    Hey Escapist, what are your favorite Internet time-wasters?

    TVTropes. I won't link for the sake of everybody's sanity :D

    So Escapist users, how did you discover your favourite band?

    I was flirting with the super cute Australian dj at my local radio station and while looking up Australian bands to have something to talk to her about, I discovered The Veronicas. Turns out she was married, but it worked out because I wound up seriously loving The Veronicas and they got me...

    You wake up in a horror movie. What do you do?

    Reinstall my man-hymen and thank God I'm not black? Damn! Ninja'd by a few seconds :D

    Section 8: Prejudice Drops Later This Month

    Debating if I'm going to get the 360 or PC version. Either way, it reminds me of the awesomeness that was Tribes! And I too saw the preview on TotalBiscuit; got me super excited for the game.

    Am I the only one to find Sucker Punch amazingly distasteful? Spoilers possibly

    Definitely agree to that, and that was a point I'd forgotten to make. She just made it even more unsatisfying.

    Am I the only one to find Sucker Punch amazingly distasteful? Spoilers possibly

    I too felt skeeved out after I saw it, though a few reviews are softening my opinion on it. My big problem is that the female sexuality is broadcast to grab your attention. When it does, the movie parallels it to the desires of the male characters, who are all right bastards. Essentially it...

    Unskippable: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

    Hearing Stan Lee speak is just inherently funny, but you guys added to it. Well done sirs.

    Games That Time Forgot

    So amazed and glad to see the Sacrifice love! That and the Spellforce games define my ideal genre. They could all use some tweaking, but overall, that style of game needs to exist more in the world. More space exploration sims too! I've tried it, but I can't get into EVE and the only thing...

    Poll: Do You Skip Intros

    I've recently started watching Babylon 5 for the first time on Netflix. The voiceover at the beginning is pretty cool, so I'll typically listen to that and depending on the state of my beverage, I'll either let the rest of the credits roll or skip ahead. Follow the same pattern for most shows...

    PAX East 2011 Cosplay Gallery

    I loose a couple thousand nerd points because even after reading this entire thread, and all the useless captions, I only recognize like half of these costumes. I'm so ashamed.

    Your guilty pleasure song/band

    Absolutely no reason to be ashamed of The Veronicas. They are amazing! Saw them live in Cleveland a year and a half ago. Was a great time except for being the only 24 year old dude in a room full of teenage girls (in a bad way)!

    Love me some Gaga. Sometimes you've got to let your monster out, ya know.

    Best/Most Fun character you've made for a DND Game

    Good God I'm embarrassed it took me a second to figure that out :D

    Where do you game?

    When I lived alone, the HDTV and 360 were in the living room, desktop in the bedroom, and the laptop anyplace. When I have roommates, unless we're sharing the tv (and thus the bills!!!), it's all shoved in the bedroom. While it is nice to roll out of bed into my recliner a few feet away and...

    Games Completed More Than Once

    Me :( I'm pretty sure between the ages of 6 and 26 (which I'll be in 2 weeks) I've only ever finished 13 games. I've played tons more, I just don't usually have the attentionspan to make it all the way through.
