    The Best Game You bought from the Bargain Bin

    Unless you aren't popular, then Gabe wants to charge you $100 to play his stuff online according to the story from earlier today. (It'll never happen, but it's a good segue way)

    The Best Game You bought from the Bargain Bin

    Not to offend you or anything but you can get that at Wal-Mart all the time for $9.97. OT: I usually get most of my games from the bargain bins, but lately the best deal I found was on Star Wars PC games at Toys R Us. I got Republic Commando, The Jedi Knight games, Galactic Battlegrounds...

    CEO: Square Enix Has Become "Weaker Than Expected"

    Atlus are truly the benevolent overlords of RPG's that I would gratefully bow down to. Look at the DS game The Dark Spire the most simply made RPG of the last 20 years, but also one of the deepest and better than anything SE has put out in 15 years except maybe DQ9 (I loved that game) and not...

    So can someone relieve my fear about the 21st?

    I was listening to the radio a few weeks back and Neal Boortz was on, anyway he mentioned the guy who made this prediction was offering to do interviews, but the only day he had available to do one was May 23. Yeah, he's scheduling interviews for 2 days after his prediction. Even he knows he's...

    They say this game sucks... but I LOVE IT!

    Deadly Premonition is in my top 5 favorite games of this generation, when every game producer decided games need to zig Access Games decided to make a game that zags. It completely went the opposite way every other game this gen has been made and that is what made it such a classic in my eyes...

    Is Fighting Dead

    Honor and three bucks will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. A wise man once said "Win if you can, lose if you must but ALWAYS cheat". Saying stuff like "There is no honor in beating a weaker opponent" is just something people who lose say, it helps you save face by saying you are less...

    A sad day for the escapist, as we have lost a dear friend

    Didn't know her at all but the fact that you made a thread about her life and passing speaks volumes for her. May she have been in heaven an hour before the devil knew she was gone.

    Woman Suing Chuck E. Cheese's for Promoting Childhood Gambling

    Or maybe she had to be Dazzler every time and that's why she got pissed enough to sue. As for the games themselves promoting gambling, I really don't buy that. Most states have schools that are partially paid for by lottery tickets and then in turn have Vegas Night type things for the kids...

    Poll: New forum rules - Yay or Nay?

    Your equal treatment is that you are not judged by the same criteria as everyone else. Let's take the Golden Goose Yahtzee for example. If I made the same gay jokes and remarks about women that he does in his videos I would be banned so fast it would break the sound barrier. Yes, he makes...

    Poll: New forum rules - Yay or Nay?

    That's why I think it's a scam to get money for nothing. They kind of imply that you'll get easier treatment (just by the way they always shill the Pub Club) and people take it that that's the way it is (when people who have been here for awhile know better) and send them their money. It's an...

    Poll: New forum rules - Yay or Nay?

    The thing is people are always going to get around the system and I don't mean using adblockers, I mean people who put the spy and adware into popups. By not allowing the use of popup blockers doesn't that make Russ responsible if someone gets through and infects everybody's computers? Now...

    Poll: New forum rules - Yay or Nay?

    Honestly, I think this whole thing is just a way to get more people to give them $20 a year for the Pub Club. "If I give them money they will look the other way a bit more for me" says member number 34595. "While we can't out and out say that we will," the Escapist Mod says "Let's just say...

    Highly Rated Games

    I can't stand any FPS (and I include the Metroid Primes in that), so there goes 90% of the top mainstream games and Valve titles. I also hate fighting games. I used to like them when they were one on one, but I hate the whole pick a team and fight with them thing. Then again my favorite...

    Half Life 2, why?

    When all the "Half Life is the Greatest Game Series EVER!!!!!!!!! And if you don't like it you're a console playing noob that lives in their parents basement" type threads stop, then yes, we can stop the "Half Life Sucks" threads. Deal?

    "Classics" that you were underwhelmed by.

    I get the Tim Burton Batman films (the first being my favorite movie of all time). Michael Keaton was the perfect choice to play Burton's Batman and Bruce Wayne, a "regular" guy who is deeply disturbed to almost a point of psychosis trying to lead two lives and in the end failing to be able to...
