    So, how many dudes here roll a female character? Also vice versa?

    I find that in single player games like mass effect or TES I generally roll male, at least on the first playthrough, I did go through ME a second time as femshep. However in WoW the vast majority of my characters are female, with only my warrior being male. I guess it's because in WoW I'm not...

    Come and play my platformer game

    Thanks for playing! Uh that actually kind of sounds like a bug. You're supposed to just be able to hold right click. Left click is supposed to be for a melee attack. It seems that the biggest problem I've had so far is that the game behaves differently on different systems -.- The sprites...

    Come and play my platformer game

    As long as it's not for profit, and as you've been a member here for some years and contributed, I see no problem with it. I found the weapon mechanism in your game a little odd. Having to hold right click then left clicking to fire takes some getting used to. The physics are a bit odd but...

    Come and play my platformer game

    Hi Escapists! So I'm in my final year at university studying software engineering and for my final project I decided to create a 2D-platformer game. As part of the evaluation process I need to get the opinions of people who are knowledgeable about the project and I thought who better than the...

    That game is cheating!

    I remember reading somewhere that in Shogun Total War 2 the AI used to cheat by spawning armies in areas of the map where you didn't currently have vision. This could apparently be countered by using ninjas as scouts to give you vision of as much of the map as possible.

    My girlfriend just broke up with me

    Thanks for the replies guys, I took your advice and politely asked her not to contact me for a while. It hasn't gone quite to plan as we still have been texting but it is far less than after we first broke up. Think I'm starting to accept the fact that this is it. Sucks to know that I've screwed...

    My girlfriend just broke up with me

    Okay so about a year and a half ago I started dating one of my best friends, and it soon blossomed into a relationship. We had our problems, alot of arguing, and recently she decided she'd had enough and broke up with me. I can't say I blame her if I'm being totally honest I have a terrible...

    MMORPG recommendations.

    Try elder scrolls online. Takes a lot of the same core gameplay of guildwars 2 but with better story and quests imo. Encourages exploration just as much. I'm having a great time on it

    What Woman think of Man that are nice to everyone.

    I have a female friend who explained to me once that she was attracted to assholes. I guess it was along the lines of she thought she'd conquered them if they slept with her or whatever. Showed them they shouldn't be so cocky or she would screw them. What a punishment eh? Anyway I think for this...

    Shows/Movies/Games that you just couldn't get into

    For me it's Zelda. I know its widely considered to be a great series of games but I never played it when i was young and it never really interested me. The other day I tried to play one of them (couldn't tell you which) at my girlfriends house, because I know they are classic games and I really...

    Global Warming Has Accelerated and Will Go On for Centuries

    Except that we are the most intelligent species we know of, by far. We have a huge amount of potential and to think that this,today, is the peak of humanity, and it's downhill from here is a sad thought, wouldn't you agree? OT: Politics is whats dealing the most damage here. Everything takes...

    Creationist Scientist Wants Airtime on Cosmos for Creationist Views

    This. So much this. Really couldn't have worded it better myself. The point of science is to admit we are ignorant and to try and learn more about what is around us, and if we spend all day shooting down different ideas, as crazy as they may seem, we are no different to the people we claim to...

    My daughter is named Tali'Zorah. I suppose I'm crazy : )

    Massive "don't do it" from me. Tali would be fine though probably EDIT: This pretty sums up my feelings on the matter.

    Poll: "Lack of skill" of other players is not a legit justification for being an asshole

    This. It depends on the game I think. Now, in your case OP, with people being able to drive tanks, and you not having any counterplay available, then no, those guys are asshats, and skill is irrelevant. Even in WoW, it isn't really justifiable to be a dick to someone who has less skill...
