Zero Punctuation: Alice: Madness Returns

[Josdeb]

Sounds like someone has the Summer Cold...or was speaking too much into their microphone...or has allergies. Either way, interesting.

He lives in Brisbane, Australia, Southern Hemispehere. If he has a cold, it's a Winter Cold
Edit: Got ninja'd, damn

Most likely is a cold though, it was last time his voice was like that.

As for the review, kinda makes me consider giving Alice a go. I'd never really thought about it

 

[Macrobstar]

Its his job to hate everything

Not really ots his jobs to give his opinion in a comical way, it just so happens he dislikes a lot of games, also for those saying he sounds differant, he just has a cold its happened before

 

[Ashcrexl]

Wait wait, i get it! yahtzee purposefully did some seriously surreal voice manipulating in order to evoke the sense that us, THE VIEWERS, are going mad!

brilliant move! i'm... not sure... if this thread actually exists anymore. did i just watch something?

 

[octafish]

New Mic? Anyway, American McGee has pretty much said himself that the game is a bit of fanservice and that he wants to get back to making the next Farmville or grindfest MMO or Angry Birds or whatever he is doing in Shanghai. I am not being facetious by the way, he has stated that core gaming is a dying business and the future is in social media games.

A shame, I did like Scrapland, and the original Alice.

EDIT: Ouch just checked the Brisvegas weather. It's almost as cold as down here in Melbourne.

Aw man, I was hoping for Shadows of the Damned instead but you just couldn't let Alice go through unscolded I guess.

 

[mental_looney]

Is it me or does it sound like he's got a really bad cold.... the games ok, hd reake feels so old though and you need to quick save alot at some points not the most awesome controls on console since they lost the mouse

 

[Macrobstar]

This person tried to sound like Yahtzee, but it's as if certain inflections were different. Return our Yahtzee alien scum. We are gamers and we have a long and storied history of knowing how to blast your kind back into space.

I'm assuming your joking but just in case your not, it was yahtzee

 

[Shjade]

That post-credits joke...ow. Just ow. ;.;

 

[-Dragmire-]

That little laugh at the end was great, no idea why I found it so funny.

I agree, I laughed way more than I should have...

I might rent the game, I've never played the first one and it looks interesting, visually anyway.

 

[Pyramid Head]

I actually was looking forward to this game when i first saw it's announcement.
...and then i totally forgot about it. Probably for the best, i saved the pre-order for Catharine.

 

[Humble Grapefruit]

I died when he did that little laugh at the end. I agree though, I bought the game with high expectations and got sort of bored with it. The art work is really nice and the concept is alright, but it gets rather repetetive.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Feeling another person's bum warmth on the toilet seat is right up there with stepping in to a wet spot with my socks in the bathroom.

And get some cough drops will ya!?

 

[blindthrall]

The T-1000 drawing was fucking gold. As was the credits joke involving an umbrella. That's worse than the Joker's pencil trick.

 

[Alfador_VII]

Yeah, thought he sounded a little ill. Hope it's not too bad.

That laugh at the end over the incredibly lame pun really made the review for me

 

[Sonicron]

That post-credits joke...ow. Just ow. ;.;

Indeed. Incidentally, this is where I laughed the hardest in this review.
Also, the medical joke in the final caption (right after the cocktail umbrella line) was pretty clever as well.

I actually kind of liked the game, but then I've never played the first one, so I'm unable to make the comparison.

 

[Servallier]

Being perfectly honest, i mostly got this for the original game that happened to be in the bundle and that i had wanted to play for a good few years now, but never got around to getting the PC version

Entertaining stuff as usual Yahtzee, keep up the insulting work

 

[GeorgW]

Your voice sounded really weird to me, threw me off through the entire episode. Otherwise good one, could have hammered in the repetition and art design though.

 

[Dana22]

'Batman Returns' ? 'Return of the Jedi' ? Oh Yahtzee you silly goose !
