    Zero Punctuation: Mighty No. 9

    Let's not turn this into another sodding EU debate and all talk about how Yahtzee is blatantly stealing from Jim Sterling with his "How the mighty have fallen" caption. And you know he did because he didn't put in a special part pointing out he didn't. For shame, Yahtzee, you plagiarizing hack!

    Fire Emblem Fates Cuts Petting From English Version

    If it was about boldly trying out a new experimental idea, then they should make a new IP for it. I mean really, what kind of nonsense argument is this? The idea isn't new, isn't relevant and doesn't offer anything interesting to the gameplay. The same way you don't slice your own bollocks off...

    Fire Emblem Fates Cuts Petting From English Version

    Haven't read the entire thread but I feel a certain point needs to be emphasised: In Japan, the whole skinship thing is considered weird nerdy territory by most people. Japan is nowhere near as weird as you think. Also, when it comes to this sort of thing, I'm reminded of Tales of the...

    Zero Punctuation: Fallout 4

    Aww, was hoping he'd bring up his Deus Ex definitions and point out that Fallout 4 isn't an RPG; it's an open world action game with RPG elements. You seriously can't do any real roleplaying in this game without completely ignoring almost everything.

    Assassin's Creed is Officially Running on Fumes

    You're kidding right? Hero ninjas vs evil Samurais was a narrative made for this series: stealthy peasants against well armoured dogmatic aristocrats. Similarly, I'm still baffled why Egypt hasn't shown up, Ancient or otherwise. Until the series lets you leap of faith off of the Sphinx's nose as...

    SOMA is Something Unique in Gaming - Reveal Driven Drama

    Watching it on Youtube was actually a whole lot of fun. They all go in expecting to scream for patreon money and end up in existential nightmares and quiet, solemn contemplation.

    The Perfect Guy - I Wanted to Walk Out

    So the movie's about 100 minutes, right? But how long does it feel?

    Zero Punctuation: Volume - Robin Hood?

    Blimey, he has been gone a while then. Football fever has been going downhill ever since Murray won gold at the Ashes. Or something.

    Tembo the Badass Elephant is a Bit Desperate, Isn't it?

    I always thought the ass in badass referred to a donkey and the phrase originated from notably ill-tempered ones. Incidentally, they should have made Tembo a donkey and just called the thing "Bad Ass." Or has that been done? It sounds like it had been done.

    Judging By The Cover: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - 5 Easy Steps To Sexy Adventure

    This series is far, far better than it should be.

    Fire Emblem Fates Will Introduce Same-Sex Marriage to the Series

    Gosh if only he had some sort of straight sibling with the same bloodline. It also ties in thematically with Marth - who is called a descendant of Anri, but comes from the blood of Anri's brother. That and the fact that he lacks a true Aether (incidentally, having Sol which is one of Mist's...

    Fire Emblem Fates Will Introduce Same-Sex Marriage to the Series

    Just as a sidenote: Fire Emblem as a series has definitely allowed for homosexual relationships before (hell, they went so far as to make Ike, the main character of two of their games, gay), they just tend to be less obvious and require a bit of reading between the lines because apparently it...

    Nintendo Reveals How Much Sales Butt Fire Emblem: Awakening Kicked

    Can I just chime in to say that it's a very confusing time to be a long time Fire Emblem fan. Awakening was a stupendous game in its own right (so many hours...) but was also pretty lackluster for a Fire Emblem game. That being said, if they release and polish up Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn on...

    Hatred and the Catharsis of Violence

    Would like to echo this sentiment. I was quite shocked to find out punching her was not just an option, but a recurring one. She always gave rather pleasant and hopeful reports on my Shepard.

    Narrative Continuity of Fighting Games is Convoluted, Especially Mortal Kombat X

    Play the first BlazBlue game, Christ. It gets pretty irritating to hear him constantly complain about fighting games not having interesting stories when there is a very prominent one that is almost universally lauded for being both a great fighting game AND having a rather complex, interesting...
