This week… Nier?

That’s a far cry from what I was expecting.

I played it a little last night. It would be kind of a dull game except that after FF XIII it’s a wonderful breath of fresh air to see an actual open level without walls everywhere and to have NPCs – NPCs!!11one! – who will give you quests and repeat their stale old canned color lines. Stale old canned color dialog, how I missed you!

Dead To Rights: Retribution.

So, this was the…

Dead to Rights: Review

I want a mad ocelot god.

Great review, and I’ve never played any D2R:Recidivism.

Sounds like he wanted Dead To Rights: Refund, instead.

“And then you’re transported to some pocket dimension where pain is God and Jack Slate is POPE.”

The mad Ocelot god was priceless!

“No really, gaming is becoming incredibly mature and sophisticated” punctuated by the the flying dick cracked me up.

Yahtzee romps through Monster Hunter Tri, while the Escapist does its best to piss me off with some fruity ad border that links to a questionnaire about mumorpergers, except it’s not a questionnaire at all, but an interactive ad telling you how fucking great EverQuest fucking II is.

Seriously, what the fuck, Escapist? Go throw your marketing director out a cunting window.

Everquest II is fucking great ;)

You should’ve PM’d that to Not One of Us, along with a link to the EQ2 signup page. No one else would’ve seen it, but it would’ve been hilarious.

Oh god MY FUCKING EYES.

Fire the marketing director for EQII and Escapist, thanks.

I am not on nearly enough drugs to stare at that hideous goddamn ad border long enough to get through the whole video.

Must be an American thing. I don’t see anything purple-yellow ad-related.

You can’t handle the purple-yellow ad!

Don’t you understand, it’s IRONIC. It’s getting you to click on it by looking like bad web design so you click to find out who you should throttle!

And then when you’re irate you get pitched an ad, which thanks to the miracle of autonomic confusion will make you think you passionately love the product.

GENIUS.

I would happily kill 10 dogbabies to get rid of that border. Or just block images from cdn.themis-media.com. Whichever. Congrats guys, you plonked yourself. Hope it was worth it.
