    The Escapist Presents: Guild Wars 2 Video Head Start

    I didn't play the first GW, but since City of Heroes is getting the axe, I might as well find another time sink. ;n;

    Oh my god, it's...! (Voice Acting)

    Amon's lieutenant in The Legend of Korra is also Admiral Hackett of the Alliance. I flipped my shit.

    Launch-Day DLC Found on Risen 2 Game Disc

    What pains me is that this model is still around, which means it's proving to be successful in the industry. SOMEONE is still paying for day-one/on-disc dlc. A lot of someones. This won't go away until this kind of thing stops being successful. Edit: Although in the case of on-disc, you...

    Games Not Worth Playing

    Vampire Rain. If I hated someone so much that I would want to kill them, I would rethink homicide, and instead gift them this game. There's just... so much badness. And not the good kind of bad, either.

    My Game Just Screwed Me Over

    My experience was with Halo 3. Can't remember which level, but I hit a checkpoint while driving off of a cliff. Other than that, an almost-screwed-me-over time was with Dark Souls, when I was cursed twice and had to get out of the area without getting hit.

    Let's just assume that the next-gen console rumours are true...

    Doesn't our own escapist crack the occasional joke? And I wouldn't necessarily agree with the licensed bit. You could give out special copies, but if those get stolen? Suddenly someone has a copy that can be... copied. To make more copies. Urk. :/ Even if that's not a problem, the company...

    Poll: Do you talk to yourself when you play games?

    When I play Dark Souls, sometimes there's, "SHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITOHGODNO". And then I lay down on the floor and think about my life for the next 3 minutes.

    Let's just assume that the next-gen console rumours are true...

    Imma just leave this here. http://kotaku.com/5896996/the-next-playstation-is-called-orbis-sources-say-here-are-the-details Anyway, if you couldn't use secondhand games, wouldn't that kill game rentals? They are, by nature, used by multiple people aren't they? In any case, whichever...

    Poll: Who do you want in the next Smash Bros on the Wii U?

    There would be so many miniature giant space hamsters in their final smash. OT: I would also like to see a member of the Golden Sun games in Smash Brothers, though I would also be happy with Soren from Fire Emblem. :D

    Worst Load Times

    There was a Sonic game for the 360. Terrible game aside, loading times. Loading times everywhere.

    Video Game Name Generator Game

    Neon Blood in the Magic Kingdom WOAH. I'm thinking LSD: Dream Emulator, Neon Genesis Evangelion crossover. I must play this. EDIT: Heroic Sudoku Beatdown. I have no words.

    PC Gaming Continues to Grow

    You're right, you didn't. I mentioned it because it was relevant. There are lots of different PC builds, and lots of issues when developing for PC because of different builds. This translates to issues that the consumer has to deal with. Go to the Steam forums. Pick a game. There's always...

    PC Gaming Continues to Grow

    Then why is it that developers are always talking about the ease of development on a console over a PC? It's harder to develop games for different builds. You can't tell me that you've never had a game that either took a long time to get working in a stable condition, or one that you just gave...

    PC Gaming Continues to Grow

    Yeah, that's probably part of it. Not to mention that at first glance, consoles just have that "ease of use" feeling, and getting a PC to run a game can be daunting, especially to people who aren't used to messing with stuff. And that's before, "Wait, I can hook it up to the tv?" F, man...

    PC Gaming Continues to Grow

    Indeed. Now all we have to do is inform the masses, and we can eliminate the inferior console races once and for all! *Insert evil laughter here.*
