    Superman/Batman Title Revealed, And It's Hilarious

    That subtitle sounds more appropriate for an Ace Attorney game than Superman vs. Batman. Really, it wouldn't be too bad of a title if they kept the "s" in "vs.". Just having it be a "v" really does make it look like a court case more than a duel.

    When's the last time you read books like these?

    Can't say I've ever read a novel by someone of African descent. I have read a book by someone of Indian descent, though that was about Indian life and culture, so I suppose that's the closest I've gotten to fulfilling your first requirement. As for a translated novel, I did read a Japanese...

    Is Anime Healthy?

    If it hasn't been thrown out yet, I'd highly recommend Monster. It's a pretty long series at 74 episodes, but it's paced very well (virtually no filler) and plays out like the kind of hard hitting adult dramas that are so popular these days. It seriously wouldn't be out of place next to Breaking...

    Jimquisition: Integrity, Journalism, and Free PS4s

    Pretty sure you voided the warranty on that PS4 with that ending.

    Jimquisition: Children of the Resolution

    That's because of proximity; you don't sit six inches away from a 40" inch TV, and you don't sit four feet away from your monitor. Bigger screens generally imply a larger seating distance.

    NaNoWriMo 2013

    I've done it twice before, but I'm struggling to come up with something for a third year in a row. Most of my ideas would work better as scripts, so I'm not sure whether I should just convert one to a novel or just go ahead and write a script instead. Plus, I haven't decided on one idea yet, so...

    Anime/Manga Relationships

    Eureka Seven is essentially a romance story with mechs. A 50 episode series, and halfway through (so not exactly quick, but the feelings are already there anyways), the two leads get together. The rest of the series actually manages to have their relationship grow even further and keep up the...

    Games That You Kinda Just Stopped Playing.

    Oh, this has happened to me so many times. Persona 3 FES: I mostly blame my perfectionism, trying to get maxed social links on my first run. The instant I fucked up, though, I just sort of stopped. I told myself "well, I don't NEED max social links, I can just enjoy the story", but my nagging...

    How to Talk About Games #2

    I was going to say something about how I vastly preferred Ace Attorney's chiptune soundtracks to the orchestral stuff, but don't want to keep beating a dead horse. But the funny thing is, I can actually say there are several horrible games out there that actually have great soundtracks. Sonic...

    Natural talent you wish you had

    I wish I could draw. Animation in particular has always intrigued me and fascinated me and I've been reading up on it a lot lately. But I can't draw worth a damn in the first place, and quite frankly, I don't really have the patience to make a good drawing or learn how.

    Jimquisition: Sequel or Slaughter

    Off Topic: What is that game with that white cloaked figure fighting monsters that kept getting shown? On Topic: I couldn't agree more with this. If sequels are justified, if it is intended to be a series for artistic reasons, then more power to you. If it wasn't intended for sequels from...

    Evangeliowned

    It is a little headscratching that, at its heart, Evangelion has always been a fairly deep show, diving into discussions about the human condition and whatnot...and then they go ahead and market the hell out of it. Granted, it seems more that this isn't exactly Anno's idea, and that Gainax just...

    Neon Genesis Evangelion

    My only real problem with this is that the first panel never happened. In fact, nothing even close to that happens.

    Your very first thought when you came on the Escapist Forum

    "Please don't be like every other gaming website forum, for the love of God, I can only take so much stupid." It was.

    Why are guns edited out of the American versions of anime and other entertainment?

    Considering I don't even remember the last time I saw an anime released by 4Kids, isn't this kind of a moot point? Virtually no one does this anymore; the only time that kind of stuff gets edited now is because they are trying to release an anime that is intended to be a merchandising machine...
