Poll: Who else will buy Yahtzee's book?

[Little Duck]

I probably won't. Reading is for poor people. I'll get my black slave to buy it for me and then read it.

I jest. It all depends. If it gets good or above average reviews I'll buy it. If the times or the mail rags it out I'll definately buy it.

 

[Eskimo_In_Egypt]

I'll download the pdf instead. If I think its balls out hilarious, I'll buy it in support of the author.

 

[Owlgravy]

If the humour is anything like his last two novels (Fog Juice, Articulate Jim; they're on his website if anyone wants to read them), I will be more than just wanting it.

 

[Nazulu]

Hell yes! I like everything he does so I have no doubt this will be good.

It better be good *shakes fist*

 

[Korolev]

Yahtzee makes funny videos.

That does not necessarily mean he can write a funny book.

I have read enough novel adaptations of films, and seen enough film adaptations of novels to permanently remove the idea that just because someone can work in one medium, he can work in all of them.

I'm willing to give Yahtzee's book a shot, definitely. But I'll read a chapter or two in Borders before buying it.

It's just too early to declare if you will buy it or not.

Needless to say that I wish him all the best. He can't do Zero Punctuation forever after all.

 

[Sethzard]

From his novellas he's excellent at punctuation, he's actually quite the pedant.
I will buy it instantly, if it is close to fog juice's sheer brilliance then he will sure as shit have my money.

 

[Jark212]

I'll buy it and read it in a Australian accent...

Yahtzee is English. He has an English accent. And don't say you couldn't know that, because it says under every video. So read it in an English accent.
And no, not BRITISH accent, because that could be everything from Yahtzee to Soap MacTavish.

Being an ignorant American, these things sometimes skip my mind...

 

[Beefjerky]

Yeah, I'll probably check it out. Can't be half bad can it?

 

[reg42]

Yeah, I will.
I'll have to probably import it, which sucks ass.
It sounds interesting, I've never heard of a book, in which the main character is truely fictional.

 

[ace_of_something]

Just because he's good at one type of media doesn't mean he'll be good at another. Hell, the man says that all the time about people who make movies that go to games.

Where is the option "Wait for the review"?

My vote also goes here.

 

[Akai Shizuku]

If I find myself with the dough, I'm picking it up for sure.

 

[YoUnG205]

If any one other than Yahtzee had written something about a character in a mmorpg then i would never have bought it but, just becuase I think yahtzee is a good writer I will check it out.

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

Yahtzee's writing a book?

I guess it depends how much it is

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

I'll buy it and read it in a Australian accent...

Yahtzee is English. He has an English accent. And don't say you couldn't know that, because it says under every video. So read it in an English accent.
And no, not BRITISH accent, because that could be everything from Yahtzee to Soap MacTavish.

Yes and no. English entails brummy, manchunian, stokey...even "English" as an accent isn't accurate.

I'll definitely buy it if it is on sale in the UK.

 

[hazabaza1]

Kettlefish.

And what that means, is maybe. Unsure and the moment.

 

[londelen]

I will, if I can find it. Is it out yet?

 

[Blanks]

The book sounds way too much like Looking for Group (which is a great comic) so i kinda doubt i will

 

[David Bray]

ME! I'm a comic fantasy writer so it's write (heheh) up my alley. I hope it sells big.

 

[snow]

I'll buy it and read it in a Australian accent...

Yahtzee has a British accent though.

Is his book really about an MMO world that suffers from genre cliches? That sounds a lot like .//hack except without the silliness

 

[Andalusa]

What's a kettlefish? Do you mean [http://www.carolscornwall.com/On%20the%20Beach/Cephalopod-Cuttlefish%20bone13-03-09.jpg] cuttlefish? [http://fundiesvatheists.lefora.com/composition/attachment/c441ea1fa6c330e0c9bc72ff5c5e7d54/192970/ComCuttlefish9.jpg]

Anyway, depending on my finances at that time, I may or may not buy it... if I don't buy it right away, I'll probably ask for it as a Christmas gift.
