Unskippable: Darksiders

[CrazyGirl17]

Hah, nice work guys, this might be your best one yet! Loved all the references (especially the Marx Brothers one), and the comment of how big a theological headache this game is.

 

[Blackout62]

Dude, you missed a prime Wilhelm Scream.

 

[ewhac]

Forgive me, but the "Russell" reference is going straight past me. Reference?

 

[spinachwrap]

I am so very confused by this cutscene and the plot I've gathered so far.

Russell is immortal.

Russell Crowe is a relatively famous actor from Australia. Whenever a crow shows up in a cutscene, they refer to it as "Russell". The implication is that it's the same crow doing all the crow cameo's in the different games.

Actually the connection to the actor was unintentional, it just happened to work out that way when Graham initially came up with a name for a crow the first time. I = LRR Nerd (I'm getting there anyway).

Also, excellent episode guys, lots of great jokes.

 

[Zivlok]

Oh, wow, I did NOT expect that epic callback to the very first episode. Also, TOTALLY HOT QUIDDITCH.

 

[MonkeyPunch]

Bernie <3

Wasn't he from the Lost Planet ep.?
Good times.

 

[dubious_wolf]

HAHA Starring Mike (edited!) Patton! that was absolutely fantastic!
I just watched this again.... and I still don't quite understand the story....

 

[keybird]

That game's plot was just terrible. Hell, the more I think about that game, the more I hated it. It was derivative, had zero replay value, and the only original thing about it ended up being shit. That was the plot. I ended my review on a positive note, too.

Ahhh, Bernie could totally surround those enemies.

Yeah I wish I hadn't bought it. Oh well...straight trade in for NBA 2k10.

I think you ment to say Dante's Inferno, it's okay it happens

 

[likalaruku]

Wow, this game needs plastic surgery. Looks incredibly boring too.

 

[Bananajoy]

Lol Russell again? It's like there's a rule that a game cannot be released until there is a crow in it.

Anyways...

THQ: TOTALLY HOT QUTDDITCH

 

[rofl jet]

"Military begins evacuating civilians... from Earth... to where?!?"
And yes, you're right, Bernie would know what to do.

That game's plot was just terrible. Hell, the more I think about that game, the more I hated it. It was derivative, had zero replay value, and the only original thing about it ended up being shit. That was the plot. I ended my review on a positive note, too. But now I just have such hatred and rage for that game.

Bernie could totally surround those enemies.

god I miss bernie

*forehead smack*

Of course. Much obliged; thank you.

Darksiders

Graham and Paul hitch a ride with one of the Four Horsemen.

Watch Video

Russell was even at the Sherlock Holmes movie i saw recently! he was the mastermind in the plot!

 

[orangeapples]

Odd, that one girl angel said, "My Lord" but she wasn't talking to God. BLASPHEMY!!!

Actually I think it was entirely a coincidence. They saw the crow in a cutscene and wanted to name him Russel...

Either that or a moon

 

[Endocrom]

Was the second horseman holding a pistol?

 

[WhiteTigerShiro]

Seeing the game in action for once, I can kinda see what Yahtzee was going-on about a couple weeks back. It's hard to really get into War as a character because I'm too busy just trying to decipher his appearance. I suppose that some would fall-back on the argument that you aren't really supposed to "get into" him as a character because he's just one of the four horsemen, but that would be kind of a cop-out excuse. I've seen more ominous characters be more engaging with fewer lines than War spoke.
