How did you know I'm fat? Did you check me out on my webcam again?

Sorry, no Webcam jokes yet? Well, I'm making one.

It was really interesting to see what you mean when you explained these definitions, it certainly adds more depth to your reviews than just prattling, and you happen to make judgment that is more than condemning the many games you play (or praise for those select few).

Hehe I stopped being fat a long while before I pretty much stopped playing videogames alltogether,I 've been even better ever since.

Still it is a fitting general term for a good stretch of the gaming populace I suppose...

The only thing that's really thrown me off is "thick."

Now I get it in the sense of "thick skulled" i.e. stupid or a self diagnosed austistic.

Thick to me ment someone slightly overweight, but it's cute or at the vevry least not unattractive. Like the cute boss you so desperatly want to get with and would gladly loose your job over.

What were we talking about again?

Yahtzee, what have you done?! By calling everyone fat, you've made fat average, so now obese is fat and average is skinny and skinny is anorexic thin which has now become "How can you even exist?" size. The measurement system is now ruined!

Also, because you made me lose the game, I must do this

You are now breathing manually

I spent six years of my childhood in England before moving to Texas so I've never had an issue understanding what he's talking about. Plus, British slang is funny.

I think we have undeniable proof that Yahtzee avoids the forum of his videos. He wasn't sure if he could just claim all of his viewers were "unread thickypoes" and had to do a lackluster job of preventative defense.

Here is some helpful advice, most of them are.

I'm not fat, I'm muscular. Not the same thing.

I found this pretty useless, because the way you use the words is not that different from how everyone else use them. Well, at least those of "everyone else" that aren't stupid.

I can understand how someone without an English degree, or a Master's in some other wordy social science based topic might have a hard time getting what you are talking about from week to week. Your vocabulary probably brushes up against the 20,000 mark while the typical troglodyte that manages to bring up your reviews via banging the keyboard with their primitive truncheon after having tried unsuccessfully to eat it is still at the "ook-grog" stag of word development, yet they have enough of a lizard section to their brain that they can appreciate the flashy colors of Final Fantasy.

It is good that you care so much for these verbally downtrodden to give them a guide to your brobdingnagian thesaurus like spiteful ramblings about a medium that remains only slightly above the animation age ghetto in utilization for serious story telling experiences.

Lol at that last line.
The point about immersion is interesting and sensible. I don't think any of us ever lose sight of the fact that we're playing a video game when we're playing. (If you do you need help) Yahtzee may be completely ignorant to this fact, but motion controls and touch screens go a long way in improving his definition of immersiveness of video games, simply because they make navigating menus much more intuitive and quick.

Being near to the final boss in the game, I can't help but think of how Yahtzee will like it and of all the things he'll be sure to make fun of/criticize in the inevitable review of Kirby's Epic Yarn. My guess is that almost all of the review will be about the game's extremely childish appeal. (which isn't at all a problem or something to complain about) This includes everything from the visuals to the difficulty level to the narrated story-time style cutscenes to the option to customize Kirby's home with furniture.

Well crap! I can't seem to find anything to argue with or complain about in this article. Not only that but I find myself in near complete agreement with ol'ZP. In particular his statement about immersion being tied to the quality of the games construction.

Like if your using a well made and balanced hammer your not thinking about the bloke that made it, because your probably thinking "This is a nice hammer" "It feels like an extension of my arm and drives those nails in really well".

Shame people don't understand some terms and forced you to do this. Found it funny anyways. P.S. I am not fat, just well rounded.
Dude......that's the greatest avatar I've ever seen.

Thanks for the info though I didn't read it entirely because I was too busy doing CEO stuff and being generally important.

Yahtzee praising Uncharted?

I bet he's going to be sore in the morning.
He liked the game itself, he just hated Nathan Drake.
I know, but he hates Nathan Drake a lot.

Eventhough he liked the game, to him it must've felt like playing Half-Life 2 as written by Joss Whedon.
