I like the way Yahtzee pronounces inventory. He says "inventory", whereas I say "inventory". It's neat-o.

Yes that I do. If you give me a wall of 1000 electronic doodads, I'll pick the one with a defect. It's insane. But this .... I mean NO ONE'S luck can be this bad can it? All the problems I've had are common occurrences you read about on the forums. Surely I'm not the only guy that gets...

Ya a poorly designed hinge mechanism is definitely not "wear and tear" .... that's BS. I had a PS2 that lasted for ages. The PS2 has got to be the most profitable console systems of all time ... I wish current gen hardware could match that kind of reliability, but I guess every step up in...

I'm having trouble understanding the economics behind the shoddy design and manufacture of video game hardware. Are they actually *engineering* a high failure rate, so that they lose a little profit during the warranty period but guarantee a repurchase down the road? Are they just losing so...

I'm a programmer at Petroglyph games, and formerly at Westwood Studios. I've professionally written C, C++, Java, Assembley (Intel, Motorola, PDP-11), Objective C, Perl, BASIC, Lua, and countless other scripting and web languages (HTML, Javascript, ActionScript, etc etc etc). I worked on...

Yahtzee you're getting SO predictable. I was over at Kotaku and I saw your COO review posted and immediately I thought, "Ok lemme guess ... I'm gonna click this video and be thoroughly entertained for the following few minutes. I'm going to watch it multiple times, chuckle through the whole...

Universe at War is *GREAT* and is coming out for the 360. The big worry about a console RTS is the control scheme ... the controls are (IMHO) the best controls of any console RTS yet.

Naked Mal: "That went well."

If George Lucas has the right to make shitty movies, I have the right to talk about how shitty they are.

Universe at War is definitely worth checking out if SupCom wasn't your thing. The 360 version is out next month and the PC patch will allow PC players to whoop 360 ass and vice-versa.

Wow ... are you ever full of yourself. Get a life NOOBSAUCE.

Here's a bit of trivia from a former orchestral musician ... people often confuse the terms "Classical" (a style of music) with "orchestral" (music played by an orchestra). Many people mistakenly cite music like that of Bach or Tchaikovsky as Classical. Classical music actually falls into a...

Actually he put COD4 *very very very* far behind Jesus and portal as a visual gag. He was making the point that it's far from perfect.

THAT was un-fucking-believable Yahtzee. Sat and watched this one fourt times with four different people and every time had to watch it a second time because we were constantly laughing. Absolutely amazing.

Maybe people who are so disappointed by "the hype" should stop obsessively exposing themselves to all "the hype". Review sites and news organizations make money by feeding "the hype" to people who like to decry "the hype" but who are actually so enamoured of "the hype" that they can't bear to...
