    Just What Exactly Does the Triforce in Zelda Do?

    I could believe that Ganon needed the triforce if Hyrule ever seemed to have an army composed of more than like, 10 guys.

    Zero Punctuation: Destiny - Always-On Grind

    I wasn't going to buy Destiny because I took one look at it and thought "is that pseudo Borderlands? Because it looks like pseudo Borderlands.". I just have no interest anymore in another "murder teh alienz" fest staring jumpy mcassultrifle.

    Divinity: Original Sin

    What I hate in some RPG exposition is the legendary amount of unnecessary reaction and clarification dialog. (looking at you Tales series) It slows down the narrative too much and makes the main characters all look like idiots. Also, many RPG's never learned "show don't tell" and much of the...

    Flat Earth Birth Control

    This shit is crazy. I'm sorry, but corporations are not people. Also, what the hell about the religious freedom of the people employed by those businesses? Will we need to research the religious beliefs of every goddamn place we apply to since a conflict in beliefs would be such a clusterfuck...

    Lords of Shadow 2 Might Have Been Good, Had Dracula Been Evil

    I like the idea of not giving Dracula an "even more evil" foil, but I wouldn't just want it to be a standard "villain protagonist" setup where you play the bad guy wreckin' shit up just to be a bad guy. You would need to give him some kind of sympathetic reason to be doing so. I kind of want to...

    Bethesda Hates Mages: 12 Reasons Magic in Skyrim Sucks

    Agreed. I think the same thing every time I forget why I hate mage characters and try one again. The fact that magic requires mana and swinging a sword requires nothing means that magic should, logically, be WAY more powerful than swinging said sword. Instead, it's crap from the get-go and only...

    A Beginner's Guide to Dark Souls - 7 Steps to Sucking Less

    Well, I guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree on skipping the depths and blighttown being a BAD thing. Hated those levels.

    A Beginner's Guide to Dark Souls - 7 Steps to Sucking Less

    My bits of advice: 1. Take the master key, the other gifts are pretty crap 2. If you don't start as a pyromancer, go get the flame at the first opportunity (I think you can rescue a guy who will sell it to you in the lower burg, if not the lady in blighttown will) since it doesn't draw from...

    A Beginner's Guide to Dark Souls - 7 Steps to Sucking Less

    Pre-patch the lightning weapons were kinda broken, and even post-patch, very little has a resistance to it (unlike fire) Long term, standard +15 is actually the best for STR/DEX builds, while enchanted or divine is best for INT or FTH builds.

    Zero Punctuation: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

    Thanks for bringing up the importance of local multiplayer to the survival of consoles. It really isn't common enough today, and lots of games that allow more than 2 players refuse to allow a party of 4 to play on the same system for no other reason than some bean counter figured out they sold...

    The Trials and Perils of Returning to PC

    Good to know we see eye to eye on the consoles/PC issue Yahtzee. I've been a console gamer (with rare exceptions) all the way through the 360 generation, but I'm abandoning consoles for much the same reasons you put forth. For some bizarre reason, consoles have been desperately trying to rid...

    The Glorious PC Gaming Master Race

    Yeah, I had already come to this conclusion not long before this article. I have been a console gamer all my life. I was always of the mindset that it would be far too expensive, complicated, and invasive. I held on because PC's lacked local multiplayer. Now all of those things are applying to...

    To everyone who thinks TF2 is ruined forever...

    Hey, if I want to rant at people who aren't there, that's my business.

    To everyone who thinks TF2 is ruined forever...

    I find it strange that people say the dead ringer is OP. I mean, yeah if can get behind their lines, you can really start breaking some stuff... if there isn't a single competent pyro on their team. Am I the only one who notices that when you kill a dead ringer spy with a flamethrower that the...

    Kid Icarus: Uprising and Hurt Nintendo Fans

    While I will admit that I could have chosen a better opening line than that, it does differ from the "u mad?" comment in that it implies that he was making his attacks because something Yahtzee said got a rise out of him, not because he had any legitimate points to make. So far as unfounded...
