Head on over to the forum thread (Literary Criticism in Regards to Flopped Plot Opportunities and the Human Noble Origin) to read the ongoing discussion.

And, of course, there’s Yahtzee’s take on Dragon Age, which is, as with all his Zero Punctuation videos, hilarious and spot on in that scathing-yet-there’s-a-bit-of-truth-there kind of way.

Check out this Japanese Obama action figure, featuring Obama with changeable hands and face (mouth closed or open) and posed in a suit with American flag! But bizarrely, also posed with dual katanas, various firearms, and a lightsaber. :)

Fallout 2 dialog for dumb characters

Categories: Games, Humorous Tags: ,, , , markdangerchen @ 7:56 am

This quarter I’m taking a class on hope in apocalyptic futures as portrayed in three media: film (Children of Men), text (The Road), and digital game (Fallout 2).

For my final project (it’s a light class), I decided to create a YouTube video showing off the humorous dialog a character with low intelligence has with various NPCs in Fallout 2. :)
