Do you still watch Zero Punctuation every week?

[Sumrex]

yes its one of the highlights in a normal droll week, plus its one of the few things that makes me really laugh nowadays.

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

Depends on the game he does and if I feel like it. I don't typically watch them all. I'll catch up eventually if I fall behind.

 

[Auron225]

Yep. I still enjoy it but definitely not as much as I used to. Remember after watching your first few episodes? To me he was the funniest thing on the internet. And I could only make out half of what he said =P

 

[Lazy Kitty]

In one word? Yes.
Every week.
It keeps me entertained.

 

[Atmos Duality]

Given that my browser stopped loading the videos on this site (and elsewhere) after updating it, no. Not really.

I can't view anything that uses the "embed" tag.
(it will still download the audio; but not the video component. It's weird. No, a reinstall did not fix the issue, neither did disabling/enabling my plugins/add-ons, neither did the flash update.)

 

[Continuity]

I dont spend as much time here now EC has gone, so I frequently miss a week or twos ZP eps, but then I'll drop by and catchup. So yes i'm watching them, but i'm not eagerly awaiting each ep like I used to. I think i've got slightly jaded with Yahtzee TBH, hes a cynical console gamer (i'm a PC gamer) who doesn't like any of the genre I do... So him being funny is only going to carry so far.

I definitely think hes not as funny as he used to be though. Watch some of his old eps and compare them to the new ones...

 

[Kermi]

It goes up about 4am Thursday my local time and I get up at 6, so I usually pop it on while I'm getting ready for work.

 

[Dunkerloop]

I watch it mainly because most shows/webseries/comics/blogs I watch/read update on Wednesdays, so I already know I'm going to be spending a lot of time on the internet anyways.

 

[Saibh]

Provided I have played the game or am really interested (or if I've played a previous game in that series). His critiques are a lot more enjoyable if you understand what he's going on about.

 

[Deathninja19]

i dont watch as religiously as i used to, but him and jim and the only shows on here that i still keep up with every week

i still find it funny that i used to be like "kick jim off this site!" and now im like, "new jimquisition episode...squee!"

Yeah he does grow on you. I think what's best about Jim is that he does explain himself well so that you can understand his points even if you don't agree with them.

OT I still watch ZP but it's become more out of habit than genuine enjoyment, I think Yahtzee has grown bored with ZP and is just doing it for the extra cash which is sad but then again it must be hard to do the same thing every week and keep the quality consistant.

 

[Osaka117]

Every week without fail. It's the main reason I'm on this site, although I'm glad that because of Yahtzee I was introduced to the many other entertaining series here.

 

[AD-Stu]

Watch it every week and still getting a laugh out of it.

 

[FallenMessiah88]

Yup, I always watch it on the day it comes out, preferably with a snack and a cold coke in hand. However, since I make it a point to have it be the last thing I watch before going to bed and because of me being an "owl", im usually too tired to comment afterwards.

 

[Gnarynhar]

Sometimes I'll skip it for a few weeks, then come back later and watch everything I've missed, and then a good portion of (if not all) the videos over the next few days.

 

[Epona]

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.

What happened at PAX?

 

[Jovip]

yes, honestly it is one of the best parts of my week, all the regularly updated videos here are. I know exactly the day and am very excited when i get home to pull it up and watch the episode. Sad days have been completely destroyed by some of yahtzee's videos.

 

[face_head_mouth]

I do almost every week. I always check, but if it's a "brown shooter" then I usually skip it (mainly because I think Yahtzee has already said everything he possibly can about them and I find it tiring to here the same things over and over).

I give Yahtzee a ton of credit. I've been watching him for 4 years now (ever since Assassin's Creed) and I've watched the first 100-150 videos probably at least 3-4 times each (I would marathon them when I was bored or depressed, which used to be a lot). When I started watching, I knew almost nothing about any games from 1999 on; now, almost all thanks to him, I've not only played some amazing stuff, but I feel that I understand the thought processes behind the creative decisions that game programmers make a lot more (although I've done a bit more reading and exploration of it by myself, he was the person that encouraged me to do so).

Having said all of that, I have to admit that sometimes I feel that I don't have anything else to get out of him. I continue to watch, and sometimes his jokes or visual gags will surprise me or make me laugh, but I don't know if I have anything else to learn from him. It's still entertaining, and I still look forward to his reactions to certain games (for example, Shadows of the Damned and Catherine, and whatever new installment in the Silent Hill series), but it used to feel like more than just entertainment.

 

[Sewer Rat]

I still do, frankly because it gives me something to do. Beats watching the Cleveland Show on hulu... Yes, I am that bored these days.

 

[Move127]

If I'm not playing the game he is reviewing, then I watch every week.

 

[midnightrose07]

I need the snark. It makes me happy. Also, it gets me through the rest of the week.
