That wish of yours, Mr. Yahtzee, is basically the plot of "The Bard's Tale" for Xbox, Gamecube, and PS2. Cary Elwes plays The Bard who is constantly being heralded as The Chosen One and he always refuses to be addressed as such. Along the path, you encounter other Chosen Ones who are each slain...

Ok, I wrote a whole other comment with lots of bullshit, but having read all of the rest of you, I have to ask: Have any of you played "Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse"? And if so: did you not find it funny? Because I think it's hilarious AND really, really fun.

I'm sure all of these have been brought up previously, but I can't be bothered to check. There are many types of games which contain comedic elements as a major factor. These are my favorites that aren't adventure games. Or Valve products: 1. Silly sports games. Your "NFL Blitz"es, "NBA...

Clearly Mario is in need of a re-contextualization. Some poignant and clever take on the illusory and superficially saccharine state of his world. Something like "Duke Nukem Forever." Not the shitty one that got released here. The fucking stellar genre-bending game that was released in the...

I wonder if you've played Chibi-Robo for the Gamecube, Mr. tzee. You've never mentioned it on the show and it seems like it would be an experience you'd want to have. It's approach is almost completely antithetical to the average game experience as your main objective is to make the other...

I think this game is fucking ingenious. Admittedly, the first time I played it I was on a fair amount of acid, but subsequent sober play-throughs have proven it still excellent. It's much less about the gameplay (which is... lackluster) nor is it about the humor (which I like most of, but can...

As a lifelong turtles fan (some of my earliest memories are Turtles related), I can still readily acknowledge that this franchise has made some serious missteps (The Next Mutation, The Christmas Special, TMNT III, et al) and thus I cannot find myself getting angry at this idea. For all we know...

A great point on how memetic evolution is as slow and cumbersome as genetic. Certainly worth remembering. Until memory is selected for vestigiality, that is.

This idea puts me in mind of the Gamecube game "Chibi-Robo!", where the method of advancement of story and character level involves doing progressively nicer things for the family who bought you. The ultimate goal is to be the robot who makes their family the happiest in the world. It starts out...

I'd suggest Finntroll: the only death metal band I know of to successfully incorporate an accordian Also, Tyr is awesome. They're like Metallica if Metallica had grown up listening to themselves on an isolated island in Scandinavia For weirdness, I'd suggest Mr. Bungle And for...

Well, this has been an interesting sociological experiment. You're all wrong though. The correct answer was "Colonel Mustard in the ballroom with the ****** ****."

So, recently there has been a controversy surrounding Rick Perry's hunting ground containing a colloquial name that is a racial slur. Naturally, the reaction has been that "there is no more offensive word in the English language." But, I've noticed whenever someone in the public eye uses the...
