    OK Scientists now about that cure for Cancer

    Not only that, but there are hundreds of different sub-types of each type of cancer (skin, lung, pancreatic, etc.), and each one reacts differently to chemo, radiation, and other drugs and hormones. Right now, there are some very good treatments for cancer, that can almost eliminate all...

    RPGs and MMORPGs

    If you like grinding, I recommend Sacred 2: Fallen Angel.

    Poll: How (formally) educated is the escapist anyway?

    I am working on my Masters in Micro and Molecular biology. I have about a year left. My BS is in Microbiology. After working for a few years, I hope to go back and get my PhD in either virology or immunology.

    Poll: How old are you?

    I am not suprised at the age demographics on this site. Although, it makes me sad to hear people complain about turning 20. I thought my early 20's were the best time of my life!

    BioWare Refuses to Deny PS3 Mass Effect

    I hope that Mass Effect does get on the PS3. There is a distinct shortage of RPG games on that console (compared to the 360 or PS2). Right now, I refuse to buy a console that has no games that I want to play; in essence a glorified blu-ray player. If a few games that I want to play come out...

    Anime Review: Kyo Kara Maoh!, Season 1

    Having seen all of season 1 and 2 (they are available on DVD) I have to disagree with the "Yaoi blowout" statement. While Yuri is engaged to a guy, nothing ever comes of it. Yuri is decidedly oblivious about the other guys "attraction" to him. This is no Decendants of Darkness. Plotwise...

    The first wave of people that were accepted into the preview program were notified today; I did not get in the first wave. Major Nelson says that if you haven't recieved and email yet, you are not in the first wave. Luckily, registration is still open and there will be another wave later this...

    Is it just here, or is every school like this?

    Yep, that is college. I had food poisoning and had to make a trip up to campus to take a final (the teacher said no make ups). I was actually running to the bathroom during the exam and still the teacher wouldn't let me come back on the make-up day a week later. Teachers hear so many BS...

    Poll: Viruses...

    Viruses are not alive because they do not reproduce, they do not have any form of metabolism, and they do not have a cellular structure. I took Virology (bio major) and the fact that they are not alive was made perfectly clear.

    The Escapist Pets on Parade!

    I have a bunch of pets. 2 cats, 3 birds and a reef tank. I used to have 2 iguannas also (Tia and Cooper) but we had to adopt them out. <spoiler=Precious> <spoiler=Mia> <spoiler=Beako> <spoiler=Chester> <spoiler=Sweet Cheeks> <spoiler=The fish: Showboat, Bulldog...

    Silly Girls

    I understand why many people think that "girl games" are stupid; once you are mature enough, many things that you liked in the past are "dumb". I fail to understand why the "boy games" are not being included in this article/rant. What about all of the Lego games? Don't those qualify...

    Poll: The Female View on Males with Long Hair?

    I like either very short of very long hair on guys. I guess it wouldn't really matter as long as they take good care of it (yes, that means shampoo!) and style it so that it looks like they have that haircut on purpose. I hate it when guys are just too lazy to get a haircut and let it grow out.

    Best intro for any game ever?

    Niiice. I agree that Fallout has the best intro. Being born and growing up was a great way to get you into the character. An I loved how they did not overdo the growing up by adding numerous mini-quests when you are a baby and such.
