Alright, alright. Let's back the fun bus right up here and forget about romantic comedies for two seconds to address something that I've noticed in a lot of Moviebob's stuff as well as in a whole damn heap of internet videos and articles as of late. The Sword of Damocles. I know this ancient...

Oh not Skippy. That show was tremendously terrible.

It would be nice if all the world's disputes could be solved with some kind of sport, however war almost needs the loss of life on a grand scale to work properly. It isn't a nice thought, but war carries such a large significance with human beings that it can't easily be replaced by anything...

I can see your point here, and you have made it very well, especially in reference to Mass Effect 2. The way I see the Halo thing, however, is more as a part of the greater whole that is military-focused science fiction. Whatever way you look at it, there is a pervasive theme throughout many...

I really liked this video! Fantastic work, Bob. Oh, and every who's saying "Nuh uh, the covenant are bad because they're trying to kill everything, not because they're diverse!", you're missing the point. Destroying the universe is the plot device used to convey their evil nature in the...

Okay, here we go. Men of War: Awesome World War II RTT, but it can be a little impenetrable for some people, since the difficulty level is insane in some parts even when played on Easy. IL-2 Sturmovik: Still, in my opinion, the best WWII combat flight simulator ever made, and it has...

I used to love WoW back before BC, but that was mostly because RP servers actually had roleplaying communities in them, which have steadily been killed off in the expansions for some reason, that and raiding back then was more fun. Sure, it was harder to organise for the big raids because you...

I agree, and this was (before I read your post) going to be my response to this: Having watched a lot of war films and played a lot of war games, I find the characters in BiA to be absurdly cliched. Hell, you've got the slightly pathetic guy with the glasses who ends up flipping out because...

Recently I finally decided to go back and play through the first two Brothers in Arms games. For those who don't know what those are, they're hybrid FPS/RTS games set in the Second World War, you control a squad of soldiers from a first-person perspective and complete multiple objectives that...

I hate Call of Duty - World at War. Why? Because it is offensive in a very stupid way.

I liked Inception, I thought it was a very well made movie. However, the main plot device surrounding the nature of these dreams as being imperceptible from reality (and how that spills over into the real world by the end), I find, made the plot fairly predictable right from the start...

I'm an Australian, so this isn't directly aimed at myself, but I encourage Americans to use their political freedoms and vote to legislate the changes they desire in their own government just as I encourage any citizen of any democratic nation to do the same. If you're an Australian like me...

You know what, I like Steam. That said, I have a really fast internet connection that is constantly connected and I've been using the platform through its ups and downs since beta (sometime in 2003, I think). So I don't have a problem with it, and I'm actually glad that Civ V is coming to Steam...

Oh, The Longest Journey! You've caused me to fall into a pit of nostalgia, shame on you. Luckily I own it on Steam, so I can play it again right now and fall in love with the characters and the story all over again. It's a pity that the series lost a certain something with Dreamfall... ah, c'est...

Wow, sure is whinge-city in here. Anyway, if I might add my own two-cents, I'm enjoying these videos a tad more than the Robot Chicken D&D because this is how tabletop RPGs are really played. While I do enjoy the Robot Chicken videos, they're much too conventional, and their DM is much too...
