Zero Punctuation - Yahtzee reviews
That's what I'm saying. More reviewers should harsher.

Zero Punctuation - Yahtzee reviews
Considering how game reviews consistently label games as brilliant when those games are just more of the same, I think more critical reviews like Yahtzee's are one of the things the games industry needs to improve the rate of innovation. Take Bioware, for example. Why would they strive to improve their design formulas, if every single game they release is met with almost universal praise? Game journalists should be more critical, both in reviews and in previews. I mean, even NWN1's OC got fantastic praise at the time of release.

What you did today ...
I just saw the Australian Open Women's final. Sharapova won. Seeing as it's past 4 in the morning here, I'll be going to sleep now

Heavy Rain Tech Demo
Well, the bit in the park was also nice, and I generally like Winona Ryder, but other than that you're quite right.

Woohoo! How's that album coming along? Beatles - Yellow Submarine

For AGP users
I'm guessing that, apart from maybe the Athlon, all those processors would be a bottleneck on the PC's performance already.

For AGP users
Even the highest of the high end motherboard(for its time) with AGP is asking for a mercy killing, by now.

What are you playing now?
I always ignore "use magical device."

Driving Manual/Stick
Here in Portugal, the question doesn't even come up. Everybody drives manual. Everybody. Even my Mum thinks auto is for wusses.

Anyone seen these shows?
I just saw a couple of clips of that on Youtube, and it was mostly awful.

What mythical beast are you?
Does "Dragon" mean boring, or something?

What mythical beast are you?
You're a hydra. You have many different outlooks on life, and know how to utilize each one to make the best of any situation. Others may mistake this for hypocrisy or even insanity, but you know yourself better than that. Indecision is your greatest flaw. Your alignment tends slightly towards *evil*. Not totally inaccurate, actually.

World stock markets plummet in tandem
It's just SUVs, all the different types of cars sold in America consume more than cars sold in Europe and Japan. USA UK Note that the figures in the UK page are in imperial MPG so the difference isn't quite as large as the figures might indicate at first. There's still quite a difference, of course.

Just got Gothic 3...
I found Gothic 2 to be great, just not very accessible, and it took quite a while to get going with the fun.

World stock markets plummet in tandem
An American car spends much more than an equivalently sized European or Japanese car. It's a question of market demands.

Which would you choose
I choose Raccoon City. It's known for being populated by very stupid and slow people, which makes surviving a lot easier. As long as a powerful, invisible grand designer doesn't hold your legs while you attack them, of course.

What are you playing now?
The Witcher has one of the best special editions ever.

Bioshock
The System Shocks had resurrection chambers similar to the ones in Bioshock, with a few gameplay balance differences that made a proper alternative to the quick save and load schtick. The differences were that they had to be activated, had a usage cost, and only restored a minimal amount of your health meaning was a free ride, and thus compensating for the advantages a simple resurrection brought. I'd say that the Vita Chambers in Bioshock are basically a broken version of the QBRMs.

Bioshock
They've already done that. In SS1 and SS2.
