    Your reaction if we went to war with North Korea?

    The United States has the military supremacy to decimate North Korea in about a month of all out warfare. The problem is that N.K. would not have their guns pointed at us but rather at South Korea, I feel they would ignore U.S. military targets in favor of S.K. civilian targets which would be a...

    Reviewers jumping on the hype train

    I'm going to say that reviewers should, as a courtesy to their viewers/readers, disclose the rough percentage of game content they completed for review or at least their time played. That would be a way for consumers to be more informed about how much of the game the review actually applies...

    Gay Relationships

    I guess my opinion would be that if it doesn't affect me in any way, why would I care? Its their business, not mine. The fact that people care so much about what other people do in their personal lives, that literally has no effect on them personally, in my opinion, seems to be the biggest...

    Poll: Privilege

    ...What? I'm assuming by the "No" that you are disagreeing with my statement but within the bulk of your response I cant see where you actually addressed any of it. Isn't "more" just another measure of how much they have anyway? Like I said it all has to do with where you place the bar for...

    How do you feel about "inconvenient" protesting

    Anything in the last 30 years? Also is the problem as large and apparent as the civil rights movement? That's not the case here unless there were protesting for their right to block highways during a protest. I think its counterproductive when the civil disobedience overshadows the event that...

    How do you feel about "inconvenient" protesting

    There are a lists of laws about impeding traffic, unlawful assembly, disturbing the peace... on and on. I'm not going to spend the time listing all the specific statutes on a city and state level.

    How do you feel about "inconvenient" protesting

    An unlawful protest is just that unlawful. People blocking a public highway should be arrested and charged. If not, whats next, people protesting the protest blocking roads by blocking other roads in protest and them more people blocking other forms of transportation in protest of that protest's...

    Poll: Privilege

    Most of the privilege accusation I see are just stereotyping based on race, sex or sexual orientation anyway. Also by saying that strait white males are privileged we are stating that how they are treated is not the norm, that its above and beyond the norm of how all people should be treated...

    Are Men Bullying Female Gamers?

    There is so little information in your OP that I cant really see how anyone can comment on it with any useful information. We don't know your girlfriends behavior in said club. We don't know the size of the club or who is in it. We don't know specifics on what led to their desire to exclude...

    Poll: Your presence on the Escapist.

    I doubt anyone really notices me at all. I spend most of my time lurking because my job is hell and keeping up conversations with me when I'm only at my computer 2 hours a day would be rude to the other party so I usually avoid posting unless I actually have time to respond or I keep my posts to...

    When someone explicitly says "it's not a review" do you take it as one anyway?

    A "review", as far as I know, is someone looking back on something they have engaged with and giving their thoughts and opinions on it. "Non-reviews" like the mentioned TB WTF is? videos are not technically "reviews" by definition. A reviewer plays the game then writs the review, WTF is? and...

    Jimquisition: The 100% Objective Review

    This is why we cant have nice things. Rather than having those rational discussions that certain people seem to be proponents of, they instead have to delve into a mocking sarcasm that does nothing but stir the pot. Its very telling of certain people's two-faced nature and overall ignorance.

    What negative assumptions or misconceptions about gaming and gamers really grind your gears?

    Basically everything that is claimed to be linked to gamers. Gamers are just people with gaming as a hobby, nothing more nothing less. Each gamer is an individual person. Gamers aren't really anything. People are gamers. Gamers are...well gamers. Logic people. All dogs are mammals but not all...

    Jimquisition: Stupid Sexy Bayonetta

    What I gathered from this video was when a reviewer says "I really liked this game, However..." They should just cut out the however and just say "I really liked this game." So to subscribe to the Jim Sterling online etiquette format. Or are we just making rules for "others" to follow...

    Problems that men have to deal with

    Venting and support are crucial to dealing with the social pressures but part of support should be looking over possible solutions. It may be premature to enact anything but its never to early to open a dialog about possible solutions to the torment many males are facing. Venting establishes the...
