    A professional, objective, apolitical future for The Escapist...

    Wow, this site has really turned to shit, with the people it hire. Hey management, protip: Go to Stormfront and hire some content contributors, I'm sure they'll be perfectly suited for this new Escapist. Westboro Baptist Church might also want to help you guys.

    Rock, Paper, Shotgun holds no punches on Peter Molyneux interview. (Update)

    Molyneux hasn't been a giant since the 90's, he's an irrelevant leftover today and the only reason any of his entourage cuts him some slack is because of Bullfrog. Yeah, those were awesome days but the man's basically a lying conman at this point so there's every reason to hit him hard and make...

    A Note From Your Friendly Neighborhood Editor in Chief

    Hey awesome, soon Escapist can join in on the 11/10 for Next Big Game! Awesome! Anything else is "curmudgeonly" or "negative", right? Bad is good, good is bad! *snortchuckles*

    What's your favorite Harvest Moon game?

    I am ashamed to say I didn't play too much of Back To Nature, even though I have it somewhere. So would you recommend give it a try?

    What's your favorite Harvest Moon game?

    Harvest Moon for the SNES, for the simple reaso nit's the only one I've played that doesn't stress me the fuck out. In that one I can take my merri little time with chopping wood at night, or expand my farm while it's dark.In all the others I've tried it's been like: "HURRY HURRY HURRY...

    Hatred Rated Adults Only by the ESRB

    Eh, the 90's-era, WoD-level of stupid edgy game about murdering innocents because "games are too nice these days" made my the Polish neo-nazis got a AO rating? Huh, who could have guessed that. It's like, I'm surprised the sun got up this morning, or that water is wet. Imagine the wonders of...

    Into The Stars Aims To Merge FTL With Oregon Trail

    The thing I'm worried about is that it takes two fairly...Simple games ad claims to be a hybrid of those, but the graphics seem to be...Important. In short, it seems to be more about shinies than content. And yeah, "hi, we have this famous guy/girl who worked on those really famous things."...

    Black Friday... in the UK?

    Yeah, crept to Sweden as well. Opened up the newspaper this morning. "BLACK FRIDAY SALES!". No stores, no matter how much you write it in BOLDED LETTERS it won't become something over here. Urgh.

    Terrible movies that you like

    Split Second, with Rutger Hauer. It's a forgotten little gem if you ask me. Cheesy one liners, over the top acting and nonsensical plot...But oh hell, I love it to bits. The Ghost and the Darkness: Similar to Split Second, and hilarious to see Michael Douglas ham it up. GI JOE: Rise of...

    All-Female Ghostbusters Reboot Officially Happening

    Oh fuck yes! The Heat made me laugh like nothing had in al ong time, and Bridesmaids seemed damn funny if you had your Shame pillow in reach. Hell of a lot better than dragging the corpses of the old Ghostbusters back(those still alive) for "wacky" adventures. Also, Melissa McCarthy should...

    World Fantasy Awards may drop H.P. Lovecraft's likeness from award statuette due to author's racism.

    People way earlier in the thread have already refuted the claim that Lovecraft was just another guy of his time, so you might not want to rely on that argument. On topic: Eh, I'm fine with it, their prize, their choice.

    Destiny: Loot Plot

    Wha? I don't even? That's the worst Cthulhudamned loot system I've ever heard about. Who the hell thinks all those variables were a good thing for a game? Especially when there's no trade? I'm glad these jokers did not get to continue making Halo, not sure about their mental health.

    Worst BioWare companions

    Anomen from BG2 : Unlikable prick who forces you to follow a whiny quest for revenge. Male chars get Viconia/Jaheira and this is what the ladies get? He's not the worst character in BG2 though, sadly. Aerie: My first run, I grabbed her and finished her romance...And realized in the expansion...
