Guy talks About Starship Troopers for 25 minutes NOt clickbait
Starship Troopers is the 1997 action movie that inspired Helldivers 2. Directed by notorious Dutch weirdo Paul Verhoeven, Starship Troopers was widely reviled when it came out. Some people just plain didn't like the movie. But others, including people who should've known better, totally missed the point. Because Starship Troopers is satire. Helldivers 2 borrows the tone and premise of Starship Troopers, poking fun at the American military industrial complex. Looking back at how the film was received - and how many people just Didn't Get It - can help us understand Helldivers 2 now. Polygon's Patrick Gill explains the whole dang thing.

It has yet to be forgotten
I think the Aristocats had a decent balance, I dont think the female cat looked too different than the males.
I'm not even a fighting game fan, but ever since I played Soul Calibur II as a kid, Voldo has been my absolute favourite videogame character, I'll be forever mesmerized by his design and concept (also, I'm italian like him). I however disagree with your points about masculinity etc., Voldo is neither masculine nor feminine but fully animalistic, he's a beast playing the part of the human, in the same way that humans play the part of animals in rituals and celebrations of myths. He's an inversion of human rules, an archetypal trickster like Pulcinella who likewise meddles with the masculine and the feminine not with the purpose of representing either, but to make a joking mockery of them.
technically, kirby is like an eldritch Amoeba, works like an amoeba, eats and functions like one, with the added bonus of surviving blackholes, traveling faster than light and being a god slayer
Tim Curry's performance in Red Alert 3 is something that will stay with me forever.
This is art
As a clown, that personally offended me, but yeah
He was clearly on the verge of losing it
You know the games bad when you have yo play rock paper scissors in it

Is there not one that can be used for combat sports? Like... UFC and martial arts are a thing.
Oh yeah they dont answer you in emails
why did they use such a small table for a game with so many parts?
I know he left Polygon by the time of me writing this comment, but please bring him back and make him summarize Marathon lore for the upcoming reboot
C&C live action videos are ALL hilarious.
I think it's more to show that Daffy and Bugs are outliers in a world with relatively well adjusted anthro characters
My castlevania melody of depreesion
Organising and shedding clothing.........this is like nerd burlesque
I guess directors commentary is kind of like new movie plus.
any update on this?
Curry was clearly trying really hard to keep it together for that shot (probably because of how ridiculous it was) but it adds so well to the unhinged nature of the character.
If they don't know what they are, you're removing the most interesting part of the game, that a minority of people with information will triumph over a majority of people with no information.
The only question I have is how new are your shoes?
So rather than moving the camera or the perspective... They changed the model?
Go do something useful
Nah, Someone did that
Video earned the like but the “I don’t wanna learn I wanna play helldivers” thing got you the sub
Shut up Polygon
Greeks were hot, and greek gods were hotter. Theyre just keeping it ttue to spurce material
Hay hay people, Sseth here
I hope we get voting booths in the game, and that it’s just a place where you give an approval rating for the leaders rather than selecting any.
Ska...ska never changes.
Proud to say my Kojima name is Big Aries Dog.
Bro went for the preemptive strike
Someones very apparently not played disgaea, we already have a sexy version of many of these monsters there.
When u both click mach punch at 1hp each and lose to a speed tie
4:53 Counterpoint, all fighters in the game can double jump at minimum, some more than that
This is one of the reasons I like Puss and Kitty’s designs from the Puss in Boots movies sm- sure, Kitty is more feminine, but it’s not overdoing it. Plus, Puss has some wicked eyeliner that you’d expect on a female character haha
