    Yahtzee's Dev Diary game 1, Preflight Panic

    I agree! That would have been cool! :P In my defence, I've never created a thread on here before and I was afraid of being mistaken for a spammer or something, though since I'm linking to the Escapist, I guess they should be okay with it. :) Anyway, you can download the game here...

    Yahtzee's Dev Diary game 1, Preflight Panic

    I can't seem to find a thread anywhere about Yahtzee's newest games that he's making for his "Dev Diary," project so I thought I'd start one here. :) I've been playing the first one, Preflight Panic for the last couple of days and it's a fun little game and surprisingly challenging! (At...

    Escape to the Movies: Everly - Salma Hayek Kicks All Of The Ass

    This movie looks seriously awesome! :D I can't find showtimes listed for it anywhere, though. :| I hope that means it just hasn't come out yet around where I live, 'cause I'd love to see it! :)

    Escape to the Movies: Lucy - It's Almost a Black Widow Movie

    I saw the movie yesterday on MovieBob's recommendation. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise, but the idea of Scarlet Johansen kicking ass and hurling dudes around with telekinesis appealed to me enough to overcome any concerns about technical accuracy. (Telekinesis has always been my favourite...

    Escape to the Movies: Gravity

    I saw the movie last night and loved it! :) Speaking as someone who's afraid of heights, the whole thing gave me the heebie jeebies and was filled with gut-wrenching suspense. That article makes for an interesting and educational read, but I don't see how they could have included all of...

    Escape to the Movies: Elysium

    I saw it last night. Over all, it was okay; not great, but still worth a look. (I thought District 9 was similarly okay, so take that how you will) I liked that everyone in the film had clear motivations for their actions and that they changed believably during the course of the film. (I...

    Escape to the Movies: The Wolverine

    I watched the movie tonight. Moviebob's assessment is pretty accurate; it isn't terrific, but it's still entertaining enough to be considered "good enough." Also, I spent the movie being pretty consistently bewildered by various characters' motivations. In fact, looking back, I still can't...

    Escape to the Movies: Pacific Rim

    First off, I want to say that I saw this movie last week and my face still hurts from facepalming at the scene where... That was the one moment that took me right out of the movie for the sheer stupidity. Other than that, it was a lot of fun, as long as you can look past the ridiculous...

    Escape to the Movies: Red 2

    I find it kind of funny that there are almost no posts about RED 2 in the RED 2 thread. :) Well, I'm gonna post on-topic, dammit! :P A while back, I saw the first RED movie [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/6.238869-Escape-to-the-Movies-Red?page=5#8637968] on Moviebob's...

    The Big Picture: Boy's Own Adventure

    I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this video, from Moviebob's take on superhero gender roles to his ridicule of people's reasons for objecting to Shezow. Kudos! :) I was not familiar with the show before this, but it's made me curious to check it out.

    Escape to the Movies: Star Trek: Into Darkness

    The spoiler that Bob mentions will mean nothing to anyone who isn't familiar with Star Trek lore and people who are familiar with it will see it coming anyway. (At least I did) Either way, you probably aren't missing much by seeing the spoiler and he doesn't mention it until halfway through...

    Escape to the Movies: Star Trek: Into Darkness

    Bob makes a lot of good points in describing the flaws in this movie. The funny thing is... I still prefer this one over the one that came before it. The pacing issues weren't as bad, the setpieces weren't quite as blatantly shoehorned in, (for the most part) the actions scenes were pretty...

    Escape to the Movies: Les Miserables

    Haha, glad you enjoyed it. :) And good luck with your phone; touchscreen keyboards give me trouble too. :P

    Escape to the Movies: Les Miserables

    Bob's central complaint here seems to be that combining the abstractness of a musical with the realism of the scenery "just doesn't work." Well, I recognize that this is a matter of opinion, but I saw the movie the other day and I thought it worked fine. I think it's just a matter of going...

    The Big Picture: The Big Spoiler: Iron Man 3

    I went into the movie knowing nothing about the comics, so I didn't know the Mandarin was supposed to be such a big deal. Maybe if I had known more about his original character, the twist would have bothered me, but as it was, I loved the twist! :) When the movie started and the Mandarin...
