    Your 10 GOTY?

    So I'm not going to abide by the rules that well because I haven't played that many games actually released in 2016. Instead I'm going to list my top ten GOTY that I've played this year (MWAHAHAHAHA, LOOP HOLES! Which I hope no one calls me out on, be cool guys, be cool). Also these are in no...

    When did you last get your 'Wow factor' from video games?

    Yesterday/Today while playing through Oxenfree. I thought I'd enjoy it and I really did. But it was when things started to get super weird that I realised I'd gotten really attached to the characters. When I reached the end I was just wowed and had to sit back and soak it all in (and now I've...

    Poll: The Escapist's 2016 Readers Choice GOTY Voting Thread

    I haven't voted since I haven't actually played any of those games this year! Ha! My secret write in vote (totally allowed) is Oxenfree which I've just beaten and absolutely love.

    Miracle of Sound: Dream of the Sky (BioShock: Infinite)

    This is possibly one of my favourite of your songs. I've liked a lot of your other work but this is one of my favourites. Fits the game very well, especially in the way that the song has multiple phases which all flow into each other very smoothly.

    Games you like that are "uncool" to like.

    Mass Effect 3. Sure the ending bugged me a bit but I was only playing one way and in a sense the ending gave me closure. Plus I loved the build up to it. Next is the Modern Warfare games. Hell, I even enjoy playing the online! Going on to smaller games... I really enjoyed Alice: Madness...

    Who should be the next Batman?

    And that is where you have made your first error! Dick Grayson has already made a far superior Batman. At least he smiles. I think we should definitely get someone new in there but to be honest I couldn't really say who. Should definitely be someone new and on the way up but not too young...

    Audio Logs are terrible.

    I always loved the audiologs because they, to me, made the game even creepier. Just listening to someone saying creepy stuff (I WANT TO TAKE THE EARS OFF) and having to walk around a dark area brought tension to a max. It won't suit every game. It worked in Bioshock because I felt that the point...

    "YOU CAN STEER THE TORPEDO?" moments

    Took me an age for this as well. I didn't realise it rotated either! My girlfriend pointed out that it might rotate and eventually she rotated it and pointed it out. I felt quite dumb. To be honest I haven't done much passed that though since Skyrim ain't my thing. Another one for me is from...

    Poll: Do you drink coffee?

    I like the idea of caffeine keeping me up but honestly can't stand the taste. I find it too bitter. At most I think I could handle a very sugary iced coffee. I prefer tea and if I need to stay up I'll eat or have tea.

    What kind of sex life do you have?

    I'm in a committed relationship with a healthy and indulgent sex life. We tend to have sex at least once a day and experiment with positions and toys relatively often.

    Poll: Are you doing Extra Life this year?

    After seeing the recent article regarding Extra Life recently I was wondering how many Escapists were participating. If you don't know Extra Life is a charity event where people get sponsored to play video games for 24 hours. Any money raised is donated to a charity for hospitalised children in...

    Can you defend yourself?

    I only just started doing kick boxing so that wouldn't be useful. On the other hand I know how to fight dirty so that might help. On the final hand the simplest way I'd defend myself would be by running away very quickly. Or going to my happy place until they stop hurting me.

    Your bad gaming habits

    I also tend to horde everything until I'm too weighed down. Then I sell it all in one fell swoop! I'm also a massive trophy whore. I don't attempt to platinum all of them.. Instead I calculate which I can do. Ill especially do it with a game I really like, even if some trophies are...

    Best band you've never heard of.

    They're opening at a Dragonforce show I'm going to this weekend. I agree completely with your analysis of them!

    Poll: What's the best animated show airing right now?

    While I enjoy Archer and really like Futurama, and expect I'll like Legend of Korra since I loved the legend of Aang I answered other. In terms of English speaking cartoons I love Young Justice and I think it's still on air. That mostly has to do with my fanboy love for nightwing but it's also...
