    Zero Punctuation: Splatoon 2

    Bam! Ruined chicken sandwich. Yeah, I dislike mayo too. It does sound like the splatfest had some sort of weird programming problem.

    Zero Punctuation: Strafe

    Wait, wait, wait . . . 1) Run into a room, trigger a hostile NPC who will probably trigger multiple other hostile NPCs. 2) Run back out of the room, around a corner, and wait for all the hostile NPCs to come running to find you and they'll conveniently all group up once they get around that...

    Judging By The Cover: Judging Amityville the Awakening

    Yeah, movie posters do assume the viewer is dumb as a box of rocks and needs things explained to them very carefully.

    Judging By The Cover: Judging Dig Dug

    Yeah, Canadamus Prime, same here. I'll never look at Dig Dug the same way as before. .... Do illicit backstreet pie-eating contests even exist??

    Zero Punctuation: The Surge

    The "Tropic of Fuckabout" is brilliant. On the irritating side, part of my job is setting up and maintaining electrically-powered equipment, and now the word "surge" is ruined for me. Damn you Yahtzee.

    Zero Punctuation: Wilson's Heart

    Never tried VR, so can't comment on it. From a storytelling standpoint, it is pretty sad to hear about bloodless bodies and an NPC who looks like an old movie vampire and has the same name as an actor famous for playing a vampire, but SHOCKINGLY is not the vampire. The smug cat face for that...

    Judging By The Cover: Judging Forbidden Quest

    Looks like a preliminary sketch for a Vallejo painting.

    Zero Punctuation: Sniper Ghost Warrior 3

    ... I can't get past the idea of a game you fight a ghost that rearranges the furniture every time your back is turned. That sounds kind of awesome.

    Zero Punctuation: Outlast 2

    The setup makes no sense. A Christian death cult AND a pagan death cult, in the same rural area? How many people do they think live out there?

    Judging By The Cover: Judging Justice League

    Yeah, I wanted to hear more of the fashion show commentary too. :( And agreed, those are two very uninspiring boring posters.

    Zero Punctuation: For Honor

    ??? Knights v. Samurai v. Vikings might have made a fun video arcade game in the 80s or 90s. Time Killers comes to mind, no story, just characters in 1v1 fights with various special moves. But can't see it in any type of story mode, it just winds up being like Soulcalibur or Mortal Kombat...

    Razer Ornata Chroma Keyboard Review - Bridging the Gap

    As much as I wish it was the opposite, I do a lot more typing than gaming. Thank you for the review. I think I'll give the green version of this a try.

    Judging By The Cover: Judging Batman's First Appearance

    Ah, yes. The classic "secret unlicensed rooftop pole dancing lessons" scam run by almost every career criminal as the next logical step up from shoplifting and purse stealing. Found in almost every city or large town.

    Judging By The Cover: Judging Alien Covenant

    Nice comparison, I'd forgotten how the original poster had a whole lot of mysterious and threatening things being hinted at, but not really explained. According to my dad, the drool coming off the alien in the first film is the same thickening liquid used in chain restaurant milkshakes...

    Zero Punctuation: Battlefield 1

    I didn't think there were that many machine guns in WWI either. Yeah, the dog at the end got me too. WWI doesn't sound like anything that would make material for a shoot-em-up game. Maybe a game that tries to get the player to consider the grimmer side of life, or the strange oddities that...
