A Handy Glossary of Yahtzee Terms

[boholikeu]

Did anyone honestly not know the meaning behind those terms? They're used pretty often in video game reviews...

Honestly, don't underestimate your viewers, Yahtzee

 

[rembrandtqeinstein]

I think the entire point of this article was so Yahtzee could make everyone lose The Game....

 

[VichusSmith]

Maybe these terms need to be explained, but I thought these could be deciphered when you hear them in context.

 

[Ashcrexl]

i never really got what he meant when he used "fat" in his reviews. but now i understand a key component of video game journalism. thanks yahtzee!

For the first bit, it's not impossible that the life of Jesus as described in the gospels was a work of allegorical fiction. Various incongruities in the story when compared to what you'd expect historically and ... know what there's too much of a topic there to cover in a throwaway paragraph, I'll leave it at saying that there are interesting webpages about the potential for Jesus to be a mythical figure (or at least one that, as originally conceived, was a divine figure from the heavenly plane, without any earthly manifestation as a man) that anyone competent at googling should be able to find.

As to the second, I've always understood what was said. But know a fair number of long words, and am English (so the slang's never a problem), I may not be a representative sample of the population.

The comparison of Space Invaders and Kane & Lynch made me giggle. Other than that, getting out of ideas of what to write, hmm?

How did you get that impression?

It's Z/XP. Some people have to be negative even if they have nothing to actually say. It's a rule.

 

[Lord_Gremlin]

Whats the deal with calling us fat? I'm not fat... Quite the opposite.

 

[_Nocturnal]

For example, you might be able to take cover from bullets, but if the cover gradually gets destroyed, that adds a layer of depth.

Why, that is obviously silly, sir!
Surely you mean to say that if your cover's destroyed then a layer of depth is, in fact, removed from the game, right?

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.

I now want to play this. It would either be terrible, or fantastic.

 

[LeeshaJoy]

I think Yahtzee's mistake, in the start of the article, is in thinking that religion and fandom are two distinct concepts. In fact, religion is just fandom for particularly old franchises.

 

[duchaked]

ya I could use a bit more fat actually

 

[Amazon warrior]

>_>

<_<

'm not fat.

'm just big-boned.

 

[WanderingFool]

What the Hell? I think Yahtzee is spying on me... and im not that fat, im working out...

and I actually joked with my friend by actually driving to a store and buying a candybar while he watched a cutscene from FF13. It took me about 15 minutes to and from, I got back and there was still five minute of scene left.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

God fucking dammit I lost again! Yahtzee, you really are a professional troll!

I guess 60 Kgs are too much. Should really lose some of that weight...

What about triple cunted hookers? I am curious to know if there is any hidden meaning behind that phrase or if it's really what it sounds.

 

[cheese_wizington]

I have to say, that wasn't very cool about that last comment!

Nah I don't care.

 

[8-Bit Grin]

... So nothing about Triple Cunted Hookers?

The title mislead me. I thought the article would list commonly uttered Yahtzee-ism's.
