Well, I don't think you're being snarky. Some Star Wars gags work better than others, and I think it helps when there's more build-up, and perhaps delivered with slightly more finesse. It's like the difference between a joke told by a master of the craft, and that one guy you knew at school who'd always blow the…

Well, in the case of the Darth guy describing the delivery, it's a joke quoted almost verbatim from somewhere else. I can't remember the source, but I've heard it before (unless this clip's really old and predates what I saw the joke used on/in). I also wonder if Star Wars has perhaps been mined once too often for an…

The woman advertising the Carbonite looked an awful lot like Lorelei Martins from The Mentalist, which was distracting. Then Grant Imahara appears and makes me almost choke on the damn space cabbage I was eating. Mind you, it wasn't fresh. Should do something about that, if only there was a way to preserve something…

''But at what point do her doctors tell her she's had enough?'' when she's either out of money and they know she won't be able to pay them, or she meets one with a moral compass who knows this isn't going to cure her ills.

yeah, that's the one! It's been an awful long time since I played the game, but I remembered enough to know I was probably wrong with which term was used.

If they manage to successfully sue, then really the whole game's content is likely to get called up. Sure we have some public domain characters, but I'm sure someone, somewhere has some copyright. Maybe Bethesda have a Computer game exclusivity deal on depictions of Cthulhu. Maybe some Greek historian has claim to the…

In many ways, Lovecraft was ahead of his time. The whole idea behind the Necronomicon is fantastic, and was essentially a meme before the term existed. Likewise Cthulhu. I adore the idea of writers sharing ideas to create a mythos, and in this day and age we have more than just snail mail and the home phone to do it.

I'm looking at them, and thinking 'right, get ready to hum a theme tune from a '90s cartoon, because you foam cuties are gonna be EATEN by me, Rarrr!'.

Can I just say that game above is not based on Toxic Avengers, but the cartoon Toxic Crusaders which has so much fourth wall breaking humour that it permanently affected me. If not for how insane that cartoon was I don't think I'd like such jokes (and Disgaea would be much less humourous without it). Though of course…

I felt her personality was pretty well established in Metroid Fusion. She came across as someone trying to make a name for herself, who didn't like being spoken down to, but came to respect the main person responsible for it because of what he did for her, and the respect was mutual. In the end he used it as a term of…

Though I think they meant the video as a harmless joke, it kinda feels misguided enough to be a deliberate trolling of a cartoon my generation grew up with. I've not watched an episode since it originally aired. I don't have a huge love for it because I was so young when it started, but I still have fond memories, and…

*stops and pauses before the camera, then lets out a (not so) mighty rendition of'Tomorrow'* And now the 10,000th time someone's done that XD

The daftest thing is they still had them anthropomorphic, meaning they aren't scientifically accurate anyway. They also suggested Splinter was a rat, when he's a human who became rat-like, which isn't really the same thing (to the best of my knowledge, only his physiology was changed, not his brain, so he's basically…

I'm very happy to hear you get the entire map from the start. It's been one of the most ridiculous aspects of most Rockstar Open world games for so long now I almost thought they might perpetuate it as some sadistic running gag.

Like with so many people, my first FF was VII, but for the most part I agree with you about IX. The only things I disliked is the leveling once you reach the latter stages of Disc 3, and the Trance system (and Necron just for being Necron). But the cast of characters was so brilliant that I can't help but adore the…

Only partially related, but Madain Sari always -always- ends up sounding like Made in Surrey when I try to say it in my head. Maybe it's supposed to be 'Mah-Dane Sah-ree', but it's too late now.

Excluding any hype and such, I think it's more to do with the style of humour. DNF is very base in its approach, whereas Blood Dragon is basically an 80's film made into a game as if the technology of today existed then (or something). It's absurd and isn't likely to offend anyone. This instantly makes it 'better' to…

I kinda think it's a huge shame how little we see of Michael Beihn in films. I also grew up with The Terminator, Aliens, and The Abyss (damn that James Cameron!), and always thought the guy was pretty good-looking, and had a lot of screen presence, yet after these, he just kinda disappeared. I know of 'Time Bomb', a…

Aren't all white people awkward with frizzy hair? I'm white, and I don't have frizzy hair, but surely I'm the exception, right? Right?

It should be essential viewing for anyone, full stop. I adored that show so much growing up, and remembering it and so many other early Nickelodeon shows is a terrible reminder of what that channel's become. I'm unashamed of being 30 and still loving Cartoon network, even if only because of Regular Show and Adventure…
