I've been watching Yahtzee since he was a little dot on youtube. Hell, I used to read his reviews when he was just "that guy who makes the horror adventure games." And while I don't laugh at ZP anymore, I stopped laughing after the fourth episode. It's still entertaining, and I find his opinions...

I actually hated every Final Fantasy VIII, X, sometimes XI, and stuff like FFX-2. I started out really liking FFXII, then hating it, and now I'm alright with the game. It did some things different from the other FF, and actually did them in intelligent and competent ways. Reading your review, I...

Your kid will probably grow up to enjoy the same things you do if only slightly. Let them be free to play games, but do regulate the games you don't want them to play. You know video games, so you have a leg-up on other parents who don't have a clue and can't remember that M=Mature. Make sure...

Favorite: The Metal Least Favorite: Cherub Rock (but I like it in RB)

I'm libertarian, I play DnD on occasion, I live in the Midwest, I, like many Midwesterners, will be voting for Obama.

I've read the escapist and perused it's forum for a year or so actually, I don't post much for my own reasons (I'm assuming you pre-judged me by my post-count, which is interesting because it's at the heart of the whole matter.) I remarked against your review based on the first two paragraphs...

Stopped reading there (well, I skimmed over the rest, but...) It's ok to critique a show, and I'm willing to let judging three seasons worth of a tv show by the pilot (though, if you know anything about television pilots they're almost always just the rough sketch of what the actual show...

I think you have it mixed up. Harmonix sued Activision, and for good reason. It was settled out of court though. Harmonix can't sue Red Octane because Red Octane would only hold patents to the guitar (at best.) And I know the majority of gamers prefer RB/GH over DDR. Because looking like a...

Konami's just butthurt that no one plays their shitty-ass music simulation games.

No, seriously, CAD sucks (And Tim Buckley's an arrogant jagoff) http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Tim_buckley

SSBB is an utter waste of time, and I'm a big fan of SSB and SBM. SBM was a step up from SSB, and enhanced on a lot of things, SSBB didn't. Unless it's been linked already a lot of you might be interested in this: http://mother3.fobby.net/ I didn't have any problems with the camera or...

For someone who liked Earthbound I'm surprised he forgot that Contact was the last Suda 51 release, not Killer 7.

Why is this thread still going? The answer simply comes down to taste. Back in the 90s I played JRPGs nonstop, and loathed WRPGs because I felt they were ugly with boring plot-lines ripped off of DnD (at the time I was really into ADD 2nd ed. though.) Then I found a wonderful thing called...
