    Poll: 2015, The end of The Escapist?

    No, it's not. The doomsaying is just because the anti-GG people are crying because certain individuals who have made complete asses of themselves offsite have been fired and the pro-GG people are rubbing it in their faces. Now if ZP goes it'll probably shrink significantly, but that's unlikely.

    Check Your Privilege!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs I was going to try to write a huge paragraph with all of these in it, but posting the link is easier. You can't censor my thoughts, and in my country you cannot censor my speech, but you do have a right to retaliate with your own. Without even...

    STALKER: Lost Alpha Plan Scrapped Over Pre-Release Leak

    Seems like they're just whining honestly. Things get leaked (badly) all the time, hell look at Crysis 2. I think they're just using this as an excuse to "finish" development because they were never going to be done to begin with. If they actually think they were going to be able to sell this as...

    Zero Punctuation: Top 5 Games of 2013

    Simple rules of writing. Show, don't tell. Make characters act realistically. Make characters act logically. Keep everything consistent, especially regarding interpersonal relationships. B:I does none of these things. I don't really feel the need to explain how, but if pressed I might. As for...

    Zero Punctuation: Top 5 Games of 2013

    No. No they do not. Also his analysis of Lutece and the timelines concerned is using THE GAME'S OWN LOGIC and therefore is most certainly NOT a moot point. However, even if it was, the grandfather paradox ruins the ending anyway, and EVEN IF THAT WAS SOLVED the concept of infinite realities...

    Zero Punctuation: Top 5 Games of 2013

    Cool story bro. I would completely seriously honestly no-joke like to see some counterpoints to the video. Shit characters, illogical nonsense handwaves, bad logic, inconsistent logic, terrible PC-adjusted setting, thinking it's deeper than it is. Those are the main bits. To be fair I did...

    Zero Punctuation: Top 5 Games of 2013

    You seem a bit upset, did you watch the video? It's basically 40 minutes on why you're either wrong or at least very unjustified in liking that game. No need to get shitter shattered over one anonymous asshole on the internet who disagrees with you there man, even if he does bring pretty much...

    Zero Punctuation: Top 5 Games of 2013

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdNhwb7iuI4 Not sure if you can embed here, it's been a while, but here's a video summing up what you SHOULD have thought about Bioshit Infinite if you were actually paying attention. Yes you. To sum it up: Story's garbage, gameplay is garbage, message is...

    The Evolution of Games Journalism

    The first part of the problem is that most games journalists are the very definition of midbrow. They like things that are complex enough to make them feel smart and hard enough to make them feel skilled but not complex or hard enough to make them feel stupid/inept. The second part of it is that...

    Update: TVTropes Deletes All Rape Tropes

    Just gonna say, /b/ still somehow gets ad revenue, I think TVTropes could find some way to as well. Also, whether we find it acceptable or not, freedom of speech DOES allow them to say whatever they want. They can be the most backwoods, dog-fornicating, rape-fetishizing, small-animal-torturing...

    Update: TVTropes Deletes All Rape Tropes

    Yes, the removal of the fanfiction I agree with, mainly because that's not the purpose of the site, but the removal of entire pages full of normal content is ridiculous.

    Gay Oreo Inspires Internet Outrage

    >2012 >Not knowing troll bait attracts trolls >Not knowing it's impossible to tell a good troll from a real fundamentalist I seriously hope you guys don't think more that a third of those facebook posts are serious, because it's likely they're not. Nasty "Trorrs" from the "4chains" would...

    Update: TVTropes Deletes All Rape Tropes

    Absolutely disgusting. They should be ashamed of themselves. Freedom of speech overrides some petty offense at a topic one may find undesirable. The argument here though, is not whether rape in fantasy is acceptable, but whether the documentation of its existence should be censored. If you...
