    Little Big Planet, I don't get it

    I've seen very little of the footage (just the E3 Hands-on from X-Play) but I'm going to go out on a limb and say this game could really be a flagship title for the PS3. Part of me thinks this could be as recognizable as Super Mario Bros. and Jumplion says a lot of it for me: In terms of...

    Zero Punctuation: The E3 Trailer Park

    Watch the credits. It gets a slightly better mention than Gears of War 2.

    Zero Punctuation: The E3 Trailer Park

    Lots more angst than usual in this one. Also loved the "clapping." Really woke me up! Oi! The theory of cynicism at the end is pretty much what I've adopted. If you prepare for the worst, and the worst comes, you were right. If the best comes, it's a pleasant and welcome surprise!

    "This movie's awful...I'm outta here!"

    Say what? Not flaming, but what's your idea of a good movie?

    Zero Punctuation: Age of Conan

    From here on, I will be pronouncing "niche" like "quiche" as Yahtzee did in this review. He's absolutely right, however that every MMORPG should strive to be like WoW. 10 million people can't be wrong. They can be dumb, but they can't be wrong. It's a good business model, really.

    best video game characters catch phrases.

    A lot of win there. Help yourself to an Internets! Allow me to be a stickler: A catch phrase is, by definition, something said somewhat repeatedly. Most of these submissions don't really count.

    Zero Punctuation: LEGO Indy

    Here we go with the "it's too mainstream for my tastes." Not to pick on you in particular, but really, who cares about a polished "professional" intro that is all of 5% of the total runtime of the video? If something is popular and crafted well, it will be picked up by someone with money and...

    Whoops, that didn't take long!

    Yahtzee's gone corporate! Leggo my Legos! Good review, as usual.

    Final Fantasy XII

    I will forever view FF12 as a great game for the sole reason of introducing Balthier to the realm of "Memorable RPG Characters." Oh, and it took me several scenes to figure out that Larsa was a male. And Ba'gamnan was a better villain than Vayne Solidor. Although any boss named "The...

    Poll: Doomsday 2012: Are you a believer?

    Two things: 1. Worry yourself to death by trying to understand things your puny brain can't possibly comprehend. OR 2. Live life and be a good person, and what will be, will be.

    Best video game commercial

    If that's the one I'm thinking of--the "banned" XBOX commercial, it was indeed full of win. *bang*

    Zero Punctuation: Webcomics

    This couldn't be more appropriate--at least to me. I was *stumbling around a bit yesterday and seemingly every other stumble was a some lame-ass webcomic. Good show, Yahtzee! *if you don't know what I mean, go to stumbleupon.com (that's how I found this place, actually)

    Online pleasures

    I thought this thread would be about porn... (that was for Strafe) Oh, and I never got a bigger high than disc-ing someone from long range in Tribes 2.
