Does Yahtzee ever laugh?

[coldfrog]

Umm... he did laugh in the DC video. Several times, actually. Go back and watch it again.

You know, with your avatar, I pictured Layton solving the puzzle of the laughing cynic making all those thinking sounds, and at the last minute he's saying "AHA! He's laughing at YOU!"

I've wondered...does Ben Croshaw ever have a good laugh.....heck, or even SMILE???

I have personally witnessed him both laugh and smile. It was at a Hooters.

hmm...your names gold. are you an administrator or something? you probably work with him or something..am i right?

He's the IT director for the site, but Virgil is stationed here with the rest of us in Durham, NC while Yahtzee is in Australia.

He only laughs when a kitten drown or when Rebbecca Mayes hold a knife to his throat and demands that he does his crusty the clown intimation.

I've wondered...does Ben Croshaw ever have a good laugh.....heck, or even SMILE??? he's a comedy mastermind, but I've never heard a chuckle outta him that was sincere and unplanned. He's done it sarcastically in a few video's, but never like everyone else on the planet does.
Even in his trip to DC video, I don't recall seeing a grin on his face...

not that he gives a crap or anything..just wondering.

So does anyone think he has any true joy in his life, or is he really just a "narcisstic prick"?

I honestly don't see has this is any of our business to be honest. The Angry Video Game Nerd rages on games as well. Who cares dude?

I love Yahtzee's Zero Punctuation and Extra Punctuation. I love him comedy, I love his writing style. However, Yahtzee's personal life is none of my fucking business. I'm sorry if this appears to be Trolling by why do people care so much about his pesonal life?

First there the "Should he respond to Rebecca Maye's song?" and now this? He's a game critique, let him live his bloody life without your prodding. It's just rude dude..

Well, seeing as Zero Punctuation is scripted, he really can't laugh, and as for the Washington DC video, he was smiling half the video, it wasn't the "haha, you funny kid" smile, more of a slight smirk on his face.

So yes, he laughs.

 

[Enigmers]

I assume his laughs are booming and maniacal (otherwise he probably wouldn't work for our overlords at The Escapist.)

 

[lacktheknack]

The first I saw a video of him IRL, in an interview, he was grinning the entire time. I think he chuckled a couple times in his Washington D.C. video as well.

 

[child of lileth]

I've seen him laugh plenty of times. I think he does in every live-action video I've seen of him.

 

[Vredesbyrd67]

Listen to some of the Australian Gamer podcasts with him as the guest star. There's a few moments where he's clearly laughing. Actually, there was a point where one of the guys pointed out that Yahtzee rarely laughs.

 

[Misterian]

He is human, not a mythical cynical being. He does laugh.

personally I think it's obvious he's human and his does laugh.

Anyone who can emote can laugh. And I had teachers in school who can't be human 'cause they wouldn't emote if their lives depend on it.

 

[KnowYourOnion]

Yahtzee is just a character. Understand that.

Ben Croshaw is a human being, he has his highs and lows and does laugh.

Oh dear God!!!!
Someone with sense! I don't get why people believe that Yathzee is this non-stop criticism machine, he's a comedian and probably has a personality for the "stage" and one for when he's being a normal person.

 

[gristledemon]

hahaha wow
real laugh? who knows.
sad mocking laugh? if this topic does not do it then nothing will

Snip

I know what you mean it's incredibly ridiculous!
I really love his reviews and articles but to treat him as some sort of meta-human is just a bit sad and wonderfully ironic as so many people on here decry the rabid Twilight fans and then go and rave about Yathzee in the exact same way.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

He occasionally laughs in derision at the exploits of say, Terry & Gonad. I'd also imagine that he does the occasional twirl when no-one's looking.

 

[Captain Epic]

I can't really say, I mean I don't know him personnaly. He's probably not really that much of a prick in real life.

 

[8-Bit Grin]

I'm sure that laughing is something he does alot.

Mostly at topics like this.

 

[1nfinite_Cros5]

Behold.

 

[Celtic_Kerr]

Mmhmm, very true. As I mentioned, I have no idea why people feel this need to pry into his personal life. I don't see these threads about Shamus Young or Graham Stark.

Seriously... Piss off... It's not our business people
