Yahtzee's first post-Zero Punctuation's review. Basically still the same, but updated art style. And he can swear more.

If you like horror The Oldest View is decent.  The last one made me scream at least once.

If anyone wants someone talking about books, mainly fantasy and sci-fi, in a voice that can comfortably put you to sleep, then check out this guy's channel.

I'm not big into Steampunk, but him going back to the roots of the genre had me more interested than I expected.

Interesting, but it's curious that he only passingly mentions cyberpunk as an inspiration for steampunk.

I'd agree with his conclusion that steampunk isn't as good now that it is mainstream (or, perhaps, that it's simply much harder to find good steampunk amid the noise).

Dunno if anybody else has been following the Billy Mitchell craziness but I found this just under 4 hour documentary immensely entertaining.

What's the story?

Back in the 80s Billy Mitchell got the high score in Donkey Kong, then in the early 2000s there was a documentary about him and other players that beat that record called King of Kong.  After that point he set a couple more records at Donkey Kong on "original hardware".  Several years later it was proved that the later records, including one at the end of the documentary, were set on MAME.  The records were removed once it became indisputable.  He's been denying that it was on emulated hardware and suing bunches of people for defamation.  Now there was a deposition earlier this year that is rather hilarious for an inveterate liar.

Once interesting is the thoroughness of the evidence, the vehemence of Billy Mitchell's denial, his lies about other things (like being proclaimed the Video Gamer of the Century), the intersection with online confusion about the whole matter and the pointlessness of it all considering the records have been thoroughly surpassed by others.

Seems to be quite a hot debate but according to this guy...Italian food is actually American

Haven't seen SNL in many years but this was actually pretty good

Laboratory chicken tastes pretty good but currently takes more energy to create than legacy chicken.
