    Zero Punctuation: The Curious Expedition & Mother Russia Bleeds

    Yahtzee, if by the slimmest of chances you are reading this, could you please replace all future Thomas Ruff moments with H.P. Lovecraft instead?

    You can pause time!

    I would be the BEST PIZZA DELIVERY MAN IN THE WORLD. "A slice of time: 30 seconds or it's free!"

    Valve: If Steam Sales Didn't Work We Wouldn't Run Them

    I've seen this kind of behavior before actually... Working in a garden center, you get used to having to put certain plants on sale (because live plants do not last very long, especially not in 100 degree heat), but there are several companies which we have contracts with which do not allow...

    196: Building a Better Achievement

    I'd have to agree that the best achievements are the ones that challenge the player in ways that aren't intrinsic to the game, but certainly possible given its mechanics. For example, the Dastardly Achievement was a delightful surprise in Red Dead Redemption, and it made me want to continue the...

    You now ARE the last thing you killed in a video game.

    Jack Thompson Threatens Gabe Newell Over School Shooter Mod

    Alright! Looks like it's time for another round of the JackAttack! Was getting kinda boring around here, anyway.

    Poll: Teen Shot dead after attempting to mug man

    1. So then why bother using it? 2. See #1. 3. Glad we've covered this. Nothing to say here. 4. Yeah, I'm sorry he didn't have the balls of steel you have, Sweeney, but different people judge situations in different ways. The consensus here seems to be that it was a life-threatening scenario...

    The Big Picture: Combat Evolved?

    Talk about over-analyzing it. Seriously, are you scraping the bottom of the barrel on your first episode, Bob? That's not a good sign. It may have sounded like gold to you, but let me throw your argument back to you, in so many words: Halo is racist (and promoting the master race) because...

    Dragon Age : Origins - An utter disappointment ?

    So after an entire game of trying (in vain) to get it on with Alistair, I've come to several conclusions: 1) Goody-good paladin types are extremely lame, 2) Dragon Age: Origins is a rather bland - if professional - RPG that brings almost nothing new to the table and 3) The thief or whatever...

    Poll: Would you let your gf play a MMO?

    HA! My former gf is the reason I'm playing WoW. Now, limits? Yeah, a few, but I get it if you're the healer of your guild or whatever, just try to balance your time well. I'm saying I'd make the same commitment, and to not expect the same would make the whole relationship kinda... false? But...

    Zero Punctuation: Thief: The Dark Project

    If this game is responsible for that horrendously awful stealth level in Rainbow Six: Raven Shield, then I am going to murder it. Or just everyone at Ubisoft.

    Zero Punctuation: Spore

    That was a 16 second NO. Impressive.

    Zero Punctuation: Too Human

    You know, there is such a thing as a fear of success, and when a company that copyrighted "videogame insanity" switches to something like this, I think this MUST be the reason.

    "Drinking Games" for playing video games

    Well, if we were to follow Indigo Dingo's Killzone shot for shot, you'd be dead before the end of the first level. I always like the "winner takes a shot" method, because it's a good equalizer. That and the people who can beat me have no stomach for whisky.
