    Doomsday Arcade: Episode 21

    I think a cameo that would fit perfect to this show would be the Angry Video Game Nerd. I know he's not from the escapist, but it would be cool nonetheless.

    Escapist News Network: The Next Rock Band

    Well, then I thought it was more than it actually was :D By the way, you spelled the german sweet wrong. It's "süß" not "soüß". Jeah, that's pretty silly and that's the reason I buy many games in UK. But on the other hand nobody here makes a fuss about something like...

    Escapist News Network: The Next Rock Band

    I normally don't get the jokes about germany. I didn't get last weeks ODST joke and I didn't get the Doomsday Arcarde Joke "Nein, Schnitzel!". I think it's because I'm german and don't really know the preconception you americans have about us. But this time I really laughed about the wolfenstein...

    A View From the Road: What to Avoid Naming Your Aion Character

    Back in the days I played WoW I met a hunter called Dahunter. Yeah, very original. The funny thing is some times later I met a priest called Dapriest and I think it was the same Person. I prefer the name Tantalus. Its my Nickname since DukeNukem 3D. When it's not available I use Exnor. That...

    Zero Punctuation: The Second Annual E3 Hype Massacre

    This was in my opinion the funniest Zero Punctuation in a long time! Yes it didn't have any value and didn't give any insight about the games, but I just couldn't stop laughing!

    Conversation

    When you made the example with the shootout with the thugs, the first game that came to my mind was GTA IV. I think this game would really have benefited from such a system. There were 4 or 5 missions in the game where you could choose to let someone live or kill him. That was ok, but I totally...

    Your Demo Sucks

    Most of the time I know if I want a to buy a game long before the demo is out (demos tend to come late here in germany), but often strengthen my decision to buy or not to buy a game. That happend with demos like Mirrors Edge, which convinced me not to buy the game at the full price (which would...

    Doomsday Arcade: Episode Nine

    Wahhhh!! Is anybody else getting the "200, Stream not Found" error? I couldn't watch the episode this weekend, and now I still can't because of this freaking error! EDIT: OK, now it's suddenly working... I really like doomsday arcarde, but I have one question: Can you (the escapist) add...

    Games you enjoyed but shouldn't have.

    I'll go with Assasins Creed, too. Everyone said it was repetetive, but I liked knowing exactly what to do next and to go from viewpoint to viewpoint and clearing all tasks before killing the main target. The same can be said for the new Prince of Persia. I just liked the acrabatic controls and...

    de-rez: Dave Hiroshima Investigates

    I personally found this episode of de-rez very funny :) Somehow I really like de-rez even more than zero punctuation. I know, zp is much better written and executed, but I personally find Chris more likeable than Yahtzee.

    The Final Boss

    I'm definitely a "skilled" player (..uh, that sounds cocky :P ), but there is a difference between "hard" and "unfair". One of the bossfights I treasured most is the Omega Pirate in Metroid Prime. I don't know how often I were killed by him, but I never got the feeling that the figth wasn't...
