Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: A Tale of Two Poets

[Daveman]

That was actually really really cool. I like poems

 

[rofltehcat]

Quite enjoyable.

Lacks turtlenecks, tweed jackets and scarfs, though.

 

[Serious Business]

Oh. My . God.


I've had an Account for Months now, and I haven't posted a single thing on the Forums. Always silent, watching.

But this. This! When i Read that Jim and Yahtzee are both in the same show AND THEY ARE DOING POETRY i was screaming like a little girl!

This. Was . Epic.

 

[knight steel]

KAWAII This is soooooooooooooo awesome....I'm.....I'm so happy

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease continue doing this until you both are old men and even then don't stop until you die
Now then lets all celebrate by partying-cheers to Jim and Yahtzee for the great entertament-fun-smiles ^_^

Lacks turtlenecks, tweed jackets and scarfs, though.

Don't forget a chain to go with that turtleneck.

 

[bartholen_v1legacy]

That was quite simply glorious. Yahtzee could be a poet, his writing and delivery were spot on. I wonder though, if they'll come up with enough fresh topics to make this lightning strike weekly.

 

[Jungy 365]

Exquisite. Helped by the fact that I have a glass of wine in my hand, I can certainly get down to this being a frequent thing!

 

[Stryc9]

Very well done, this is an acceptable addition to my Wednesday morning routine. Coffee, Feed Dump, Zero Punctuation and now this. Morning complete.

 

[Professor Lupin Madblood]

Yahtzee was great. Pity Jim had to show up and ruin things, as is his wont.

 

[Vhite]

Word glorious seems to be the theme here and rightly so. For me as well it was first word that came to my mind after seeing this.

 

[EHKOS]

As an OCD person who always pays attention to the numbers of how long things go, repetitiveness, and making sure it always hits the same notes at the same points (One two three FOUR, five six sev EIGHT, because seven has two syllables and that can ruin the exactitude of the pattern) I have to say... Jim did it well and a nice job with the poetry. Yahtzee though... he started off strong, but it wasn't long before he seemed to lose track, the rhymes not showing up where they should have, and sometimes not even showing up at all. Or if they did I didn't notice them.

But then, I'm crazy. Gyahay.

I know exactly how you feel. I work with music enough so that I have an inner metronome and now it lies busted in the corner of my brain. DAMMIT YAHTZEE!

 

[Squidbulb]

I'm surprised Jim managed to resist rhyming "city" with "shitty".

 

[Jimothy Sterling]

Page one was all support, I imagine two and three are the same and I am sad. That fat animal has no place at the side of its betters and I am once more depressed that something jimmy gets his sweaty hands in manages to find purchases with the community

You should probably look into the emotional breakages that cause you to be sad that other people liked a thing another person did. I care about you, dawg.

 

[Imp_Emissary]

This is great, this is grand, this is damn fine!
Yahtzee, Jim, if you want attention then know you both now have mine.

This show is fun, funny, and smart! I may dare say, it is a work of fine art.

I ask you, I pray, I beg for more.
Do more of these shows please! I promise, giving into an audience's demands won't make either of you a sleaze.

Well done, that was fun!

 

[geier]

The british are coming, the british are coming !
Great show, please more.

Also:
Yahtzee: Sexy beard

 

[the darknees abyss]

This was awesome I love it can't wait for more

 

[Farther than stars]

Pretty good. The description is off though. Poetry is not prose, prose is just normal written or spoken language.

The description isn't the only thing that's off... Yahtzee's poem was alright, but Sterling's rhyme scheme is simply a crime against poetry.

 

[IamLEAM1983]

I wouldn't call it a crime, it's just terribly basic. Which is fine. Yahtzee's had more fun with the structure, but I wasn't exactly expecting iambic pentameters.

Besides, if it's open-mic, they should both be free to structure the poems however they please.

 

[Zombie_Moogle]

Yup. That. Do more of it

It's like if Godzilla & Gamera started a jam band

 

[Chechosaurus]

I liked this and it certainly has potential but it was lacking a certain energy.

I would love to see more but I feel like that, between the two of you, you have could really brought it to life a little more. It reminded me of the first episode of Jimquisition a little because it was just both of you stood in front of a white background talking. Were you going for a sort of "dingy open mic night feel"? That could totally work but it felt a little unrefined.

Also, it felt like you were both in the same video as more of a coincidence than collaboration. Just two entirely separate poems that merely happened to follow on from each other. I'd like to see some back and forth or some sort of relevant connection. You could do poems that are related somehow or perhaps just email verses between each other and then paste it together, add some pzazz and BOOM. Solid gold.

Look forward to seeing more either way though.
