Maybe, but at least this particular review had style, unlike any of the last three.

Speaking of old, recycled crap, is there an ETA yet on some new material, Yahtzee?

Not actually my best in terms of points, but definitely my best showing over-all:

You can build a PC that will run any game that's out or that will come out in the next year for about 350 bucks American.

You mean that thing they never update? I would've said Valve a year ago but can't do so with good conscience now that they've lubed up their L4D fanbase and are aiming for penetration. Now I'll say Relic because, even though they eventually let Buggo go, she was the best customer relations...

If I ever get a chance to work on an MMO, I'd propose a "permanent XP" and a "temporary XP" system. Every time you gained XP, 1/10th of it would be permanent and the other 9/10ths of it would be temporary and, when you died, you'd lose all of your temporary XP and go back down to the level that...

I'm not saying that the games are unlikeable, I'm just saying I don't see the difference between the newest iteration of Sonic and the newest iteration of Mario. Neither suit my fancy, but I wouldn't call either of them inherently worse than the other.

I believe the WWII situation was covered when I said it was an excellent way "to compel your populace to do industrial jobs for not enough pay." xP

I don't understand why anyone thinks war is profitable for the countries involved in it. It's an excellent way to make money if you're not involved or to compel your populace to do industrial jobs for not enough pay, but fighting wars is expensive.
