I always find it weird the things that are off-limits in games. Especially our own self-imposed morals. Good one, Jim.

An Yahtzee's was...A long way to go for that punchline. XD

 

[ZZoMBiE13]

Wait... is it already Wednesday?
This was interesting and fun as always. And I have to say, Jim's poem put a big grin on my face throughout. Nice works fellas!

 

[otakon17]

Huh. Audio plays but no video. Odd, very odd. Otherwise nice stuff as always fellas.

 

[TheLastFeeder]

Thank you Jim, That made my week.

 

[Imp_Emissary]

;D Still a little tired from the Expo, Yahtzee?

I too find it harder to kill animals [sub](domesticated one at least)[/sub] than to kill people in games, Jim. Even if they are sent to kill me. I mean, it's not like they really chose to try and kill me.

Don't like to attack people who don't attack me first though. Most of the time at least.

I'm not entirely sure what Yahtzee's poem was about this week. However good one Jim, morals in video games can be pretty messed up, that's for sure.

 

[Olas]

How much longer before I can purchase these poems in a bound book? Seriously, if you did that I would buy it. Maybe Cory could contribute some illustrations.

Apparently he got asked "where do you get your ideas from" a lot at the expo. XD

Oh. I wasn't at the Expo, I couldn't make it.

 

[Lunar Templar]

and ... Jim is teh winnar this week, with a much better poem, as a don't really know what Yahtzee was on about o.0

 

[JCAll]

I would love if Yahtzee had stood up and given that exact response at a Q&A.

 

[Starker]

The old Lara Croft may have been a cold-blooded murderer, but at least she didn't go, "On no, poor dinosaur, it was either you or me."

 

[Alexander Competitor]

but yeah, it's funny the things you feel bad about in games

 

[Evonisia]

I had to pause and laugh for a second when I finally caught onto what Yahtzee's poem was about. And why was this released on a Tuesday?

 

[Trilandian]

One of the best rhymedowns yet, imo. Well done to the both of them.

 

[LaughingAtlas]

I once worried about the day that I would relate to and fully understand one of Jim's poems, but I don't feel like I need to talk to a specialist this time. Probably a reason I never go after the wild life that doesn't come after me in Skyrim, apart from it being dull sport when there are dragons to play with.

 

[MrCalavera_v1legacy]

Come to think about it... i don't remember ever shooting a pidgeon in Liberty City, during normal gameplay.
I've also picked Animal Friend perk in New Vegas as soon as it was possible(though it was semi-because i was tired of being nagged by every living creature, while wandering around the wastes).

Games like Fallout and Fallout 2 are great when a player can finish most of the game without actually killing people: don't take team members with you and use punches etc. to blind, cripple or knock out your opponents without killing them. I'd like to see a shooter where enemies just give up if shot to the arm, etc.
