    Zero Punctuation: Final Fantasy XIII

    Much as I love XIII, Yahtzee makes some fair points. In many ways, the series has declined since VI, and while I like the later ones, VI remains one of my favourites by far. On the other hand, his "four discs" comment becomes irrelevant as soon as you dump the 360 and go PS3... So, he doesn't...

    Cool technology you know will never exist.

    Okay, I did fly off the handle a bit, but the point is that mental "illness" is not necessarily any such thing, and "chemical imbalances" are a really simplistic view, as the brain is still little understood. I get annoyed by incorrect attitudes to the differing mental workings of people because...

    TV shows you'd love to see a game of and vice versa

    Ratchet and Clank. Gotta agree with that. I agree with adaption decay too. Henceforth, all suggestions in this thread are subject to the condition that it isn't cocked up in the process. *sigh* I'm sure there are loads of threads about games of movies and vice versa, which is why I...

    Cool technology you know will never exist.

    An honest politician that actually takes the long-term view for things. This possibly ties in closely with the repeatedly suggested "Peace". An LHC that doesn't keep breaking. Damned helium leaks. I also agree with virtual reality and the Portal Gun. Both would be awesome. 1. Time travel...

    TV shows you'd love to see a game of and vice versa

    First, I'd like to point out that the title says TV show, NOT film or movie. Also, don't suggest gameshows because that kinda defeats the point. I'll start with TV shows --> games: ------------------------- 1. House - Awesome medical drama with Hugh Laurie. I have no idea of quite how...

    Brilliant games ruined by stupid faults.

    It's easier to list faults than the games that have them, as some are almost universal: 1) LAW OF REPEATED IRRITATION Unskippable cutscenes. I'm looking at the cringeworthy laughing scene in Luca in Final Fantasy X and the pre-Riku fight cutscene in Kingdom Hearts in particular, but I think...

    The Twin Paradox.

    How many times do we have to give the answer to this? The paradox has been answered at least two or three times so far in this thread, it isn't actually a paradox, and Einstein and Relativity are CORRECT AND PROVEN (or at least, as much as any theory ever is known to be). Welcome to the...

    The Twin Paradox.

    You are correct that true paradoxes are unsolvable, but a lot of apparent paradoxes aren't actually paradoxes at all, including the Twin Paradox. They are "unsolvable" only because we haven't yet developed the necessary methods to solve them, not because no solution exists. Another example is...

    The Twin Paradox.

    Physics geek here. Most of this has already been said above, but my way of wording it may be more useful for some people, I don't know. Either way, this is for the benefit of those people who persist in asking the question long after it has already been answered... Time slows down (relative...

    Zero Punctuation: Thief: The Dark Project

    Since I cba to read through the first 8 pages of this thread, I'm probably not the first to say this, but... Anyone else see many similarities between the apparent ethos of Thief (according to Yahtzee at any rate) and that of...

    JRPG's : I don't get it !!

    To demonstrate that JRPGs aren't all the same, I direct anyone here who hasn't seen it to watch the Zero Punctuation of The World Ends With You. It's by Square-Enix, specifically the KH team, and it's probs the closest any JRPG has gotten to being liked by Yahtzee. Though don't quote me on that...
