"I'd rather hammer my scrotum into a six foot pancake and roll myself into a bollock burrito." Superb!

I think you only have to look at box office receipts to see why the mainstream punters think that films are better than games. Hollywood is one of the biggest influences on popular Western cultural there is, sadly. Most of what it puts out is tripe.

I've always had something else going on while gaming (I've been gaming at home since the late eighties). I usually turn the game music off after a few listens as it gets tedious hearing the same handful of tunes over and over again. At the least, I play quiet music in the background; at the...

You do realise that calling gingers 'flawed' and having 'freakish mutations' is actually ridiculous, don't you? Everyone knows gingers are homo sapiens' next evolutionary step up. :P Anyway, regardless of the fact that I have no interest in the majority of the games that you're commenting on...

Nice Flintsones reference at the end! lol

Might not be logical to you but it makes perfect sense to me. I don't use mods or MP and, unless the replay value is high, I'd get bored too quickly for it to have any value to me. Considering I got a few years of play out of Doom 2 (I can't remember how long it took me to finish the storyline...

That's all? 13 hours? Not even a day's worth of play time. Wow. Thanks for the heads up. I'll save my money.

I think I burned out on WoW gaming-wise. I played it for 7 1/2 years and quit half-way through Pandaland because it was getting too big and stupid and there were too many asshats playing. I've tried Elder Scrolls, Age of Conan, Rift, LotR, Archage, Neverwinter and a bunch of others but none got...

I think I've only ever played a handful of games that Yahtzee's reviewed in ZP but his reviews are hilarious regardless. ("Licky, licky, botty, botty!") Ahem. ;)

I stopped playing Mario games when I stopped playing Donkey Kong in 1982. I can't believe they're still going! Actually, I did get dragged into a Mario Kart game at a party once but I got bored after 30 seconds and stopped. Sod consoles, give me PCs, FPSs and MMORPGs or give me erm... Just gimme...

LFR was brilliant. As a FIFO miner, it was hard to hold down a spot in a raiding guild so this let me experience the raids. Sometimes even with a good group! By the time LFG came out, I was thoroughly sick of waiting ages to form even a group for a five-man dungeon so I loved it. Dual spec was...

Well, taking all my clothes off and slowly sitting down on a slightly warmed-up birthday cake is obviously the best option but, if that's not available, I'll take a game where I can figure it all out on my own through intuition. I'm a loner. I played WoW mostly solo for about 7.5 years. I now...

I wouldn't have even heard of this film if there hadn't been this controversy about it. I still won't be seeing it, though, as it doesn't sound particularly interesting to me and I have no idea who any of the main actors or producers etc are. I'm far more concerned about the cancellation of Team...

Bought it, read it, loved it, hoping for a sequel to it. Or several! I've been a huge fan of fantasy fiction all my life and mixing it with comedy is reading heaven for me. Loved all the Discworld novels and Mogworld is up there in the stratosphere with them. Cheers, Yahtzee! P.S. I also...

"...treat the controller like the face of a disobedient spouse..." was the only bit I didn't like. Just a bit beyond the pale for me. The rest was good, though. :v
