[up][up]Very much a case of Depending on the Author

Gene considered the Animated Series Non-Canon (though he later relented for 2 episodes). Other writers have been more willing to reference it.

Ah, yes, the (in)famous episode where Spock uses satanic magick.

Good times.

Dragon Age, Parts 1 and 2. Both videos are currently private on Blip, but are available on the site, so no direct links for now.

Random trivia: Mouse from the Mage Origin is voiced by Dominic Keating, aka Reed on Enterprise.

He chose to side with First Enchanter Irving instead of opposing him with Jowan, I suppose he didn't like Jowan to start with but jeez, It'd be preferable to just execute him later, then make him tranquil.

Chuck isn't completely right however when he says Dragon Age has no "Canon", while game-wise it's everything goes, Bioware does have an official canon they use for the novels and other material where letting players import a world state is not practical: The Warden is a female Dalish Elf, Alistair becomes king, Morrigan doesn't make an Old God Baby, the Warden sacrifices himself to kill the Archdemon, every companion (Except Loghain) is recruited and survives.

How could the Warden be and female elf and Sacrifice himself?

And noone talks about how Janeway is a witch?

Kate Mulgrew loved hamming it up for Dragon Age, according to her fansites.

Chuck even made a Janeway sketch.

It's apparent Chuck likes him some Bioware, but if he was to review a non-Bioware game what would it be?

I personally think he would enjoy Deus Ex Human Revolution. The story anyway, don't know how he'd feel about the gameplay. Chuck has often decried it when shows like Star Trek have a society that despises all technology and live a peaceful utopian existence etc. Human Revolution actually takes a realistic approach to the technology vs no technology debate mostly because those who are against the high tech movement are against one specific form of technology, specifically augmentation, the process of replacing ones body parts with robot parts and computers. The game gives many good arguments for and against augmentation so both sides of the issue are represented and there aren't really any strawmen. It would be refreshing to see him review something where characters take an anti-technology stance and don't act moronic like they did in Star Trek Insurrection.

He has four video games on his schedule. The first two were KOTOR and DAO. The other two are Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory and System Shock 2. You can see the list here.

Still hoping he someday reviews Star Trek: Borg and/or Star Trek: Klingon, as Chuck snarking on both Trek and the fad of FMV games would be tremendous.

This Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory? Okaaaay.

Can someone explain the difference between darkspawn and regular undead? Are darkspawn even undead? Or will all this be explained in an upcoming video?

[up] Darkspawn are not undead. They are the offspring of females of the species of Thedas who have been infected with the Taint and turned into Broodmothers.

This will explain it better, as the whole thing is rather long to explain.

[up][up]The short version is that darkspawn are plague-bearing orcs.

He suggested Claudia Black was her illegitimate child, didn't he? A year or two back? Shame he blew that joke on a Farscape review, feels like he missed a trick!

[up][up][up][up] Its a good game but aimed at more the otaku slice of life crowds, it is is so completely different from anything he has ever reviewed and so far, even ponies, from his tastes that I can only see it going south real fast.

How did it get 400$ to get it reviewed by him?...

EDIT: On the plus side I can not wait for him to maybe compare Iris Heart to Janeway.
