    The Big Picture: Plothole Surfers

    1. While you've made your feelings on the 90s quite clear, were you at all into the 90s animated Marvel shows on FOX? If so, how do you feel they hold up against / compare to newer iterations?

    Zero Punctuation: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

    Having grown up on the Jak and Sly Series (and some of Spyro and Ratchet) I've really never understood Yahtzee's aversion to 3D platforming. I'll just chock it up to taste, because I've never found platforming in 3D to be inherently problematic. Challenging and frustrating maybe, but, in a...

    Metal Gear Solid V: the Definitive Experience Coming This Fall, Includes Ground Zeroes and All the DLC

    The only way I would ever buy MGSV again is if they included a ULC feature so I could create my own Snake Tales, and play other peoples. The core gameplay is great, but once you've memorised all the effectove travel routes and objectives, and there's no story left, there's nothing to to...

    Spielberg's BFG Flops at Box Office

    They look kind of generic. The Cosgrove designs were awsome; way more grusome - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ey1PYsLGzE&t=17m55s

    Are Games Losing My Interest, or Is it Just Me?

    I often find myself listening to music/podcasts/audio-dramas after I've finished a game, and no longer feel it the need to commit all my focus. Once the Context (ie: story atmosphere) has been experienced to satisfaction, that just leaves Challenge and Catharsis (which has been lowered by the...

    Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Pitch Brought Chris Pratt To "Tears"

    I respect Christ Pratt and everything, but I have a policy to never get sucked into hype. So words like "it made me cry" and "the company literally haven't interfered at all" do nothing to me... nothing!... I hope.

    Narrative Continuity of Fighting Games is Convoluted, Especially Mortal Kombat X

    In the Substance re-release of Metal Gear Solid 2, there was a set of alternate universe missions called "Snake Tales", each taking place in their own universe. At first, I wasn't really interested, since they just felt like re-skins of the Main Game missions. But when I actually took the...

    The Big Picture: Secret Crisis

    This is something that bothers me a little about recent Doctor Who. A big part of a recent story arc revolved around rebooting the Universe (literally), so certain alien invasions never happened, and the Doctor is less known throughout the universe, including to his age old foes, the Daleks...

    No Right Answer: Is Avatar an Anime?

    "Is Avatar an Anime?" Answer: It doesn't matter.

    Doctor Who As Watched By Someone Who Doesn't Really Watch Doctor Who

    Don't know if you kept up with it, but in "Time Heist" ... That's a tiny bit spooky. Not very. But slightly.

    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: The Storyteller's Curse

    I love the way Yahtzee plays with his format.

    No Right Answer: Best TV Drama Ever

    Dexter WAS good for 4 seasons. Then 5 and 6 were meh, 7 was cool again, and 8 was an absolute travesty. Breaking bad had no flaws. I really can't think of any at least. Yeah. Breaking Bad. EDIT: vvv Yeahhh, Shelock. And Musketeers is damn cool so far. Pretty much "Assassin's...

    Wind Waker is Still the Best Zelda, and You're Surprised?

    Reading this is reminding me a lot of Poacher. Derek was a good sport that 'literally' fell into the role of hero. Well, Gamey fell anyway. And I finally got round to beating that damned all-controlling deity the other day. A check point would have been nice... then again the adrenaline rush...

    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: The Straw Beast

    That was Yahtzee's best one yet. And I lost it when he stuttered and did the "whatever a slender can" bit.
