    Let's talk Switch

    Well, I for one as pre-ordered a Switch and a copy of the limited edition of Zelda. (It was a late Saturday night, I was weak... I don't want to talk about it). Because, screw the haters! (Yea, we'll see about that, I doubt it will be the dumbest thing I've ever thrown a lot of money at...

    Car Repairs

    I drive a Volvo from 1990 and have never had any major problems with it. It is however costing me close to the equivalent of 1000$ a year in preemptive maintenance...

    NX. IT'S HABBENING!!!!!

    The Wii U controller can't reach neither my bathroom nor my bed. I like the concept but that is its biggest flaw. This however seems perfect! As for the performance capabilities... well I got my PC for that so who cares, I just need something fun to play for half an hour a day to unwind and...

    Wreck-it Ralph 2 is in Development

    Heh, that's nice I guess. They really should make it about Ralph and crew having to deal with their franchise getting rebooted... That could get interesting!

    How did you choose your username?

    It's basically a modified mistranslation of my last name into English that I came up with when I was 14-ish. It's kinda stupid but it stuck and I have grown quite fond of it.

    your posting/typing speed....

    Extremely slow and further limited by my brain's inability to efficiently come up with what to type.

    favorite type of melee weapon?

    I've sort of got a thing for early 18th century cavalry swords. But the notion of (literally) knocking a nobleman of his high horse with a quarterstaff also appeals to me.

    Steam's Fall Sale Begins November 26 - Update

    I am a veteran of many Steam sales. This one will have no effect on me since I no longer lust for glory on the fields of bargain prices and Steam has all ready taken everything. So this is one battle I'll take no part in and I'll leave the fighting to younger and more eager men and women. In the...

    The Pickup Artist

    Abandonware? 3 for 2 from the bin in the back of the shop? Requiring dedicated extra hardware? Yeah, I'm done too.

    Poll: Escapist: Can you drive a Manual?

    I drove an automatic once... it was the second worst experience of my life, felt like I had no control over the car what so ever, like the bloody vehicle had a mind of its own and intended to kill me! So, yes. Manual all the way!

    George R.R. Martin Uses WordStar 4.0 DOS To Kill Game of Thrones Characters

    Fair enough, but still, nothing lasts forever. Mechanical hard drives will wear out with time or, like all mechanical systems (especially rotating ones) subjected to intermittent loads, suffer fatigue.

    George R.R. Martin Uses WordStar 4.0 DOS To Kill Game of Thrones Characters

    So, now it's a question of who'll kick the bucket first, the author or his computer? Slightly insensitive comment aside, while it's a good idea to keep your work safe from viruses and whatnot it might not be the smartest idea to keep it all on antiquated hardware that might fail...

    Your first pet you had to put to sleep.

    A rabbit I once had got a small wound on his neck that got infected and grew into a horrible mess of dead tissue and blood that covered a large area of the neck. It was a difficult decision for a kid to make but I finally called my uncle to come visit bringing his .22
