Why do we love yahtzee?

[Zing]

He's funny and he's British.

 

[Teeth Kicker]

"OH PISS AND BLIMEY THERE'S JAM COMING OUT OF THE WALLS!"

and "Shampoo-Drinking-ly Awful"

 

[Bakuryukun]

Why do I like Yahtzee? I think his lofty standards are useful, I mean, if YAHTZEE likes a game, it must be doing something right. I didn't like Yahtzee at first though, I thought he was just another shmuck thinking he was clever by bashing videogames on the internet.

I gained a large amount of respect for Yahtzee after I reading some of his short-stories and after playing 1213, and the Chzo Mythos. Both of which I highly recommended. I realized that he genuinely wishes for the medium to go forward and is constantly frustrated by it's current state. He's also willing to put his money where his mouth is and actually make his own games.

Pretty cool guy, even if I don't always agree with him.

 

[Vault101]

Because he is hilarious and his observations spot on

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

From all his reviews the only one I saw when he did not shit all over a game was Arkham Asylum. I like his reviews because he talks about the game as you would with your friends except alot faster and in a brittish accent. He gives no game a free pass like alot of others are suspected to, hes a hater pure and simple and what does the internet love more than haters. Also IMPS.

Are we talking about the same Yahtzee here? I've never seen him do a review before.

Zing!

OT: Because he's a dick. And dicks are funny.

I just like his metaphors, especially during his yearly "awards".

 

[Spectre4802]

He can be very funny - sometimes it comes off as a little forced; after all, it just won't be right if he says generally nice things about the game in a calm, angelic voice.

That's just not Yahtzee.

And he can make some damn good points about a game - he doesn't just rag on them and make no critic-like observations, as the anti-Yahtzee brigade would have you believe.

 

[SalamanderJoe]

He's used to be funny, but in all fairness I think he wants to stop doing Zero Punctuation. He's been going for nearly three years now. He sounds like he's getting tired of it, and with him writing a book, opening a bar and trying to get a TV show off the ground it's obvious he wants to do other things.

 

[blankedboy]

From all his reviews the only one I saw when he did not shit all over a game was Arkham Asylum.

What?

He's admitted to liking plenty of games... Look at the Portal and Silent Hill 2 reviews...

He's losing it, so he needs to go troll some Nitendo Fanboys and then have another mailbag episode.
Honestly, it might be less funny because we're(as a community) getting used to his fire that we stopped giving a sh*t whether he likes the games we likes (which is almost never(Portal(here)) or not.

And to finish the night, NEEDS MOAR BRACKETFUCK.

 

[Kasper Gundersen]

He's a fast talking asshole, who doesn't care a bit about us or the game, and we love him for it XD

 

[mexicola]

Like others have already said, lately watching ZP has become just a routine I don't really finish an episode craving for more. Either he's lost his mojo or we've become used to his jokes so it doesn't pack as much of a punch as it used to. As to why do people "love" him? Dick jokes, obviously.

 

[Marik Bentusi]

Because most of the time his reviews are more reliable and he has a taste in games similar to mine.

 

[Nahhnbah]

Because he is God.

 

[zombiesinc]

... We do?

Okay, I do enjoy him, but these days I have to be in the right mood to even consider watching his videos. Generally, if I like or have played the game he's 'reviewing' I'll give it a watch, otherwise I won't bother. He can be really entertaining, but lately I find myself feeling 'meh' about the entire thing.

Especially when there are far more interesting and informative series going on like Extra Credits.

 

[A Sense Of Decorum]

He's mindfuckingly hilarious.
Next question, yea.
