A Telltale Autopsy
What lessons can we learn from the abrupt demise of this once-impressive games studio?
Silent Hill Turbo HD II
I was trying to make fun of how Silent Hill had lost its way but I ended up making fun of fighting games. Whatever.
PC Gaming Golden Age
It's not a legend. It was real. There was a time before DLC. Before DRM. Before crappy ports. It was glorious.
Diablo III Retrospective
We were so upset by the server problems and real money auction that we overlooked just how terrible everything else is.
The Best of 2015
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2015.
I really need to know whether this is anything like the real game. My sister wants to get it, but I don’t think she wants to commit suicide.

… I guess you’ve got your answer, Kel’Thuzad.
Thats it bring Oprah into it! DOUBLE WAMMY! A Body Mass Index of OVER 9000!!!!
Wow. The panel with “Am I right?” followed by two “Yes” options really got me. Bravo.
I saw him Sunday and he lost some weight, folks. Such a good boy.
Kel'Thuzad, it’s nothing like that, LOL. The only thing is, if she has any possibly serious body issues (dysmorphia, anorexia, etc.) it could exacerbate things, because it’s a little crack-addled as to what “fat” is, since (duh) it’s a simple machine and calculates things simplistically. Other than that, it’s a lot of fun, and I’ve been enjoying using it.
i would consider getting a wii fit, but apparently i am too large to actually exercise on it.
i ought to grind their bones to make my bread…
The timer-thing in the last panel made me think of the neurotoxin-timers from Portal. Nice job
breaking it, heromaking me automatically associate Wii Fit with GLaDOS, Shamus. ;)Personally I have always found having the only options for a yes/no answer question to be “Yes” and “Maybe” extremely hillarious.
Lanthanide: I couldn’t decide between “Yes/Yes” or “Yes/Maybe”., or which one was “funnier”. It was more or less a coin toss at the end.
How about “Yes/Yes, but…” (though I guess the button’s too small for that last one). :)
Looks like they changed where it is (bad link?)Shamus-I keep getting a 404, but when I visit the site and hit latest it comes up.
I liked the ‘Favorites’ Button. My favorite way to crucify myself? Tori amos? No….. Ice cream? YES!!!!
Sadly, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard complaints about WiiFit. Not a good buy, especially since most people stop using it after a month or so.
Personal opinion? “Yes/Yes” fit the personality of the Wii Fit better. Do ya really think after all of its rant it was going to give you a chance to weasel out of anything [grin]?
The answer to your question: No. It’s not just you.
“Brain Age” isn’t much nicer. It’s all very Japanese. Shaming, but passively so.
However, I sometimes wonder if the Japanese versions of these games don’t tell players that their “Emperor is a God” and they should “bomb the harbor, once their BMI hits 25.” Can anyone translate the Japanese? ;)
(Hey! My “Wavatar” changed!)
Maybe you need a different game. How about, Weight Fat?
