Tragic figures in games are nothing new, but their skills almost always outweigh any visible flaws. Yahtzee examines the Mary Sue-style character in games.
Yahtzee makes the case for using turn-based gameplay for more than just combat.
Yahtzee is still tempted to make a new adventure game, but wonders how the gameplay should work.
Waiting for loading screens, matchmaking or installs are a pain, so Yahtzee has come up with four solutions to some wait time scenarios that could actually work.

With the recent rash of Metroidvania style games from Indie developers, Yahtzee offers some alternative platform ideas.
We assume Half-Life 3 is in development, but how long is too long to wait? Granted we could get a Team Fortress 2 and forgive delays, or we could get Duke Nukem Forever.
