| The Escapist Online Magazine |
|
The Escapist is an online free subscription magazine with a host of interesting articles. I stumbled across this one quite by accident when "Googling" women and gaming. It happens that this month's magazine has a very provocative article called <a href="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/issue/30/15" target="_blank">"I Enjoy Playing a Girl"</a>. In light of the conversation on the RPGDot forums a week or so ago, I thought that perhaps this would be an interesting article to read. After reading that one, I read a couple of others and am hooked. Head over to <a href="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/issue/30" target="_blank">The Escapist</a>'s main site or read the article cited above and you'll see what I mean. |

What happened after that? Did you make some toast? |

No...as a matter of fact, I perfected my Bewitched Samantha Stevens nose twitch and practiced turning smart alecks into oyster poop.
What's your point?  |

Seriously? That you could tighten up your writing by leaving out the insights into your daily routine. RPGDot distinguishes itself from other copy-and-paste news sites by the professionalism of its reporting. The news articles here actually read like news articles, not Livejournal entries. |

Yes, we generally strive for a neutral tone but that doesn't mean the occasional newsbit with a personal touch is unwelcome. I have no problem with it, as long as the majority of newsbits have a straight delivery...and they do.
I'm a little more surprised Kalia didn't know the Escapist before - where were you hiding, girl?

What the heck was that? You can't just defend one of your staffers' decisions and forget the heavy-handed condescension. Where's my GOLLY GEE WHIZ DID ONE OF OUR STARVING VOLUNTEERS MAKE A MISTAKE DURING HER SPARE TIME YOU UNGRATEFUL BASTARD? Put some heart into it. |

Point taken and digested, abbaon. But on the forums I can pontificate all I wish so I will still be turning you into shoe goo as soon as I perfect my +5 Wand of Oyster Poop. So.... 'ware!  |

Abbaon, you are an idiot.
To those who spend their free time editing an RPG site: thank you, and disregard the trolls who obviously have no life or friends whatsoever. |

No, you are. But wait! I see that you split "you're" into "you" and "are" for maximum snootiness. I guess I must be an idiot. Well played. :( |
