i wanna watch the whole thing, but does it only talk about video games?
Good video. But who says gibs with the soft 'g'?
[QUOTE=Hugh Janus;43760210]i wanna watch the whole thing, but does it only talk about video games?[/QUOTE] Yup
[QUOTE=ClarkWasHere;43760227]Good video. But who says gibs with the soft 'g'?[/QUOTE] Well, it is shortened from 'giblet', which is pronounced with a soft g- I've heard people pronounce it both ways. I think the hard g is probably a corruption, but then it's the same with the hard g in gif.

People who pronounce g's as j's need to get executed into a bloody mess of gibs.
Weird that he didn't include bloody mess when talking about Fallout 3.
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;43760585]Weird that he didn't include bloody mess when talking about Fallout 3.[/QUOTE] Bloody Mess is a terrible perk and doesn't make the game any more brutal than it already is, except in a silly way. Headshot separating all limbs? hue.
It's always fun seeing different takes on game-gore, but i wish he'd gone into it a bit deeper.
Holy shit iv'e played Thrill Kill me and a friend found it in a box in his garage and played it wasn't that good but cool to know that iv'e played an unreleased game
Neat video, slight disappoint with no mention of SoF2. [img]http://www.mobygames.com/images/i/30/04/256104.jpeg[/img] That game was a part of my childhood and I'd reinstall the game on purpose cause my dad would turn the gore settings off but with a fresh install I could change the settings :v: Great multiplayer too.
All this showed me is how stupid gore-centric games are.
Smash TV is the greatest game of all time.

[QUOTE=Bumrang;43761928]Giraffe[/QUOTE] Sorry if I wasn't clear enough from my last post, but I'm talking more of words who's pronunciations are ambiguous. If I can, I generally prefer to use a hard g instead of a soft g.

Would be great to be able to play it again.
You'd think he'd spend more time on the Soldier of Fortune series, all things considered they are probably the goriest FPS games out there.
This is the thread i've been waiting for.
