I could act a little more irrational if you guys want? I could bring in the whole crowd to! Sand, Ares Draxus, Judge Hades, and Six Foot Rabbit. We could have a blast!

 

I think the only one you remember the password for is mine.

 

Yeah, I think you are right.

Isn't that what the password recovery feature is for? Also, I don't remember Ares Draxus. :bat:

 

And every time I see mention of Six Foot Rabbit my mind instantly goes to 6'8" Italian Warlord. :/

Its been such a long time since I have used them, the email accounts they were tied to are long gone.

He's mostly right, except for the battle system, which is really fun in FFXIII. Just not for the first 4-5 hours(which is bad, I know)

Well, every FF game I played takes about 10 hours in to really get going. That said I've no idea what FFXIII is like, and I didn't have the patience to play more than a few hours of FF XII. Apparently I've had my permanent fill of the FF experience with FFX and FFX2 (yuck). (and IV, VII, VIII)

Forget the whole series, FFVI is the best one!

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

I actually agree with one thing he said! Namely, if you're going to have an interactive story, don't add necessary info right into a datalogue in textformat. It should be interwoven with the story as you progress instead. It is quite irritating to have to read the damn thing all the time in order to understand the story, motives and characters. Did FFX need a silly datalogue? Of course not!

I got past the intro twice but didn't roll the will save to go further.

His review for God of War 3 is up......... and not very funny. Had some good bits though.

Usually we also provide a link to the video. Also there's an April fools thing.

He wasn't his usual chipper self.

Must be the Mana Bar finally getting him tired.

"Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

Does he have a cold or something? His voice sounded different...

... basically he opened a small bar in the city and it was ridiculously popular. Probably celebrated the opening night to death.

It's true.

 

How cool is that.

Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Boy, i need to finish God Of War sometime. I should have a save-file from 2005 laying around somewhere.

Ladies and gentlemen (and Oner), the moment you've all been waiting for: Just Cause 2.

 

It's pretty amusing and pretty true, except the vehicle upgrades part, they do in fact apply to all vehicles of the same type.

The problem is that there aren't that many of the special Rico vehicles around to find

Yeah, the Just Cause 2 review was more fun.

Why? Just Cause.

 

Cut him some slack, after all Just Cause was fodder for comedy. I can only imagine the poor folks who bought that game.

In a shocking twist, Yahtzee slips through the space-time continuum* and reviews the still relevant Splinter Cell: Conviction.

 

*

Another, less fun, possibility is that the game is just super short

 

This doesn't happen often, but by the mere description of the gameplay in SP: Conviction sounds horrible. Not, "bad", "mediocre" or "avarage", but really horrible.
