Yahtzee: I caught the signpost where one direction was labeled "Interesting Things," and the opposite direction was labeled, "Swindon."
May I commend to you Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series, starting with The Eyre Affair [http://amzn.com/0142001805]. Hopefully after reading, Swindon won't seem quite so dull and uninteresting.

If I am allowed to extrapolate a response from his love of Saint's Row 2, I'd go with this:Squilookle said:
"Basically if you are going to have a toy box that functions as a game, you can at least have the god given decency to make the toys work together. Most games that play this route tend to give you a toy box with nothing but broken ends that connect to nothing else and expect you to be happy. The toys in Saint's Row 2 were more like Legos. You could do just about anything you want but it always managed to connect back to the main game. The money had use as you can't always get what you want in a mission. The perks actually helped you be a bigger badass or simply suck less.
That's the trick. That's what I want. I don't want a box of broken toys with no point. I want a box of Legos that I can do what I want and still actually feel like I am making some form of progress."
*cough* Yea, I definitely lack his wit but I feel that is the heart of his gripe with toy boxes vs no toy box.
I agree that they probably like each other I just want to see the drama and hilarity these two can get going.
Here in the US the Ads suck we have watch a ridiculous Slim Jim (fake beef jerky if you don't have it there) commercial and I end up muting and playing solitaire everytime till its over.
meh, honestly didn't care about this game, and after hearing that it has
a) lots of grinding (GODFUCKINGDAMMITGRINDINGISLAZYGAMEDESIGN!)
and
b) honestly everything else about this game just sounds dumb, too.
I can be sure that I will likely never play it.

"A hack-n-slack game aimed specifically at gamers but exclusive to the Wii is like a Matisse masterpiece being exclusive to the Etch-A-Sketch."
Well done sir.

Just to prove how much like Travis I am (which is to say how much of a nerd I am), that manga/anime/light novel that Travis is holding when Yahtzee introduces him as a "massive nerd" is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Pretty much my thoughts, though I didn't miss the sandbox and I totally disagree with using the classic controller. The novelty of physically doing the killing blows is probably the most fun part of the game for me.
I love No More Heroes though, and this one is certainly welcome alongside the original.

Lol Yahtzee finally acknowledges the Rebecca Mayes thing. I still think her calling Yahtzee a misogynist was ridiculous, and I'm a second year possibly lesbian art student taking gender studies classes.
Gar. What about the crappy wrestling? Sure, wrestling moves are way more effective in Desperate Struggle, but they all look the same. Crappy. In the first one, you could wrestle every man, woman, and child (Except there are only men) and still have it be fun...and I liked the retro mini-games...
