Do you still watch Zero Punctuation every week?

[Metaphysic]

I tend to agree with him on a lot of things (he admits to hyperbole and exaggeration for the sake of humour, especially in recent videos), and I find his reviews to be absolutely hilarious.

Captcha: Large earhese. Um..... no thanks.

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

Yup. Still hot and fresh, still loving every bit of it.

 

[game-lover]

Yep! I sure do! I keep track of it loyally and all that jazz.

Got my brother into it recently too and he always shows up in my room to watch it at the end of the day.

every wednesday, as soon as it comes out

i need a life...

 

[aashell13]

normally, yes.

it's entertaining at least, even if i wouldn't base my opinion of a game on yahtzee's reviews

 

[mihajelko]

Still watch it every week since the discovery of the glorious Escapist website.

 

[mrc390]

Eh, it's starting to get a little stale, but I watch most of them. Now that AntiSocialFatman died (RIP dude, you were too young!) Yahtzee is the best sarcastic game-reviewing Brit left.

Are you comparing AntiSocialFatman to fucking Yahtzee?

 

[The Breadcrab]

Yep, every Wednesday I watch it. Though at the same time, I've been getting disappointed with his more recent episodes.

/entering-minor-rant-mode

His jokes just aren't quite as funny anymore. I used to legitimately LOL in his earlier episodes (and still do when re-watching them), but his current episodes make me chuckle at best. Not to mention he recycles many jokes now (Saints Row: The Third reused a certain 'disembodied' joke), and some of them are now overly elaborate or simply consist of Yatzhee criticizing himself ("Caffeine 3? Oh god, that was terrible!" Yes, it was. What, was that the joke?). Alas, I'll still keep up with ZP unless it gets truly unwatchable. Let's hope it doesn't go there.

Yep, the vids are part of my routine. I watch Jimquisition on Monday, The Big Picture on Tuesdays, Zero Punctuation on Thursday, and Escape to the Movies on Fridays.

 

[Misterian]

I watch every new video every week given the chance.

These videos really know how to get me out of a bad mood.

 

[Princess_Dee]

Hell yeah!!

It's a weekly reminder to pleasure myself with his voice...
Mmmmmmmmm

 

[Wieke]

Yeah I still watch ZP every week, though I'll watch Feed Dump first. (And sometimes Miracle of Sound's song first as well, especially if it is based on a game I like.)

 

[Zen Toombs]

Yupp, for the most part. I sometimes forget and watch it on Friday, but I enjoy Zero Punctuation a bit too much. He's part of my Wednesday internet routine!

 

[Leemaster777]

The first Yahtzee review I ever watched was his Super Smash Bros Brawl review. I have NEVER missed a review since then.

As many have said, it's the highlight of my Wednesday.

 

[ResonanceGames]

Eh, it's starting to get a little stale, but I watch most of them. Now that AntiSocialFatman died (RIP dude, you were too young!) Yahtzee is the best sarcastic game-reviewing Brit left.

Are you comparing AntiSocialFatman to fucking Yahtzee?

Actually it was more of a passing reference, since I just found out that he died. But I think it's hilarious that you're so upset by the comparison. Yes, I preferred AntiSocialFatman to Yahtzee. What's it to you?

 

[The Breadcrab]

I have noticed that I rarely watch Zero Punctuation these days. Don't know why, I just don't. Do you watch it less now than you used to?

Haven't watched them in almost half a year now. Don't plan to start up again. Got sick of him. That whole "pay me the long green or else I won't show up to pax" stunt just sort of sealed the deal. Too much negativity. Too crude. Too narrow minded. I never liked his defense of "I don't review games, I'm a game critic". Roger Ebert is film critic, that doesn't mean he goes out of his way to hate everything he sees.

The guy's also been flat out wrong a lot of times. I liked how his two worlds two panning revolved so centrally around the fact that "there's no tactile difference between number pad 4 and number pad five." My response: "Uh yes there is you dullard..." I want you run your fingers along them both... right now. You should notice most num pad 5's have a divot on the five. Tactile. Difference.

When a columnist gets something flatly wrong and never fesses up to it it always tells me they're not worth following anymore. A real man can own up to his mistakes.

Exactly what I was thinking (regarding being wrong some times). I have some examples myself:

- The Darkness Demo: He got stuck at the gate, not knowing what to do. Not really realizing that when the level starts, there's a man in front of you that tells you how to open the gate. (shoot the electricity box)
- Killzone 3: He stated you can't assign aiming to the triggers. Yes you can! How long did the guy spend in the options menu?
- Resistance: He didn't know Resistance 1 had a health-pack system, and dismissed it as another "brown shooter" with regen health, without even playing it. Talk about ignorance.
- Mindjack: He got the boss fight wrong. Not that I really blame him as it is vague, but a lot of other reviewers figured it out, a lot earlier than Yahtzee reviewed it. Lack of research.

I'm certain there were other times I found him to be wrong. It's fine if he makes mistakes, but he never addresses them, which is a bit of a problem.

 

[Sethzard]

I watch Yahtzee, LRR and bob, and of course Miracle on the days they come out.

 

[Kwik won]

fucking ay i do, i remember first seeing them last yeah and watching every ep back to back and then watching every one weekly

 

[nononoiefiewpfoiejofijp]

You're alone on this one OP.

 

[Double A]

I've been watching it every week for several years. I also watch Bob's stuff and Jim every week. I used to watch LRR, Unskippable, and Spoiler Warning every week, but that kind of stopped after summer. I'll probably let it built up till June and then watch all of them in a big marathon.
