I found the simplest way to breath on Mars is to learn how to breath Carbon Dioxide. It's easy! You just have to find a Sage Tree and have it teach you the ways of being a plant!

See, I don't have an iPhone because I'm not Apple's *****. The thing simply costs too much and I have better things to spend money on like food. It's also why I don't have any consoles.

Just to say, I suppose going out to partys and not onwing a next gen console has helped me breathe on mars. Or did that help me keep my sanity in north east Germany? I am not really sure here.

On another note, it seems Yahtzee can't learn from bad sonic experiences, just like I can't seem to learn not to click on the weird links some of my friends like to send. Sonic, by now always seems to be a bad experience and the links are usually almost worth gouging my eyes out so I forget the image, or video.

How do I breathe?
Simple. By not letting Steve Jobs shove his metaphorical iDick down my throat.

I don't want nor need an iPhone.

see, i have an iPod, so the whole mars question doesn't really apply to me. thank you middle upper class parents of kid who's iPod i took :)
Are you seriously acting all smart, because you're such a scumbag you stole from someone.

I went to a rather enlightened school... we used to walk around in packs and put people like you in hospital... there's nothing better than seeing the look of gratitude in a someone's eye's as he looks at the smear that used to be the person who victimised him.

I wish adulthood worked that way.
I can see you have some rage to work out, but i don't think the op said he achually stole from some-one. And even if he did threating to beat some-one to death is frowned upon in polite socilty. Now if only i could spell....

Sorry. Will never get an iPhone. Happy Android user here. That said, at least two of those games are also available on Android, and they are pretty fun. Though I will say this: all this talk I hear about Game Dev Story, and you don't try that?

...And will we ever get a double review of VVVVVV and Super Meat Boy?
...Okay, forget Game Dev Story. This needs to be done. Let's drive Yahtzee through a bunch of brutally hard platformers.

The best games on the ipad/iphone so far is in my opinion the monkey island remakes (only on the ipad, the screen is too small on the iphone), PvZ and Minigore.

Beyond not having an Iphone, i haven't even had any Iproducts. The closest thing I've had to an Iproduct is the Itunes schools keep obliviously on their computers. Scratch that, I did hold an Ishuffle for a friend once for some odd reason, but do note my skin did visibly try to escape from under it.

Alright, you want innovation and a game that is different from all the games in the series up to this point, you need to check out Kirbies epic yarn. They throw out the "change into what you eat" mechanic in favor of "use a set number of transformations interchangable to reach your goal." The whole "Yarn" deal isn't just in the art style but actually effects the gameplay, the story, and the very feel of the game. It is quite easy, you can't actually die, but the challenge is more of "collecting every little gem in a level for a score at the end."

I quite liked this, being a iPhoney, it was interesting because I did not own any of these games and he sounded so calm and levelheaded.
It was weird that there was no real rant in this, but I dug the change of pace.

How to breathe on Mars.

First, spend most of your waking hours on a computer with internet access (if you're visiting the Escapist's website, you're likely to be a gamer. That indicates that you have next to no social life anyway).

Second, don't be a texting whore.

Violà. You can breathe on Mars and are capable of holding a real conversation with people, assuming you can come out of the cave you keep your computer and Cheetos in long enough to find yourself making eye contact with anyone.

He did have a lovely point about seemingly ever other industry just desperately chasing whatever seems to be popular however, instead of....just making good stuff and hoping people like good stuff.

for instance, FPS's, motion control, and MMO's. We had Modern Warfare, the Wii and WOW, and now people just keep throwing cash at those three things, hoping lightning made of gold will strike twice, instead of making some new good things and selling those to us. Seems to be a case where the marketing budget is more than all the creative budgets.

Could be a similar feel on TV, at least in the UK, where if the BBC shows "celebrity skydiving knitting challenge" and it gets viewers, ITV clear most of saturday night for "Superstar Deathplunge Crotchet featuring Vernon Kay" with Dermot O Leary hosting 'Deathplunge Crotchet EXTRA!' on ITV3 an hour later.

You know the worst part of this? I'd probably watch Superstar Deathplunge Crochet...at least once, even tho the BBC one would be of higher quality.

Oh breathing on Mars is easy, so long as you can settle for air that isn't Apple branded.
