Assistant to the Regional Witch

Since I have equal love for Valve and Firaxis, I'm going to comment on something I think we can all get behind: One of the guys in the video sounds a LOT like Bob Odenkirk. Seriously, did anyone else hear that?

"A job for a scalpel, not a hammer" implies that either could accomplish the task, but that a scalpel would be a better choice. Seriously, can anyone name a SINGLE task that either one of those tools would work for? Jesus, dialogue writers...really?

For some reason, I didn't enjoy the use of the word "smooched", and I'm pretty sure the average person would just say "kissed." That aside, the range of expression on Dolore's face really sold me on her character, and I could almost feel a sense of beaten-down desperation in Walmsley's voice. I...

Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons. Came on an Apogee demo disk (3.5"). Along with several other favorites: Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure(s?), Moraff's World, Crystal Caves (which I could never get to run, for some reason), and others.

OMG! The ending was so fantastic I almost spit out partially-masticated oatmeal on my keyboard. I was going to say that they captured the feel of 80s style training videos pretty well (and believe me, I've seen my share of the real thing...ugh). Although funnily enough, the shadow effect...

Hey Dante, ees your cazin! Let's go see beeg Eetalian teeties!

Hah...apparently I've been entirely despoiled by the Internet...I wasn't thinking "ohmygoodness, breasts!". Just "oh, hey. There are some breasts there." Also, despite all of the bad reviews the game has received, I...I kind of want to play it now. ...not because of the breasts. >.>

I'm actually playing through this game right now. I'm glad to hear someone other than the voices in my head making fun of it :D

Seattle, WA. Living there, specifically. Also, for my fellow Americans, allow me to calculate this value in Fahrenheit. Yup, I checked, and apparently -20, Celsius is REALLY F*****G COLD, Fahrenheit.

Holy crap, do NOT watch this with your mouth full of oatmeal. I'm cleaning this crap off my keyboard right now >_< Rofl.

Ah yes, it's lonely at the top... And by "top", I mean the dim corner that gaming nerds move into during high school, and that many never leave. It's not all bad, though. Sometimes you can grab unwary passers-by, like a troll that lives under a bridge! "What's that, you liked Peggle? Hey...

It is very sweet, indeed. And Charcharo, many PC games have level editors included with them, or downloadable separately. In fact, I would guess that being a PC game it's a bit easier to include extra media, as more programs are at your disposal. Really though, I don't think it matters what...

This was fantastic. I loved the Dragon Age reference (so true, btw), the "*muffled* Hi, my name's Dante, nice to meet you", and when Paul yelled "SPARTA!!" Absolutely made me cackle like a hyena ^^

QFT! I had almost forgotten about that one. Yeah, there were definitely a lot of "WTF?!!? That is such crap!!!" moments for me. And I was just playing it on regular difficulty, not even extra-hard.
