Pretty much the only guy I'd let get away with it

I love Yahtzee, too bad I can't see it at work.
I can't wait.
I'm meh about Darksiders after watching some gameplay of it...

Though I don't think this is the first time...

Hah!

I laughed, as did my housemate, when we heard this.

He has a point.
MOAR SKULLS AND GOLD EDGING!

Hah! Gelatinous Blobs....

That boy needs to die. Slowly.

Go Yahtzee, its not the first time he's used 40k in his work though, lets hope he does not get a C&D :p. I personally think he's a closet tabletop gamer.

Very very comical, loved it

News: We are all Gelatinous Blobs in disguise.

Who is pretending to be a game that is like god of war with a portal gun?

. . . irritating American nerd humor with an irritating British accent . . .

"Yahtzee is a British-born, currently Australian-based writer and gamer with a sweet hat and a chip on his shoulder."

He's never been American, actually.

Well, atleast he'll have things to yell at for the next few weeks. Anyone else slowly gathering hints about his past and the love he sorta had? Or is that just me?

Has he also never seen TV or movies or read magazine or been on the internet? Why would it matter if he's been in the States or not?

I didn't know a humour could be owned by a particular country. I assumed you meant he was American.

I don't think humor can be owned by anyone, copyright aside. But I assume you have heard of something called culture? Really, DH, why nitpick? I don't think the guy is funny, is all.

You're right. I had a troubled day, but I shouldn't be an ass.

However, I find him hilarious, so I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

::shakes you hand::

Sorry mate.

I love that guy. Fellow Austrilians UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I take offense!

I'm obviously a Jello Blob!

Plus, I agree with Manchu, I don't think he's that funny.

I like his stuff, but it's not funny.

The first few times I heard him, I thought he was funny. Then as I watched more of his work, I came to the quick conclusion that he's little more than a troll that nitpicks about minor flaws in games. I've played a good number of the games he's ranted about, and they are nowhere near as bad as he claims them to be. I have found times that I agree with him, such as his comments about the newest Guitar Hero games (The first two had fantastic soundtracks, the third wasn't too bad, but it's been going downhill ever since GH2). For the most part, though, I've found him to be a pretty unfunny troll who just likes to complain.

In his review of Wii Sports Resort he pretty much says as much, stating that he's skipping the sports he likes because it would be no fun to talk about, and just talks about the ones he hates.

I thought this was common knowledge XD. Who watches Yahtzee to get an actual review?

Yahtzee's just funny...he's actually pretty bad at gaming from what I can tell...

Yahtzee was funny at first but after a while it became apparent that A. he was paid by game companies to advertise them and B. he will call any game that doesn't sponsor him bad, often for no real good reason.

Not really, he points out the bad in a game, but he doesn't always think the games bad. I agree with him on Darksiders, its a very poor game

That is a lie.

He said Portal was good!

Yahtzee is my Patron Deity btw if you couldn't tell

That was pretty funny. At first I didn't think I was able to get through the whole five minute due to listening comprehension problems (I love that term nfrom school!), but I made it.

Greets
Schepp himself

P.s. I think the darksider guy looked pretty cool... gotcha!

Zero Punctuation is always good, Branston Pickles good.


I have no idea what they're like, just that he uses them to say how awesome something is

He also said Psychonauts was good (But lets face it no one likes Yahtzee when he says something's good). And that Braid wasn't that bad, and that when Microsoft takes over the world and we're all mining moon rocks for our malevolant overlords that he freak'n called it!

Elder Scrolls, Assassin's Creed, and Too Human are some of his best reviews

Read this and thought I'd give it another chance. Nope, nothing worthwhile here, he's just another interwebz false-celebrity tosser.
