    Jimquisition: Vertigo

    I don't see how anything could be gained by making a female character unattractive, or a male character for that matter. Grizzled and muscular is alright, Marcus isn't a half bad looking guy, Baird is actually quite good looking. I thought Lara Croft was sufficiently grizzled. How is being...

    The Big Picture: It Seems Today ...

    All of those adult cartoons are a world of hurt and a truly painful way to spend time, and I try to stay as far away from them whenever possible.

    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: House on the Hill

    What does the clown who lets the sink overflow and all the terrible neighbors represent? Who is Ganendorf? What does he have to do with Mario? What is Raccoon City? I enjoy this show but you both completely lost me on this one.

    Oh right, that part...

    That part in Portal 2 right before you exit the historic abandoned section, right before you reach the final pump room and open the giant hatch in the ceiling. Some pipes run into a sort of hole in the ceiling that lead up to the pump room. I've replayed it numerous times, and everytime I stand...

    Poll: Why do people like Halo so much?

    The story is excellent, original, and very believable. Excellent characters, except for the Chief, and 4 even fixes this. Soundtrack is top notch. I'm not familiar with the technicalities of music enough to explain this. Excellent universe, has an excellent sense of scale of the locations...

    Gran Turismo 6 Demo Debuts Next Week

    I didn't like GT5, the cars felt numb, they could go 100+ mph with barely any vibration. I'm more of a car enthusiast than a racing enthusiast, and Forza delivers more for those who love cars. GT5 had a million variants of every Civic and Miata, but only token entries for American cars. Also...

    Rumor: Valve has Left 4 Dead 3, Half-Life 3, and More On The Way

    You're not aloud to have hope around here.

    Escapist News Now: Ellen Page Vs. Naughty Dog

    I saw advertisements at Gamestop for The Last of Us and Beyond Two Souls next to each other and thought "Whoa, she's in both of these games? Now I have to pick up both of them!" Then I did some Googling and found out she is only in Beyond Two Souls, and I mentally wrote off the Last of Us. So...

    Escapist News Now: New Battlefront, Mirror's Edge and Dragon Age

    You're adorable, but I had to crank my speakers to hear what you were saying.

    Anyone ever had broken consoles?

    My first game console was an Xbox 360 that already had a red ring, I payed $10 for it and $5 for the hideous power brick. I wrapped the motherboard in foil and baked it in the oven, and replaced the Xclamps on the heatsink with washers. I got it to work for a week, long enough to play through...

    8-Core CPU Heads Xbox One's Hardware Specs

    They will get my money if the next Halo and Forza are exclusives, that's really the only reason I own an Xbox. I'm still not paying for online access.

    Jimquisition: Guns Blazing

    Perhaps they somehow wear out?

    The Next Xbox will be called...

    XBox Infinity is a short step towards Xfinity.

    'Trashy' films you enjoy watching

    Sucker Punch. It's a narrative mess and is full of pseudo feminist themes that make it even more sexist, but I don't care. This movie is a window right into Zack Snyder's crazy mind and I want more.

    Have people grown bored with zero puncutaion

    I think that the fad aspect of his popularity died off, leaving him with only the true fans and not hordes of crazy internet users watching and commenting on his videos. I watch it weekly and usually laugh my a$$ off, although I find I enjoy the videos more when they are about games I have...
