Line #5 Quotes/ColonCancer


1	-> ''"I'm so sick of the endless colon-ization of new games that feel like they're too ''special'' to make do with one title! It's so mindbogglingly self-important it makes me want to spit!"''

11	->''"Apparently, the sequel to ''[[Film/MissionImpossibleII Mission: Impossible II]]'' isn't ''Mission: Impossible III''. It's ''[[Film/MissionImpossibleIII M:I:3]]''. That's "M-colon-I-colon-3." I guess [[Creator/TomCruise Tom]] [[DoubleEntendre just likes fitting in colons.]]"''

14	->''"The new ''Franchise/StarWars'' movie got a full title and in case you can’t tell by that picture above the full title is: ''Star Wars: Film/TheForceAwakens''.

17	->''"As anyone who's eaten tex-mex before a long plane ride knows, colons can be very problematic.... You have to mark the colon with [[{{Beat}} a little pause]], or people will think you're saying ''Beyond Two Souls'', as in more than two souls. But if you take off either part of the title, then people won't know what you're talking about:"''\
18	'''Yahtzee:''' I've been playing ''Beyond.''\
19	'''Mate:''' Beyond what? Beyond [[JustOneMoreLevel the limits of social acceptability]]?\
20	'''Yahtzee:''' No, I mean I've been playing ''Two Souls''!\
21	'''Mate:''' Oh, right, isn't that that really hard game [[{{Spoonerism}} from BY Software]]-- I mean by Creator/FROMSoftware?\
22	'''Yahtzee''': ''No'', that's ''VideoGame/DarkSouls''!\
23	'''Mate:''' Oh, so you were playing a game about the exploration of several human sphincters?\
24	'''Yahtzee:''' NO, that's ''Arseholes''!
25	-->-- ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' on ''VideoGame/BeyondTwoSouls''
26
27	->''First, as Creator/RogerEbert pointed out, why not just call the movie ''Ballistic''? Why ''Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever''? Especially since Ecks and Sever work together to beat the greater villain. I mean, yeah, initially they thought they were against each other but they became reluctant partners. That’s like renaming ''Film/TangoAndCash'' “'''Demolition: Tango vs. Cash'''”.''

[[VideoGame/KingdomsOfAmalurReckoning Reckoning: Kingdoms of Amalur]], and I think "oh, it's gonna fail."

42	->''I had a [[RunningGag running joke]] back in ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' where I dryheave every time a game's name contained an unnecessary colon. Apparently sometimes one name doesn't suffice. Only two names jammed awkwardly together will suit our special interesting baby. I first started doing this in my review of ''VideoGame/LichdomBattlemage'', and it's probably the only reason I even remember that fucking game.[[note]]see top quote[[/note]] ''Battlemage'' by itself would have been a beautiful title, what happens if they [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo bring out the long awaited sequel]] ''now''? Would it be ''Lichdom 2'' or ''Battlemage 2''? 'Cuz I know which one my eyes would immediately roll off into the nearest sick bucket.''
