Well looks like somebody* is going to have a good Christmas.

Absolutely. Opening a new level was at once, like you said, a massive accomplishment and also deathly terrifying, because you had no idea how much of a bastard this next level was going to be. Damnit, I want to play it RIGHT NOW.

At the end of the movie, they join forces to take on this guy.

Hah, almost certainly the game. Just the first level boss of EJ1 would cause me to violently spin around spewing language that would make a sailor blush.

I think Earthworm Jim unlocked what would go on to be a long standing relationship between me and creative swearing.

Hnnnng. Goddamnit Nintendo. I don't need another 3DS.

Fucking hell. I... I can't even comprehend what in the ever loving hell would possess someone to think like that, let alone fucking say it.

It's Friedrich Nietzsche - from "Beyond Good and Evil".

And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.

I'm really, really disappointed at this news. I loved the hell out of the first (played on PC) and was greatly looking forward to the sequel.

That disappointed look on Michael Moore's face is palpable.

I see you've played car-y, roly-koala-y before...

Hopefully this means that half a second lag between camera angle changes will no longer exist. I mean, I was OK with it 12 years ago (bloody hell!), but I tried replaying it on my Gamecube recently and it drove me mad #undeadproblems

I've tried to watch these videos, but - like you - I barely make it to 30 seconds before I stop watching. Awful.

Sorry, ignore that - thought your reply was to me.

The site has just been updated - Chrom doesn't have a character page :(

Considering the Rayman trophy reveal, I'm betting on an Ubi character. Heart wants Jade from Beyond Good and Evil. Head is pretty sure it'll be Rayman himself.

Is that Kevin (Osric Chau) of Supernatural fame? Awesome!

Indeed. For me, his defining film was The Long Good Friday. C'mon, Kotaku, take Super Mario Bros out of the title...
