I don't think he has a "rule" about not giving scores, he just doesn't think a complex opinion can be properly represented with a number.Evil the White said:

I don't know why everyone's making such a huge deal out of the stars. It just fit with the limerick...don't freak out about it.
Please don't do it again, don't find limericks funny, clever maybe, funny no.
It is often commented that communication between people is 90% non verbal (can argue the percentage, but broadly it is true) and therefore I say verbal communication has the same bias i.e is depends less on what you say but how you say it ("its the way I tell'em!")
Limericks straight jacket the humour in monotone pitch, fixes the pace to "dum dum diddy dum diddy dum dum" and forces strained rhyming convensions which undermine the message.
I give it 2 stars.

Well, been a while since I commented on one of these, but well done on that. That actually worked very well as a review I think.
Also, how could I tell someone was going to say that in response to him at some point, regardless of thread?
Well, I was completely shocked when I noticed his suspension was coming to an end, but we really should've seen this one coming, Zeeky. Suspensions need to end some time. Anyway, welcome back, Kukul!Zeeky_Santos said:Gah! he's back! I was starting toKukul said:Thanks Yahtzee for making such a sweet video to celebrate my return

Yahtzee, you rocked my socks with this one. Limerick form... could I persuade you to write a song for the next one?
"Wolfenstein"? Is that the best they could come up with for a title? Esp. since apparently it's not even a remake. It seems the developers have axed all the really creative people and hired a team of drones to replace them. I mean surely they could have come up with a better title then that. Even "Revenge of Wolfenstein" would've been better. Or how about "Wolfenstein: The Next Generation", "Bride of Wolfenstein", "Wolfenstein the 13th", "Nightmare on Wolfenstein", "Freddy vs Wolfenstein", "Wolfenstein X"... I could go on. Or maybe they could've slapped an arbitrary number on the end of it, add it to collection of current generation sequels with fours attached to their titles. Anything to tell us that this game IS a sequel and not a half assed remake.

Oi- what's wrong with The Spy Who Loved Me? Perfectly balanced is what that bond film is- easily Moore's best. And we all know what happened when they decided not to be so 'safe' with the next one- a certain Moonraker...
And I'd be all in favour of 'Escape from Castle Wolfenstein' That is... if the last one ended still inside it.
