Is Yahtzee talking much slower than normal in this episode or have I just entered some state of hyperawareness?

I believe hyperawareness. The first time i experienced it was a true challenge of listening power. But now i can listen to it whilst making tea and agony aunting surrounding friends. Well, sort ofEldritch Warlord said:
Yeah i do believe it's a matter of habbit.
Proof?

Anyway, i didn't try out AC yet, so i guess i'll pick AO much later.gamernerdtg2 said:

I'm frigid for life now. =)
What is Yahtzee's record for number of times saying "ass" in a single video? Because I think he broke it here. I started a "couldn't be assed" counter a quarter through the video. It broke!
I always viewed Poison Ivy as a reflection of both Batman's industrial roots and his repressed sexuality.
Bruce Wayne is the head of a multi-billion dollar corporation, which surely has had environmental lapses and (at best) middling effect on the environment at large.
Pamela Isley rejected her chance to be an industrialst/biochemist, in favor of supporting the environment--obviously to fanatic levels.
Similarly, Bruce Wayne plays the act of the "billionaire playboy", but that's only a disguise--in reality, he holds almost everyone at arm's length, in favor of his relentless pursuit of crime. His relationships are fleeting, at best, and carry massive baggage. Batman rejects sexuality in general, viewing it as a weapon that can be used against him: how many times have we heard that old spiel of "I can't let anyone get close to me" from a superhero movie, after all? However, Batman openly avoids and (dare I say) fears sexual advance because of this. Take a look at how Batman reacts when Joker slaps his ass in "Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth" for context on that.
Poison Ivy's most devastating attack isn't necessarily her control of plants, but rather her manipulation of pheromones to essentially enslave anyone that might be a sexual partner. Sexuality is part and parcel with her persona; it's built into her repertoire of powers. But, while Batman guards against his sexuality, she embraces it.
Your enemies will define you, indeed...

Are you joking? That's practically all the second half of the game was, and the reason I kind of hate the way the story went in this game. Heaven forbid we get one Batman game without the Joker absolutely stealing every bit of spotlight from the other villains.SonOfVoorhees said:

Yeah, the game was disappointing but had flashes of greatness. I didn't mind the Joker's presence but felt Black Mask could have done much of the same job. Really, I love the Joker but I think he can be overexposed and three games in a row is definitely that way.
