That old, torn baseball cap....he looks like a redneck. Also, the title of the video has a typo.

"Avallone" I wonder if it's intentional? :lol:

Also, his favourite game seems to change every week. He just had an interview about his favourite game and said it was close between Wasteland and System Shock 2, now it's Chrono Trigger. :lol:

Chaotic Neutral. :incline:

Equilibirum would have to be a pretty heavy shooter, interesting pick.

"Codex or Watch?"
"Ooh...different reasons, Codex"

:martini:

The Splelling was not intentional. :? I do appreciate that some folks found it funny though!
After hearing about it I rushed to re-export and picked the wrong cut, this last one is slightly rearranged and with a touch better sound mixing.

Soz for the take downs. Here's the video -->

I see equilibrium as more of an rpg than a FPS, theres no way you can do gun-kata any justice with an FPS.

It might be more informative to ask him what he wanted Wild Wasteland to be. To my eyes, it's "special casey" by definition.

YCS/186 is a perfectly fine in-joke considering it fits in with Tim Cain's rule that if a person doesn't know it's a reference, they won't believe it is one.

Ahem... http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_2_cultural_references
:deathclaw:

That said, I'm not a fan of the pop culture shit at any rate. At least I could choose to *not* partake with Wild Wasteland. I wish they'd had that for Fallout 2.

Those were campy, but not remotely obscure.

Whereas YCS was a bad, unfunny, culturally irrevelant forum filled with pedo shitlords posting hentei. I can see why Josh liked it.

I would much prefer running into a reference that I don't know what it is (like YCS), and that doesn't impact my actualy game, than finding myself at the Monty Python bridge of doom area in Fallout 2 (which happened to me the very first time I played the game) for example.

Wait, Chris being an ego lord? Is this the same person that this guy is writing about?

I watched a couple of episodes of The Wire Saturday night and MCA is turning into the major that hates the main character.
