moves Towards Gender Neutrality [Support Thread]

    Swede here as well and to be honest I find the whole thing rather silly. The introduction of a gender neutral pronoun is not what I'm opposed to, if people want to use it all the power to them. I also know at least one person who's had inner conflicts about which gender to identify with and...

    Really Stupid Things You've Heard/Read Someone Say

    But just because it was that way when it started doesn't necessarily mean it will always be a good idea. Of course my parents were needed to birth me, but they could still be shitty parents or have loony ideas. Let's say we start a book club, read book for 200 years, if we realize after that...

    Really Stupid Things You've Heard/Read Someone Say

    1. Why is the fact that it's a founding idea so important? Why think that people 200 years ago are so much wiser than people now? It's not even something that actually matters, like free speech, it's just a gun. Anytime someone says "It's the principle this country was founded on!!!!!!" I just...

    Poll: Do you support gay marriage?

    I really don't see how you can argue against gay marriage from a christian standpoint. The number 1 guy of Christianity is Jesus, his number one idea was the Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated. As far as I know he didn't add: "Unless they're gay because in that case they...

    Obesity Discrimination

    For some reason I thought it was a restaurant or café that was in question, most probably because "serving" rings close to our word for "waitering". My bad there. In that case, I'm not really on her side anymore, a model train shop is a fairly specialized shop and I don't think she'd draw in...

    Obesity Discrimination

    I think I see your point, but I can also totally understand this former boss of yours. Look at it this way: she's running a restaurant, café or whatever it is. Let's say it's competing with a similar business next door, you need every advantage you can get. It's hard running a business and if...

    Far Cry 3 Gameplay Trailer Burns Down the House

    My first thought as well! ^^ "I'm heading into this burning building, better draw my fucking gun!"

    Teen faces expulsion after brining stun-gun to school to fend off bullies

    What I find the most shocking is the amount of people seeing it as a good response to have sent the kid to another school. So a kid gets bullied by 6 others, and he is the one that should be moved? If anyone should be moved it's the 6 bullies for fucks sake! Imagine being bullied by a bunch...
