I accidentally saw this video first (of any of the Legaia vids). The whole time I thought you'd just gotten past the intro cutscene - waking up from a nightmare is a decent start to the game after all. And all the villagers seemed to be in tutorial mode, constantly grabbing you for explanatory...

(Only read the first page). ZP, like apparently everyone else. Good choice, Escapist! I was a huge Yahtzee fan a couple of years before he started Zero Punctuation. BUT, the other features here kept me coming back. I particularly dig Unskippable, and Shamus Young's work. I find the...

Mostly seconded. I mean, Episode 3 is scheduled to take place at the Aperture portal-boat-gone-wrong. So what's Portal 2 going to be about, completely unrelated shenanigans at the somewhat destroyed main lab? No, there's going to be strong connections, and I bet they both take place at the...

Eerie. I dreamed about this last night. I dreamed the makers of Unreal (in my dream it was Unreal Corp) had de-facto ownership of the world, a lot like Lliandri Corp. Fortunately all the real work was automated so the only real "job" was playing video games. I got hired by an attractive...

I third Jerusalem. Should be impossible if Christianity, Judaism, *or* Islam are correct. Which is of course why I would do it, and hopefully end all this silliness.

"Terra" Which is what I want to name my first child if I have a daughter. You can't go wrong with "Excalibur", though. If I had two weapons I would name them "Durandal" and "Leela". And if I had an additional ranged weapon it would be "Cortana". Tycho could be my shoes maybe, freakin...

I've only played it on the PC, but I'd like to try the console version someday, because my new-ish hardware is too new for the game. Don't know if its the dual processors or the latest NVidia drivers (thanks for breaking Left4Dead until I set the resolution by launch options btw), but the...

Quoted for hilarity. Engineer would defend the house and maybe teach the kid a thing or two, but would probably teach them guitar, so hm. Medic would make them harder better faster stronger. Not sure how I feel about that. Let's go with the Demoman. I figure he's a good cook for some...

This is possibly the game I've spent the most time playing, if you count the PC version. The epitome of frustrating. I think I'm finally off it now, but it's still sitting on my hard drive and in my DS collection. Every time I play it I feel pretty good for a level or two, until I get to...

Here's a twist. My worst moment with the opposite sex wasn't with a girlfriend. It was when, about 2 years after my parent's divorce, I accidentally called my mom by my dad's girlfriend's name. She pretended not to hear, but I know I didn't quash the sound in time, and I felt like shit for...

Allow me to bake myself a last loaf of fresh whole-wheat bread along with some cool distilled water. Keep it simple, and make a statement about my life. Help me clear and calm my mind. It's tempting to get some fried rice, fish and chips, and marijuana as well, but that doesn't seem as...

I tend to forget bad villains and bad heroes. It's also kind of vague what "worst" really means. But if I had to contribute: Worst hero: The Punisher. I love antiheroes, particularly Batman and Spiderman, but the Punisher tortures people to death regularly. Nothing's worth that, so I hate...

Of all the great Zero Punctuations, this is my favorite now. It would be sweet if you reviewed more older games, but I totally understand why you don't or can't. I really appreciate this one. So, when are the Dungeon Keeper 2, Magic Carpet, and Descent reviews? Kidding! I'm kidding! Oh...
