What's the funniest game you've ever played? Why was it so funny? Have you gone back and played it because of the humor alone? I think comedic talent is very hard to come by in video game development....

Last time, we discussed how to keep our players encouraged, even when they weren't in the lead. Towards the end of the article, I mentioned how one player's hope is another player's fear, and so we're...
