Basically I'm starting this topic to gush about a newish youtube game reviewer I want to share.

They're called Bro Team Pill [http://www.youtube.com/user/BroTeamPill?feature=watch#p/u/1/4BPKE5MFaUQ]. They make hyper masculine, hyperactive, ADHD style reviews, as written by childish, homophobic, misogynistic, xenophobic, COD frat boys. They spend the entire review screaming praise about the violent FPS de jour.

Sounds terrible? Well there's more to it than that. The videos are supremely sarcastic, and the reviewer's praising about the game's assets is really just an efficient, humourous way to point out the flaws in the game. If you like pueurile swearing and nonstop snark, I recommend it for a good laugh.

-_- Sorry dude, but I don't think it's different enough to the current method of "unconventional reviews from Zero Punctuation and Jimquisition to get enough traction. And if it's limited to FPS, that's really not a large enough pool of games to pick from :(. As Daniel Floyd says "you need a hook that makes you stand out from the crowd".

Ok, neither of those two are hyper-masculine, but to be honest, neither is 95% of gaming.

Yahtzee is neither hyper masculine or ADHD. Zero Punctuation is fast paced, but it is also coherent. Also, Red Pill isn't limited to FPSs, but that is their favourite subject to rail on. They've done RPGs and action adventure too (Alpha Protocol, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed etc.)

I enjoyed it.

I love the 'bro' attitude used for comedic effect.

Maybe that's because taking the piss out of people always makes me smile.
