YouTube keeps recommending a show called "Yahtzee pesters his girlfriend with (name of some game)", or something like that. Perhaps our old pal Ben has finally made a lasting relationship? Who'd have thought there'd be someone willing to put up with him after all (snark snark).MrCatchTwenty2 said:This is the first time I can remember that yahtzee has ever mentioned a hypothetical wife or hypothetical children. I know he doesn't have either so could this sudden mention of both be a unconscious be a sign of wedding bells playing in Yahtzee's head?
I've been playing through it with my son. I can only take just over a couple of hours. My right thumb is pretty sore. It's a great game, though. Sucks getting old.ZZoMBiE13 said:YouTube keeps recommending a show called "Yahtzee pesters his girlfriend with (name of some game)", or something like that.

Kidding aside, if you are walking down the aisle Yahtzee, consider this congratulations and best wishes for a happy life and happy coupling. Huzzah!
As for Cuphead... I was so looking forward to this game. Now that I have it I'm forced to make a sad realization. I think I'm simply past the point where a game like this is a viable form of entertainment for me. I'm too old, my hands ache too much, and playing it is not only emotionally painful as I lose over and over, it's physically painful as my hands grip the controller so tight during tense moments that I literally can't let go for a few minutes as the joints scream in agony. I think it's time to look for a "lifelong gamer who can no longer game now that being in his 40's has claimed everything worth having" support group or something. *sigh*
Honestly, it's more Gunstar Heroes or Alien Soldier[footnote]And if you haven't played either of those, educate yourself; I think they're both on Steam.[/footnote] than Contra. But the point remains very roughly the same. And since he grew up around that period, it makes a bit more sense that he'd be accepting towards them.Blazing Hero said:I am actually rather surprised he enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong it is a good game but Yahtzee never striked me as the type who would enjoy an old fashioned Contra style shooter.
Yeah I'm definitely feeling a gunstar heroes vibe in the game.leet_x1337 said:Honestly, it's more Gunstar Heroes or Alien Soldier[footnote]And if you haven't played either of those, educate yourself; I think they're both on Steam.[/footnote] than Contra.

If it makes you feel any better, you can upgrade your arsenal with the coins you find in platforming levels.C14N said:The one thing really putting me off this game is the fact that the gameplay footage I have seen of it shows the player's gun as being frustratingly weak. After playing Nier Automata I've kind of gotten tired of the idea of having to hold a shoot button for hours while it does infinitesimal amounts of damage, but at least in Nier you could add in a sword to the mix. That said, I do really like the animation and art style.
Seriously, it's the childrearing equivalent of not letting a new player fight any enemies at the start of an RPG and then throwing them into the boss room severely underleveled. Kids've gotta learn how to handle shit before there start being major consequences for fucking up.Canadamus Prime said:I kinda wish we'd go back to being willing to scare the shit out of our kids instead of being overprotective to the point of absurdity. I remember an old Disney short that ended with Donald Duck dressed as the Devil chasing Huey, Dewey, and Louie with a pitch fork. You certainly wouldn't see that today.
That's quite an apt analogy. It's only going to hurt the kid in the long run. Also we wonder why they act like self-entitled little shits.ToastyMozart said:Seriously, it's the childrearing equivalent of not letting a new player fight any enemies at the start of an RPG and then throwing them into the boss room severely underleveled.

Oh, I had that happen a while back. I thought it might have been because I downloaded all of Yahtzee's videos through the site's RSS feed, but if you haven't done that then I don't know what it might be. It went away after a month or two though.Jaymer 161 said:I can't even get this video to load. I keep getting some stupid video ad starting off with a line about waterslides, then after it sits proud and doesn't go into the actual review. I've gone through the browsers, save IE, and tried it on a mobile. The hell is going on?
