So, the fact that I picked up Eternal Darkness for less than $10 about 2-3 years ago (With disc, case, manual, and all) is an event planned by the angels?
GameCube games are not that hard to get ahold of, nor that rare. I think the rarest GC game I've seen is MGS: Twin Snakes and I've seen that on a few occasions.

For strategy in Thousand Year Door, I choose between a Mario ability/buff badge focus[small](can also be subdivided into jump or hammer focus)[/small] or a companion ability/buff badge focus. You can't equip everything so there is some room to specialize.
Oh, Yahtzee. You forgot to mention the best parts! The story unfolds with Peach negotiating and navigating her way to unveiling the core of the villain's plot, and Bowser always follows that act with some one-step-behind shenanigans, making him not only a comic relief but also an established miniboss (as opposed to Koopa Egg-boy or whatever).
Do you realize that Zero Punctuation has been going on so long there's a review for Super Paper Mario from back when it actually came out?

(I was a little surprised when I finally got around to playing it and learned that you don't really need to spend 15 minutes on the treadmill, but it certainly is clear at numerous points that the developers were thoroughly content to waste the player's time.)

Yo, Yahtzee, if your schedule allows it, and if the gods may smile to have Nintendo remember Australia, review Kirby Planet Robobot. I wanna actually hear what you think. And, your only Kirby review has been of Epic Yarn, an anomaly from the normal series, so I want to see what you think of the Kirby proper series as well as the newer parts of it. Should be fun. Maybe even more fun than hatfall who knows?
Uncharted 4 came out last Tuesday, Doom came out last Friday. Yahtzee's schedule typically has him about two weeks behind new releases because he starts "production" the week before a video goes out (give or take a few days if you include time taken to, you know, actually play the games).Bob_McMillan said:
This has been pretty common practice for him for years, now. I'm not sure why people are still surprised.
nice to see him review a nintendo game that's not crap.. what a rarity these days (a good nintendo game that is)

I think that after the GameCube and Xbox were crushed by the PS2, Nintendo decided to associate everything that console was a failure. Pikmin is the only IP that survived that period, because Mario Sunshine was the first underwhelming Mario game, Luigi's Mansion praise wouldn't come until much later and that system has the worst Wario game, no wonder the Wario series simply stopped. Maybe if the Gamecube had gotten the praise it deserves, the Wii wouldn't have happenned.
What happened to your game PSAs Yahtzee? This could've easily been something to explain how the Gamecube was probably one of Nintendo's greatest gaming achievements and how the Wii was entirely unnecessary. I can still hear the jingle now:
~Let's all learn 'bout an industry that never learns anything, tee hee hee~

All I can remember is the dragon that wanted you to sniff his feet (or was it lick them?). Still grosses me out.
