I actually own the game you're looking for. It didn't rate too well, but don't let those false prophets at Gamespot make up your mind for you.

Nicole Atkins - The Way It Is

That's so cute.

I'm listening to all the music, and these are like the funniest song names ever.

Pixies - Dead

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

Yeah, I've come to hate everything about the Mako. I hate climbing mountins with it. I hate driving it, especially sometimes when I try to drive backwards away from enemies and it does this turnaround that and I sit there for a minutes trying to turn around while I get shot by rockets. OH yeah, I loathe combat in the Mako. I hate it with a super passion. There are two ways combat can work with the Mako. The first way is to act in a way that the name implies, and circle and keep moving around your target, while shooting your guns and heavy artillery cannons, like a real shark. This is the way that works the best. Unfortunetely, and I assume I'm not the only one here, but me having to do that is like me going to a party and picking up women. Sure, I'll get in one or two lucky shots, but at the end of the night, I'm going to strike out, and be all alone. Except, in Mass Effect, at the end of the night after you've struck out and not hit anything, you're not all alone, you're surrounded by roocket troopers and Geth Armetures. So really, the analogy doesn't make any sense and you die. The second way is to stay stationary while you aim and shoot. Unfortunetely what inevitabaly happens is that by the time you manage to fire off a round or two from your heavy artillery, you end up having sustained a ridiculous ammount of damage and are forced to retreat over the mountainside and heal, all the while the emasculating shame of running away from a few Geth while Ashley decides she could never be with a sissy like you and starts making out with Carth right in front of you, eats away at you, initially only inflicting one wound leaving you to flail around in your own blood and entrails until you are too weak to fight back, like a shark. Like a Mako shark. So you continue to shoot cover and heal over and over again, each time allowing the enemies sheilds to regenerate only prolonging the torture. Sometimes you'll get fed up and just ram into them, and that works sometimes. But sometimes like when you're surrounded by three armetures, four rocket turrets, and seven geth soldiers, it doesn't work.

I don't disagree about him having valid points. I'm not saying that because he's entertaining that his points aren't valid. I'm not taking Hell Kitty's stance and saying that there isn't enough to the arguments he's making. I'm saying that I don't think the way he presents his points is a good way to present the points he is making if his goal was to actually change something in the gaming market. As in, you'll catch more flies with honey than with vinnegar. I agree, saying he's just an entertainer and as a result his points don't hold water is dismissive, and that's why I don't think more reviews should be like his, because it's easy for people to dismiss it. So if someone wanted to change something in the market, they would have to do so in a way that wouldn't outright offend the people making the games, by comparing the game to a diaper filled with whatever clever game related one-liner he comes up with. That's all I meant.

Crap, someone posted before me and now my post looks like it is saying something it isn't.

I agree with that, I'm just saying that it's understandable for some people to disregard his reviews as a whole, and that if there really was some sort of intent to change something about games as a whole, then his approach cerainly isn't helping to make his case. I don't disagree with the notion that he is correct in his assesments of games. I might be getting a little off track from what I was originally trying to say, which was in response to Pop seemingly saying something elitist about how the reason people shrug off what this Yahtzee guy says is because he's being funny, and how people who don't agree with Yahtzee do so because they can't understand that comedy can say something worthwhile. I'm saying that I'm more inclined to believe he is exagerating things, for the purpose of entertainment, and as such, he may have some basis for his complaints, but on a whole he exagerates, and throws in some swear words and allusion's to poop to get more views. I'm just saying, I could understand why his reviews wouldn't hold a lot in the way of being constructive.

So I finished the game last Sunday, as the biotic/fighter class. Sentinal? Anyway, I was only level 33, and probably had less than 20 hours invested. So I started a new game as an Adept, and I'm trying to do EVERYTHING. I might go out and buy a game guide just to be sure. I'm really getting sick of visiting planets on the Mako though.

It isn't him being funny that keeps people from taking it seriously, I think it's just that fact that almost all of his reviews show the games negatively, and how much he throws ****+word in to the review, that makes it seem more like gimmiky entertainment, and less like a review.

From the looks of it, so will Fallout 3.

Only on rated M games.

Pixies - No. 13 Baby

And if you elect me, I promise that all sex scenes will have no less than three penetration shots. That's a Lou Gutman promise! Vote for me!

So you don't even play career mode? You should really try it. It's really fun to customize your cars. I should show you some of the stuff I've done. I even made an Obsidian Entertainment car.

What racer level are you? And how many cars are in your garage?

Too bad Mass Effect doesn't have online co-op. Too bad nobody here has Forza Motorsport 2. I urge you all to get Forza Motorsport 2.

I meant to say now instead of no

I thought Call of Duty four would only be fifty dollars, but it was sixty, and I've only got seventy in cash, so I'm waiting until I get some more money, at least eighty.

No here in Michigan, core temperature isn't as cold, but boy, that wind'll kill you.

That's how it is for me.

The B-52s - Party Out of Bounds

I assume she'll still do me, I just stopped playing after the point in the game that I mentioned, and haven't had a chance to continue playing.
