    Poll: 2015, The end of The Escapist?

    Not to be melodramatic, but it's basically dead to me. I subscribed because I found I was hanging out here all the time, with all the great content. But in the last six months or so, we've lost, what, Susan, Greg, Gav, Lisa, Jim, Bob, and now Robert. Maybe more content will come. But most of...

    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    Well, that's pretty much it. Lisa, Jim, then Bob. There's still Yahtzee, Robert and Shamus, but I can't really justify a subscription any more.

    Poll: Do you use a 12 or 24 hour clock?

    When I lived in the UK, I used a 12 hour clock exclusively - 24 hour was for spy movies. But since living in Germany I've transitioned to 24h, because it's the norm here. When a German says that there is a meeting at seven, they mean seven A.M. Wierd.

    Swatter Arrested, Could Face Five Years in Prison

    Five years is not enough. Make an example of this fool. And make sure he has no access to the internet at all. Dial-up phones only.

    Spider-Man Joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Update

    Sounds like a temporary fix at best. If I understand correctly, Marvel gets to incorporate Spiderman into one MCU movie on its own terms, and then Sony continues to produce movies on it's own terms after that, although with guidance coming from Marvel. Marvel gets some control in the...

    8-Bit Philosophy: Is Capitalism Bad For You?

    Fabulous. Absolutely fabulous. More of this, please! I loved the narrator, who sounds like he's channelling the voice of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. EDIT: Subscribed on YouTube, too.

    Intel CFO Says its Tech is "so Far Ahead", Apple Needs it to Keep up

    As a long-term Apple user, I personally hope that it doesn't produce it own chips, unless it maintains parity with Intel, both in power and architecture. I don't want to return to the old PowerPC days where compatibility with Windows was a struggle. My main rig at the moment is an iMac with...

    EA Exec Says Its Games Are "Too Hard to Learn" For New Players

    If you have never played an FPS before, for example, it will take a while to get used to the controls. If he was talking about NEW players, the statement would be uncontroversial. But since he is supposedly talking about the AVERAGE gamer, then he is talking out of his proverbial. Also, I'm...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Takes Game of the Year at DICE Awards

    At least it went to Hearthstone, and none of the Superbowl nonsense... Come now, that's unfair. DA:I also won best RPG/MMO. Which doesn't affect the gist of your argument at all ;)

    Ass-Creed and COD announcemnets are like Christmas: they seem to start earlier every year. I look forward to the point when they start announcing next year's iteration before they release this year's. It can't be far off.
