Hello there, My name is Benjamin. I would like to ask if anybody in The Escapist Community is an indie game developer. I ask this because I am a composer looking to write free, original music for games. Though I like to consider myself versatile, I do tend to specialize in...

Hello there, My name is Benjamin. I would like to ask if anybody in The Escapist Community is an indie game developer. I ask this because I am a composer looking to write free, original music for games! Though I like to consider myself versatile, I do tend to specialize in...

I turned off the radio 5 years ago. mainly because of the DJs. To answer a question, if it was my music at the top of the charts, with legions of fans, I would probably be such an egotistical twat that it wouldn't bother me. Then again, I wonder how Justin Bieber and the like feel. Maybe they're...

I've always understood people like that as not having found something that moves them, relates to them, musically speaking. You just haven't found that 'where have you been all my life' piece of music. Which is sad, as all you have probably been fed is nothing but shit, which would make anyone...

That's the sad part. And ultimately, they're not really deciding for themselves as the blogger has decided whether the band is worthy to write about or not, usually influenced by another blog. It's a never ending circle of copy cat! Who can honestly say that if a new band arrived that you adored...

It seems to me nowadays that unless a band or an artist is being shoved down someone's throat by a record label, blog, magazine, or whatever, people generally don't give a shit. Perhaps this is to blame for the state of 'modern music' nowadays. The industry decides what is to be sold, and the...

girl i'm supposed to be living with has told me she can't afford a place til January, after I waited here 2 more weeks for her, so I will have no where to live next year. Emerging responsibilities of becoming an adult.

Quick note to all chronic insomniacs. I watched a programme (about insomnia) and one method was to keep out of the bedroom entirely until it is time to go to bed. It is thought that if the only time you go into your bedroom is to sleep then your brain will associate your bedroom with sleep and...

Couple days. I would wake up at 9am, go to uni. Get to bed around 2am, lie awake. Then some flat would come back loud and drunk at 2.30am until around 4 or 5am. I would get up, have some coffee and go into uni for 9am again. Not fun, although I would usually get sleep high which was fun. But if...

I'd heard of Freespace 2 but I had no idea it had been modded to such a degree. It looks incredible! And you say there are Battlestar mods? I may have to explore...

I've been thinking about this for a while now ever since recently finishing Battlestar Galactica. I remember back in the day playing X-wing Verses Tie-Fighter no end. The sickening cockpit view staring out into the void of space. The visceral joy of manipulating my ship with the plastic...

I was reading for one of my modules about 'Barber-Surgeons', that's right. In the early 17th century medical practitioners were all over the place and there was a whole sub-section of unlicensed barbers who also performed surgery on the side. I thought it might be cool to have one in an...

Well seeing as I've never had a girl on valentine's day (lucky?) it really means nothing. I just see it as another day. So I have been on the escapist listening to blink-182 (punk-rock thread reminded me of being 11) and I'm going round my brother's later to be fed and play batman. Pretty...
