Normally I take Yahtzee reviews with a grain of salt (particularly Nintendo ones), but he makes a lot of valid points here in between the Nintendo-bashing. As an adult male with manly-sized hands, holding the console in the necessary position causes cramping after less than an hour. I'm also...

Losing interest in Yahtzee. It's getting hard to take his contrarian views seriously when they don't have at least some basis in fact. He still cracks some pretty funny jokes, but it's just lame how every one of his Nintendo videos is just him hating on Nintendo in general rather than focusing...

Yeah I read the War of the Ancients series and was excited seeing Krausus, Rhonin and Alexstraza (especially in dragon form) in-game. If you think about it, all of the villains we're fighting and killing in World of Warcraft are mostly from Warcraft 3 (and the stories surrounding it, like...

I was thinking this as I was reading other peoples' replies as well. I like having physical copies of games so they'll be mine for the foreseeable future. Although I doubt there will be any working 360's or PS3's in 25 years. Modern consoles aren't as sturdy as those old Nintendo brick houses...

I try my best to be nice to retail employees, especially ones at Gamestop. Maybe it's because I have a soft spot for gaming. I do get a little irritated when I say I don't want to preorder anything and they don't accept my "no" (I don't have a job, so I tend to not preorder because there's no...

Edit: Sorry, I misunderstood because it didn't take me to the first post when I clicked the topic. For me it'd have to be either Daisy from Mario Kart Wii or Link from Smash Bros, since those are the characters I always pick when my friends and I play together.

It sounds similar to Diablo 2's music because the same person that did D2's music made Torchlight's. On another note, I disagree with pretty much everything Yahtzee said. Yeah, it's a clone of D2, but it's a well-polished one. Although it suffers from the same ailment pretty much every Diablo...

Two personal ones right off the top of my head: Final Fantasy 12. FF is one of my favorite series, but this one just didn't feel like Final Fantasy. I mean, I'm not against innovation. New ideas are what keep games fresh, and you shouldn't rehash the same thing over and over. However, the...

Edited to add another:

The "rogue" archetype of assassin appeals to me. I mean, it wouldn't have much place in the modern age, what with guns and advanced security systems in important places, but the idea of using stealth and subterfuge to get the job done is what I'd like. I'd like to be the type that sneaks into...

His gameplay complaints are flimsy at best. Recently a change was made where you can buy regular mounts at level 20, and the much faster epic mounts at 40, instead of at 40/60 like it was for almost 5 years; also, no expansion is needed to buy a ground mount. They've also reduced the overall...

Sephiroth from Kingdom Hearts, for one. He had an attack that drained all your MP and put you down to one HP, and it was usually followed up by a quick slash that resulted in instant death. You could interrupt it, but he usually teleported to the other side of the arena before casting it, giving...

My DS hinge broke, but it was because it got hyper-extended, which was my fault, and not really a flaw in the construction. I called Nintendo, and they said they'd fix it for about US$50. It's expensive I suppose, but it beats buying a new one, and the DS -is- a few years old. I couldn't even...

What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk, have at you!

Toughest one for me was the easter egg in Stranglethorn. D: I got the rest right each time, I just couldn't nail that one question. >< I'm 8th atm on both of them, but I bet by the end of the day I get knocked off my high chair ;P
