    Forum being phased out? Disqus?

    Gotta say, I am not impressed with the new Escapist format appearing to phase the forum and instead using Disqus. Disqus is fine and all - but it just seems so... i dunno, non-community? Like, when I see the forum frontpage: http://v1.escapistmagazine.com/forums/ - here I can see whether...

    The Big Picture: SUPERMESS

    Bob's point that DC has a villain problem is a good one - I still cannot for the love of it figoure out why they made the joker like they did in Suicide Squad. Then again, maybe they just used the same 'logic' that got TLJ's screenplay green - who knows? Either way its just really weird...

    Loot Boxes Are Bad for Publishers, Too

    It'll be interesting to see the time ahead of us on this topic. Countries finally starting to make laws on the subject. Though frankly, I personally consider in-app purchases on mobile and pad-games to be far worse, because they appear far more to children and non-gamers who aren't wise to...

    The Big Picture: Plothole Surfers

    Both Fallout 4 has a really bad story - and its built into the gameplay in a painfully unskipable fashion - but the rest of the gameplay is really fun Games like Spec Ops: The Line has intentionally meh gameplay, but a riveting story, to the point that the shitty cookie-cutter gameplay is...

    The Big Picture: Plothole Surfers

    Didn't bob just say that trying to pass off your own subjective opinion as fact is a bad thing? Anywho, I see that you have certain opinions about Sargon. Good for you. That doesn't mean you should call me names though - that's not very mature, is it? I'm not claiming to be a saint myself...

    The Big Picture: You Are Wrong About Pickle Rick

    I don't think anyone of consequence would judge you for just enjoying the show I certainly wont - and even with bob's analysis here, then I doubt any of us would lose much sleep if bob thinks less of us for not fully understanding the deep deconstruction meta-themes of the show

    The Big Picture: You Are Wrong About Pickle Rick

    Transition is not yet complete - but its getting there... I would argue: A lot of geek culture is mainstream - star wars, marvel superhero stuff... even crud like Big Bang Theory What you have to keep in mind is that there are a lot of sports that aren't mainstream. A lot of sports that...

    The Big Picture: You Are Wrong About Pickle Rick

    I don't see anyone blaming or tarnishing Soccer or all soccer fans because a minority of them occationally start fights and riots. I'm just advocating that the same logic applied to geek fandoms

    The Big Picture: You Are Wrong About Pickle Rick

    I think I'll have to disagree with some of the claims and assertions made in the video: 1) Claiming that there's a "tragically oversized" population of nerd culture fans who think they're free to be colossal pains in butts about their fandom I just watched a youtube that actually addressed...

    The Big Picture: Polarity Contest

    Hmm... it'll be interesting to see how this goes, considering some of Bob's final content prior to being fired from the site last time around. I can only hope that things are better now and that things will be kept civil

    Firefall is Officially Shutting Down Today

    I remember this game It had promise - but it also had bugs, and was IMO far too slow to open up the world to the player. You were kept in the newbie sandbox areas for too long, and you didn't get a vehicle to quick-travel until far too late. Even WOW realized that you needed to give people...

    Battleborn Gets New Free Trial that Makes it Basically Free-to-Play

    To nobody's surprise but ya - the game should have launched a few months later, to avoid launching so close to overwatch ...and perhaps used that time to make another game mode to further differentiate it from Overwatch but ya, too little too late
