    A Challenge to Pro-#GamerGaters and Anti-#Gamergaters

    Thanks for the support Avtr - and for understanding. Despite the doctoral defenses going back and forth in the thread, I'm actually very happy with how this thread has worked thusfar. When last I checked in it was only on page one, and I've learned a lot about my fellow Escapists just from...

    A Challenge to Pro-#GamerGaters and Anti-#Gamergaters

    Zipa, I used to love playing on my Genesis, but I was the only one in the house that liked to play with it. I also agree with you that harassment of any kind is not something that should be allowed to stand unaddressed, which is why I wanted to make this thread in the first place. Thanks for...

    A Challenge to Pro-#GamerGaters and Anti-#Gamergaters

    Irick, here's there reason why we need to address the fringe elements of both sides: Because they exist. So long as these fringe elements remain unaddressed, each side will take it in turn to continue to use them in opposition. For instance, every discussion that occurs between Pro and Anti...

    A Challenge to Pro-#GamerGaters and Anti-#Gamergaters

    Wow, this worked better than I thought it would - I honestly thought most people would ignore it, but turn away to do some gamin' for a little bit and come back to a lot more responses! First off, thanks to everyone for posting - even the cynic-goblin in your head, Rex. Now down to...

    A Challenge to Pro-#GamerGaters and Anti-#Gamergaters

    The first game I ever beat entirely was Secret of Mana, but I think that's just because that was the only game my older brother let me play by myself. As to the second part, speaking up about a thing doesn't eliminate it's existence. I'm not asking you to apologize for anything, just to...

    A Challenge to Pro-#GamerGaters and Anti-#Gamergaters

    Hello everyone, how are you doing? Good? Me too. Bad? I'm sorry to hear that. Indifferent? Well, that sucks. So before we begin let me start with an introduction. I've been a member of the Escapist since 2008, I've been a gamer - and no, I don't think it's an offensive term - for most of...

    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    No, I remember it being more along the style of the early Quest for Glory games.

    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    I'm trying to remember this game from the 90s. An isometric high-quality sprite based game in which you play as a warrior or a knight type character. I only ever played the demo for it, but in the demo you start off training in an arena with another group of knights, and after you go to your...

    Why you love the Escapist!

    What is more loving than sodomy jokes? I also love the personality behind the content contributors; Jim and Yahtzee were fantastic together at the Expo this year, the LRR crew are the same in reality as they are on the internet, and Gavin doesn't shy away from ANYTHING.

    Why you love the Escapist!

    Now that more people have posted, I can put some more stuff down... :D Another big reason that I love the Escapist is that everyone involved with it are genuinely enthusiastic about games and geek culture. There's no fake "Why yes, I too play the Halos and Calls of Duty."

    Why you love the Escapist!

    First, a preamble. We've all noticed that on the forums people tend to be overly critical and harsh, and having attended the Escapist Expo this year I know for a fact that we aren't all that way. Some of us just don't have anything we want to talk about, or don't like to bother or talk to...

    Randy Pitchford talks about next Duke Nukem game.

    At least this time it'll be Gearbox's from the ground up, and not a corpse they tried to resurrect from 3D Realms.

    Foreign Slang that You Use?

    I use whatever feels right for the occasion. Though, the prevalence of David Tennant's Doctor who has made me use 'Molto Bene' more often than previously.

    Poll: Porn ads? Really?

    Wow. Six pages. Obligatory Pub-Club is Awesome and doesn't get ads post activation! Seriously though, it's hardly worth getting this upset about. Yeah, it's stupid - Yeah, it's funny. No, it isn't ruining your life. The porn isn't jumping out the screen and throttling you to death, nor...
