    Your Fun Break

    Thanks man and whoever the mod was. I was using youtubestuff/youtube instead of youtube=stuff because forums. Now I don't know whether or not to be depressed that all of the conversation on this thread was about embedding a youtube video.

    Your Fun Break

    I've been having a bit of a bad day, so I know exactly where to go for a few minutes (or hours). When stuff on the forums are getting you down, stupid stuff is going down in the world, or you read one too many youtube comments, where do you guys go for your quick pick me ups? Edit...

    8 Video Games Everyone Needs To Play

    ' What he said about GTA 3 and RDR, and extend that to Fallout 3 and Skyrim. ^^^ What he said about Nintendo. ^^^ Alright, here we go... Fallout 3 and Skyrim are nice games, but in a list that includes things as old as DOOM, having them up there instead of their predecessors is...

    The Gamecube Adapter

    The single 3rd party adapters aren't adequate. They emulate pro controllers and have significant input lag. The problem is the official one can't be found anywhere.

    The Gamecube Adapter

    What happened? Seriously. Look at this. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC0.A0.H0.Xwii+u+gamecube+adapter&_nkw=wii+u+gamecube+adapter&_sacat=0...

    The Future of War and Conflict

    I've been thinking about this a bit recently, and the Escapist is the only place I really go to for intellectual conversations, so here goes. Is war, as we knew it, over? I don't want to say all war, as there will still be insurgencies and civil wars in less than stable states, but are the...

    Harassment and Hostility in Fighting Games

    I do feel like it has gotten better in the core FGC, but not in Smash. An argument over Brawl and Project M broke out when I was waiting in line for registration at Apex 2014. You couldn't go much of anywhere in the main part of the hotel without hearing someone complaining about another game.

    Harassment and Hostility in Fighting Games

    So Alex Strife, the head of Apex, left Project M out of his tournament this year, and receieved death and rape threats from it. http://www.dailydot.com/esports/apex-lugo-smash-bros/ This is something we've been dealing with in games for a while now, but there's something different about this...

    Nintendo Plans To Create More Spin-Off Titles Between Main Releases

    What I heard is... I'm too jaded to see the evidence that Nintendo makes actual quality DLC on par with the old expansion packs from the 90's.

    Farcry 4 and Assassin's Creed Unity missing from Steam?

    I do want to apologize for this. Nothing has been of subjectively middling quality (like glitches and crashes). They definitely don't have that spark, to me, that other games have. In fact, a lot of games outside of Nintendo consoles haven't really had that spark for me, but that's a different...

    Farcry 4 and Assassin's Creed Unity missing from Steam?

    Part of the problem is only more dedicated gamers tend to know this stuff, and Ubisoft's games are of such middling quality that a lot of dedicated gamers would pass on their games regardless.

    Farcry 4 and Assassin's Creed Unity missing from Steam?

    Oh, they business. It's just they business like it's 2006. They want everything and are ignoring the doom coming their way.

    Farcry 4 and Assassin's Creed Unity missing from Steam?

    Does anyone know what's going to happen to the people who preordered on Steam?

    Question about Ratchet And Clank games

    I would wait and play the originals first. They have made a lot of progress in gameplay, and going from Future to the first game, it will almost feel unplayable.
