    I'm going to miss you people when the Escapist shuts down.

    I've been on and off for years now. For the last couple I've still been checking in in the vain hope for a resurgence of the gaming news that originally drew me in here and maybe a little of the discussions I would dip my toes in. I load the home page and dejectedly watch the new Zero...

    Drinking Games of Video Games?

    Mario Kart DUI: Play literally any Mario Kart game. You have to finish your drink before finishing that race but you can only drink when you're not moving in the game. It's interesting to see the different strategies. Some people will nurse and make constant progress or I'll chug at the...

    Games you think are overrated

    I apparently just don't get Half-Life. I've played through both 1 and 2 (all three parts) and I don't feel that they're bad games by any means but besides an interesting plot they don't really stand out to me in any way.

    Bosses that you JUST. CAN'T. BEAT.

    God damn Fire Leo from Viewtiful Joe.

    That one game you just keep going back to

    Jet Set Radio Future on and off for about the past 11 years now. I've always loved it considering it was one of the first games I had after I got super into gaming after my Crash Bandicoot dirty casual youngster days. The nostalgia definitely is the leading factor for why I keep coming back on a...

    Biggest Difficulty Spike You Have Ever Experienced

    Every Dr. Wily stage in the Megaman classic series. Don't get me wrong, it's not as though Megaman classic games are at all easy before the last levels but they really bring it home once you've beaten the robot masters.

    The Next Elder Scrolls Game, what should it have

    It should definitely be in Elsweyr, Black Marsh, Valenwood or the Summerset Isles if it has to be in Tamriel at all anymore. Just no more human race lands for a while. Skyrim and Cyrodiil were painfully boring to explore (they were basically the New England region of the US) whereas the old but...

    Need a good venting game. Suggestions?

    It's always nice to see Platinum Studios getting some love and Vanquish especially is easily their most overlooked gem. All of their games (Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising, Madworld, Anarchy Reigns) are fun as hell beat-em-ups that make you feel awesome and the soundtracks are consistently among...

    Fable Anniversary Review - Slack of Blades

    The first Fable had the most ambition of the series I feel and although it was by no means a great game, in any technical sense, that ambition and clear joy of the developers in making the game translated to a fun experience. However as the series went on, I felt Lionhead kept straying from...

    Poll: When do you shower?

    I rely on my morning shower to actually wake me up.

    A hypothetical question, especially for the atheists and skeptics in the audience...

    As a devout Agnostic, I'll pour over this discussion,absorb any pertinent information and finally formulate a reasonable conclusion about my faith, one way or the other...nope, still nothing.

    Poll: Poll: Should Mass Effect end?

    I'm hoping for an LA Noir-esque detective game starring Garrus.

    What game from this past generation did you have the most fun playing?

    Single Player: Believe it or not, Brutal Legend. It's not even close to the best game I played for the generation but it's very likely to be the most fun game I played. Sure, there's tons of things wrong with it but it doesn't change the fact that in the almost 3 playthroughs of the game I've...

    What am I?

    When the dog wakes up we're all going to disappear anyway. But seriously, the way I see it is that you are you and none of that other crap matters. Maybe we don't know what 80% of the universe is, we probably never will. But it doesn't make a lick of difference. Even if we know the meaning of...
