What about it?

Well, there aren't enough funny games. The Monkey Islands were great... as were most of the Lucasarts adventures, Day of the Tentacle and Sam and Max especially... but humour seems to be lacking in most games these days.

I'm not talking about little things, like Solid Snake shuffling in a locker, but more of the type of game that's funny all the way through.

Many have tried and failed badly, the Larry series is a good example of games that are supposed to be very funny, but fall flat on their face.

And, as it seems the main source of humour in games, Lucasarts, aren't making adventures anymore, what can we look forward to?

The only funny game that's been around recently is Conker's Bad Fur Day. I love anything that takes the mick out of famous films...

So... instead of discussing about humour in games, try and think of some of the funniest games you've played. Saying "Microsoft Train Simulator is quite a funny game" or something of simular context will not be accepted. It's too obvious, and just isn't funny.

Actually, discuss what the hell you want. It's not as if we're going to stick to the subject anyway. :0)

Yeah he can do that becuase he's a Notable. You see just becuase he has a cruddy mustard colour after his name then he can do anything he wants.

You people, (Newbies especially) should treat him with the respect he deserves. You know why? Becuase he is a NOTABLE

NOW BOW DOWN AND LICK HIS SHOES.

I'm not mocking Zukovsky, I'm mocking Rare's lack of realism in Goldeneye.

Excuse me but please do not mock Zuckovsky. He was my character. You see he may have been quite wide but he was also quite short which gave you the edge in multiplayers.

Not really a moment, but in Goldeneye multiplayer, you could be a fat man who runs like the wind. Zukovsky.

Making *vrrroooom* noises while making the fat man run around people puts them into hysterics... and then you can shoot them easily.

And there's me talking about people needing help... :0)
