    Zero Punctuation: Deadpool

    Ick... Deadpool. Okay, here's the thing: the character was originally Marvel's attempt to parody a character that was, in and of itself, a parody, having completely failed to get the joke. Obviously, times and writers have changed since then, but the point is I will always be mystified by how...

    Review: Saw

    I'd have to say the game is probably closer to the second movie than the first. It's set between those two and uses the characters from the first, but it has the same "one large environment trap broken into a series of smaller trials" set up as the second (or probably closer to the third, since...

    Review: Saw

    I think Stephen King's defense of the "torture porn" genre (albeit stated in response to criticism of the abysmal-for-reasons-not-relating-to-torture-porn-status Hostel Part II) applies here: "horror" is an evolving genre. What scared people years ago won't scare people as much now (Poltergeist...

    where did your avatar come from and why did you want it?

    Mine was made for me by a member of another video game board. I use it on nearly every forum I'm a member of, whether it's dealing with video games or not. It's obvious who it is, but I actually think it was made from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, not the Prime games.

    Great Freeware Games.

    Seriously, no mention of La-Mulana yet? Epic, Metroidvania style platforming action that will hand your rear end to you many times over and make you love every minute of it. It's huge and has an incredible amount of depth for something you can find for free (it's Japanese, but there's an English...

    What is the WORST possible thing to say at the beginning of a date?

    Great news: the clinic called just before I went out and said my clap cleared up nicely!

    Poll: Wii Remote Sleeves: Do you even bother?

    On the safety note, rather amusingly my grandmother was playing Wii Sports when I just got it and she saw it and wanted to try it, and because I only had one Wii remote at the time, we didn't bother with the wrist strap and passed it back and forth. While bowling, she promptly threw it, narrowly...

    Poll: Wii Remote Sleeves: Do you even bother?

    I have them on both of mine, although I probably shouldn't because somehow, through some means I can't figure out, they seem to be trapping dirt between the remote and the sleeve. I originally left them on not for safety, but to protect the remotes from dirt, and, well, it's not working. It's...

    Saw game

    Indeed, I had heard that. It's actually confirmed through Saw VIII, but yes, Saw VII is going to be in 3D. It's also confirmed they'll continue the tradition of releasing them around Halloween. However, it's up in the air whether Tobin Bell will be returning, since he was only signed onto a five...

    Saw game

    That'd be the one. The furnace trap also wasn't a favorite of mine, at least partially because the victim makes no sense and is acting very out of character if you've ever seen Saw II. Also, I found myself muting the TV while trying to solve the chapter end puzzles, because for all the variety...

    Saw game

    First, the game doesn't have a lot of what I would call "quick time events", unless you're counting having to disarm and rearm the traps. It does have the worst combat system this side of Silent Hill: Homecoming and, in fact, makes SH: H look like an improvement by comparison, but I can almost...

    Poll: Do You Think A Game With A Homosexual Lead Could Survive?

    I can't tell if you used the example to make your point or if you are honestly asking. If it's the former, consider this expounding on the point. If it's the latter, the answer to your question: Samus might be an attractive young female, but she's also got a super dangerous career (and life's...

    Things that make you cry, guaranteed.

    For the Muppets fans here, try this on for size: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olHV1o9TE-8 And what makes me cry? Uh...everything. I'm a crybaby. I admit it. The ending of Return of the Jedi, endings of the Jurassic Bark, Luck of the Fryrish, and Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings episodes of...

    Game Characters You'd Want on Your Side in a Fight

    Samus Aran. The job's not done until the planet she's standing on or near goes boom. That's a good way to make sure the battle's won right there. Just as long as she's willing to carry me to safety when the countdown starts, because there's no way in hell I can run that fast, especially through...

    Game characters you wouldn't want to bump into.

    Samus Aran. Oh, sure, she's an icon, and a good looking one, but planets she visits have a tendency to blow up disturbingly often.
