    Unskippable: Sonic and the Black Knight

    Wow. That's all I have to say about this game. Just....wow. Someone had to pitch this idea to a CEO, and that CEO had to say yes. That's the most mind-boggling thing here. Is that someone actually thought this game was a good idea and ok'd a multi-million dollar investment to create it...

    Poll: Do you find life is positive?

    Buddhists believe that living is hard, but life itself is a wondrous thing that needs to be enjoyed. Or, you can take from this Douglas Adams quote. There are an infinite number of planets because there is an infinite amount of space to hold them. However, there are only a finite number of...

    JRPGs

    You are a truly intelligent person. Once people realize that it's okay for others to have different opinions, even radically different opinions it is rather liberating. But on topic, I don't care for JRPG's because they have this campy air about them, like the game isn't taking itself...

    Longest vs shortest

    Shortest, Super Mario 3, about 45 minutes. Longest, Fallout 3, about 150 hours (that's doing quite a large portion of the game content)

    Can the Japanese make a bad dub?

    I watch dubs on all anime, because I don't want to have to read a novel while watching the television. Dubs aren't inferior, they're different. There's a different culture here in America, and with it comes a different set of expectations. Be they imagined, true, or false. What works in...

    Kids to be banned from playing tag outside.

    If we stop the children from playing their little games, soon they will gain a collective conscious and rise up as one and feast on our flesh. No, but seriously banning tag is just plain stupid. When I was a kid, we played a version of tag where the person who was "it" got a stick. Then the...

    Wood shop. Did you take it?

    Yeah, I took woodshop. It was great, the teacher was awesome and let us have a bit of fun (reasonably, like we couldn't screw around near the power tools and stuff) We made a model plane, an ornamental box, and a few other things that I can't remember. While a kid was using a table...

    Poll: Are you a Brony?

    There's a My Little Pony tv show? and people watch it? So, yeah. No. I do dig me some Penguins of Madagascar though.

    What exactly is Mass Effect 1's gameplay like?

    I prefer ME1 to ME2. Infinite ammo, planetary exploration, no resource gathering, single power cooldown, and no auto regenerating health. I hate auto regenerating health, it makes all the combats feel like isolated fights instead of one seamless experience. Also, ME2 has infinite creature...

    Police pepper spray 8 year old

    Go Team Pepper Spray! Given the choice between bullets and pepper spray, I'm pretty sure the kid will be happy they chose the later. Unless the cops were terrible shots, or if he wanted some kind of pre-teen martyrdom thing. Personally, I think teachers should be equipped with pepper...

    Your weapon of choice for a zombie apocolypse.

    12 ga Mossberg pumpaction for close rangeand the commonality of the 12 ga. and the deadliest weapon known to man, a crowbar. I don't plan on dealing with anything outside shotgun range, if it's already that far away, I can run :). As for the third weapon....i don't know....a grenade in...

    Extra Punctuation: Roleplaying Homosexual in Dragon Age 2

    Yahtzee's best point was that the game is intended to be a fictional experience, meaning, it's not you in the game. As for myself, I have role-played several kinds of characters in table-top games, including a flamingly gay elf (which was incredibly fun oddly enough).

    Favorite song that no one else (probably) has ever heard ?

    The Knife by Genesis Yes, Genesis. Not the crappy 80's incarnation with Phil Collins, but the 60's-70's prog rock version of the band. And yes, it is indeed the same band. Mars by King Crimson This is an awesome version of Gustav's symphony.
