    Zero Punctuation: Metroid Other M

    Well then, can you explain the joke to me because I don't really get it.

    Zero Punctuation: Metroid Other M

    The obvious difference here is that Fusion was loved by everyone. But I doubt Yahtzee was going for a joke there. It's just a fact that Other M is the most linear entry in the series.

    Zero Punctuation: Metroid Other M

    Also, this game is ANYTHING but "the same game again and again". It's so different that if you'd slap another name and new characters, it'd be closer to "inspired by Metroid".

    Zero Punctuation: Metroid Other M

    Sean Malstrom is an idiot strawman with only illogical hatred for the world around him who claims to know what makes Metroid good even if he has bashed Zero Mission, Fusion and Super Metroid in the most illogical way possible. Also, he thinks "Metroid should be a trippy game where you kill...

    Zero Punctuation: Metroid Other M

    Nice episode. I myself enjoyed Other M, but really, it's not without some obvious glaring flaws. I think Yahtzee exaggerated on a lot of points, but really, that's just what he does. I have to say that the traitor mystery is actually solved pretty clearly, though. They never outright say who it...

    Final Fantasy Characters: Best And Worst

    Best: Auron. It's Lee Van Cleef with a huge-ass katana, sunglasses, facial scar and a bottle of booze. The game should have been about him. Worst. Cloud. Angsty emo pussy.

    Michael Atkinson Steps Back From Pre-Election Net Censorship

    When we got rid of Jack Thompson, another one of these people popped up. I mean, seriously. Although it's pretty worrying that unlike Thompson, people actually give a shit about what Atkinson says.

    Poll: Are core gamers too harsh on Nintendo?

    People like Taerdin really take all credibility from people bashing Nintendo.

    Is the Heavy Rain Mall Scene Uncanny-Valley-Tastic?

    Oh my god the Uncanny Valley effect made the clown even more terrifying than it already was.

    Why wont FPS games work with the Wii?

    But it works. Metroid Prime 3. Point proven. It's just that most of the shooters are shitty ports.

    There Will Be Brawl: There Will Be Brawl: On Set

    Oh come on, Escapist. At least TELL us when you're going to release the episode. This is just fucking stupid. I can wait if needed, but you are just keeping us in the dark.

    There Will Be Brawl: There Will Be Brawl: On Set

    So...Escapist. Don't you have...something to post, y'know? It's kind of a big deal. I guess you couldn't post it last Friday because you didn't have anyone at the office. (Somehow didn't stop you from posting the newest Escape to the Movies, though) And...I guess there are people in your...

    There Will Be Brawl: There Will Be Brawl: On Set

    Except that they already posted Moviebob's latest review. There is no excuse, no excuse for this delay. First they set up an unrealistic deadline for the final episode, resorting in the editing team of Brawl almost killing themselves. And when it finally is ready, The Escapist refuses to post...

    MovieBob's Best Of 2009

    This seems like a great list. I'm a bit disappointed that you never reviewed A Serious Man. I mean, that seems like it deserves an episode more than that obscure ninja movie you already reviewed.

    There Will Be Brawl Quiz

    Ha. I was the first to get full score on this. Not that anyone gives a shit because I wasn't fast enough.
