Do you still watch Zero Punctuation every week?

Yep every one on the day it comes out, once you have watched it for ages its a little less special but still the highlight of Wednesdays. People who say its getting worse are just becoming too familiar with it and frankly why else come to the escapist in the first place? Just moviebob and unskippable to fall back on otherwise.

Not every week, but I have watched every episode.. Same goes with Unskippable.. I let them pile up for a little bit and then use it as backup when youtube runs try..

Foreveralone.

Edit: Damn, 2007, not 2008. I'm getting so old.
I started a bit later but similar sentiment: 2009 was the year I found out about ZP. I've been here ever since. Came for Yahtzee but stayed for Bob and, Unskippable.

I started watching him again recently. I forgot how funny he is. I've got lots of free time, since I only work nine hours a week, and a seven-minute review isn't any big time-stealer.

First thing I do every Thursday morning is grab my laptop and watch the new episode. I live in New Zealand so I'm a day ahead of most of the world

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?
You don't recall the site's infamous "help us raise money to pay Yahtzee to fly out to PAX" lottery?

Dude my very first post on the Escapist forums was a 3D model I made of the Zero Punctuation imp. So Zero Punctuation is pretty much the only reason I'm here.

Although since checking out the articles, I also rather like Critical Miss, but that's another thing entirely

I lost interest in ZP a few years back. The formula got old for me after about 10 episodes at which point it was no longer funny.

That said, I still watch it weekly as something to watch while eating a meal. I could say the same for Unskippable, Jimquisition and No Right Answer which are the only other shows I watch.

Extra Credits and Lisa's show were the only two that I would go out of my way to watch. EC is always interesting and makes you think, Lisa's show was still actually funny when she left.

Also the Escapist podcast is great...it's a show I look forward on this site these days.

I'll usually watch Yahtzee and MovieBob's videos the minute I see them on the front page, I watch every episode of the Jimquisition too, but the viewing is a bit more sporadic.

No, I guess I wasn't paying attention.

Edit: Looked it up. Nasty stuff.

I watch it every week, but lately it's the second thing I watch on Wednesdays, after Feed Dump. Or third, if Miracle of Sound has something up.

For the most part. Sometimes I will take a break from watching them (any of the videos really) and when I come back to them (and watch all the ones I missed) I enjoy it a lot more than if I didn't take one.

OT: Yes, I watch it every day before school (and if I can't, I watch it when I get home).

It is my daily highlight (right up their with TF2 Drops and Extra Credits).

Only when he reviews a game I'm familiar with.

Since he bashes EVERY game and doesn't give any form of real review, you don't get the jokes unless you've played the game.

He's like a Modern Gaming Angry Video Game Nerd...if he sounded like Crocodile Dundee.
