As some of you may know (mostly those in chat, whenever I manage to attend one) I have an ol' fashion pen and paper roleplaying night every Wednesday. It started off as AD&D, then moved onto Vampire: The Masquerade, and now we're doing Star Wars. It's a lot of fun, and a couple of friends of min...

Thanks to the kindness of one of my flatmates, I finally got to give Tim Schafer's newest heavy metal-themed action game a go. I never got to play Psychonauts, but did thoroughly enjoy Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle, and this game definitely feels more like the latter than the former. Sure, i...

Since three of them are already there (Gynecaladriel, Leegola and Larius) I think that should answer the question. :) I decided to put them in since they seemed like AU variants of the characters to me, just like all the ones from The Farnsworth Parabox. I realise there's a slight difference when th...

I think the concern seems to stem from the idea that Marvel will suddenly be ultra sanitised and kid-ified basically; that Wolverine will start getting drawn all cute, appearing in Kingdom Hearts games and never using his claws, there'll be no blood anymore, nothing more than PG, etc. That said, Gar...

I think it was a Zapp thing. If it had been any other man, he probably would have taken it a lot better.

I didn't really mind it. It seemed in-character for both Amy and Zapp. Had Kif been alive at the time I'd have been up in arms, but it seemed to fit given the circumstances and... well... Zapp being Zapp. I guess it depends on how things go from here for them... I'd probably hate it if they didn't w...

I'd like to think that Groening and Cohen would say "if we don't get the original voices, then there'll be no more Futurama."

The thing is, one actually has to try and go for the nonination I believe. I believe The Simpsons tried back in Season 3 or 4 or something, but didn't even get the nom and then just decided to go into the animated category instead because they didn't think they'd stand a chance in the Comedy categor...

I'm about to get this now. Should be great... the original game revamped!

I haven't got it myself, but there is a mod out there that apparently gives you more freedom with the Create-a-Sim sliders so you can go a little more extreme. Of course, that wouldn't help the lack of hair options.

Lou and Eddie perhaps. Captain McCallister (perfect use of the trait "Angler" there), Luigi, Kent Brockman, Mayor Quimby.

And might I suggest throwing in a random Rusty Venture

Yeah... I have to agree here. I actually meant to bring that slight niggle up in the review, but then forgot and ran out of time, since I was writing it just before I had to leave for RPG night. Yeah, there do seem to be a few things that were pretty much considered as standard like the piano and ho...
