    Zero Punctuation: Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

    Why does the description for the show state that the show is the Escapist's and Yahtzee stars in it when Yahtzee invented the show and the Escapist then syndicated it exclusively after the fact? Is it fall out from firing MovieBob?

    No Right Answer: What's Our Deal With J.J. Abrams?

    Does no one remember seasons 1-4 of ALIAS? Sydney Bristow, one of the great female protagonists along Sarah Connor and Kim Possible - torn between her preternatural badassery and her desire to remain merely human.

    The Big Picture: Blecch, Dull Tests

    I disagree with the opening on this basis-Just because some piece of knowledge hasn't been discovered doesn't mean it is undiscoverable. This is exactly the reasoning of a creationist that demands evolution be cast away because you can't name every ancestor you've had since proto-cellular...

    The Upcoming (And Pointless) Console War

    Yahtzee is demonstrably wrong this time. The so-called 'video game crash' of 1983 was due to non-exclusivity. Consoles aren't viably sold at a price that covers their manufacture. What subsidizes that manufacture is software. In 1983 Ataris and Colecolovisions and whatever elses all had the same...

    No Right Answer: Best Pixar Movie Ever

    Up is the best Pixar movie. While Wall-E was relevant to American/Western European consumer culture, and Toy Story is relevant to the leaving behind of childhood, up defines honor. You can show Up to Klingons. The difference between honor and glory is the crux of the movie. The first explorer...
