    Zero Punctuation: Wilson's Heart

    VR is doing well in the sim department. Really well. It would be funny to see just how far Yahtzee can send his vomit after making a sudden spin stop in Assetto Corsa, or while doing a divebomb in a Stuka in IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad. So yeah, you need a good stomach for those. The tech is still...

    Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: Battlefront

    Maybe I'm old and bitter, with watery eyes and trembling wrists, but I just don't enjoy fast shooters anymore. Battlefront is the perfect example of a game I like to watch on youtube, but hate playing for fear of breaking another keyboard. Actually, maybe my keyboard would be safe, since you die...

    Escape to the Movies: Kingsman: The Secret Service - Can Lightning Strike Again?

    I mostly disagreed with Bob, but I've never stopped watching his episodes. There's no loss for me, because I'll continue to watch and disagree with him on Youtube. I think that The Escapist has lost something "different". I don't know the reasons why Bob is gone, so I can't comment them...

    The Big Picture: The Terrible Twenty Films of 2014 Part 2

    For me, number 1 was Interstellar. By far. And it cost me extra money to watch it in the launch day. Imagine how pissed I am about it. I'm a bit ashamed that I let it get to me this much, which is why it's probably the worst movie I've ever seen. I think it even beats Ken Follett's "Eye of the...

    The Big Picture: Top 10 Movies of 2014

    I sometimes wonder how these top 10 would look if Rambo First Blood would appear now instead of 30 years ago. That says a lot about how bad Hollywood has become lately. Anyway, this year Captain America was number 1 for me. But I don't know if it's because I've liked it for itself, or...

    Escape to the Movies: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - There and Back Again

    If you drink the hemlock I will maybe also drink it with you. Kudos mate, it's refreshing to find somebody sharing my views word for word. I for one think that Hobbit 3 is a masterpiece, not only because it finally surpasses the old artworks inspired by the books, presenting a coherent (for...

    Escape to the Movies: Interstellar - Doesn't Live Up To Its Own Name

    Whoa indeed. Sorry about the tone, I must've had too much coffee that day. I guess as a movie, Interstellar didn't annoy me as much as it being heralded as the most science heavy movie since Plan 9 from Outer Space (joke). My expectations were based on this, and I do know a thing or two about...

    Escape to the Movies: Interstellar - Doesn't Live Up To Its Own Name

    Hard science? What?! I've just seen this movie and I felt insulted that such movies even exist anymore. The fact that such an atrocity of a sci-fi movie is directed by a big name like Nolan and that it is sadly the biggest sci-fi movie this year is insulting to all the progress that was made...

    Escape to the Movies: Godzilla - Breaking Kaiju

    I've just seen this movie and I can't make up my mind about it. Either it's a MASTERPIECE, or it's the dumbest film you've seen in recent years. Case in point, there's one scene in which a soldier looks through binoculars and it takes him a while to actually see a monster which should've been...

    No Right Answer: "Greatest" Movie Ever Made

    I believe that the best movies ever made, off the top of my mind, are any of the following (in no particular order): - Snatch (because lol) - Goodfellas - Apocalypse Now - Thin Red Line - Once upon a time in the West - Jesus Christ Superstar No matter how much I try, I can't find any...

    Zero Punctuation: FTL: Faster Than Light - Exploding Spaceships

    Awesome episode. Great job, Yahtzee!

    The Big Picture: Ranking the Marvel Movies

    1. Cap 2 (duh) 2. Cap 1 (ditto) 3. ??? 8. Thor 9. Thor the Dark World Unlike others, I'll take a chance and call number 9 a truly stupid movie.

    Jimquisition: So, That Facebook And Oculus Rift Thing...

    Some people seem to forget about one small but important community of PC gamers: the simmers. Patient people who are either strafing Russian tanks in their A-10C, tearing the wings of unfortunate B17s in War Thunder, landing for the 156th time in Hong Kong or spinning around on the Corkscrew on...

    The Big Picture: The King of Meh-Sters?

    10/10 movie trailers these days just piss me off. It's like "Hey, look at all the cool scenes you'll see in the movie. No really, those really are ALL of them. Also pretend you didn't figure out the whole freakin' story already, but we're hoping you're too stupid for that." So basically the...

    Jimquisition: Early Access

    Sometimes the addition of content can be troublesome. I've played World of Tanks a LOT during the early stages, but abandoned it when they added tanks which, from my point of view, messed up the game I wanted to continue playing. Another problem is simply boredom. I got bored with Minecraft...
