I agree with you, kollega. He has lost some of that but he used to also have a lot more free time. It seems to me that he is overworked and therefore has lost some creativity.Kollega said:Yeah, it seems so... i think i've narrowed it down to lack of traditional British wit. Older ZPs were witty, with copious amounts of wordplay, visual puns, ridiculous metaphors, and so on. Now it's just dicks and dead baby jokes... not too exciting. So yes, i agree that he needs to take a break... not a week or two, but a month or two if he wants to be funny again. Too bad it won't happen. So i've just stopped watching them and probably won't return.Tribalbeat said:A lot of his recent Zero Punctuation videos feel like they are just lacking in quality to me. Its like watching a really bad comic trying to do stand up but halfway through he realizes that he isn't funny at all so he decides to just insult everything and act like a prick. Perhaps he just needs to take a week or two off.
EDIT: I like the way entire "you can't criticize it because it's free" crowd thinks: flaming the OP as if he's automatically wrong.
How 'bout everybody stop confusing criticism for complaining? I mean, for godsakes, this is Yahtzee we're talking about, a guy who makes his living criticizing things, and nobody would dare tell him "If you don't like the game, don't play it"!The Jakeinator said:How 'bout everybody stop bitching and watch the damn things? If you don't like it, don't watch it, and especially don't whine about it on the Internet.
Sheesh, people can complain about anything nowadays.
Indeed there are many ZP threads. Should there be a filter or something?MiracleOfSound said:So. Many. ZP. Threads.
At least the one this week came out of nowhere and actually made me laugh.migo said:I've been noticing a lot of penis jokes in his videos lately. He really is running out of things to say.
^ This is part of the reason I think. Well said SuperhyperactivemanSuperhyperactiveman said:Unfortunately, Yahtzee chose "Critquing humor" as his style, which essentially means he's only as funny as the latest game allows him to be. If a game is lacking in exploitable flaws, he is forced to import humor from other mediums. Even if a game is flawed, if it is not so in an interesting way, he simply ends up repeating himself from the last video. It's nothing to do with him and everything to do with video games at the moment.
Agreed, Op needs to exercise his right to go do something else.DeadlyYellow said:They're something entertaining to watch on Wednesdays? Seriously what more do you want? It's free entertainment.
Here's an idea, how about you stop watching for a few weeks? Then it will seem like he took a break.

What do you think of the recent Zero Punctuation videos in comparison to the older ones?

...halfway through he realizes that he isn't funny at all so he decides to just insult everything and act like a prick.
Hi, welcome to The Escapist and Zero Punctuation. You are obviously new here....he decides to just insult everything and act like a prick.
