@reaper1545 My ringtone is "PISSIN BLIMY THERE'S JAM COMN OUT THE WALLS" and "Abloogy Woogy Woo" is my text sound.

'unmatched as a constipation aid' now there's a quote to put on a game case....

The mannequin scene in Nightmare House 2 gets my award for scariest game scene of all time. I literally shit my shorts in fright.

"Oh? Mannequins? I bet they'll attack me! *runs up and hits them*. No? I'll carry on then. *WHACK* AHA! I Knew....it? Holy fuck they moved!"

And that bit with the special forces soldier banging on the glass. Run into the room with him thinking your safe and...HOLY FUCK HE'S A MANNEQUIN!

It took me twenty minutes to finish that section. I shit you not!

"OH PISSING BLIMEY THERE'S JAM COMING OUT OF THE WALLS!".

I vote this for funniest Yahtzee comment of all time.

Having played the demo for Amnesia, I probably won't get it. Not because it's badly, but because I might run out of clean underpants in the first hour playing it.

@kiraina25 Yeah I had to gather pieces to enter the inner sanctum

[kiraina25]

@kemando12 Y'mean the Choir? You were almost there if you got that far in the game, man. o.o

[kemando12]

I got to the part with the red room, with all the smoke... and I said FUCK IT. Quit playing, too scary. lol

I love how he just hangs a lampshade on his fanboying over the game. It can be summed up with "Amnesia isn't a perfect game, but it's almost unmatched as a constipation aid."
