I stopped watching The Simpsons in the early 00s and then caught a random episode at a bar with a friend. Maybe it's the alcohol talking but there were no redeeming features of that Lady Gaga episode. Blecch. Also, I alt-tabbed away just in time to get startled by the schlocktober...

Now that The Escapist is back, we should have an Escapist meetup! Like a little Escapist Expo!

I absolutely agree. It's anecdotal, but I and many of my friends didn't get Mass Effect Andromeda not because it was bad, but because Mass Effect 3 killed our interest in the franchise. To a large extent, Andromeda was doomed from the start. In the realm of movies, you can see the same...

Welcome back! :D

Welcome back Russ, I'm thrilled to see that my favorite gaming mag is back under old management. I'd been resigning myself to the thought that I'd check back in and the site wouldn't even be here anymore. If you decide to bring back the Publisher's Club, I'll be first in line to sign back up!

Gonna miss this place. It really was something special back in the day.

I got Spec Ops: The Line partly because he recommended it, so yeah.

This is the future, I give it five years, max, before they're selling games this way. On every publisher's proprietary store.

Right on. If gamers hadn't wasted years fighting amongst ourselves, riled up by outsiders over a nonsensical social issue, we could have rallied against publishers and dissuaded them from going down this microtransaction path. The end result of the last several years is that promising game...

Good point. Shameful.

Mark my words, The Escapist will have no opinion to present about this microtransaction patent, I doubt they'll even post an article about it. WTF.

Glad we spent the last three years fighting over whether women should be allowed to work in the game industry instead of fighting back against the creep of game-breaking microtransactions.

Gamestop is a combination of the former Funcoland and Babbage's when they got bought up by Barnes & Noble back in the day and spun off as a new company.
