Zero Punctuation is a weekly online video review done by a guy named Yahtzee, who is very, very funny. If you like to laugh, even if you don't play games, you'll enjoy his reviews. It does help if you play games, though. Here's a link, and I'd embed videos if I knew how to do that on this forum. (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater.

Bahaha yes, he is hilarious. I especially liked his Bioshock review.
But there are only two endings, a good one and a bad one, and the extreme contrast between them is rather jarring. In the good ending, you're a virtuous flower child, with love and a smile for all the shiny coated beasts of god's kingdom, and in the bad ending you're some kind of hybrid of Hitler and Skeletor who's very piss is pure liquid malevolence. I'm sick of games that claim to have choice, but they'd only come down to either Mother Theresa or baby eating. All I'm saying is that a little middle ground is nice now and then.
Maybe it's because my heart is a dried up little rotten apple of cynicism, but when a game gets overhyped, it's more likely to make me suspicious than excited, so I was mentally prepared for Bioshock not living up to the claims that it would descend from heaven in a silvery chariot and lead us to the promised land. Which is not to say that it's bad, it's just shallower than was advertised. I suppose if you got the XBox version and were used to insipid boom-fests like Halo, then Bioshock will seem like the shit, but if you're a long time PC gamer spoiled by more complex FPSRPGs, then you're in for a kick in the balls; maybe a gentler kick in the balls than most, an extremely pretty, well executed kick in the balls with the best of intentions, but at the end of the day you're still walking funny.

This guy has the ultimate sarcastic wit.
What MBTI type would he be anyway?
