    Enough with the subtitles, already

    For the record, disliking subtitles puts you in the minority. However, I fully agree that there's really no excuse for not having an option.

    Zero Punctuation: Final Fantasy XIII

    Say what you will about Yhatzee and whether or not you agree with him. But I will say he's dead on correct about one point: if a game doesn't pull you in within FIVE HOURS, then it's a failure.

    I fail to see how this is funny.

    I think the problem is that it seems to be tailored towards people who like saying they watch The Office to seem like they're a part of the "in crowd" instead of, you know, watching it for humor's sake.

    I fail to see how this is funny.

    Amen on the Adam Sandler thing. I'm not saying I hate the guy; Punch Drunk Love was a fantastic movie. But the stupid humor of half his most famous movies? I fail to laugh. Jim Carrey too. Was I the only person who didn't laugh much at Ace Ventura? I can see why you say XKCD. It has...

    Old Uncle Escapist's Advice To Young 'Uns on Gaming

    Agreed. There are actually a LOT of crappy games for the old systems that simply never got played at all, so people don't know much about them. In fact, it's entirely probable that there were MORE crap games in the late 80s then every crappy game created since the NES to present day. They...

    Favourite TYPE of weapon in FPS?

    It all depends on the game, but I find that while the shotguns or the rocket launchers are shiney and pretty, the TRUE hero gun of any FPS is the trusty, crude-yet-effective one that pulls you through 90% of the game's difficult encounters. And in a good majority of recent FPSes, this has been...

    Old Uncle Escapist's Advice To Young 'Uns on Gaming

    "-Not eveyone who kills you in Halo is gay, sucks, or has a mom you slept with." This made me laugh.
