    Jimquisition: Monetizing Whales For The Retention Of Virality

    I am sure they are using it because didn't some study show that a very small percentage of F2P gamers spend all the money. That will be the first slide shown at all these presentations, and then ways to get more whales as a percentage of playerbase, how to keep them, or how to transition a...

    Does Fallout 2's combat get better later on?

    For all the love that Fallout 2 gets, from me included (it's my all time favourite), lots of people would agree that the very beginning is pretty bad, and where you are at things haven't warmed up yet still. The combat is never very deep, but, yes, you will hit a lot more often and the kill...

    The Labels

    Sorry, but it has to be 'filthy casual'. Does it work without the filthy?

    Paul Dini: Superhero Cartoon Execs Don't Want Female Viewers

    I love the bit where he goes: "[Career killing rant], not [where I am] but at other places, [Career killing rant]." At least he was smart enough to include the, 'of course not where I'm currently working'. Where I'm currently working they are the bastions of progressive thinking.

    Why do gamers lash out against gamers so much?

    Anonymity and no consequences for your actions. Plus, the written word is not great for dynamic discussions.

    XCOM: Enemy Within Review

    This is so totally gaming crack. You can forsee your initial high, only for the later comedown to be a real bummer. I suspect that Impossible will be the new classic to be honest. I?m pretty sure I?ll start with impossible. The game drops off a difficulty cliff if you can get enough...

    XCOM: Enemy Within Preview - Whole New Game

    'Enemy Within is a standalone expansion.....' Um, it requires the base game to play. How is that a standalone expansion. Oh, that's just for the PC, which is not the major focus of escapist, I get it.

    Jimquisition: SimShitty

    Any lawyers here from the UK. Sounds like Jim says some pretty libelous stuff here. I'm sure he doesn't have proof for a lot of the accusations he makes against EA.

    What is your favourite anime?

    I think you might find the best of year reviews from ANN a good place to start. A link to 2012: http://www.animenewsnetwork.co.uk/feature/2013-01-01/ Follow those backwards a few years- 2010 was especially good. I have a huge list of anime I've thought amazing, some of which have been...

    Movie Defense Force: Alien 3

    I recommend to everyone who liked the movie to read the book Alien 3. I think it's even better than the movie, and I wish they had done all the things in the book, in the movie. Perhaps they would have, if it hadn't had so many production problems. I did really like Alien 3, but the book is...

    Seconded, with much vigour and sentiment.

    Those hidden gem movies and why we should watch them

    Excellent, I was looking for some movie recommendations. I recommend some obvious and not so. Mainly old, but maybe there's someone out there who'll benefit. The beat that my heart skipped- a French film remake about a young gangster wannabe who reconnects with a piano playing past...

    What's your controversial opinion?

    I think that people who want to be painlessly euthanised should be free to do so.
