Right, and I think that it was on purpose that Nintendo prevented Link from every saying more than HIIIYYAAA. You identify with him. When you play a "Zelda" game, you do feel like you're the one saving Zelda. At least, I did.

Isn't Team Fortress 2 like that? Pretty gruesome kills, and yet there's something frivolous about it. Basically all because of the art style, which, at first glance, looks very similar to this.

Mario and Sonic, sure. But I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit here and let you bad mouth Zelda's "story". Sure, it's super cliche, but they created a lot of lore around that series. I did care about Link. Zelda... meh. Yeah, she was hot, but she was only made of like 16 pixels. Plus, "I" (Link) did all the work, and it…

I actually didn't know about it until this article :(

I disagree entirely. Since AD is best watched more than once, I plowed through the first season over the weekend. I watched episode one again today. I plan to watch the whole season again over the course of the next month or so. That way, I'll catch most of the references that happen all the way at the end of the…

I wouldn't exactly say for no reason. He's hit rock bottom and has completely run out of options.

Sounds like Breaking Bad. I made this epiphany about halfway through season 2 that the show is demonstrating in a "meta" way how a junkie's addiction can bring you so low, and yet you just keep wanting more. Not sure if this was intended by the show's creators, but judging from the high calibre of the entire show, I…

It's like Dark Souls but in real life. If only the people could leave warnings posted on their bodies with their dying breaths.

Huh. What I didn't consider until reading your post is... will this kill Red Box's Xbox games? It certainly seems like it would. You'd pay Red Box for the disc, then you'd have to pay a fee to use the disc. No, thank you.

Meh. Almost every video game genre is extremely generic and could describe 90% of all games.

DUNGEON KEEPER. I was just reminiscing about this game like a week ago. What a great game.

Unless they check for double entries and disqualify you. Seed of doubt, planted.

Haha I knew it was weird that the crowd was cheering every time they said "Xbox exclusive!" Who the hell wants exclusives? Any smart customer wouldn't. "YEAH SHOVE IT IN THEIR LITTLE PLAYSTATION FACES!"

please please please please please

By the same token, the xbox 360 is basically just a PC with an xbox 360 controller. Oh, wait, I can plug my 360 controller into my PC. So, what does that make the 360? Useless? If so, why did so many people buy it?

Oh, is there such a thing?

Dear lord... Dr. Funke is Dr. Wily's boss!!

Once you see, you cannot un-see. See?

It's still funny to me that this genre and the tower defense genre basically spawned from player-made Blizzard maps. Dota from Warcraft III and tower defense from Warcraft II and StarCraft. Now it's seeming like it's quickly becoming more popular than FPS's. Just goes to show, flattery is the sincerest form of ripping…

Scorched. Earth.
