    Games with black protagonists?

    Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure [http://store.steampowered.com/app/260190/] The Steam page has pretty much all the pertinent information since I haven't played it in nearly a decade so my memory of it is pretty cloudy but I do remember it being ridiculously fun at the time.

    Australian Post Apocalyptic Sandbox + other Kickstarter finds

    I'm interested to see how their ecosystem would work, it seems like a really cool idea. although to be honest this does seem like a project that can get overwhelming fairly quickly. Still though, I hope they make their goal. I bought that on Steam not too long ago, it's pretty rough...

    Fellow men of the Escapist: How much facial hair do you keep on?

    The only thing I trim down is my mustache cause I find it irritating when I'm drinking and it feels like there's stuff in my drink but its just hairs from my face haha. So I have a full beard about 6 or so inches in length with a fairly short mustache but my lower lip is odd and because of that...

    Poll: Car Keys in the Sun Visor? Does Anybody really do that?

    I keep my ignition key hidden in my truck. I have a pretty hefty key clip with quite a few keys on it for other things I usually have to get into on a daily basis. Extra weight on an ignition switch can actually break it over time (mine is already kinda screwed up since I can take the key out...

    Help me join the glorious PC master race!

    That second build is almost my pc exactly, same CPU same GPU (except mine has dual cooling fans). If you're ok with overclocking (if you do, you NEED an aftermarket cooler if you're going over 3.6 Ghz, I recommend Corsair's hydro series, mine works great) you should be able to get 3.8Ghz easy...

    I am thinking about joining the military

    That's just an old scare tactic, it wouldn't hold up in any court.

    Sony Developing 300GB Blu-Ray Successor

    From what I understand as long as the drive is powered up and used once every five years or so it should be fine, data loss generally occurs after about 7 years of inactivity, if used regularly they can easily last decades.

    Wireless mouse & keyboard recommendations

    I went wireless about two years ago with a Logitech setup, nothing fancy or expensive (K350 and the trackball mouse) but it works great and I can't recommend them enough, I notice pretty much no lag and the batteries last months (at least in my peripherals). A little advice though, If you plug...

    Series where you only watched 1 season

    The whole series up till this last season (or the season before) is on Netflix, so you could sign up for the free month and catch up for free! That's assuming they still do the free month thing... OT: I can't remember any shows I've just stopped watching after the first season because I've...

    cars: manual (stick) or auto

    Years ago this all would have been true but nowadays automatic transmissions are coming with many more advanced features (that are being improved upon every year it seems) like computer controls, lock-up toque converters, Dual clutches, and an infinite number of variable speeds which allow them...

    Things That Become Creepy When You Think About Them

    I'm assuming you mostly mean nukes when you say "weapon stockpile". If so then there's no reason to worry, we (as in everyone) don't even have 1/20th of the nukes needed to wipe out all life on earth.

    Always On-line is Not a Deal-Breaker for Me.

    I'm not talking about playing with bots, I'm just talking about running around a map alone. As far as I know the game would always run offline you would just be alone, until they introduced the bots of course.

    Always On-line is Not a Deal-Breaker for Me.

    Just thought I'd point something out, TF2 can be played offline. Whether or not it's enjoyable is irrelevant since i could have fun running around the level shooting at walls, the point is it will run offline whereas Diablo 3 will not.

    Using the Word "American"

    This is getting kind of ridiculous. The flag of any U.S. state may be flown at the same height as the U.S. flag just not to the the right of said flag. Texas is not special in this regard. This is directly from the U.S. Flag Code. "When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of...

    why is Origin= Bad...Steam =Good?

    Honestly I have no problem with Steam having the monopoly since it is free and works fairly well. I don't like having to have two other services (aside from Steam) installed on my machine just to play games (some of which bought directly from Steam), but that's just my personal gripe.
