    The Big Picture: You Are Wrong About Pickle Rick

    Characters from Adult Swim shows ARE NOT ROLE MODELS! Rick, Dr. Venture, Harvey Birdman, any of them. A common theme among all original programming on adult swim is an underlying nihilism. All of the protagonists are idiots, drunkards, drug-addicts, lazy, pathetic, or even outright evil. Of...

    Zero Punctuation: Okami HD

    I originally played this game on its Wii port, the celestial brush techniques were MUCH easier to do with the motion control, or at least faster than analogue sticks. I think this game would work better on the Switch, since they could revive the motion controls for the celestial brush...or...

    Zero Punctuation: Sonic Mania

    yeah that time limit is annoying, especially in Starlight Speedway Zone (which has an homage to a Game Gear boss in it so even the portable games from the 90's can get some representation.) It's weird how they give you the option to enable the freaking DEBUG mode from the menu but not the...

    Zero Punctuation: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

    Why not just call it "the Yakko Warner" instead of the "inverse Donald Duck?"

    Judging By The Cover: Judging Dragon Warrior

    seriously, they replaced Akira Toriyama's art with that noobish crap? I guess Dragonball hadn't really taken off in America before the 90's but he was still super popular in Japan at the time.

    Zero Punctuation: Paper Mario Color Splash

    welp, thanks for that. I was wondering if this would be worth my time, if it was like 1000 year door with it's wonderful party full of quirky characters or like Sticker Star's crap would be the deciding factor. Nintendo rarely makes changes to their formulas, but when they do they always seem...

    Zero Punctuation: Star Fox Zero

    nintendo desperately needs to patch this game so we can play without motion controls, all they have to do is port the controls from Star Fox 64 3D and there we go.

    Get Out of Your Comfort Zone for 2016

    In defense of the new Star Wars, there are 2 reasons why the basic plot is so similar to A New Hope. The first is obvious, it's the first time they've made a Star Wars movie in around a decade and with all the negative feelings from the prequels they had to show the audience that they can do...

    Judging By The Cover: Judging Transformers: Devastation

    You know Yahtzee, there actually IS a transformer that turns into a combine, Thunderhoof from the current Robots in Disguise cartoon. Of course his robot mode doesn't have a cowboy hat, more like moose antlers made out of the thresher, but isn't it just hilarious when you say something...

    Zero Punctuation: Evolve - One vs Multiplayer

    I work in a toysrus as the R-zone guy, so I spend my day surrounded by video games. A couple days ago during a slow period me and a co-worker went through the playstation and xbox games to see if we could find any games with multiplayer content. We found that almost all of them did, indeed the...

    Five Nights at Freddy's and the Nature of the Jumpscare

    no, I don't hate it just for bad graphics, I ALSO hate it for bad gameplay, if a game can't deliver gameplay it doesn't MATTER what the graphics look like. Though good graphics can get attention even if the gameplay is bad, this game clearly has neither.

    Five Nights at Freddy's and the Nature of the Jumpscare

    My relationship with FNAF is different from yours, but my growing disdain for it is similar. All I knew about the game I learned from the copious amounts of fan art for it. Seriously it's almost as extensive a community as My Little Pony's. Eventually the time came where people started asking...

    Escape to the Movies: Paddington - Surprisingly Bearable

    This reminds me of your review of Real Steel. You know, in that it was a movie you expected to hate, but then you saw it and it was good. Is that a thing? Do we need to come up with a name for this type of movie? I would love to hear what "genre" we would call this.

    Zero Punctuation: Talos Principle

    I know how you feel about the new Smash Bros game. Despite being a huge fan of the franchise I was MAJORLY disappointed with the WiiU version. Mostly because they had to gall to totally GUT the single player experience. At least the 3DS version has Smash Run, which at least briefly resembles...

    The Big Picture: Off Target - Don't Censor Me Part 2

    This reminds me of last month when we had to pull all of our Breaking Bad toys off the shelves at toysrus because of one of these stupid change.org petitions. What's even more insulting is that a counter petition to get those toys BACK on shelves received more than 5 times as many signatures in...
