    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: A Tale of Two Poets

    Jim gives off a real coffee house open mic vibe. I more than half expected Yahtzee to appear in his segment, lightly playing the bongos.

    Critical Miss: Origin

    I cannot take Origin seriously until it understands that "I want you inside of me" is a creepy line that only works (in a strict biological sense) on guys, not on gir--...is that a meerkat wearing headphones? Man this web-comic is trendy as heck.

    The legal precedent of blaming video games.

    Don Quixote, published in 1605, was about a guy who went crazy after reading too many chivalry romances. Apparently that was what the Spanish were concerned with in the first 70 years of the sixteenth century.

    Poll: Teen sues school over "wigger day"

    If anyone has trouble seeing why this is wrong, let me get the ball rolling: - Minstrel Monday! Get your blackface on! - Fag Friday! Fag-hag Friday for the ladies! Come on guys, let's find a theme that is needlessly insulting to all minorities!

    Why do some nerds hate Big Bang Theory?

    This is a lot of it. It is a Chuck Lorre sitcom first and foremost; if someone wanted to know if they would enjoy Big Bang Theory, you would not ask "are you a nerd?", rather, you would ask "do you like Two and a Half Men?" And being a Chuck Lorre sitcom, it suffers from the typical problems...

    Fallout talk

    I played a bit of the first Fallout before I played number 3. I miss the turn-based-ness of the older game. Also the greater frequency of encounters where you could choose a side. Fallout 3 is the only game where I have almost squealed when ambushed.

    It's only sexist when Men do it?

    Okay, watching two and a half minutes of that guy has used up my patience--I haven't finished the video or read much of this thread--so I don't know if this has been mentioned, but a few points come to mind: - He uses the phrase "mindless chattering cunts" before he uses the word "women". In...

    Unskippable: Sonic the Hedgehog

    Princess Legs's legs got disturbingly tanned outside of the FMV. They don't even match her arms or face. Which, come to think of it, does give credence to the "stole that guy's legs" theory.

    Team Meat "Doesn't F*cking Care" About Pirates

    A dare? You dare me? Well this is fun, isn't it? Firstly, we are not talking about "mere ideas" here. "I am hungry" is a mere idea, one that I had this morning. The essay that I wrote for uni, one that took a few weeks of work, is not a "mere idea". The piece of software that took a large...

    Critical Miss: The Catherine Experience

    I suspect that my experience with the game will be the same, except instead of a girlfriend it will be my housemate--who owns the 360--looking over my shoulder, and instead of "Cheat on your girlfriend with Catherine" it will be "Play Catherine." Actually scrap that; I suspect that my...

    What is your favourite Gaming Podcast?

    Those Games we Played, (one of) the Loading Ready Run vid/podcast(s). I normally get bored of podcasts &c., but after watching a whole bunch of LRR's other videos, it's pretty easy to get into them sitting around talking about games.

    Australian Gamers Rejoice!

    To add to the above worry: But it's a start. Personally, I haven't been too affected by the lack of an R18+ rating, but it will be good enough if it stopps the rest of the world laughing at our supposed nanny state government that removes every bit of violence from every game ever.

    The most annoying and/or irritating 'collectibles' in a game...?

    The whole freaking lot of them. I don't know of a single game that has benefited from this OCD-bait. Exceptions: - Audio diaries &c. that are non-essential, and give you no bonuses except back-story. - The packages from Grand Theft Auto 3, because they weren't too hard to find because of the...

    How do you react to blood?

    Anywhere between "Oh, that's weird", "Uh, excuse me I think you're supposed to be inside me" and "I'm just gonna pass out a sec, hope that's not weird". Depends how much and where from. (Re: that last part in quotation marks:) Yeah, I fainted when the pretty nurse was taking my blood. I am...

    Games That Disappointed You...

    Haze. Mostly because I wanted the PS3 to be as good as the PSX or PS2. I wanted to be a PS3 fanboy. Alas... Call of Duty: Black Ops. More of a stand in for military shooters in general, but this is what ran through my mind when I was playing it: "Metal Gear Solid had better shootouts than...
