    Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto Online

    Actually the first person mode isn't new, it was first introduced in the PS4 and XBone versions. The new feature in the PC version is that if you press 'B' you can point to things!!! You can even do an impromptu high-five by touching tips.

    Microsoft Names Internet Explorer Legacy Browser

    Is there really any way to 'reasonably' price an operating system? Besides, I think we all know that whatever 'reasonable' price they start at will just be temporary, changed the moment that most people stop complaining and become more comfortable with paying for an operating system, then...

    Why Do People Think "The Internet" and Other People Are Two Different Groups?

    Because hundreds of millions of people on the world speak English, and there are ~7 billion people in the world all together. 2170 anonymous accounts upvoting it on Urban Dictionary really doesn't make it official, neither does it showing up at the top on a quick Google search.

    Why Do People Think "The Internet" and Other People Are Two Different Groups?

    What do gay couples who tell people to go kill themselves have to do with anything? That has notthing to do with social justice or even being gay, it's just somebody being rude. I have, however, encountered many individuals, gay, straight, and bi, who advocate for social justice initiatives...

    Why Do People Think "The Internet" and Other People Are Two Different Groups?

    It depends on how you define social justice warriors. The wording of the term implies that it is people who are in support of, or act towards (Fight for), social justice initiatives, in which case the numbers would be very high. There are various social justice events that take place every...

    Why Do People Think "The Internet" and Other People Are Two Different Groups?

    It is a social-justice issue. Just because some people get overly upset by relatively small things doesn't mean that social justice in general is harmed. And, just as a side-note, I disagree wholeheartedly with you using 'keyboard warriors' as a demeaning term. Just because somebody complains...

    Why Do People Think "The Internet" and Other People Are Two Different Groups?

    I'm sorry, but that is just one great big load of bullocks. I can tell you, from observation and first hand experience, that the people who support and are vocal social justice initiatives on the internet do carry that into real life. A same-sex couple that wants to get married doesn't...

    What would a medieval person think of us?

    iDunno, I think they'd be pretty terrified that they didn't wake up in their own home, with their own family, and are now instead in some completely strange and unfamiliar place. They may be from 1015, but I'm pretty sure getting abducted was always a pretty sucky thing.

    Zero Punctuation: Grim Fandango - Does It Hold Up?

    In this case it kind of does. I get the sentiment from a lot of people myself, and I admit I carry it as well, that Yhatzee is the only reason they visit the Escapist for videos. I still read Critical Miss and Experienced Points, but those are take-it-or-leave-it for me. Without Yhatzee I...

    Favorite Movie/Tv Show/Game fight scene

    Kill Bill Volume 1: The Bride vs O-Ren Ishii. Short, sweet, simple, and to the point The Bride comes in, there's some bad-ass banter between the two, and the fight begins. No giant kicks, or flips, or any of that, just a tense fight between two expert sword-fighters. Throughout the fight...

    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    I understand that, but I'm not just going to keep coming to this site every day just to click around and view ads. I come here for the content, and losing so much content means losing a large reason why I still visit the site. Granted, there are still other things that I come here for...

    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    I used to come to this site for so much stuff, now so much of what I liked it going away. Extra Credits left a few years ago, Top Five With Lisa Foiles came and went. Now Jim and Bob leave pretty much right after each other; Jim was the only reason I came to the site on Mondays, and his...

    So Just How Much DLC Does Evolve Have at Launch? $100 Worth

    Multi-player only isn't the problem, the problem is when a multi-player only game, especially one with such a lack of base content (Coming from my experience playing the betas), prices itself as a full game. Like somebody said earlier in the thread, even Call of Duty has an, albeit, short (~10...

    Four Year Old Calgary Girl's Scribbles Praised By Some Critics As High Art

    Oh I get that - it's great that they're raising money for charities, and I mean no disrespect to the girl in question. My frustration is towards the 'professional' 'art' 'critics' who praise and hold these up as the epitome of artistic achievement. My frustration is towards the publicly funded...
