    Is Team Fortress 2 still good?

    I have almost 4k hours in it and I play it competetively. So, yeah, it's good. 2015 has seen two well-needed weapon rebalancing patches on top of new maps and making the steps toward ranked matchmaking. The only issues I have with TF2 is performance, the game gets seemingly more and more...

    Poll: MythBusters: 23/01/2003 - 11/11/2015

    They've been fizzling out since before the Build Team left. I'd still have conversations about people like "Did you see the myth where they did this?" And we'd talk all about the shit involved. I feel like it was just one those shows that everybody watched and enjoyed, from all ages, because it...

    OK, let's choose our GOTY and our biggest disappointment of 2015

    The main games I've been playing this year were Binding of Isaac, Nuclear Throne, Team Fortress 2, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, a bit of Terraria 1.3, and right now Fallout 4. Only three of the games were released in 2015. GOTY: Fallout 4 because I'm a gigantic shill. Disappointment...

    Poll: The F4 Survey | So is Fallout 4 looking like a great title? | Part 1 of 2

    I feel like comparing 4 to 3 and NV is like comparing Bioshock Infinite to Bioshock 1 & 2. Yeah they have the same core mechanics, but they changed so much stuff that defined the previous installments, and that doesn't make it a bad game. A bad Fallout/Bioshock game, though? That's something...

    Unpopular movie tastes

    I thought Gravity was one of the best movies I've ever seen. I liked the movie only having two actors. I like that they killed Clooney's character fast. I liked how they killed the other minor astronauts in the beginning. I loved the attention to detail, the interactions with zero gravity...

    Should I get Killing Floor 1 or 2?

    I'm going to say KF1 is currently better, but KF2 is worth it. Killing Floor 1 currently has more content (maps, guns, perks, DLC), its gameplay is fairly polished, it runs on worse rigs, and it's cheaper. It invariably goes on sale for dirt cheap during Halloween (AKA less than three weeks...

    What are you listening to Escapists? (September 2015 Edition)

    I like it. Feels like one of the few horn concertos that takes advantages of the low range.

    Favorite bizarre music

    There are a lot of composers who were about breaking down the definition of music. I'm so separated from that era of music that I can't recall composers off the top of my head to show them. Some of the "avant-garde" composers have strange compositions, music that you can't listen to because it...

    Wireless keyboards and mice - Do you use them?

    Oh boy, I can't wait to use battery-powered mouse and keyboard when they're literally never more than 2 feet away from a powered USB port! They're about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

    Has anyone else spent enough money on certain games, that you're actually embarrassed to admit it ?

    I spent over $100 for my Sniper unusual in TF2. But it's sort of my dream hat that I will never trade away, so I thought it was worth it. Before that I had a cancer unusual that cost $15. Also spent like $60 on a Strange Festive Sniper Rifle. I already had a Strange Sniper Rifle that was...

    Why Do I Still Suck at CoD?

    I had that problem a lot in TF2. Still do, to an extent. Whenever I would fire at a target, I tended to "jiggle" my crosshair a bit, kind of anticipating them to move erratically, or just trying to get a flickshot and hoping on insticts to make the headshot happen because it's hard to track a...

    Why Do I Still Suck at CoD?

    Yeah pure aim can get you out of like 70% of any hairy situation you get in, but gamesense is tied into your survival more than having impossibly good aim. Knowing which fights to take, when you should leg it, how to effectively use your equipment, where you can play off the openings your team...

    What are you listening to Escapists? (August 2015 Edition)

    Yeah it's pretty good. I love that time period in music and I like violin concertos.

    Battlefield Hardline is possibly the best FPS game of 2015.

    I was nearly level 140 in BF4 before I stopped playing (roughly 250ish hours), and I uninstalled Hardline maybe two days after getting it. I like FPSs a lot because I like shooting dudes and admiring guns and reloading endlessly. All my top-played games are FPSs, I did a season of comp TF2...

    Anyone feel like forum activity really slowed down?

    A lot of what barthelon said. The forums weren't hustle and bustle, but they flowed and usually a thread had around two hours before it got moved to the second page by the rapid amount of new threads and posts being slung out. There were a lot of generally dumb, pointless, but fun to interact...
