    Jimquisition: Stupid Sexy Bayonetta

    I agree 100% with Jim's stance on Bayonetta, HOWEVER his stance on never adding a caveat to a statement condemning something is absolutely unsupportable. (See what I did there? :P ) Anyway, that argument has serious problems. Going by that logic, it shouldn't be alright to say something...

    Transformers Fanboy-Free Breakdown

    You had me up until you started spouting your political philosophy the way you always like to do. Seriously, I watch your videos/read your articles because you actually seem to know a thing or two about MOVIES (and, to a lesser extent, comic books) not because I want to hear your opinions on...

    The Big Picture: Skin Deep

    I don't have time to read all these comments, so I'm sure this has already been said, but even so it deserves to be said again: An entire episode devoted to Samurai Pizza Cats? Man, that would ROCK!

    The Big Picture: Maddening

    Would it be okay to put Michael Vick on the cover of the next Pokemon game?

    Critical Miss: #2

    I like the comic so far, but the interface is really bad. There's no webcomic out there that doesn't have, at the very least, forward and back buttons. Either the Escapist needs to allow for that sort of thing, or this comic would be better off hosted somewhere else, with the escapist only...

    Three Reasons for Robin

    I don't see why not. I mean, nobody really expected them to go the places they did in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, did they? And really, it would fit the place the story is in right now. Batman is a fugitive, (not to mention one with a convenient recently dead love interest) so a...

    Video Game villains that you really sympathized with

    One that sticks out in my mind as being particularly sympathetic was Ghaleon from the Lunar games. The goddess had abandoned her duty to her children to become mortal, and all he wanted to do was provide the replacement he felt the people deserved. He had to do some fairly nasty things to make...

    2K games making X-com into an FPS

    Actually, based on that review it sounds like that game is VERY similar to the actual missions and combat in X-Com. However, it's important to point out that the missions are only a part of what makes X-Com what it is. A major part, to be sure, but not the only part by a longshot. It would be...

    Games you love despite huge flaws

    Well, I wouldn't necessarily say it "killed" the game for me, or else I wouldn't be mentioning it in a thread about games I loved despite their flaws, because disc 1 was so awesome that it's hard to completely ruin it. And even in disc 2, I guess the hours upon hours of cutscenes you have...

    Games you love despite huge flaws

    Xenogears. Easily the best JRPG ever, with 2 combat systems that were both genuinely fun, (and served to make you feel like climbing into that giant robot was really something impressive) and one of the best examples of the massive, cinematic, highly linear storyline which (love it or hate...

    Li-nux, or Ly-nux? A pronunciation debate.

    Does it speak for the trees?

    Poll: Fallout 3 is not fun, am I doing something wrong?

    If you don't like text-heavy games, AND you don't like open world environments, you shouldn't be looking for an RPG in the first place

    Zynga and the Rise of the New Gamer

    My god, that's insanely accurate, except for the guy's last line. In the picture he's painting, even though the information would be available, nobody would ever CARE about what future generations think about the specific books you read. They'd care about how many points those books would have...
