    The longest you've managed to avoid getting something spoiled...

    When I saw Fight Club (c. 2010) not only did I not know the twist, I didn't even know there was a twist. And it blew my freaking mind. On another note, I still don't know how Mass Effect 3 ends. From what I've gathered over the years, you choose one of three options and none of the choices...

    Your life events through the life of The Escapist

    Since joining this site I've finished secondary school, done a four year college course, and then decided to take a few months off. Those few months are now approaching three years without a huge amount to show for it. I tried to be in a band for a while, but that all fell through (though I...

    Projects that fizzled out that you really wish hadn't.

    Guillermo Del Toro's version of The Hobbit. It fell apart after 18 months of pre-production. Instead, we got 3 movies I'd rather not talk about. I sometimes lie awake at night, wondering what might have been.

    Overrated Classic Movies

    Nope. Make 'em laugh. Come at me. This guy's easily the best character. I'm also fond of Good Morning. Damn it, I love that movie. OT: Most of the movies mentioned in this thread, I either love, or I could see how others might enjoy them. But one classic I've never been able to get...

    Discuss and Rate the Last Thing You Watched (non-movies)

    Mr. Mercedes. Pretty damn good, though it gets very silly at points. I'll have to read the book now, so I can get annoyed at all the minor changes. Farscape season 1 and most of season 2. This show is right up my alley. It's about a bloke who falls through a wormhole and joins up with a...

    What are your top 10 Game of Decade (starting from 2010 to onwards)

    I'm with you two. I played lots of great games in the last 8 years, it's just that most of them came out in the 90s/00s. While I enjoyed plenty of games from this decade, I'm struggling to think of any I'd consider truly great. (Though, these days, I'm doing well if I play a game within 5 years...

    Escapists, what are you OTHER interests?

    I enjoy studying languages. I'm fairly proficient at Spanish now (Probably somewhere between B2 and C1 level), I've started going strong on Japanese after years of dipping in and out of it a lot (And watching far too much anime) and I've been slowly getting into Russian these last few months...

    GOTYTDCOTY 2017

    I played the original Deus Ex this year and adored it. The political commentary has only gotten more relevant since it came out, the levels are very well balanced for whatever you've been putting your exp points into, and the music is kickass throughout.

    Games that are better because of Gltiches

    Halo 2 online multiplayer was a very special thing to be a part of, and the glitches had a lot to do with that. A lot of the time, instead of playing the actual game, we'd explore the map for secrets. There was a glitch you could do with the energy sword that let you climb any building you want...

    Can you guess a game from a line of dialogue? (thread game)

    Ooh. Abe's Oddysee. Classic. The second line could be a number of things, but I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and guess Specter from ape escape. Here's a couple new quotes: 1. "I've got bigger fish to fry." "Bigger than the galaxy?" "Well, different fish anyway." 2. "Gee, I...

    Can you guess a game from a line of dialogue? (thread game)

    Half-life 2! It's not our fault that Halo is such an immensely quotable game. How about this one: "Trouble with the trolley, eh?"

    Who are your sports heroes?

    I'm quite fond of Ronnie O'Sullivan. He's had a lot of ups and downs throughout his career, but every time it seems like he's finally finished, he comes back stronger than ever.

    What have you guys been listening to lately?

    Wagakki Band. They mix together hard rock with traditional japanese instruments. I love it.

    GOG.com Brings Back Pinata Madness Sale Starting Today

    I gave it a shot. I got Pillars of Eternity: Hero edition. A game I've not heard of, but seems to have gotten some pretty positive reviews. I'll probably give it a shot some day.

    When will the Comic Book Movie fatigue hit the majority of fans? Or has it already begun/happened?

    I've been feeling the fatigue since somewhere around the MCU phase 2, but after the new Spider-Man exceeded my expectations, suddenly I'm back on board. It's always been my plan to keep watching these movies at least until all the infinity gauntlet stuff gets resolved, and for the first time in...
