    Alt+Escape: Don't Touch My Gems!

    Wow, I just found this game on my own, and didn't realize it had been around since last year. Because of that, it took me reading most of the comments before it dawned on me that this review is over a year old! Why was alt+esc just forgotten and abandoned? It would be nice to at least have an...

    Sir Terry Pratchett: Creating swords from meteors

    "If" he dies? He may be an awesome knight who made his own legendary sword, but I doubt he's yet discovered the secret of immortality! I'm just playing--I will join this quest!

    Poll: Whats better; Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter?

    Um, no, you don't. I initially read "The Hobbit", following by the Lord of the Rings, and I never felt I was missing anything by not knowing all the mythology of the world--Isildur, Elendil, what have you?--not necessary, may enhance the depth of one's enjoyment, but I've still never finished...

    Poll: Whats better; Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter?

    Finally, a sane person!

    Poll: Whats better; Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter?

    Really? As soon as I saw the title, I just couldn't believe someone would have the temerity to ask such a question. Look, I love Harry Potter but as a work of literature it barely deserves to be uttered in the same breath as Lord of the Rings. I never resort to reductionist arguments...until...

    Am I weird?

    Honestly, just a couple weeks ago, my best friend confessed the exact same desire to me. Yeah, it's weird, but we're all weird in different ways.

    For all intensive purposes

    When people say "supposably" instead of "supposedly" really bothers me--my ex-husband did it all the time and it always grated on my nerves. Another one a lot of people are guilty of is saying "drowned" when they mean to use the present tense "drown". It's completely baffling that a college...

    Why agree with Yahtzee?

    OK, this is the first time I've commented without reading replies first, so I'm sure I"m repeating. But, screw it, I just wanna respond to the question posed. I indeed came upon the escapist thanks to ZP, and I love Yahtzee, but I don't just agree with him because it's yahtzee. I have watched...

    Poll: Someone you like asks you out, your first reaction.

    I would be immediately elated, but also terrified that I'll do or say something to scare him off or otherwise ruin my chances with him.

    Poll: Do You Blog?

    Hey, I was gonna say that! I started a wordpress blog several months ago, but it's too personal to share with people I know in real life, so nobody reads it. So, in practice, it's pretty much just a diary, but it makes me feel a teensy-weensy bit better to know that what I've written is...

    Poll: Favorite Alcohol

    I'm up for beer anytime, my favorite being Newcastle Brown Ale. When it comes to liquor, my favorite is gin--so light and refreshing!

    Poll: What would you like Zero Punctuation to review Besides from video Games?

    OK, yeah, this is the only good suggestion out of this thread. A "Let's Play" would be right up his alley, I think. On another note: Please shut up about Justin Bieber!

    recommend me some bad movies boys, yeeeeehaw!!!!!

    Yes! yes! A million times, yes! I feel you! I've seen it several times, the first when I was a little kid and it genuinely scared me, but I watched a couple of years ago and laughed through most of it. A very fun "scary" movie. Also, I recently watched "The Evil Dead" and, yeah, it's just a...

    Demon's Souls Group (Created)

    This hurts my head--if you want to be understood, punctuation is your friend. OT: Yes, well, I suppose you mean an Escapist user group? You should create one. I may or may not join.

    A thread for Lost fans

    Exactly, which is why I'm actually encouraged by the return of Widmore--he sorta personifies the moral ambiguity of "LOst". LIke Fake Locke said on last night's episode: Widmore is only interested in power. Or is he? He may have had a change of heart, since Penny and Desmond are married, or he...
