Of Nerd Quotas and Other Matters

[cazrolime]

I think I may have filled my nerd quota for the week already. Last night there was a quiz at the pub down the road, and I went with a bunch of friends; at the end was a specialist round, eleven questions about Lord of the Rings, and I managed to get all of them.

BioShock! :D At the risk of being metaphorically drawn and quartered (or maybe REALLY drawn and quartered, if you figure out my address), I want to share this with you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGfZMDjtuAo

Hah. I saw you might not like this link and the source of your lj icon, and my first thought was "oh my blimey, Yahtzee did Bioshock 2 already?!?!?!" and I followed the link at a run, trailing punctuation.

I apparently failed to remember that ZP isn't on youtube, but whut, it's early in the morning. :P

Anyhow, that was hilarious-awesome. And I know this might be an odd thing to praise it for, but I think it was the most accurate bad review I've seen of the game. Yahtzee bugged me when he was complaining about steam-powered bots, since, well, the bots are not steam-powered. But in this one, stuff like "[da da da da beautiful projection effects] ...but failing to include a projector made me die a little" had me laughing so hard, partly because it's true. Oh Bioshock, you and your frustrating leaps of logic and reason. ♥

But in any case... *gets out the gibbet and bonfire* :P
