Ryan types for a living, and it shows. Some quick-draw keyboard tapping there.

I can't believe that I missed out on so many of these games even though I had a Dreamcast. So far the only games they have shown that I played on my DC was Sonic and Shenmue.

I like that the in game characters don't have guns, even though the zombies are still geting shot.  THEY HAVE FUCKING KEYBOARDS, like they wanted to justify why it was a typing game for some reason.

Actually the 2nd level is piss compared to 3 and god don't get me started on 4. 
I managed to complete them on very hard(Longest wordsize enabled as well.) and it goes to the levels of 3 zombies with: "Uptown style, downtown chic", "Why can't you use a toilet?" & "Hit with a jawbone of a donkey" and things along the line of: "Burn and destroy the snowman!" 
 
Just weird and long stuff that you wouldn't normally use in a sentence, and thus harder to type quickly.

Wow.. if there's one thing the Dreamcast should be memorable for, it's terrible voice acting.

Funny that Vinny did not make any Persona 4 references to the Judgement and the Hierophant bosses.
