    Humans: Are we evil?

    Here's my view on humanity in a paragraph, or two. I don't know I haven't started writing yet. So basically, I believe, that we are all born with an innate nature to do certain actions. These impulses are very broad and general, like say wasting time, being lazy, hunting, learning, etc. These...

    Your blood is now a different colour...

    My blood is black. It allows me to literally merge with shadows, able to bring things with me and/or leave things in them. Until they eventually cling to me, forever trapping me in them. . . . . . . . . . . Oh, I guess I'll be a good guy. Or a bad guy. You know, whatever comes...

    Poll: Is Yahtzee serious?

    He's probably semi-serious. He accentuates the negative aspects, so he probably doesn't think all the games are horrible. HOWEVER after playing game after game after game after etc. He's probably gotten to the point where he's like a film critic, able to spot the most bland and uninteresting...

    Slavery: The Game "Become The Most Powerful Slavetrader"

    The only reasonable reason i can see someone making this game is to show people how heartless and depraved they actually had to be in order to make a fortune off of selling people.

    Small games names.

    I've been looking around the internet for a while, and just this one thing has been bothering me. There's no official title for those small games. I know this may be comparing video games to other media, but every other one does have a specific name for their lighter material (i.e. For books...

    Poll: Is hate our natural answer to the unknown?

    Nope, i believe it's a conditioned response from us in order to preserve the order that we know. If we were exposed to constant differences as a child, seeing someone different from us seems less scary. So i believe that the hatred is seen moreso as a reaction towards something that people deem...

    Full year of Extra Credits.

    Last year Extra Credits started its run on the Escapist, and shortly after it did i saw and commented on a short thread that asked people what they thought about it. It has now been one full year (at least it will be tomorrow) and i decided to build another thread devoted to what people think of...

    Scariest or Most Disturbing Nightmare You've Had

    Keep in mind i was going on a South Park binge at the time to watch every episode. It was late at night and Cartman, whom for some reason i "saw" as me. He looked the same and everything, but i had this feeling it was me. Thing is he was just lying in my mom's bed (oh by the way all the...

    Give a Dramatic Portrayal of a Retro Videogame

    Obligatory Mario/Donkey Kong: I couldn't run anymore. It was constant, an endless stream of wooden death. Barrels the size of a man kept rolling on and on and on. I gripped the broken ladder, with every ounce of stregth i had...and then, i fell. Leaping over each barrel, narrowly avoiding...

    How do you define reality? How do you define insanity?

    I've been feeling philosophical lately, and after a with the recent onslaught of arkham city updates i've begun to wonder. How do you define insanity? and conversely How do you define reality? Considering all i can really think of is how things are percieved, I have my own ideas. But i decided...

    Poll: Flamethrowers...

    The thing with flamethrowers is, despite how awesome they look, they damage the area more than the combatant. Spreading fire might seem good, but it leaves the land barren, and depending on the terrain that is being fought on it might even hamper your side as well. Using flamethrowers seems like...

    Poll: Equality vs Freedom

    Actually i've looked over the most famous "communistic" governments in history, and they have more in common with fascism. That being said i actuall would vote for freedom as well.
