Zero Punctuation: A Shadow's Tale

[huigho1215]

probably been answered before, but I have no idea how to find the answer, but whose head is that he constantly uses, the guy with the curly hair? And what exactly is the joke there?

"Whose face is ist Yahtzee keeps using in his videos? It's not his face, is it?
No, it's a face photographed by an artist which was - according to Yahtzee - the best fit for 'emotionless' he'd ever seen in his life. I'll try and dig up the video interview in which he mentioned it.
Here The full question and answers starts around 5:30."

What? Not one reference to a category 5 cyclone being named after him?

 

[Christopher Bryer]

So all in all, he didn't much like this game, huh.


Also not on my "Reasons to buy a Wii." list.

 

[duchaked]

still working on Dead Space 2? well Isaac Clarke has a face and voice now so he's supposed to emote better now lol

or just wait for Bullet Storm, he might enjoy that a bit more than most FPS games nowdays (or he'll hate it...idk)

....Why not go with Donkey Kong Country Returns if you want to review a Wii platformer?

now that you mention it im actually kinda curious what Yahtzee thinks about this one.

If you think about it, Yahtzee hasn't actually reviewed any Donkey Kong games.

ICO isn't actually pronounced like that. But, ah, fudge it, who cares.

 

[Sonicron]

Lots of tits in this video.

Ya, noticed that too.
Maybe all the hot chicks have fled Brisbane and will only return once the waters recede. The flood has Yahtzee in a dry spell (see what I did there?).

Hoping for a Magicka review.

 

[Vjam]

It looks like Dead Space 2 is gonna be reviewed next week then, this week's was good though!

 

[jakefongloo]

Speaking of samey boring etc. etc. Until someone points me to where i can find why yahtzee is throwing such a hissy over America, if he's even explained it at all, I'm just going to assume he's throwing tantrums because his girlfriend left him for a Californian beach walker.

Fuck, there are so much more clever jokes about America, stop reaching into the garbage bin for the easy shit.

The Wii is not the graphics king. Flash of 360 with the crown. Please..... Standard console centric world view. There is another format that has better graphics. But whatever, the pic of the 360 was probably more recognizable. Typical mis-representation.

 

[garMov]

Magicka is a brilliant release!

Because it would be less of a review and more of Yahtzee going "Wii sucks, yo" for 4 minutes like he always does, even if the game in question isn't even on the Wii. Here's a fun drinking game, take a shot every time Yahtzee insults Nintendo during a non Nintendo game review. Congrats, you have alcohol poisoning. We get it Yahtzee, Nintendo burned down your house and raped your dog, but much like your opinions on countries that aren't Australia, we don't care.

 

[Thorinair]

yeah Why does American always need to be freaking different?
sorcerer's stone? does america think their youth are too stupid to know what a philosopher was?

You are aware that it's also called "Lost in Shadow" in Canada, too, right? I mean, Canada and the US are pretty much the same place in terms of game markets. And about the Philosopher's Stone title change, well, let's just say nobody's ever gone broke underestimating a child's intelligence.

Yahtzee does seem to be picking on America a lot, though. What's he so mad about?

 

[jovack22]

This video didn't seem as inspired as some of his other better ones, but it was still ok.

Well actually the Philosophers Stone was the element for immortality that all Alchemists were searching for.

It is when obeying the most common pronunciation rules of English. It's the same reason that every Japanese word imported into English is pronounced differently to the original pronunciation. If one wants to get picky, 'ICO' is arguably a misleading transliteration of Japanese to English characters. 'IKO' would have been more suitable, and is the usual way, to represent the intended pronunciation. Anyway, countless words, names and places in Japanese games and about Japanese games, are pronounced badly every day. Like 'Ryu' being a two syllable name.

The Wii is a console so compare it to consoles. Of course it's 'console centric', but that's not a bad thing in this case. I'm sure there's a super computer or experimental mega computational beast machine out there that destroys the best ATI or Geforce card available today, however, it would be a comparison entirely out of context.

It's only ever pronounced in the game as ee-ko. You can generally pronounce some written words in a number of ways but you get pronunciation from hearing them.
