[Second]

He reminds me of Shorty. Must be the hat.

[igotnewsuper8systemWRONG!]

I think it might be the hat

[Spudzilla]

Or it might be the stink lines coming from his body.

Because he smells.

[igotnewsuper8systemWRONG!]

It might be the hat but it's probably the stinklines

[Citizen Erased]

Infamous Vs Protoype cross dressing challenge. (http://www.kotaku.com.au/2009/07/infamous-defeats-prototype-in-cross-dressing-playoff/)

[Hyperblau]

People still watch this guy?

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

That didn't take long.



As I've always said, I'll watch him until he says something about a game I like.

[Hyperblau]

I'll watch until he does the exact same thing week in week out.... that's probably why i don't watch.

[adam_91vn]

People still watch this guy?

Nope.

[Lazlow]

Seconded. The schtick got well worn and tired, and I just stopped bothering.

[Manny M]

I still watch it. I find there are much worse ways I can spend 4 mins of my life... and if anything his 'reviews' are still humorous.

[incompatible with life]

I dislike the generic music at the start and end but otherwise I don't have any qualms with his reviews of late.

[Space_Monkey]

Yahtzee is pretty tierd, just the same thing week in week out. Will occasionly get a laugh but more likely a yawn.

That said I still watch each week.

Could do worse with four minutes of my life.

[JubeiSaotome]

One trick pony. That and the whole maddoxist approach got old fast.

[Lex]

most predictable Zero Punctuation thread ever.

[Spudzilla]

JUST LIKE THE VIDEOS, EH?!?!?

oh crap

[JubeiSaotome]

most predictable Zero Punctuation thread ever.

So, it's uncool to be over his week in, week out routine of the same thing, different game?

[FrozenSoul80]

I only ever watch it when he reviews games I've played, or have an interest in. He's alright, but if I watched every episode I can see him getting old pretty quickly.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

So, it's uncool to be over his week in, week out routine of the same thing, different game?

Yes..

[AranchineD]

It was funny the first time, and it's still funny now.

And I don't think I've ever watched a single one of his videos as an actual review of a game, and anyone who does is doing it wrong.

I said predictable, not uncool.

[Jickle]

Really? Because I, and everyone else I assume, came in to discuss the XBLA release of Hasbro Games Night: Yahtzee!, and had my mind BLOWN.

[grimace06]

I still enjoy Yahtzee's videos even if they've a bit worn.

I've always said it would better off as a fortnightly or monthly show.

[dinopoke]

My friends are devoted fans and take his word for truth.

[Dust]

I was going to say something very witty [obviously] about the game, but then all I got was this image of that Motivation Poster with Optimus Prime, only it had Yahtzee playing Yahtzee... And my brain just melted :eek:

[I'd do a photoshop, but I'm a coder not an artist]

[Mike-Towns]

My friends are devoted fans and take his word for truth.

Most games released in the past decade DO suck though.

[Blue]

Seconded. The schtick got well worn and tired, and I just stopped bothering.Ugh, if I ever dared utter a word against Yahtzee, I could expect nep and abuse. Is it at the point where enough people are tired of him that I can exclaim "HE'S A HACK" and not expect much in the way of resistance?

[AranchineD]

No no, I'll still be here to abuse you for your opinions for a while yet.

[JubeiSaotome]

People didn't post thoughts, based on getting nepped? Wow.

[Spudzilla]

Ugh, if I ever dared utter a word against Yahtzee, I could expect nep and abuse. Is it at the point where enough people are tired of him that I can exclaim "HE'S A HACK" and not expect much in the way of resistance?

I can't even imagine people shouting at their screens "HOW DARE YOU INSULT OUR INTERNET HERO! -1 REPUTATION FOR YOU!"

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

People didn't post thoughts, based on getting nepped? Wow.

Blue stopped posting just so he could nep people for typos.

[Stevorooni]

I still watch his videos as I find them funny.
I don't agree with him on a lot of points but I'm not watching his videos for an accurate review, I'm watching them to see funny animations and listen to some British guy rant.

[Mike-Towns]

I watch it for the same reason I watch AVGN (which is superior btw), angry people make me chuckle.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

I watched a "top ten" of AVGN the other week and it looked like it's devolved into him practicing his After Effects skills.

[Thraxas]

I forgot about yahtzee until I saw this thread I watched all the videos I hadn't seen... The older videos are much better and funnier. There were still a few chuckles to be had here and there, but I think he needs to try something new.

[quantum]

is anyone else having trouble watching his videos, all i get now is a black screen.

[AranchineD]

congratulation you found a way to make yahtzee better hurrrrrrrr

[JubeiSaotome]

I watched a "top ten" of AVGN the other week and it looked like it's devolved into him practicing his After Effects skills.

AVGN doesn't do top tens. You're thinking of Screw Attack.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

I watched Screw Attack do a "top ten" of AVGN the other week and it looked like it's devolved into him practicing his After Effects skills.

[Lex]

AVGN doesn't do top tens. You're thinking of Screw Attack.

he didn't say he did, he said he watched a top 10 of AVGN, possibly one of the "top 10 nerd moments of 200X". but hey, don't let me get in the way of your petty point scoring :)

[BB2K]

So WTF happened to Yahtzee's voice? (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1148-Assassins-Creed-2)

[FrozenSoul80]

So WTF happened to Yahtzee's voice? (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1148-Assassins-Creed-2)

New sound equipment? Didn't he used to use a crappy headset mic?

[Natrak]

Ben Croshaw died and they replaced him with an impersonator.

[Stevorooni]

Maybe he has a cold or something
