I'll just say it.
He said if you want a review watch the Fallout 3 review.
Also pop dehydrates you in real life.

I tried looking up soda and dehydration and it would seem like it's really up to the person to decide whether it dehydrates you or not. On one hand, I've heard people say that is a myth that lives on by repitition. On the other, I've heard people say that all the chemicals in soda cause dehydration. It's like making a decision in politics :/. I've personally decided that soda does not dehydrate you. Plenty of people may think otherwise, but unless you can come up with an argument that I have never seen before, I probably won't chnge my opinion.
Dammit, I hate it when long posts don't go through. I don't feel like typing it back up again or trying to remember everything I had said, but basically, I was saying opinions on whether or not soda dehydrates seems too evenly split to decide for certain which is which, so I'm just going to believe that it doesn't.
EDIT: Nvm, my post was delayed for some reason.

Well, for the first time in my life I'm left wondering whether Yatzee like the game or not. Frankly, for me it's also sort of a grey area. At least it's definitely better than the original and, suddenly, you can actually RP in a RPG for a change.
About the whole soda thing, strangely enough, game devs are right. Osmolarity of soda is aroung 0.5 OsM, while osmolarity of plasma and bodily fluids is around 0.3 OsM. Which means that soda does make you dehydrated. Certainly, the effect is not as profound and obvious as in the case with sea water which is 3 OsM.

In my 10 years of backpacking experience I can tell you that yes, soda dehydrates you. Look at the ingredients label, sure it has water in it but the other shit in there makes your system work harder and push through more water, in the end its not beneficial.samaugsch said:
It does not matter what computer/console it is played on, my point is that the whole gaming industry is dumbing down any game ever made right now, with some exceptions. (Tip of the day: fire hurts) etc...
For some reason, I was incredibly incensed a month ago, when this review came out. I came back and watched it again to see why, and... I'm sure I brought up my issues with it in some post back then. This particular one struck a cord, because it's one of the few console games I've played, and therefore one of the few where I knew when he skipped text.
That wasn't even a review. I guess he really, REALLY meant it literally when he said same opinion as for Fallout 3.
*Shamelessly bumps topic*
I recently acquired Fallout: New Vegas and I must say that it's a lot of fun, especially on Hardcore mode (which I dove straight into, despite having never played any of the previous Fallout games).
It's funny, because it was this video that motivated me to get it and I only just realised the other day, while wandering around in third-person mode in the Mojave Wasteland, that the character I spent hours creating with the RobCo Reflectron actually bears a physical resemblance to Yahtzee, complete with spectacles and a jaunty fedora hat. ^.^
It doesn't help either that for the first hour of exploring Goodsprings, I stole everything that wasn't nailed down (Abraxo cleaner, pilot lights, alcohol, you name it) and was overencumbered with useless junk by the end of hunting tutorial with Sunny Smiles. >_>;
