    Horror aficionados... GIVE ME YOUR KNOWLEDGE

    I'm currently writing a university essay on the appeal of horror fiction as a medium in general, with a side note on the appeals of specific mediums (Books, film and games) and levels of quality (Pulp versus 'intellectual') I'd welcome anyone's opinions on all that, but what I'm looking for...

    The Item to your immediate right

    Some air freshner? Does that work on zombies? Maybe a mobile phone?

    The recent Hacks- EVE, Minecraft...and the Escapist.

    Also they actually helped the NHS and some security companies. That was pretty cool of them.

    The recent Hacks- EVE, Minecraft...and the Escapist.

    I inadvertantly logged onto twitter in the middle of all this, and watched the sites go down on Lulzsec's tweets. Apparently the escapist community were pretty hostile to Lulzsec. Personally, I liked them while they were still attacking companies who quout/unquote 'deserved' it. The Escapist and...

    Cheerleader must compensate school that told her to clap 'rapist'

    A victory for Texan rapists everywhere. Someone should probably check the backgrounds of the Judge and jury on that case. Maybe their basements, and any hidden chambers beneath their houses. Just sayin.

    Apple Sued for Invading Privacy by Tracking iPhone Movements

    Yeah, I found this thing maybe just a tiny bit creepy. Although there are two things in my favour: A)My Iphone's so bashed that I doubt the GPS even works any more B)I have a relatively quiet life in rural England. They know my dog walk routes, that I occasionally travel into bigger towns for...

    Question for all High School Students?

    I'm at what I guess is the English equivalent, full boarding. They don't block Youtube and Facebook is blocked at times that actually kind of help you be more productive, so I don't really have a problem with that. Not sure they know the Escapist exists

    Poll: So... Anyone else think that the Doctor is just taking the proverbial now?

    I like fun. Just not such a big fan of tacky, repetetive or daft. For the first couple of seasons I loved Doctor Who. It's just getting a bit repetetive. I wish they'd mix it up a little.

    Ooops, sorry. Guess I checked everything except which category I put it into :(.

    Things that were once great, but just need to die now.

    Well, Halo. Sadly, we must let her go. Maybe the Simpsons.

    Poll: So... Anyone else think that the Doctor is just taking the proverbial now?

    Doctor Who. You can't really hate it, but I am just wondering whether anyone else thinks that they've started taking the piss. Seriously, I've stopped watching it but the last few times I've switched onto it I've seen: 1. A flying shark, a cliched 'christmas carol' plot, paper-thin characters...

    Limits in Science-Fiction.

    Well, we can't accurately predict the future, so real life could throw an SF-writer a curveball any time. Also no matter how smart or imaginative you are, nobody can think all the way outside the box. Nobody knows everything that's possible. We do know that it may well make more sense...

    Poll: Sex or Escapist

    Has anyone actually made this decision for real? Possible sex could count, I guess. I've done that one. Can't remember what I chose, but I guess it was the right choice.
