HunchBluntley: I actually watched TotalBiscuit's "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" episode about G:CK (one of the videos he made for his erstwhile promotional partnership with GOG, I believe), and he went on about a lot of the strong points of the game, but I don't remember him really focusing on its humor.

Wishbone: Oh, I think he <span class="bold">did</span> point it out ;-)
Eh, it's been almost a year since I watched that. And since that video was one of of the reasons I categorized the game as "probably not for me, but I might still try it out some time, since I got it for free and it's supposed to be good", I didn't give it much thought afterward. (Off-point: that bit of the video you linked to shows a character voiced by Michael Bell, one of those distinctive-voiced guys who did voice work in <i>everything</i> for a few decades. =D )

HunchBluntley: As for Sacrifice and the rest, I'm not really interested in most any of those, either. (EDIT: Also, fuck Interplay. Given the way they stiffed the Parallax guys on their Descent royalties, I imagine they've probably done similar to a lot of other creators that they have agreements with.) I find I'm not terribly excited about playing older games in general these days -- even ones I would've killed to have played, but never got to, 15 or 20 years ago.
For instance, I bought Morrowind last December, and I've probably only played it for 10 hours or less. This was a game that I'd been looking forward to playing "some day" since it came out, but due to a variety of reasons, I never did play it until it was released Steam-free here. And, now that it's sitting on my desktop, I simply can't be bothered. : \

Wishbone: Well, I can't tell you what to play and what not to play.

As for Interplay being bastards, that may well be so. But refusing to play great games by great developers because their publishers are bastards is not the way to go I think. Shiny, Bullfrog, Westwood... Tons of great games there.

But again, what you play is your decision :-)
I'm not not playing it because of Interplay, I'm putting off trying it because I've never particularly been interested in actually playing the game. : ) (To be clear, it's still one of the more interesting titles of those Interplay sells here, so that should tell you how likely I am to get any of the rest.) Interplay being assholes is just a good additional reason to not buy any of their games that I'm already not interested in.

I am not a nostalgia gamer. I am able to recognize older games as classics without needing to play most of them, or remember them fondly without needing to re-play (or re-buy) them. I definitely don't need fancy graphics (I play Spelunky Classic and Stone Soup!), but a game being that old often equals me not buying the game, or not playing it if I do wind up owning it somehow, or not being able to get into it if I do try it out. Having to play in DOSBox just adds another layer of meh, although at least that's not a problem in Giants' case.

Whoa! He's certainly been prolific as a voice actor O_o

I remember coming across his work at some point in about every second PS2 game I owned, back in the day; and for those who remember old cartoons vividly, he'd probably be even more recognized. :D

More like 'stop feeding the troll'.
Will do, don't worry.

Edit: Totally unrelated, but did you just move to Grenada? =P

Calling him a troll is like calling the surface of the sun warm.
