I think it has more to do with Amita being the radical - Pepsi is "the choice of a new generation" compared to Sabal's offering of tradition and lack of change. But ultimately, it's all just fizzy sugar water.

Yeah Far Cry 3 has a much better story and feels less padded. Far Cry 4 has slightly refined gameplay mechanics and graphics, but is far less interesting overall. Also, the voice acting of NPCs in FC3 is pretty great (a lot of interesting Maori and mixed-Australian accents).

Nobody expects the Spanish Escapism! Our chief weapon is surprise... surprise and message boards... message boards and surprise. Our two weapons are message boards and surprise... and speaking Spanish. Our three weapons are message boards and surprise and speaking Spanish... and an almost...

I don't think your review was objective enough, Jim. For example, assigning a "genre" is a highly subjective and muddy area, as genres are often based on vague notions of style, demographics, and creative content. So, best to leave that out. Also, your assumption that the characters are...

It's pretty shitty, but I feel you are dancing around the real issue here - reviewers shouldn't rely on free or pre-release copies of games. Reviewers should be buying retail copies at release like everybody else. You're just playing their game by going down this "first to review" path of...

The headline says prices are "doubling" in some territories, but the article makes no mention of anywhere they will be doubling. WTF?

Yeah, but it was also pretty unfunny and dull for a Zero Punctuation video. Yahtzee almost sounded sleepy, rather than his usual hyper-stimulated pace.

You really only just noticed this now, Bob? It was pretty obvious from the early seasons onward that Maude is supposed to be mean-spirited.

Exactly my point! Establish a "game company" to make the game for the Republican Senatorial Committee. Charge $100,000 to "develop" the game. Have your 15-year old nephew make the game over a weekend, in exchange for a new Xbox. Putting any more effort into the game would be extremely...

I think you're missing the point. They aren't being "ripped off" - they are funnelling supporter donations to their well-connected friends. If the developer did a good job, then that would take more resources and cost them more money, reducing profits. That would be downright un-American, and go...

Looks like those clowns in Congress are at it again. What a bunch of clowns.

COMICS... ARE... BORING!

Damn it, Bob. Do you really hate your audience enough to tell us to watch Howard the Duck? What did we do to deserve that?

Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines I thought Yahtzee was smarter than this.

Well, yeah. But he hasn't actually said anything meaningful in the first two parts, so why bother with them? Why not just get to whatever the hell he's trying to say? What he has said in these two episodes also doesn't ring true. I lived through this time, and these movies, and I don't recall...
