Speaking of D&D setting and apocalypses, consider that: - Forgotten Realms has more than one apocalypse (as mentioned above) - Greyhawk has multiple apocalypses (as mentioned in the article) - Dragonlance has the Cataclysm AND "the stealing of krynn" - Dark Sun has an ancient apocalypse...

While most articles are still top notch, I find that the site is drowning in video content I don't really like, it's noisome and full of uninteresting news and the forums have deteriorated...but maybe it's just me being a grognard, or disliking the fact that having over 4 million visitors means...

Shamus, you ARE aware that Bioware did a Sonic RPG, right?

I agree with Kwil and the others who see a reason to be concerned. The thing is, can we do anything about it? I don't see a way to avoid this. How will we adapt? Will witness accounts be once again the only reliable evidence in courts? Will everyone just believe or disbelieve news reports...

Great PDF! It brings back memories of the first year...*sniff*. Seriously, though- Can we get all of the issues in PDF? Even not prettied-up like this, as it's a lot of work for you guys? I'm currently five issues beghind on the articles as my rime to read occurs wheere I don't have internet...

goodbye, HotU...

A Very good article that made me stop and think, as a father-to-be. Nearly all of my friends have young children and they all like to interact with the computer/cellphone/console/whatever whenever possible. Young parents should check out the Comfy Easy PC.

Yes, Yes, I'm aware it's not nearly the worst the `net can offer. Still, I am of the opinion that this is not the type of content I like to see in the Escapist. I might be alone on this, but I wanted it said. By the way, the pixelated boobs have nothing to do with this, as they are there to...

I'm surprised and somewhat saddened to see this kind of content in The Escapist.

Is this news worthy? Really?

Airhead, don't get me started on Rock Band. My dad bought me an NTSC-J Xbox 360 in Hong Kong (instead of PAL), and I bought the RB bundle in a recent visit to the US. The thing is, he bought the console with two games- LEGO Indiana Jones and Grid, which the boxes stated they were PAL. In fact...

An excellent article that raises some interesting questions. Especially the latter half.

If I remember my Chemistry right, Susan, Carbon-Dioxide (CO2) is actually HEAVIER than air and thus trikles DOWN, rather than up. It'll still make you choke in zero-G, though.

I suggest The Australians do what I do: go play PC games- no conversion needed, job done. I did just buy a 360 for Rock Band, though... and I'm going to buy RB in the US next time I'm there because it costs the equivalent of 400$ here in Israel.

While I've never visited GWJ, this article intrigued me enough to do so (it will be the next stop on my browser). What Sean said is resonating with me all the more because I, too, am a gamer-with-a-job. I can (sort of) pride myself on being even worse off the GWJ, as I'm half of a team that...
