If I controlled Fox I'd sell the X-Men and Fantastic Four movie rights. If I controlled Sony I'd sell the Spider Man movie rights. If I controlled Marvel Studios I'd force Edgar Wright to finish Ant Man. If I controlled Lucasfilm I'd greenlight 9 more trilogies (27 more films AFTER 7, 8, and...

Hilarious. OT: Sabotage by The Beastie Boys. If not available I'll take the music from level one of the original Doom. EDIT - Thank you Escapists for your exquisite taste in music

That's hard to hear man. I felt the same way for a while. I was unemployed and getting a job led to some significant improvement in my self-worth and appreciation. Remember, everyone has their place. Perhaps you haven't found your place yet. Perhaps you have, and you simply haven't realized...

Maybe I'll be lambasted as some sort of hipster but I fucking loved Valiant Hearts and that shit made me weep like a wee baby. And Chibi Robo is an emotional roller-coaster. As for TV, Doctor Who has made me cry a few times. I'm sure there's more, but I'm off to bed.

A great game. Good mechanics (VATS can break the combat), great story, great visuals (Actually, the decrepit Washington monument visible when you leave Vault 101 haunts me, and I'm not even American.), and great fun. Not the best game ever, but the best game that year? Certainly, it has a case...

There are 9 Imperial provinces (I was brought in with Oblivion, that's what I'll base this off of) and we've only seen 2 in full. Morrowind only had you on the island of Vvardenfell. There's Black Marsh (Argonia), High Rock, Hammerfell, Elsweyr, Valenwood, The Summerset Isles, Skyrim, Cyrodiil...

Cute. OT: I love me some fucking pop music. All flash, no substance. Most of it sucks hard, but sometimes the music just gets inside you and you're belting out Call Me Maybe all the way home... Another guilty pleasure is being an upper-middle class white male living in North America. Even...

I said the meanest, most bully-est thing I hope I ever say to anyone ever... when I was 10 and had just moved to a new town and school. Sufficed to say I had a rough few years earning any respect or friendship. I'd come from a harsh, psuedo-gang mentality school where you were expected to be...

Is there a game where you platform right to left? Like a regular 80's platformer, but in the other direction?

You want more out of an industry? Vote with your wallet. This discussion may spur some people to action, but the most important thing is to always buy games that tout diversity, even if it's disingenuous. You can buy Uncharted and CoD every time because straight, white men will always sell as...

Crappy reboot form? I think you're disliking it because it's not the original. What's New Scooby Doo was fantastic, and this new show is beautiful! They establish a whole universe, an over-arching story, connections, etc. It's like the X-Files and Comic Book levels of continuity and story...

AWWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! Thanks for the pandas, bro. I raise you Koalas!

snipped and edited my own post for being dumb and clicking the wrong quote button

In terms of hours it took to beat a story mode, I'd say GTA Vice City Stories. I got stuck a lot. Like a lot, a lot. But like many other posters I'd started and never finished games for years, So Super Mario RPG (started at 6, finished at 14 when I emulated) took the longest. I still haven't...

I thought "Thank God." Then I laughed at that thought.
