    Buying a 3DS bundle

    If you didn't know, Nintendo are giving away a free game if you register a 3DS and either Smash Bros or Pokemon ORAS (http://store.nintendo.co.uk/offers/nintendo-handhelds-free-game.list) so I thought now might be a good time to get a 3DS. This leaves me with a small quandary. I want the...

    Games where you can Play as a shapeshifter

    A few days ago a game called Dysan the Shapeshifter popped up on Steam. I have no idea if it's any good but it might be worth a look.

    I Truly Don't Get the Quicktime Event Hate

    Someone mentioned Prince of Persia: Two Thrones earlier, and I'd like to use that example to illustrate my point. QTEs occur in two different situations in that game. The first is stealth kills - you initiate the QTE, then press attack when prompted. I don't have a problem with this for two...

    Poll: What's the coolest type of magic, in your opinion?

    I'd go with either fire or ice, because they have the greatest potential for god-awful puns. "Ice to meet you!" "Don't burn out!" Classic.

    Poll: Katana and Rapier: An Objective Comparison

    Well, the wielder of the rapier would be the snooty noble, and snooty nobles are always the villain. If you're in a situation where the snooty nobleman is the villain, he will always get his comeuppance. On the other hand the guy with the rapier gets to do cool stuff like swinging from...

    Are you a superchromat?

    I scored 4. I like how it said the best score for my gender and age range (male, 20-29) is -200.

    Ideas To Improve Next Elder Scrolls Melee Combat

    I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Chivalry yet, though I don't know how it would translate to consoles. At the very least, maybe replace the block for non-shield users with a parry. As for backstabs, how about they tie your skill and weapon quality to risk of getting caught before and after...

    Poll: When a game lets you create your own protagonist...

    Up until very recently I just did an approximation of myself, but I'd still always spend like 2 hours on the character creation. I'm getting bored with that now, so I've starting making originals. Highlights so far include making a [whatever the giant race is called] woman in the FFXIV beta and...

    The "late to the party" thread

    I played Quake for the first time today. I also played Portal fairly late, and I only played half-life 1 this summer.

    Escapists, what are your deep dark gaming secrets?

    I've haven't played any of the Mega Drive Sonic games past the first 2 or 3 levels. In fact, I've played more of Sonic Heroes than those games combined (still didn't finish it). I think Final Fantasy X-2 was pretty good.

    Games from the old days you'd want to see remade/updated.

    Wonder Boy in Monster World. I saw a Let's Play of a game called Amulets and Armour: That'd be pretty cool brought up to date.

    Poll: Totalbiscuit

    I like his stuff, but I can't stand the way he says "obsurd" instead of absurd.

    Grand Theft Auto V Adopts Skyrim-Style Skill System

    I think it's a cunning ploy to make sure we switch characters every now and then, so we don't end up with one really strong guy and two pathetic ones, and then hate it when we have to play as the weak characters. Also, how would you level up stealth outside of missions? Just crouch-walking...

    Poll: Glasses-wearing escapists! How do you adjust them when they start slipping?

    Middle knuck of my right index finger on the bridge. If I can't use my hands (e.g. if they're wet), then I tilt my head back, then shake it until they come down to my eyes. That's what I do in private anyway.
