Why don't the credits mention Yahtzee's backup poet? Sure, he didn't say much, but his timing was impeccable.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Yes Game Publishers are a storyteller's biggest curse.

 

[BloodRed Pixel]

That lamp in the background at Jim's looks like Johnny Number 5.
LOL

 

[FightingFurball]

Could you make the dog do the poem next time, jim?
That one is bloody adorable

 

[Steve2911]

I thought Jim was specifically talking about The Order at first (the devs have apparently been working on the lore and world since 2006, but the gameplay seems to be little more than a TPS with QTEs). The modern war and multiplayer stuff seems to contradict that though.

Good stuff!

All Hail Bartleby (?), Hound of Jim! All Hail, All Hail!

 

[Mr. Q]

Yahtzee's poem had me in stitches; especially the sock puppet he used as a backup singer. XD

I enjoyed yours as well, Jim. The ending almost made me want to track down a pack of fuckwits from marketing and castrate them with a rusty olive fork... until your dog popped into the video. Then I suddenly felt much better. ^_^ Nothing like a shot of a cute pet to take the edge off.

 

[Evonisia]

Oh look at the widdle doggie, pat his head and call him Chips.

...

Anyway, decent poems, and I loved Yahtzee's poetry companion.

 

[IrenIvy]

I really like Yahtzee poetry this week. Thank you, Mr. Croshaw.

 

[theyellowmeteor]

Please, either stop singing or try harder!

I thought Jim was specifically talking about The Order at first

I thought he was talking about Final Fantasy until he turned it around into bringing up shooters.

Sounded very much like it could have gone into a diatribe about the saga of Lightning, or Final Fantasy XV.

 

[LadyRhian]

Stop? Bartleby would really prefer not to.

 

[azurine]

Yahtzee's was good, but I'm left wondering if the sock puppet will be a regular thing.

And Mr. Sterling's poem was... tragic. I mean, it's a great poem, but the subject is a tragic tale. people wonder if games really are an art form, and it sure doesn't feel like it when we hear stories of great games dropping their creative spark in favor of guns guns guns, or when people are told outright that a main character cannot under any circumstance be a female.

 

[Silentpony_v1legacy]

YAY! Puppy!
Great poem Jim, but that little guy stole the show!

 

[Weaver]

Even Resident Evil 5 had punching rocks in it.

Also, I'm liking that Bartleby is getting more screen time!

 

[Dak_N_Jaxter]

I love the way Yahtzee plays with his format.

 

[Imp_Emissary]

Spoiler: :D I see what you did there.

Loved the poems today. The side kicks in them were welcomed treats.

Pandering be damned! MORE PETS, AND PUPPETS!

 

[Darth_Payn]

Yay, you guys introduced sidekicks! More of Bartleby and the Sock please! Also, which of the last two games did Yahtzee refer to? I want to say one of them was Day Z, or one of those he reviewed in his Early Access video.

 

[Eamar]

Yay, you guys introduced sidekicks! More of Bartleby and the Sock please!

I would watch the shit out of a new feature entitled The Adventures of Bartleby and Sock.

Just sayin'
