Mattering cannot be created.

"So it's amazingly faithful to the movies, is what I'm saying." Man, that's a good line. Amazingly well done, sir.

To elaborate on this: the probability of making one 95% jump is 0.95. Making that *and* the next one is (0.95)(0.95). Doing that thirty times in a row gives you a probability of (0.95)^30, which is about 0.215, or 21.5%. So yes, your simulation was off a bit, but close enough to get the...

*finger wave* These aren't the tropes you're looking for. Move along.

Fantastic!

Hotness, Shamus. Just hotness. You've got the "being a geek" part down, already.

Fantastic! Well done. May you have 200 more strips, many of which are less painful to create than this one must have been.

"Someday we're going to need to talk about these trust issues you keep having." I think that's my favourite category of joke in these articles: the kind where you dare the reader not to believe that the game is really doing something as crazy as you claim, then show us the screenshot where...

Great article, and one I will remember the next time my nine-year-old daughter beats me up using Pai in Virtua Fighter. (I can usually stop her flurry of punches, eventually, but sometimes I, um, let her win. Yeah, that's it.)

I'm not at all sure about that, either, which is what makes it interesting to me. To simplify it further: you're presented with a person (Person X, let's say), and you know nothing about them except that they have the capacity to kill the entire human race in a way that nobody can prevent. I...

Y'know who else should be dead? Professor X. (Yeah, wrong universe, but come with me, here.) Anyone with the ability to kill the entire human race (ref: the second X-Men movie) should not be walking around breathing. Even if he says he's a nice guy. Even if he says he only started to do it...

"Dying hard or hardly dying?" Gold. Gold!

Ha! Fantastic, absolutely brilliant.

Maybe someone from The Escapist can comment on this, but my guess would be that they are paying him to write a column in addition to the ZP videos, and presumably that's because people like Yahtzee and they hope that more Yahtzee means more traffic for the site. So I would think that, yes, it's...

Well it seems like it ought to be, at most, harmless to you. You're free not to read it. It's a column by Yahtzee, and so far it's on the same subject as the review of the week; it's not a homework assignment. Skip it if you don't like it. I also don't see any reason to believe that he's...
