"I've never given a score since day one" You famously gave the Wolfenstein reboot two stars in your limerick review. SEE, SOMEBODY LIKED THAT DAMNED EPISODE. I'm still in shock that it got knocked out in the first round of the community choice ZP reviews. Now, back to reading your article...

The music for the game at the beginning drove me nuts. It took me the better part of half an hour to remember the game it was from. Sweet reference, guys. I hadn't thought about 7th Saga in almost a decade and now I'm looking for a way to play it again. After watching the rest of the...

This is why we keep you around, Bob. Fuck knows I never would have watched this on my own and, evidently, I would have been missing out. Thank you.

Flip the nationalities for a minute, or imagine it somewhere else with other armies entirely. Imagine it was Germans holding you prisoner and having you dig your own grave. One of them bravely stands up to them and guilts them into letting you go on the agreement that you find a German unit...

The slow-stabby-death in Saving Private Ryan was about a machinegun nest, not the sniper tower. The sniper tower, which held the sniper and his protection guy, got the shit blown out of them by an HE round from tank-hunter. Worst part of that is that the Sniper saw the tank hunter aiming at...

While those are absolutely positive things, publishers have a bad tendency of either lying or only talking about what is going right with their game, and never what is going wrong. Reviewers and/or first impressions video makers tend to be more objective. If anyone I trust actually comments on...

I want the game but I'm just waiting for someone to report on how good/bad the port is. If the port is good, I absolutely will play it. I just want to make sure I don't get bitten by the hype for what turned out to be a bad port again. In other news, being a PC player pays off again. Now...

This is super disappointing to see. I remember absolutely adoring their older games like Space Empires IV and V, but now their name is just another way to say "shit" in so many syllables.

I don't really post on here anymore but... damn that was a good episode. Thanks, Bob.

I gave up on Auteur Theory somewhere between 1999 and 2005. George Lucas's evil minion "Darth Binks" shot it in the face with a midichlorian-laced blaster bolt. If the prequels taught us literally anything at all about movie making, it's that the director simply cannot be the only voice in the...

Personally, I never saw much other than Grand Admiral Thrawn as worth lifting out of the EU and even he I wouldn't lose sleep over not seeing. The rest really looked and felt like complete tripe to me.

Oh, that's kinda nea-OH MY GOD THEY HAVE BERIC! I MUST FIND $200 IMMEDIATELY!

Surely I'm not the only one who remembers a couple of years ago when the complaint was that steam's process for allowing games into its store was too "arbitrary," "secretive," and "restrictive." In response, they gave us greenlight so we could choose what games to put on steam and now the...

Where were we!? Where was I? Jim, I was all of seven/eight years old in 1991. I was lucky to be sentient enough to like the damn thing, much less defend it from critics. That said, you can bet thy ass I'd defend it today.

I don't understand why everyone hates the advertisement at the end so much. I mean, does the video shutdown everyone's keyboard and mouse so they can't stop the video once they've seen the advertisement the first time? All I ever hear about it are people screaming "STOP THAT! STOP DOING THAT...
