[dududf]

It's very HaRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD

...

Also, Yahtzee, why did you say "Zee Pee" rather than "Zed Pee" when referring to your own show.

because he speaks english and not american

That is exactly my point.

YOU FAIL AT POSTING

You know what's funny? A lot of the questions were stuff that people already knew. I mean most people know the man for "Zero Punctuation", and of course the "Extra Punctuation".
Who ever came up with the questions left me asking, "Do you even watch Zero Punctuation?" Yahtzee is a respectable man of the pen, or keyboard I suppose. His diction is better put there than in speaking terms. I am definitely curious about the novel, those were the kinds of questions I was interested in. It was pretty cool that he was in Philly. Heh, of course the only I got to say to him and the crew was "They don't have the badges yet". Fun times.

Good interview. He does seem a little awkward though, as in he doesn't really like being around big crowds of people or put under the spotlight.

 

[theultimateend]

LOL! EPIC FAIL. She tries to make up a game name to be generic in her question but their actual is a game called "Z".

So I wonder if he'll review Z now .

Actually, when referring to something generic, I usually use "X", as in the mathematical variable, but given that we were at "GameX", that seemed inappropriate, so I went with Z instead.

I still don't believe that was you Susan.

Not because I don't think it looked like you, I have no idea what you look like, but that really didn't sound like you .

Not once did I want to take a nap from the soothing notes. Seriously...you are missing a calling in your reviews for doing lullaby's . You'd knock babies out.

We'll find out that this is actually Susan's real world stand in. Oh the drama will be palpable!

Kinda feel bad for Yahtzee. The woman interviewing him seemed REALLY obnoxious.

Unless I misread the subtitling at the beginning that is Susan Arendt of the Escapist . Course the second time it calls her "Susan Aredt".

Oh my fucking hod, I lost it at the audio bug HARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD!

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Interesting interview.

Personally, I think the horribleness of Sands of Time's combat was more than enough to push the title out of my favorites list. It's way beyond being merely crap-more into the "broken, unfair and frustratingly awful" territory.

 

[Dott]

I don't think I've laughed this much at an interview.
Yahtzee's awesome. End of story.

 

[In Limbo]

Be less exaggerated Susan, you're making me awkward just watching.

Edit: Just to qualify, your measured, slightly quirky review tone is ace.

 

[SimSquid92]

I am moving to Brisbane in a year, so I would love to get a job as the bartender. It'd be great to know how to make a mana potion cocktail

 

[Ari Ace]

Hahaha he looks so tired. He can barely talk... and it looks like its from energy loss. Eat something before you do a interview or at least take something that gets you "up" rock star style.

 

[4fromK]

I would so fucking hit that bar up. I'm anticipating yelling "I NEED MORE MANA" instead of ordering drinks.

 

[JonnoStrife]

Was the part about quick time events done well screwed up purposely? the sound skips, but the video moves fine.. hmmm.. Yahtzee you genius idea witholder! You're saving that for a game you're designing aren't you!?

He's a sly dog. Also Art of Theft is hard as all fuck in level 4. Or maybe I suck ass. Guess we'll never know.

Hehe... Even thought Susan Arendt was presenting and her last name begins with an "A", Yahtzee came first. YAHTZEE FTW!

 

[JonnoStrife]

When Yatzhee says "It's very hard" the sound bugs out...or was that done on purpose?

Press X to not screw up the sound!

it's very harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr damn it

Game Over! Press X to not quit.

DIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! X WILL NOT SAVE YOU!

 

[ninja555]

which ZP episode was taken over by imps?

 

[Sevre]

It still gives me a fuzzy feeling to see him answer all my questions. Except the vegemite one.

 

[Trotgar]

Eye of the Tiger starts to play somewhere around 20:30 and 20:50

 

[Kinguendo]

Oh the sexual tension, you could cut it with a spoon!

EDIT: Also, what kind of musi- damn! Susan you ninja'd me!

EDIT 2: Tall eh? How tall are you then Yahtzee? I'm 6'4... beat that!

EDIT 3: Come on, since when arent you allowed to say f**k on th... wait... f**k...? What the f**k? FFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

 

[Warpig]

Good interview. Yahtzee has a very unique and very witty sense of humour, and this video showcases that very well.
