    The Worst Big Youtubers

    Thank you SO MUCH for mentioning Razorfist! I agree; his reviews mostly consist of the most trivial complaints imaginable blown out of proportion (Catherine's animation style, something about banking in Ace Combat: AH) or him comparing a game to another one (Dishonored sucks because it's not...

    Poll: What's your take on "Classic English Literature?"

    Cool! It's ok that you didn't like LotR and Hucklebery Finn, btw; I found those to be snore-worthy as well.

    Poll: What's your take on "Classic English Literature?"

    Good point. I usually enjoy texts more when I read them for pleasure rather than for academic means. I remember hating Lord of the Flies back in high school, probably just because I was forced into it.

    Poll: What's your take on "Classic English Literature?"

    Well, classic is a subjective term, and some lists will differ from others. Also, some are not necessarily old. In any case, here are some of my examples... - Brave New World - Rime of the Ancient Mariner - anything by James Joyce - The Horse Dealer's Daughter - Catcher in the Rye -...

    Poll: What's your take on "Classic English Literature?"

    Hey all, I'm taking several literature courses at my university (specifically English Literature courses), as I'm looking to get into writing. It's not surprising that I soon realized many of the texts we read and study are more or less "alien" in today's society. Sure, my professors and...

    Hey Canadian Escapists, is it all it's cracked up to be?

    To be honest, I don't find it drastically different from the US. The people might be a bit nicer here, though it depends on the area; Oakville (Ontario) is really polite, but there are some parts of London (also Ontario) where you'd rather not hang. There's also the health-care to consider...

    Trailers: Duke Nukem Forever - The Doctor That Cloned Me - Trailer

    I've heard it's actually better than the main game. (which I didn't hate TBH, so maybe I'll check this out) This gives me good faith in Gearbox. I'm sure the next Duke will be an improvement, considering the errr... less awesome 3D Realms.

    I'm guessing Sonic Generations counts? If so, that.

    Do you still watch Zero Punctuation every week?

    Just a second, I'm trying to understand what the hell you wrote. Nope, still don't understand it. Good effort, though.

    Do you still watch Zero Punctuation every week?

    Exactly what I was thinking (regarding being wrong some times). I have some examples myself: - The Darkness Demo: He got stuck at the gate, not knowing what to do. Not really realizing that when the level starts, there's a man in front of you that tells you how to open the gate. (shoot the...

    Do you still watch Zero Punctuation every week?

    Yep, every Wednesday I watch it. Though at the same time, I've been getting disappointed with his more recent episodes. /entering-minor-rant-mode His jokes just aren't quite as funny anymore. I used to legitimately LOL in his earlier episodes (and still do when re-watching them), but his...

    Worst Games of the year

    I actually didn't hate Duke Nukem Forever, though I was dissapointed in it. Then again, all of the early 2011 shooters disappointed me. (Crysis 2, Brink, KZ3, Bulletstorm, Red Faction: Armageddon, etc.) The worst game of 2011 for me is... Mindjack. OH GOD, MINDJACK! Trust me, Yahtzee was...

    Which game/sequel are you most disappointed never happened?

    A sequel to Prince of Persia 2008. Too bad endless fan bitching resulted in Ubisoft dropping it and instead making Forgotten Sands, a game that even less people liked. Go fans!

    Poll: Minimum page count for school work.

    I think the word count should be completely abolished. As long as the essay covers what it needs to and follows common sense, then it should automatically be of a reasonable length. A word count does nothing aside from forcing the writer to add fluff, effectively making the essay worse.

    Why Jim Sterling's Mario Kart 7 review is bullshit.

    You guys do know he gave the latest Dynasty warriors a 6/10 for being too similar to other entries? Also, he didn't just comment on lack of innovation. He also said the game was slow, had problems with rubber-banding, unbalanced, relied too much on luck, etc. I think those are very fair...
