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)

Oh dear...
I'm not talking about "Oh my God! Link fell over! That's hilarious!"...
I'm taking about games that entertain you with intelligent jokes, not slapstick.

Toejam and Earl 3 is coming to the DC, by the way Pierogas... they're trying to make it more like the first one than the second one.

I don't need help. I'm perfectly sane. Believe me, if you ever meet Votta then you'll agree with me and beg me to shoot him.
