    Flash ads with sounds

    Dear mother of god, they're everywhere! It pleases me to disable adblock on The Escapist, but they're so annoying! A 10 sec loop of a Captain America sound. I like to keep Escapist tabs open while i do other things, but now its simply impossible! Please Escapist crew, i love your site and as...

    Sex and Video Games [NSFW Subject]

    Does anyone here remember Farcry 3's sex scene? I actually found it awesome! Not only does it have gameplay around it (even though it is a metaphor) but it works perfectly with the plot as a way to initiate you into the tribe. Yes, it was cheating but it felt more of a power thing than...

    Societal Opposition to Self-Death

    Exactly my thoughts, a proper suicide has to look at the pain his/her death will cause to their loved ones and say "Yeah, this is less than the pain i'm currently through". In which case is that even possible? That said, what about cases like...

    What is the WORST, most dislikable personality trait a person can have?

    People who with or without knowing disregard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor . Pretty much people who are unable to put themselves in the position of others.

    Escape to the Movies: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - The Movie That Broke MovieBob

    Couldn't have said it better. As you wish failure upon those who butchered Spider Man, i wish you to understand the full extent of the dissapointment ME3 brought upon those who loved the franchise.

    What makes Origin so terrible?

    Pro: Offline works (mostly), can't say that for Steam Deal-breaking con: It makes me buy in Euros instead of Dollars despite the fact that i don't live anywhere near Europe.

    Lovecraft and Video Games

    Damnit! You beat me! Also, consider the Vasari from Sins of a Solar Empire (or rather the thing they are single-mindedly running from). http://sinsofasolarempire.wikia.com/wiki/Vasari#History

    so the earth is F***ed aparently..

    Totally agree with you, technology in all its flavors is our greatest achievement. However, his thesis goes more along: "Technology must keep up with capitalism, otherwise capitalism will go through resources faster than we can procure them. Therefore, enforcing a hard cap on resource...

    so the earth is F***ed aparently..

    We grow our resource consumption at a superlineal rate. We have finite resources. Resources will eventually run out. I seriously cannot disagree with his reasoning. My issues come with his proposed alternatives, but then again its not like there are a lot to choose from.

    Valve releasing new PC/Console in 2013 !?!?!?

    I think the key is in the "turnkey" concept Gabe uses. I believe the market certainly wouldn't be PC enthusiasts but those who pick consoles solely to relieve themselves from the hassles of PC gaming. I think he envisions a PC which you "turn a key" and that's it, no OS installation, no...

    Total War Developer Snags Warhammer

    I would actually prefer they did something between their Total War series and Kingdom Under Fire. I think it would benefit greatly from such a mixup. Anyway, go CA!

    Why is cheating bad?

    I see it as a matter of "Social Contract". Most of the advantages of our modern world is being able to easily hire people to delegate your responsabilities (eg. Health to physicians, building to engineers). To me, the whole point of not cheating is acknowledging that when i hire somebody, i...
