The new music and credits are TERRIBLE!!! The clever musical choices added wonderful icing to the Yahtzee cake and now it just sucks; slapping you in the face like the first time you watched Star Trek: Enterprise and heard, "It's been a long road/Getting from there to here..."
For how long does he say that he's using the snippets of music under Fair Use only to turn around and subject us to generic nu-metal, X-Games theme reject "music"? With the addition of the post-show ads, it's clear the Escapist is planning on going more mainstream because that's what we want, another IGN (since we can't get to the old one anymore) and more synergy with the Big Money Media Folks, which is difficult if they think you're ganking copyrighted music.
Selling out FTL.

I have to say, I like the new intro. Then again, I'm only saying that because now I can watch ZP and be guaranteed to hear some music I'll like. Anyways, it sounds good and with the limited knowledge I have about making music, I would say a hell lot of work has gone into it, so cheers to whoever made it.
The episode itself is very funny indeed. Usualy, there are 2 or 3 parts that really stick out, but with this one, it's all very consistantly funny. And it is very funny. Perhaps this will become my new favorite episode (or do I need a older favorite episode to have a new one? Yeah, I think so).

Now that's something I would like to see.emytzu said:

I might have liked the new intro sequence had it not frozen on my computer into a big pile of mush. I like shiny things.
love the new action intro !!
and quite proud that there are only three indy movies, real ones that didn't suck and didn't have an indy who looked like he would crumble to dust if you hit him (or breathed on him too hard)
having said all that the motor bike scene in 'indiana the rip off thats there to take all your money you gullible twats (and maybe something about a crystal skull)' is funny (the bit in the library). however it wasn't enough to save the movie.
back to the games, I've always shared Yahtzee's catagorisation of the lego games, but know i might be some what compelled to go out and buy one, maybe,
so once again, the voice in the streets (mainly the gutters) speaks trueth
MORE PLEASE
(ps i should really stop ripping of Yahtzees whole sale in my responses, he just fires me up, just like that scene in Raiders when Indy is fighting the big german guy around the aeroplane)

Fuck
Yes
The new intro looks more professional in a "Cheaply retread every picture from previous reviews" sort of way and makes itself presentable.
For some reason, listening to you go on about the game this week made my brain fart, like how listening to a warbling trombone makes you think about something entirely different than what you just heard.

Highly accurate review this time around.
I agree with pretty much everything said... However (there always is one isn't there... and if not they what the hell am I writing this for?) as Yahtzhee touched on the most annoying things I would like to add:
The puzzles are interesting but not overly hard. It lends itself well to a bit of brain-pushups on a day after a wild bender run (ei. getting shit faced, porked, grilled, toasted and other synonyms for getting drunk.) If you enjoyed the movies chances are you will enjoy the game if nothing else then the funny little rewrites.
Oh on another note: the review of the newest Indy movie was fun if completely bullocks. A more correct review would be: Better then the second (but what wouldn't be) equal to the third and worse then the first (again what wouldn't be).
take care.
