Yeah, I picked this up in the amazon sale recently, and I have about 2-3 hours on it. It’s a really dreadful game - there is not one bit of the controls or animation or interaction with any game object that in any way appeals at any level. I don’t know if I am supposed to have stumbled upon the awesome story yet, but … I’m not sure I would notice! It’s that bad.
Aside from calling it a GTA clone, the only spoilerish bits seem to pertain to the player character’s situation which, since it is reflected in the experience bars in the game, is probably explained at the beginning of the game.

I ended up watching and it’s quite light on spoilers thankfully. Cheers for the heads up.
Fun game inspired by a recent Zero Punctuation about Black Knight Sword:
Retitle games by the formula [Color] [Dude] [Weapon].
Examples from Yahtzee:
Orange Nerd Crowbar (Half Life)
Brown Sweaty Racism (Modern Warfare)
Magenta Nutcase Kitchenfloor (Hotline Miami)
A few modest attempts–feel free to add your own:
Red Mustache Headstomp
Ashen Spartan Blender-blades
Sanguine P.O.W. Chaingun
Dun Horseman Headstab
Oh wow, thanks for waking up this thread! I totally forget about zero punctuation without this thread.
In the Bioshock Infinite ZP, Yahtzee may have set a bar too high for even him to beat in the future.
“As inevitable as a bear shitting on a Catholic in the woods, or however that goes.” With an appropriate little bear-on-a-pope picture in the corner.
Internet commentary has reached its pinnacle. There will never be better.
Also, he more or less liked the game.
He used the word great to describe it “…maybe even a great game”.
Considering how long I have been watching ZP, I think he likes it a lot. Just not as much as he liked Portal.
And the bear shitting on the pope in the woods joke was very funny.
“If you don’t like Portal, you’re stoooopid” is still one of my favorite lines.
OK, I’ve watched the review now. Damnit, now I really want to play Bioshock Infinite, which is an amazingly unlikely reaction after watching a ZP video. Oh, sure, I vaguely wanted to play it before, but was content to let it sit on my back burner, since I have a huge backlog right now. There’s all sorts of cool stuff he mentions that I did not know was in the game, since the ads are all about shooty-shooty stuff.
It’s awesome.
Also, that review was awesome.
Today’s installment is a next-gen buyers guide that I found hilarious and, sadly, accurate. Check it out.
It would be funny if it was over the top or exaggerated in some way. As it is, it’s just journalism with an annoying accent.
Tends to prefer animal tossing.
Animal Crossing:New leaf this week, had me laughing in a few places. Not in the least because ‘having a toss’ is a bit of a euphemism over here for masturbation.
I don’t understand why he’s fascinated by it. A long time ago I rented Animal Crossing to see what the fuss was about, and I was very quickly bored for pretty much the reasons he details in the review. I’m not sure if I lasted 2 hours, and I’m baffled as to how anyone would want to play it longer than that.

I think it’s interesting because it’s compelling without actually being fun, just like the Facebook games Yahtzee compared it too. You’re subconsciously sucked in by the grind. Also, if you try to piece together a coherent story from the games events, it gets pretty crazy. That’s not to say that I actually like the game, though.
I once got bit by a month-long case of the Animal Crossing bug. It was very instructional for me: when I find myself feeling the same way with other games, warning lights start going off, and I back away slowly.
Yahtzee’s not a big fan of CoD: Ghosts.

Great last line in his Broken Age review. Why do I keep forgetting to check out the latest Zero Punctuation video? Is it because I prefer to watch seven or eight new ones in a row? Because that’s what I’m doing now.
Does anyone know how to get in touch with this dude?
He is well protected.
“Get in touch with him?” Why do you want to get in touch with him?
