As a singer I know what flu does to voice... But I fix that with punch of alcohol shotted down my throat like missile that might bossibly hit the hide out of Osama"trash"Bin"lard" launched by US.
I don't know about those creaming... "fan girls" got with your voice but I enjoy the context of your... Blabbering? I enjoyed the review as usually I do. It is great relax agent before I need go to listen how the tuba player tries to make me deaf every time we play with the orchestra.

So hope that you will get well soon and remember when you don't need your voice SHUT FUCK UP it helps to speed up the recovery, and do some heavy breathing trough a small tube to bucket of water, makes your lungs better and gives you idea of what all kind of shit there is in your lungs.

i always loved conspiracy theories, and last weeks ZP comments had tons of those, but figured it was probably just a flu or something, any way have a fast recovery and once again an entertaining article.

Yahtzee, you should totally do an episode with MC Hawking voice.

Alas, poor headset. We knew him well. On with the reviews. I think that you should demand a raise as the general public seems to think you are deserving of a paycheck large enough to hire an excellent voice double to do your reviews. Also, In the USA the 5 bucks is tax deductible, hope that it is for you also, as it is such an expensive piece of equipment. Well Done.

I loved that bullcrap he quoted about the "speeding things up" and pitch changes

Even I, GrinningManiac, denzin of Planet Cuckoo, said "Ah, 'ickle ZeePee's got a cold", using nothing but common sense, logic, and non-internet thinking.

People on the internet are like conspiracy theorists locked in a small room. Something ordinary happens, everyone freaks out

Farewell Microphone, you have served thee well!

Well, I might have to pick up the game at some point...I keep putting it off after my feelings with its previous.

Well, hope you get better soon!

I haven't beaten AC2 yet, but the prediction that AC3 will be "the adventures of Desmond" fills me with dread. The Historical Angle is the best thing the AC series has going for it, I was looking forward to possibly killin folks in a period like The French Revolution or possibly Victorian England, hell even Colonial America would be decent by comparison. Anything but bland sauce Desmond.

Huh. And here I assumed it was just another microphone (half correct).

Anyway, October had a news story [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/95432-Assassins-Creed-III-Could-be-set-in-World-War-II] that the next Screed could go all Velvet Assassin on us. Though I imagine better.

This means before they do a future-esque Screed game where you control Desmond, the inevitable conclusion this series looks to be heading for, they are probably going to experiment with more projectiles similar to modern combat and assassination techniques. That's my theory, at least.

I'd come to a conclusion that the Escapist were employing a double in case Yahtzee ever left and last week was a test drive, though now that Yahtzee explains it, that idea does sound a little stupid.

But anyway, RIP 2.50 mic

The problem with Desmond is that he takes a backseat to Ezio and Altair; his character is developing across the entire series whilst, with Ezio at least, the others get their development out in one game.

Get well soon Yahtzee xD and poor little microphone D:

Did people really think he sped up his voice? :/ Pfft, I can talk that fast if I already know what I'm going to say off by heart. But yeah since he did cut out pauses for breath I guess people would think that.
Dun dun dunnnn! Anyways, glad it wasn't a stand in or anythang.

It's not 'Future Desmond'... It's just 'Desmond'... o.o...

Anyways, at first I thought it was someone else, but then I heard that you pretty much pronounced everything the same and had the same style. It would either be an extremely good stand-in, or just you O.O.

I think the AssCreed -(why didn't you also use that in the EP?)- storyline is one of the coolest storylines I have ... um... experienced. I got a little *meh* when I found out it also had a 2012 concept, but still, it's still awesome imo =).

As for the gameplay... It's awesome, with some massive ragdoll failures, but still awesome.

aw she was kinda cool...even if the animation made it look like she had a really large retainer

but yeah anyway
aside from his voice (I said "cold/flu" in that one poll on the forums yayy)
this is a rare game for me in that I'd more or less beaten it right before the review game out
which is cool cuz I can totally agree that ANYTHING that did not relate to Ezio just...well wasn't as good
okay the moments with Desmond were thankfully short and not too too bad, but the thing that bothered me most with the story was whenever they delved too much into the pieces of Eden, which sadly is what the series is about and not Ezio's story
so after the two year jump, the game basically goes "yeah screw Ezio's backstory" and focuses on the mysticalities (haha that's not a word) from AC1 and well...sigh =( hopefully the DLCs will be able to tell more of Ezio's life, cuz the next game obviously will continue on without him (whee more mystical cult stuff and Desmond)

totally agree =]
funny how he uses such cheap-er, inexpensive equipment
I mean, I'd do the same, but my pc user friend would be like "no a good headset is at least $40"
and yet the quality of his recordings is better than SOME other peoples' I hear online (you know, how when people have their mouth too close to the microphone and you hear the POOF sound, or just background noise in general)

Wow, some people come up with some daft conclusions. Not that I gave a shit but when watching the video I automatically assumed he's probably got a cold or a sore throat. Seem's a much more reasonable conclusion then "HE'S BEEN CLONED!!!" or "IT'S A STAND IN!!!" never mind "He speeds his voice up". I wouldn't see the point in speeding your voice up unless it was for shit's and giggles like changing the tempo of an Oasis song to get the Chimpmonk version of Wonderwall.
