My problem with FNAF is that once you figure out how the game works, you'll very quickly develop an optimum play style (which you essentially have to follow in the later nights no matter what) which will completely mitigate the scares and cause you to miss most, if not all, of the creepy stuff...

Out of the way, ribs! I don't need you, no one needs you! Honestly, I'm having way more fun with these videos than I thought I would. I still miss the rhymedown, but this is great too. Captcha: which one is math? Answer: cole slaw...that's right, yeah?

It's not that hard if you're fast. It gets annoying if you take too long (because the monsters will keep knocking you off the tower, especially bad once a pain elemental spawns), but otherwise the only difficult part is figuring out exactly when to shoot the rocket. Once you've got that down you...

I generally don't make assumptions, but I tend to move in circles where the incidence of non-heterosexuality is higher than the national average. Usually I don't assume either way...unless it's pertinent to the conversation at hand, or I'm trying to sleep with them, it's generally not important...

I've been busy, so I haven't had a chance to watch videos until today...that explains why my Podtoid feed wasn't updating...boo... Well, glad Jim's fully on board here, I just hope he Conrad and Holmes still do a podcast (a spiritual successor to Podtoid if he won't continue on with just that).

I went into the Phantom Menace cold, which was not an easy thing to do given the marketing push that came with it. I managed to avoid every commercial, every piece of product placement, and every description of what was contained therein. To give you a frame of reference, the biggest spoiler I...

My problem with the film wasn't so much that "it wasn't Godzilla," at the time I first saw this I'd only ever seen two Godzilla film, one of which was Godzilla vs. Megalon in which Godzilla teams up with a Ultraman-looking robot named Jet Jaguar (so I can take silliness). My problem was that it...

Thank you for making this episode, Jim, for two reasons. First, this is first-hand, tangible evidence that the AAA game market is fucking up and there are ways to be profitable without compromising the game. And, second, for bringing this game to my attention, because I like the concept and will...

I always failed to see the point of elitism in hobbies or media preferences. Sure, I jokingly sometimes play the elitist, but I've never understood those who literally feel assaulted by the fact that some people do not fit their idea of what a (in this case, but it applies to many passtimes)...

There's a significant difference. Romance novels are not a medium, they are a genre. Novels are a medium. Video games are a medium. We don't generally complain about romance novels because they are a small subset of a larger medium. If every novel had to be a romance (or, at the least, conform...

That's more or less how Superman Returns operated (which was a 360 release). The only things I can recall that were missing from your points are sonic booms causing damage (they were in the game, but were only cosmetic) and I can't remember if the buildings had a damage mechanic or not. ===...

Dead Space 3 - Not as good as 1 Batman Arkham City - Pow! Biff! Zonk! Crack! Thunk! Assassin's Creed 3 - British soldiers with x-ray vision (or, alternatively: fake choice ending is dumb) I've been broke lately, so that's the most recent stuff I've got

Plus, last I checked, Willem Dafoe wasn't copyrighted. Fair use is a fairly troublesome thing, and is largely subjective and unequally enforced (yet another reason why copyright law is all kinds of fuggered up). I honestly don't think that a WB defeat would mean any sort of significant change...

I didn't like WWW, but I enjoyed it, if that makes any sense. I'll never go out of my way to see it again, but the thought of watching it doesn't bother me. It was fun. Weirdly enough, among all the ridiculousness in the film, the one thing that bothered me was the false origin of the Secret...

Mmm...I will acknowledge that if Book of Shadows weren't attached to the Blair Witch franchise no one would be talking about how bad a film it is. In point of fact, no one would be talking about it at all. It wasn't horrible, but it was painfully mundane. About as rote a horror film as could be...
