    So... What are you doing for Valentine's Day?

    I'll be hanging out with my boyfriend. I'm not sure what we'll be doing, but we might have to watch Drive again (it's kind of our special movie, since it was the first movie we ever saw together). I guess I'll also have to make it a point to give that Minecraft spider plushie my boyfriend bought...

    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    Huh. Now it looks like Yahtzee is just about the only reason I have to keep coming back to the Escapist. This site has just been getting worse and worse this last year, between all the content creators I follow migrating to greener pastures and the forums turning more toxic. This all makes me...

    Will You Press the Button?

    "You have a box full of the cutest puppies you can imagine. They never get older, never get sick and never die." But... "You can never have kids. No adoption. No surrogates. You will never have any children." Eh, I doubt I'll ever have kids anyway, so... Gimme those puppies!

    A Plethora of Content Producers Leave Channel Awesome

    Oancitizen posted a thing: http://kylekallgren.tumblr.com/post/108118690279/a-farewell-to-awesome No personal drama in this case, it seems. And, like in the other recent cases, he's still going to continue producing content, just not for Channel Awesome.

    Lindsay Ellis (Nostalgia Chick) to Leave Channel Awesome

    He has a Tumblr: http://kylekallgren.tumblr.com/ He doesn't seem to have posted anything about why he left yet, but I imagine he will eventually.

    Lindsay Ellis (Nostalgia Chick) to Leave Channel Awesome

    Well, that's a bit of a shame; she was one of my favourite contributors there. But I suppose it's good to know that, even if she's leaving Channel Awesome and the Nostalgia Chick label behind, she won't stop making video content completely. I'll just have to keep an even closer eye on Chez...

    What's Your Current Desktop Background?

    I recently acquired a copy of Pokemon Y, so... It's almost like it's my favourite legendary or something. Before that, I had a Fallen London background, and before that it was, ah... Fluttershy from My Little Pony cuddling with one of the cutesified vampire fruit bats from the "Bats!"...

    What was the worst game that you pre-ordered?

    Well, I've only ever pre-ordered three games (Dead Space 2, Portal 2, and Saints Row The Third), and I enjoyed all of them, so calling any of them the "worst" would be somewhat inaccurate. But I suppose of the three, Saints Row was the least amazing, and because of that game's awful DLC...

    Video game characters that make you smile

    We'll be here all day if I try to list all the delightful characters from Fallout: New Vegas or the various Valve games, so I'll choose something a little more obscure; Dietrich the punk rock shaman from Shadowrun: Dragonfall. The moment this exchange took place... I knew exactly who my...

    Poll: What do you usually do while listening to music?

    Oh, plenty of things. Mostly I'll listen to music while playing building games (like Terraria and Minecraft), but also while browsing the internet or writing. Occasionally I might just put Pandora on and kick back on the couch to relax, sometimes with a book.

    How many anime characters can you recognize?

    I was able to name all of them except #4 and #9, and even those still looked familiar to me. I've seen an episode or two of #4, so I still knew the series even if I couldn't name the character (I also know that the head writer of #4 was the head-of-story on Digimon Tamers, which is the main...

    Poll: Portal Vs Portal 2

    I absolutely love them both, but I like Portal 2 just a bit more. Portal 2 may arguably have more flaws than the first one (in that it actually has some flaws), but that's to be expected when you increase the size and scope of something so dramatically; it added way more crazy-awesome wonderful...

    Poll: Could you wear the same outfit every day?

    I basically already do. Every day I where the same kind of top (a graphic t-shirt over a thermal shirt) and the same kind of pants (cargo pants), along with the same exact coat and hat. And I'm one of those slobs that don't exactly bath every single day, so quite often I am literally wearing the...

    Smart Let's Players?

    Some of the Spoiler Warning [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDDVe86ov90uXCZSmEKgbjw] people are actual game critics (Shamus Young from the Experienced Points column here on The Escapist is one of them), so the commentary does tend to involve a lot of intelligent critique. They don't generally...

    I want to play a game about a female crimelord or career criminal.

    Well, if you don't mind a text-based browser game, then you can totally roleplay as a female career criminal in Fallen London [http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/]. Just focus on the Shadowy and Dangerous qualities; build up your connections with criminals, devils (by which I mean literal...
