I'm glad I didn't see the posters first then, the film acts like the spoiler is a surprise. Oh film posters, why must you be crap and revealing?

Buahaha, that was really great. I was wondering how the heck he was going to get along with this idea if he only stuck to video games.

I wonder if he's going to start doing album covers. That's a whole new can of worms!
Mind.... Blown!!! :D

Let try and one up that with... "Judging Websites; by the cover." ?

Anyway, this was great fun, thanks Yahtzee!!! ^_^

I believe I speak for all of us in expressing our appreciation to Yahtzee for spreading his wings a little when I say:
"NNYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

This is going to be a goooooooooodddd series. Can't wait for more, but between this, Zero Punctuation, Critical Miss, Erin Dies Alone, Honest Trailers, 8-Bit Philosophy, and the relatively few good articles I should manage just OK.

Escapist, I can't pause this video player, and this isn't the only video where I've had this issue. I suggest you fix it before I consider Yahtzee - the only reason left for me to visit this site - to be unwatchable.

I like Yahtzee, I really do.

But this just bores me to tears. I'm sorry.
I have watched 3 episodes of this, and each time it was dull.
I know Yahtzee is a smart person, but it just isn't showing here.

So, I'm sorry Escapist, but this is a video series I will not be following anymore.

I will never look at a Terminator skull the same way again...

Other than that, I'm surprise there wasn't any fire in that third poster of a cover... Must be because Arnold's ear wasn't in it...

This is the first real miss for the series as far as I'm concerned. Nothing at all against judging the poster but rather the attempts at comedy/entertainment simply fell flat this time around.

I think reviewing the back of the game box and having fun with the game description added a lot to the episode. Something we missed here beyond a brief comment on the tagline which didn't offer much material to work with.

Keep it up.
I'm ready to see more.

Why on earth would not being able to pause a video make you not want to watch it? That seems peculiar... unless you like to hoard screengrabs of all Yahtzee's videos...

Also, how are you viewing the vids? It pauses just fine for me.

As for the vid: not sure how him taking the piss out of a cover that shouldn't really inspire mirth can make me laugh, but it did. Can Ben make Judging By The Crisp Packet/Replacement Headphone Pads Packaging funny too, though? I demand my curiosity is sated...

If you have slow internet, you can't pause and wait for the video to buffer. Or, while you might think a 4-5 minute video shouldn't be too inconvenient, sometimes people need to have quick reactions to other things like visitors or phone calls or if they happen to be watching during slow time at work.

Also, how are you viewing the vids? It pauses just fine for me.
I think it may have something to do with certain third-party extensions that The Escapist recommends disabling if you're having issues. People have been having occasional problems since the new player went live.

OT: Skeletor would be pleased with the ending of this episode.

Because watching these videos isn't the only thing I do on my computer, or at all. If my housemate drops in to tell me something important, I need to be able to pause the video so I can hear what he's saying without having to stop and start all over later. And if my connection is slow, I need to be able to pause the video and wait for it to load. As it is, I have to watch it struggle to stream bit-by-bit, which is REALLY annoying. Still sound peculiar?

And as for how, I am watching them via Firefox, with Flash up-to-date. Clicking neither the pause button nor the video itself pauses it.

I enjoyed this very much. Probably better than the film.
Ha, if only the poster had spoiled that twist, the world wouldn't be as bad. A couple of the trailers outright show that whole scene.

It seems to happen before the ad plays, so as Shrekfan said you need to disable
adblock.
I dunno maybe it's the Escapist's new way to force people to watch ads. "Don't like ads? Then no pausing. Want fullscreen? THEN WATCH THE ADS!"

OT: I laughed. Maybe I'm getting used to it, but the voice work seemed a bit better this time, it's still nowhere near as good as the voice he uses for ZP though.
