    The Big Picture: Schlocktober 2013: Puppet Master

    Thank god for Schlocktober, the Escapist has been getting far too serious recently.

    Should I self-publish?

    Got a friend who's had a book published the traditional route, I can only offer bit of insight into that process, it took her about five years after writing to get it published, it was basically a constant stream of sending draft after draft and being told to make constant improvements and...

    taboola ads are frigging discusting

    Well that makes that slightly less disgusting but it will be a while before I can eat frozen peas again. And the list of what people can get their kicks off continues to leave me slightly puzzled

    LoadingReadyRun: Badly Broken

    Oh my god, there are others, this is amazing, i never watched Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, the wire, Walking Dead or Lost, i thought i was the only one. Its just easier to pretend, the strange thing is i actually watch a lot of TV, i just can't bring myself to care about any of these shows...

    taboola ads are frigging discusting

    Yeah i agree, i get it escapist needs ads to survive, but some of the taboola ads are just unpleasant to look at. Especially that one of the persons knee with weird stuff apparently growing on it and no i'm not going to click on it to find out what it is because then they would win.

    Sean Bean Narrates Train Simulator 2014 Launch Trailer

    Ah Sharpe, so many jokes made about you i occasionally forget what an immense actor you are. Give train simulator 2014 the credit it's due that was a good advert. Almost made me consider buying it but i don't want to risk flash backs of Bangor to Chester on Arriva Trains Wales *shiver*, although...

    Don't Blame Games, Blame Pants

    I find this article rife with inaccuracies, did not the Romans, one of the most militaristic empires the world has ever seen, give preference to wearing tunics and if trousers cause violence explain Scotland. In fact the invention of violence far pre-dates the discovery of trousers, the modern...

    Buy A Warhammer 40k Space Marine Chapter For $11K

    You could buy 3D printer and hire an artist to design your own chapter for that much. Its a shame i could probably quite enjoy Warhammer, if not take it seriously, but every time i go and have a look, i just look at the prices and think fuck that.

    Are major game reviewers morally bankrupt at this point? (Wall of Text Warning) (Updated)

    Yeah i just checked out the meta critic review, i looked got as far as one that was blaming EA for milking the total war series and then went back to ignoring meta critic users because they are crazy people. Morally bankrupt no, 8/10 sounds about right if you used purely numbers, is there a...

    There's a Petition to get GWAR to Perform at the Superbowl Halftime Show

    Your making them sound more like this, but with the exception of the paying too much bit. No in all seriousness, that sounds all well and good but the problem with anything like that is that Football has a wide audience demographic and GWAR may be fantastic to a small part of the...

    What's the most boring book you've ever read?

    Never got through the whole thing, but early modern religious intolerance and general xenophobic ranting starts fun but gets old after a while and at a grand total of twelve books long John Foxe's Act and Monuments goes on a while. Had to read it for my dissertation. and seriously what is...

    Great video game openings

    Definitely agreed on that one that music is utterly fantastic and brilliantly sets the tone for the rest of the game. Other than that got to love the dawn of war series openings, not even much of a fan of War Hammer but they are fantastic scenes, just wish each expansion came with a new one...

    So characters who are dead, but you still think are the best in the series

    Ah Buffy the Vampire slayer, you build a set of characters teach us to love them and then start torturing them.

    Teach me about tea

    Boil water, warm mug, place tea bag in mug, leave for 2-5 minutes, remove tea bag, add milk. Note some people add sugar this is wrong, if you sea anyone attempt this try and correct them, if they refuse your wisdom dispose of them. On a more serious note i quite enjoy Indian and Chinese...
