    Why videogames are art

    I minored in it, it's overrated... stick to creative writing :/ (Major in computer game design, ie ALL the creative (non coding) stuff)

    Poll: Anime Forum

    Oh, I'm not saying it WOULDNT have other series mentioned... I know there's a few genuine fans of the media out there, who genuinly appreicate series for what they are... but when given the option to flourish, things go to pot. "This is why we cant have nice things" and all that. I've helped...

    Poll: Anime Forum

    Considering the existing catagories are "Gaming" and "other"... I dont really see why it should get an anime forum before anything else. As much a fan of anime I am (with over 300 series under my belt)... 90% of anime-related talk on non-specialist forums ALWAYS leads to 10-20 threads about...

    Poll: Poll: If you could ban one thing in modern action games, what would it be?

    I agree with xmetatr0nix... I've always loved playing games, as you would watch a film, or read a book... Seeing characters and plotlines develop and draw you in because they're interesting and you enjoy that aspect of it. Rather than todays increasing emphasis on multiplayer gameplay. Even...

    Poll: Prefer A Male or Female Character?

    To me, it depends entirely on the quality of the player model, appearance etc... If i'm going to spend any great deal of time looking at, and interacting with others, via this character, I want it to be something I wont get sick of looking at. (Or as a games designer myself... something I wont...

    Our Names

    I got called 'Cypher' by friends when I was in highschool, because I was often cryptic or hard to work out (cypher being a variation of cipher, meaning a code) This was YEARS before the Matrix... I'd also like to point out... back when it was an almost rare nickname. After the film came out...

    How many of you, Escapists, enjoy doing 3D?

    I'm a computer games designer currently at University, so working with 3D is part of my course. It's something I really enjoy both as part of the course, and as a hobby. Atm, I use Maya and UnrealEditor3 (for 2004), and photoshopCS3 for texturing both 3D characters and levels

    Microsoft did not copy Miis

    To set this straight.. Microsoft didnt rip off Apple. Apple SOLD the rights for an icon-based GUI to Microsoft

    Poll: Hunting

    Hunting for food, or as a measure to maintain an ecosystem (ie controlling numbers) is fine in my books. Although I dont agree with hunting for entertainment. Granted, some methods are more humane than others (like fox-hunting), but in my opinion it's pointless and distasteful to take pleasure...

    Do you Play DoTA

    Just a heads up, DOTA is neither an FPS, nor an RTS. It's purely an RPG mod for Warcraft3 which sees a team of players pick a hero, grind for experiance, then attack another team of heroes. I've played it a few times at LANs, and I'd definetly say that it's best played in a LAN environment...

    what are some good pc games to play?

    Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. A very good RTS BioShock (if you've not played the 360 version) Darwinia, well worth a look into. An addictive game with a heavy RTS influence Anything with MonkeyIsland in the title ^_^ MaxPayne (I prefer 1, over 2, but apparantly both are good)
