		<description>Yeah, but when people talk about the consolations of age, I assumed they meant things like scotch and wisdom and especially scotch, not just an increased appreciation for John Carpenter parodies.</description>

		<description>Dude, don&#039;t even. This is the blog of a guy whose 40s are looming perilously close. And at the moment, who looks like he&#039;s pushing fifty.</description>

		<description>Haha. The best solution is usually the simplest, yeah?

Hmm, OK, looking back at them again I&#039;d say Moai Better Blues is the best one. The writing is spot-on. &quot;Wet.&quot;

&lt;i&gt;Night of the Raving Dead&lt;/i&gt;&#039;s is awesome. I love it, even if it shows nothing at all. The bad translation is the highlight, even the little stuff that only hardcore fans of Sam and Max (hi!) would notice (&quot;small buddy&quot;).

&lt;i&gt;What&#039;s New, Beelzebub?&lt;/i&gt; comes third. Pretty hilarious overall but there&#039;s a thing or two I&#039;d change about it. There was a sin card or two that I shrugged off. &quot;Envy&quot; is just great. I know the joke about Max being a twisted psycopath is used all the time but I love it when a fresh take on it like this happens. Has the element of suprise that good comedy relies on.

&lt;i&gt;Ice Station Santa&lt;/i&gt; I love (especially how the door slams and the title comes-up), and it just reeks of atmosphere, but I think it&#039;s more for 30+ people than for 19 year old me. I&#039;m not big on Carpenter so the parody went a bit over my head.

And finally &lt;i&gt;Chariots of the Dogs&lt;/i&gt;, which has a thing here and there that I don&#039;t want to get too into here. It&#039;s not a bad trailer (none of them are) but it&#039;s not the one that&#039;ll tell the average &lt;i&gt;Madden&lt;/i&gt;-loving gamer that this game was the best of 2008.

They&#039;re all great trailers and always fun to watch but this is just how I rank them. My personal opinion, nothing more.

(PS: Also I played the second Strong Bad episode two weeks ago. I just wanted to say I love your take on Homestar: &quot;What is my major malfunction private?&quot; was a good reminder of why I love comedy in games. Great episode, going to start EP3 tonight!)</description>

		<description>Never seen the Beelzebub one before. Have to say, the &quot;envy&quot; and &quot;greed&quot; ones were hilarious. Also great work on making it look like old tape, how&#039;d you guys do it?</description>
