A bit creepy, eh?
NukeAssault @ Jun 19th 2008 12:34AM
Ha, i knew you could spin it but i didn't know about that. XD
theturtle363 @ Jun 19th 2008 12:36AM
That's pretty awesome
LaughingTarget @ Jun 19th 2008 10:52AM
It's creepy at the same time.

Wow, is that stupid and egotistical. I don't understand how this "game" could be interesting in the slightest.
Thief @ Jun 19th 2008 1:17AM
I welcome all sorts of easter-eggs... no matter how stupid they are!
This game however is to develop and see what your creations become. It's not meant to be fast-paced and competitive. Just something to sit back, relax and casually play.

..someone doesn't "get" it.

This is MY type of PC game. I prefer to have games on PC with minimal keyboard contact as I find it isn't suited brilliantly. I love games like Rollercoaster Tycoon for PC and even then it's the toying about, inventing and finding new stuff, that works well with these type of games. The game is just an excuse to be creative and imaginative. TV hasn't killed your imagination that much surely? (made me think of the Simpsons there)

As Will Wright admits it himself, it's because it's not technically a traditional "game" with rules and victory conditions; it's a toy, and believe it or not, people actually like toys.

My friend, who had never seen Will Wright before (didn't even know he was), was messing around with the menu and did this and freaked out haha. We quickly screen grabbed it and went to put it online, only to discover we were 2 days late :P

Who is your god now.

Oh, and there better be a bloody Yahtzee post today. Two weeks is giving me withdrawal symptoms. Better be a bloody good review to keep us waiting.
mr mobius @ Jun 19th 2008 2:34AM
Oh, never mind. Turns out he was away receiving an award (bout time) and has a new review on Escapist which I'll save untilglorious tomorrow. Am I becoming a fanboy of Yahtzee? Will I next begin to know what the hell his games are on about? Is it really such a big leap from Wii fanboyism to Yahtzee fanboyism? Shall I create a YDF? So many questions. Answer them o great and knowledgeable English dude with the funny hat!
