Yahtzee himself pwns though. He has that accent I hear loads in British documentaries. I like foreign accents, that sound way cooler than my own "used-to" tone lol. You also get used to his fast talking once you've watched several of his reviews lol.

Why? Why is it so hard to believe I have played his games.

You know what Jay. I bet YOU haven't.

Lol yeah, his reviews are great. Now, whenever I read an article or review, I read it as if Yahtzee was saying it.

Well I have because I'm old enough to play point and click adventures and I find it hard to believe you've acquired a taste for them.
Discworld/Monkey Island YEAH

Discworld was good. Myst is the best though.

They get better and more detailed as they go, and the random devices and mechanisms get increasingly insane. Story is excellent too.

What didn't you like about it?

Every man to his own, I say.

EDIT: They're bringing out Myst I on DS

What, because I'm young I'm immune to fun albeit old style?

Don't be so ageist Jay. I have Discworld Noir sitting next to me right now. Right next to Sam the Sorcerer I and II.
