    Jimquisition: Who "Won" The Next-Gen Launch?

    PC'S THE BEST CONSOLE! If you have a nice graphics card.... And enough RAM.... And a fast enough processor.... And a stable enough internet connection..... And a etc etc etc....... I do like playing on the PC, but really just not enough money/patience/experience to make it a better...

    The Big Picture: Baggage

    Just for clarity I'm going to use the pronouns group a and group b to describe people who agree with the video and people who don't, respectively. My issue with that opinion assumes that group b's view of the source material is more valid than group a's. The argument pretty much comes down...

    The Big Picture: Baggage

    Thank you and I appreciate the brain storm! Really the process of reaching an opinion is just as, if not more important, than the actual opinion. It's funny how a simple "what" or "why" can do that. But, agreed. The only issue is then is if the reason we agree or disagree with a review is...

    The Big Picture: Baggage

    Two issues, the first is kinda semantic as one is a review and one is a industry wide critique. I'm not sure if you can compare something that is focused on one game as a case study, and what that is a survey of many games. The second is, what if I think Anita's is truthful and insightful...

    Top 5 Friday: Top 5 Reasons For Star Wars Battlefront 3

    Welp, that was sorta pedestrian. "IT'S HAVE GRAPHICS GUYZ!" ...Yeah. There is a reason the Escapists content providers unique perspectives or at least unique type of content with very distinct personalities. List 5 content is a dime a dozen.

    No Right Answer: Best Science Fiction Job Ever

    Sadly being torture is not a job. It's a calling.

    Media Sandwich: Media Sandwich Episode 28

    Always hate to see content being pulled, but honestly this left my podcast rotation months ago. Hope y'all take the time investment with this and put into new content. Or sleep.

    Humor and Realism Don't Mix

    Finally someone floated out this thought in reference to stealth games. I'm glad the enemy AI largely forgets about you after 30 seconds. Might as well just restart if I have to wait much longer than that for them to return to their path.

    The Big Picture: The Girl of Tomorrow

    Not really. Magic in the DC universe is kinda underutilized. That changed a bit with 52, but I'm not sure if they did anything with it. And usually it's not chariot of the gods stuff. God is actually God, Satan is actually Satan, Ares is actually Ares and what ever. You'd think they'd screw...

    Guardians of Middle Earth Review

    I like MOBAs, I like lotr, but I don't think I'll touch this one. Considering how volatile this genre can make people I'd rather stick to something with text chat.

    No Right Answer: Best X-Men Member Ever

    I would go with Multiple Man. I suggest anyone check out X-Factor circa 2007 sometime to know what I'm talking about. He has created clones of himself to travel to world and gather all it's knowledge and return to him once they have finished their journey. It's pretty awesome.

    My Date With Pyramid Head

    I'm kinda a horror wimp, but that seems amazing. Particularly with the Silent Hill bit. I can't see anything like that working in anything but horror. Just don't have that unifying element of being kinda afraid for your life. Unless you have the "Psssshhh you scared by that" dude in...
