That's a series by a game design student often about story. Including an entire 8 minute diatribe about God of War as a series. He loved God of War 1, and hated 2/3 because 2/3's stories went to hell.

 

I just watched all of his videos. It's like Yahtzee without the insults. Highly recommended.

Wouldn't Yahtzee without insults be terrible?

 

Not really. He does bring good points between every insult here and there.

 

As for metroid, sheesh, how the mighty have fallen. That didn't just sound bad, it sounded atrocious.

A lot of game developers are here. Therefore, any new laws passed here would affect gamers around the world. Hardly surprising that a popular game critic would feel the need to chime in (I'm also guessing that he tracks his views and knows that a fair amount of his hits come from the U.S.).

This special episode of Zero Punctuation is a public service announcement brought to you by the ESA.

 

The what? The European Space Agency? neat.

And if this passes it also sets precedent for the entire world to follow suit. I hardly think that we are the only country with anti-game activists, plus it also hurts all game developers outside of the states that won't be able to move their product inside the US. More than likely they would make their games to fit the same standard just to keep a consumer.

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

There are more important issues to worry about than video game legislation.

Yep, there sure are.

 

Free speech is one of them and this definitely falls under that umbrella, so there goes that, huh? Again you obviously don't follow U.S. politics, so I don't expect you to get it.

 

P.S. if you don't care about video games, then being here sure seems like a waste of your time, eh (member for 6 years with almost 7,500 posts)?

 

And I still don't think that celebrities should get involved in politics.

 

LOL@"celebrities"

 

You're awesome, Purkake. Don't ever change.

Speaking of which, anyone else played that game? I downloaded the demo and it was really damn good.

"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!"

Didn't scare me. Made me extremely tense, but it didn't scare me. I'd say it's a 7/10 merely because it didn't scare me, but it scared everyone else. I'd suggest a buy because it's only $20 and Frictional Games is struggling, and it's a fun game.

Sounds like a good "i'll crap in my pants"-scare. It's been a while. System Shock 2 perhaps?
