OT: The message I got said I got the branston pickle badge for watching the Assassin's Creed review. I wonder what made them decide to add ZP badges all of a sudden.
Where are you seeing this? My messages don't give any descriptions that detailed. They're basically "You got an award! [award name] [award description] To view and manage your awards, go here."

Same here; I think bleach is imagining things :D

Does seem like a random time for them to suddenly add ZP badges. Not that it matters - can't hurt.

I logged in to Unpunctuated. Don't know what's why but anyone notice the first ZP is gone? No more twing-twang? WTF?

Again I've seen all of ZP before, but when I received the badges of Branston Pickle, Charismatic Stallion and Shurikens and Lightning I found it odd as I had not logged on to watched any videos that day.
A little queer I fear?

I received Branston Pickle and Shurikens and Lightning, I didn't participate in every vote of the Best Of competition, perhaps that's what the other two are connected to? I do know I've seen all of the episodes.

Are there more than 4 badges? I've watched every episode and have 4.
There's currently five badges released to my knowledge, the one you're currently missing being the People's Voice one (the one for Duke Nuk'em Forever).

Anyone else wondering why they don't have badges, it's probably either a server delay or the fact that you have not watched them whilst logged in to your account (I think back when content badges first came out there was also a certain date in May 2009 which you had to have seen the episodes after, but I'm not sure how applicable that is now). If you have watched them all whilst logged in, then I don't know what the issue is.

Twing-twang is right here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1-Heavenly-Sword-and-Other-Stuff

Strange that it's not appearing in the archive though, especially since there's currently an open spot at the end of the last page for it.

Call me crazy, but might branston pickle's "witnessed the introduction of a legend" refer to the Extra Credits episode about graphics and asthetics? didn't they say something like that line as a 'what if' scenario if everyone took their advice on board?

Captcha: which vainfir

which vainfir indeed.

Okay, you're crazy. :p

Are we sure it's not the Fallout 3 video? I remember a lot of talk about Branston Pickle in that episode.

After registering my account I thought I went back and re-watched the old ones - I bet I skipped a handful that didn't interest me. I don't care much about badges but if it gives me an excuse for a ZP marathon I just might have to :D

Perhaps this sudden awarding of badges pertains not only to watching all of Mr. Croshaw's videos, but also getting the badge for his Impossible Quiz.

so, i've watched every episode of ZP, 90% of which i watched wednesdays at 12:01, and that's not even much of an exaggeration to be honest. I've gotten 3 badges as follows:

1. Branston Pickle: Witnessed the introduction of a legend.
2. Charismatic Stallion: I know what you're going to say.
3. Unpunctuated: The First time is always the best time.

the only things I can figure is for:

1. Watching first episode
2. DOn't know
3. Watching a certain number of them more than once.

besides the lisa foiles, i haven't watched any other videos really, a few randoms here and there, but never any Jimquisitions, so we can rule that out.

okay, so i have a thought too, perhaps it has something to do with our attached gamertags/psids? like we watched a video of a game it recognizes we owned through a gamertag scan?

I logged on this morning and, in addition to the Branston Pickle, Shurikens and Lightning, Charismatic Stallion and Unpunctuated, I also had "Triple C***** Hooker" for watching 150 Zero Punctuations.

Yay?

Nine badges in total, correct? Got 'em all now.
What the heck is Yahtzee Poetry for, I wonder? Wolfenstein...?

Charismatic Stallion is a recognition of watching the original Bioshock review, based upon a tiny snip of dialogue therein, and given that I have all of the above and own no consoles at present, the second theory about gamertags and such doesn't really stand up.

They're just content badges. Why they've turned up all of a sudden is a slight mystery, given I've been getting unskippable ones for ages, but they're here now, and I'm all for that. :D
