lulz abound.

Thats what I like about the web todays, you click on a link and you see nothing but a flashing mess. Where or what is the article you linked?

The Escapist really sucks.

They don't understand how to make a paper either, or an internet version. Look at this quote:

Whattehell is that? Why do they always, _always_ highlight a bit for no apparent reason? First of all, that quote sucks, it doesn't work on its own, it doesn't say anything interesting either. And for some reason "and the last time..." is highlighted. Why would you do that? Highlighting within a quote should be used for dramatic affect, "and the last time..." has nothing interesting about it.

Its like this sentence where I highlight a part that is possibly the worst part to highlight.

In short, the Escapist fails.

Why does this page slideshow so much on my machine? It wouldn't slideshow nearly as much if I ran two most resource intensive games at once on my not-so-new rig. Escapist fails.

Do not link to the Escrapist.


I visit that shithole for one reason only, and that is ZP. Only occasionally, at that.

It also has the most hilariously emo amateur show ever made, drawn by pain. I think I managed about 1/2 an episode before it all got too much and I began CRAWWWWWWWLINGGGGGGG IN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN........

 

[Kingston]

Never forget.

Oh my, its the guy from my quote: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/ ... m-Festival

I'm tempted to propose a MSTing of these stories, but for the fact that such an exercise would be more devastating to the dignity of whoever did it than to the authors of these stories.

I'll settle for highlighting the emphasized quotes:

Carla (as noted earlier)
"Will stopped. He hadn't sung that in ages, and the last time..."

Phantom on the Tokyo Metro
"Times like this are why I get to the station at 7 a.m. when the cars are most packed."

But a Walking Shadow (Does that even qualify as a title?)
"The last smell I remember is burning flesh."

For the Green Fields of Aldamar
"Skazz leaned forward. 'But what if you don't want to play?'"

Gears of War Fanfic
"They said the world was divided into those folks who ran away from and those who ran toward it."

The first two are definitely the catchiest.

BTW, there's a the new rany about "Mercenaries 2", quite entertaining.

Dear God.

Also the latest ZP videos were okay but not all that great.

Escapist was actually good, for the first several issues. Now it's just a bunch of douchebags drinking each other's cum of pseudointellectual superiority, much like Codex was.
