Zoey or Batman…?

Posted by spiii on December 15th, 2011 @ 23:10

Nana-nana nana-nana nana-nana-na — BATMAN!

Seen spiii playing nothing butBatman Arkham City and wondered—“is he gonna spend the whole Summer of Ben 2011 playing only one game?” Perhaps. But is it a game for everyone? There is only one way to find the answer—switch on detective mode, it’s time to compare heroines!

Weapon of choice
This kitty has claws	Zoey’s trademark pistols
Shoes make the man
Knee-high kickers	Runners
The hunt is on!
Catwoman is a hunter	Zoey is the hunted
All tied up
Catwoman ties ’em up	Zoey is constricted!
Kiss the boys and make them cry
Kiss + trip critical strike	Not that again!
Best in Lego
Official Batman Lego and an official Lego Batman game	Minifig excellence—but no Lego game!
Best fan video
Stunt studio remake	Fake movie trailer
Random quote
Arkham thug: [window shatters offscreen] It’s Batman! [Catwoman walks into view] Arkham thug: What the h**l? Catwoman: Sorry to disappoint you boys. It’s just little ol’ me.	Francis: Hey, watch out for that Steam pipe. Zoey: Man, I love Steam. Francis: Yeah, Steam’s alright, I guess.

So isBatman Arkham City worth your dosh? (What is dosh anyway?)
If saying “I’m Batman!” every day to friends, family and social networks is as important to you as it is to me, then ~~you are probably Bajo~~ yes.

Zoey or Triss…?

Posted by spiii on August 19th, 2011 @ 15:27

Seen GOG.com are running a Witcher 2 special this weekend and been pondering do I want to play an epic single-player RPG choose-your-own-adventure type game? Worth it just to check out Good ol’ games awesome DRM and region-free online shop, imho. Still not convinced? There’s only one thing to do—time to compare heroines!

Weapon of choice
Triss favours fireballs—watch your back!	Zoey’s trademark pistols
Favourite hangout
Elven ruins with indoor plumbing	Zombie apocalypse
Watch out for…
Nilfgaardian sorcery!	Hunters!
Best in Lego
This is very sad—there is barely any Witcher based Lego	Minifig excellence
Best in papercraft
Witcher fans embrace papercraft	Zoey minecraft based papercraft
Random quote
Addan quen spars-paerpe’tlon Vort!	I know we gotta move, but I gotta heal you

So isThe Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings worth your dosh? (What is dosh anyway?)
If being able to play a game again and again from different angles until you finally figure out how you should have spent those skills to unlock adrenaline finishers faster is as important to you as it is to me, then yes

Zoey or Chell…?

Posted by spiii on April 24th, 2011 @ 23:23

You’ve heard about Portal 2. There really could be cake this time. But is it as good as Left 4 Dead? Let’s test the heroines!
For Science.

Test #1: weapons

Chell with portable quantum tunneling device

Zoey with dual (black) pistols

I had a pretty good life. But then you showed up. You dangerous, mute, lunatic.

Test #2: footwear

Long Fall Boots—sleek, stylish and investment protecting

Zoey shoes—unlikely to protect investments

That jumpsuit you’re wearing looks stupid. That’s not me talking, it’s right here in your file. On other people it looks fine, but right here a scientist has noted that on you it looks “stupid”. Well, what does a neck-bearded old engineer know about fashion? He probably— Oh, wait. It’s a she. Still, what does she know? Oh wait, it says she has a medical degree. In fashion! From France!

Test #3: likes

Chell hugging the weighted companion cube

Weighted companion cubes—hugs a’plenty

Survivors—not as cuddly

Oh, good. My slow clap processor made it into this thing. So we have that.

Test #4: The Cake is a Lie

Leela has made a weighted companion cake

Birds are angry this is no zombie cake

We’re a lot alike, you and I. You tested me. I tested you. You killed me. I—oh, no, wait. I guess I haven’t killed you yet. Well. Food for thought.

Test #5: Cosplay realism

Where are the portals?

Where are the zombies? Oh right—ouch!

Remember before when I was talking about smelly garbage? That was a metaphor. I was actually talking about you and I’m sorry. You didn’t react at the time so I was worried it sailed right over your head, which would have made this apology seem insane. That’s why I had to call you garbage a second time just now.

Test #6: Best in lego

I think you need to grab the cube through the blue portal and…

Run or shoot? RUN OR SHOOT? BOTH!!

Okay. Look. We both said a lot of things that you’re going to regret. But I think we can put our differences behind us. For science. You monster.

So is Portal 2 worth your dosh? (What is dosh anyway?)
If being able to earn an achievement for dancing in front of a turret while shielded by a light bridge is as important to you as it is to me—yes.

Zoey or Lilith…?

Posted by spiii on October 30th, 2010 @ 16:37

You’ve thought about playing Borderlands. But is it as good as Left 4 Dead? Once again we compare heroines to find out!

Weapon of choice: it burns!

Maliwan Combustion Hellfire!

Zoey with dual (black) pistols

The loots be mine! Borderlands is so full of loots it’s no competition. Of course, there’s something to be said for those ol’ dual pistols. Still, we gotta go with the SMG that lights enemies on fire. Pyro on steroids!

Wanted: witches!

Poster of Lilith: Wanted for conspiracy, witchcraft, theft and murder

Lilith: wanted for witchcraft

Zoey and witch propaganda

Wanted for witchcraft and wanting the witch. So wrong.

Hey, that sounds like…

“I’m gonna be king of the pirates!”

“Did I win? Sweet!”

Pirates vs ninjas? The internets are undecided. But pirates vs princesses? I think we all know that’s going to end in tears!
Yep, it’s strange but true, the voice actors behind our two heroines voice the above characters as well.

Best quotes


“Is there no end to my power?”	“We are kicking a*s!”
“Mine, mine, aaaand mine!”	“Guys! Big, badass, nasty weapons over here!”
“Hahahaha. I’m really good at this.”	“We did it! Can you believe it?”
“Yes! Feel it!”	“h**l YEAH!”
“Quit playing around, let’s move.”	“Dude, I’m half your size! Get up!”
“Wait―that was it? It’s dead?”	“Zombie, Francis! He. Was. A. Zombie!”

Where there’s smoke there’s fire

Lilith unleashes the phoenix fire ability

Burn like a phoenix for every kill

Zoey grimaces when Bill offers her a smoke

No thanks Bill, Zoey doesn’t smoke

More fire in borderlands. More fire for more win!

Best in lego

Lilith with a yellow repeater

Lego zombies surround the L4D characters

Lego L4D zombies scene

Lego left 4 dead is clearly ahead here. Li’l Lilith can’t compete with that. Now if there had been a h**l-burbia lego scene… but there isn’t.

So is Borderlands worth your dosh? (What is dosh anyway?)
If being able to loot and pillage your way through a backwater planet like Pandora is as important to you as it is to me, then yes
