Poll: Zero or Extra Punctuation?

[neoontime]

I enjoy EP but there couldn't be EP without ZP.
Note: Sorry if I am too lazy to spell it out fully.

Out of curiosity, which do you prefer, Zero Punctuation or Extra Punctuation? I'm writing a piece on how ZP is more popular than EP due to the format differences, but I'm wondering which people really prefer.

EDIT: Also, is it because you prefer video to text? Or vice versa, of course.

Ummm why is there any preferance at all? Extra punctuation is simply an extension of the Zero Punctuation episode.

Extra punctuation makes more sense with reasoning and suggestions. Not just nitpicking, swearing and complaining.

I find Zero a lot funnier. I mean, he's a funny man to start with, but I think Extra explores the more serious side of the points he's trying to make. He does make the points in Zero, but there is definitely a strong focus on comedy in Zero too, which is why I say non-gamers can watch it. I think that to read Extra, though, you'd have to be pretty interested in the games/Yahtzee's opinions.

Zero Punctuation, because it's in video format and more amusing. Extra Punctuation is like the icing on the cake.

I suppose I should clarify: It seems to me like EP is just like ZP, just in text form instead of video. The humor seems to be the same quality, albeit a little less shouty and sweary, but the writing seems about level. Thus the focus was more on which format you prefer.

Thanks for the responses at any rate, it helped.

Both are okay. I tend to read every Extra Punctuation column. While I don't necessarily agree with Yahtzee when it comes to many topics, Extra Punctuation tends to provide very interesting ideas and arguments.

ZP is, well, ZP.

ZP is quite funny , much more amusing but EP makes a lot more sense and is good and entertaining o read.

or both??

seriously I like them both in equal measure, theyare both written by the same guy after all

 

[Daipire]

I never got into EP, but is it just me or is ZP getting worse lately?

 

[Metal Brother]

I'm not sure. Zero Punctuation is definitely more entertaining, but EP is certainly a good read, covering some interesting topics and just being Yahtzee throughout. I'm stuck somewhere in the middle, though if I had to choose between watching the new ZP or reading the new EP, I'd probably go for the former first.

Well said.

I watch ZP every week and read EP almost every week. They are both good, but the video format of ZP makes it much more entertaining.

I find Zero Punctuation very entertaining and have a good laugh, while Extra Punctuation is more interesting. Sometimes I find ZP a bit immature when he's trying to appeal to a different audience (you know who you are) while EP is more intellectual.

While ZP is hilarious and takes the piss out of games, EP offers more valid points and goes into general detail.

I like ZP better though, it's a good way to pass time.
