Basically, we rely on group moderation here. The more videos you submit that reach 10 votes, the greater your understanding of quality (and what should be going on here in general) likely becomes. The star system allows you to gain more moderating power as you submit more videos, as it's assumed you can be trusted with more responsibility as your experience here increases.

Anyone care to explain the stars and their significance? I looked them up and see they exist but for what reason?

Zero Punctuation Review - Braid

anyprophet says...

I really wish people would get the fuck over Psychonauts. It had great writing and character design, but it was a shitty game. It assembled all of the really boring and tedious parts of 3D platformers into a single package!

Anyway, Braid is an amazing game. If you're a 360 owner there's no excuse not to buy it.

Zero Punctuation Review - Braid

Deano says...

Braid is a wonderful game, well crafted and clearly a labour of love. I have got 52 pieces so far and each one has been extremely satisfying. The remaining puzzles are doing my head in though

The only flaw was having to reset the level with the two locked doors situation as Yahtzee points out but that's a minor inconvenience.

Mr. Bungle - Goodbye Sober Day

Doc_M says...

Dude, 24" braided pigtails? FAIL. Still, oddly, I kinda appreciated some element of the music so I up-voted. I'm feeling insane today I guess.
Still, the screaming/whining was lame. The audience obviously agreed.

Noyce! If you think this is clever you should check out the Crab Canon from my most favourite book in the world Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, by Douglas Hofstadetr.

Crab Canon
----------

Achilles and the Tortoise happen upon each other
in the park one day while strolling.

Tortoise: Good day, Mr. A.
Achilles: Why, same to you.
Tortoise: So nice to run into you.
Achilles: That echoes my thoughts.
Tortoise: And it's a perfect day for a walk. I think I'll be walking home
soon.
Achilles: Oh, really? I guess there's nothing better for you than walking.
Tortoise: Incidentally, you're looking in fine fettle these days, I must
say.
Achilles: Thank you very much.
Tortoise: Not at all. Here, care for one of my cigars?
Achilles: Oh, you are such a philistine. In this area, the Dutch contribu-
tions are of markedly inferior taste, don't you think?
Tortoise: I disagree, in this case. But speaking of taste, I finally saw that
Crab Canon by your favorite artist, M.C. Escher, in a gallery the other
day, and I fully appreciate the beauty and ingenuity with which he
made one single theme mesh with itself going both backwards and
forwards. But I am afraid I will always feel Bach is superior to Escher.
Achilles: I don't know. But one thing for certain is that I don't worry about
arguments of taste. De gustibus non est disputandum.
Tortoise: Tell me, what's it like to be your age? Is it true that one has no
worries at all?
Achilles: To be precise one has no frets.
Tortoise: Oh, well, it's all the same to me.
Achilles: Fiddle. It makes a big difference, you know.
Tortoise: Say, don't you play the guitar?
Achilles: That's my good friend. He often plays, the fool. But I myself
wouldn't touch a guitar with a ten-foot pole.
(Suddenly the Crab, appearing from out of nowhere, wanders up ex-
citedly, pointing to a rather prominent black eye.)

Crab: Hallo! Hullo! What's up? What's new? You see this bump, this
from Warsaw - a collosal bear of a man - playing a lute. He was three
meters tall, if I'm a day. I mosey on up to the chap, reach skyward and
manage to tap him on the knee, saying, "Pardon me, sir, but you are
Pole-luting our park with your mazurkas." But WOW! he had no sense
of humor - not a bit, not a wit - and POW! - he lets loose and belts me
one, smack in the eye! Were it in my nature, I would crab up a storm,
but in the time-honored tradition of my species, I backed off. After all,
when we walk forwards, we move backwards. It's in our genes, you
know, turning round and round. That reminds me - I've always
wondered, "which came first - the Crab or the Gene?" That
is to say, "Which came last - the Gene, or the Crab?" I'm always
turning things round and round, you know. It's in our genes, after
all. When we walk backwards we move forwards. Ah me, oh my!
I must lope along on my merry way - so off I go on such a fine day.
Sing "ho!" for the life of a Crab! TATA! Ole!

(And he disappears as suddenly as he arrived.)

Tortoise: That's my good friend. He often plays, the fool. But I myself
wouldn't touch a ten-foot Pole with a guitar.
Achilles: Say, don't you play the guitar?
Tortoise: Fiddle. It makes a big difference, you know.
Achilles: Oh, well, it's all the same to me.
Tortoise: To be precise one has no frets.
Achilles: Tell me, what's it like to be your age? Is it true that one has no
worries at all?
Tortoise: I don't know. But one thing for certain is that I don't worry about
arguments of taste. Disputandum non est de gustibus.
Achilles: I disagree, in this case. But speaking of taste, I finally heard that
Crab Canon by your favorite composer, J.S. Bach, in a concert the
other day, and I fully appreciate the beauty and ingenuity with which
he made one single theme mesh with itself going both backwards and
forwards. But I am afraid I will always feel Escher is superior to Bach.
Tortoise: Oh, you are such a philistine. In this area, the Dutch contribu-
tions are of markedly inferior taste, don't you think?

Achilles: Good day, Mr. A.


The Official Roast For thesnipe (and tossed salad bar) (Parody Talk Post)

choggie says...

*orders hors-doovers and more drinks-

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

Yes her name in the show is Snoop. Interestingly, it is also her nickname in real life. Her real name is Felicia Pearson.
She is an ex-inmate that was type-cast for this role. So she is acting but this is really the way she is.

She said in an interview I saw that when someone once offered on the street to sell her a bootleg version of the show, she "confiscated" all their disks and threw them in the garbage.

She's really neat if you look her up: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1787519/#actress

is that character's name snoop or are you just commenting on the braids?
