Zero Punctuation: Console Rundown

[Akaricloud]

TO everyone here crying. Grow a fucking pair.

I'm sorry, but WHAT does Yahtzee or Escapistmagazine owe you? Perhaps I could understand why your all crying if you PAYED to view their content. Once a week Yahtzee releases a video which you all run over here to watch, mooching up the bandwidth and returning nothing. Just I'm 100% sure that everyone who bitches here doesn't click or follow up on the adds.

Quit crying, Yahtzee owes you NOTHING, I'm sure he won't be staying up tonight in a cold sweat over the fact a few people aren't happy with him.

PS.

@NezumiiroKitsune; Refer to said above words about growing pair. Your acting like the big bad Yahtzee came and took your ice cream.

As others have said, "Schrödinger's Console" is possibly the funniest thing Yahtzee's ever written. Absolutely classic line, that.

Time is money.

I want my money back.

Shame there was no new ZP this week. Its my 2 minute high-light of my week. Ah well, perhaps next week will turn better luck.

 

[antman9000]

to all you people complaining they did this for no reason, you must be blind

"This week we're all (including Yahtzee) in New York to accept our Webby awards. We'll be back next week with a new Zero Punctuation, but for now, have another look at this encore presentation of one of our favorite episodes, Yahtzee's review of the console war. Cheers, and thanks again to everyone who voted for us."

love ya work Yahtzee

Next week we deserve something big, like MGS4. No retrogaming excuses, please.

The Escapist need us more than we need them. Without us they dont exist. So no, they dont owe us anything, but it does well to keep your customers happy, even if those customers only pay with there time.

So yes I'm upset, I'm over it now dont get me wrong the shock wore off after 6 hoursish. My post was aimed at people who feel a need to post to tell people not to post dissatisfactory remarks in the thread, however my post indeed was therfore doing the exact same thing but in reverse. Oxymoron . Anyway, we all have a right to complain, otherwise what the hell would democracy occomplish. I'm dissatisfied therin I complain, enough people complain, things change. Thats how things get done, in the future I hope the complaints, and the suggestions of, instead; just posting a blog update when they cant do a video, get the job done.

Akaricloud: You signed up, just tell people who express there dissatisfaction to "grow a pair". You thought that was so integral to your future and prospects in life, that you could justify signing up just to tell me that. We are all big overgrown babies in a the playpen of the internet (forum) flinging mud at each other. We all have this wonderful dellusion that we alone are right, and everyone else is a moron who should shut up. Unfortunatly this causes stupidity merely to grow and grow until were all calling each other good sir and writing long overly verbose responses to a remark that was barely worth commenting on the begin with. Oh how futile life has become I'm going to keep complaining thanks.

10 bucks that if they had just skipped, you would all be bitching just the same.

I must agree. Go the fuck up.

 

[darthur]

Boo. Want new jokes.

[Marriot]

the fine print in the front page says sorry for this repeat because Yahtzee and the team are accepting an award you have graciously voted for us to win. So quit complaining

 

[psyberdemon]

Yahtzee, man. Could you have sounded more depressed making that video?

 

[AlphaWolf13]

NO IT'S NOT XD

MGS4 is out. And I have completed it. MEWHAHAHA

Why should I care? MGS4 will be awesome, but in any case, I don't care if you beat it... But did you enjoy it??

Also, why is everyone whining? They said that he's out and it was a rerun...

Um if you haven't noticed the Escapist is probably generating income from the ads and online store. You argument is firmly rooted in the Ass-like (Ass as in the animal, not the body part) mentality to commerce. The Escapist doesn't need to focus on entertaining YOU when its pretty clear that while a few disgruntled readers leave, more people will come to replace them. This is the internet, theres always somebody stumbling on to a website for the first time.

Also democracy isn't the right to complain, its the right to the illusion of contributing to society.

EDIT:

WTF? If the don't exist without us than that would mean they owe us for paying attention, you've contradicted your first two sentences in the opening of the third.

Excellent installment. More people need to watch this.

This was the ninth comment on the original thread for this video. This is quote made me laugh in retrospect, considering the general clusterf*** that Zero Punctuation has become.

Okay then you win, heres a deflated baloon and £2 off your next armpit hair cut. I dont care, I know democracy doesnt work, but it entitles us the right to complain, even if no one listens. I wish I could make Red Dragon buffer, dammit I hate Youku.

Ad companies wont pay the escapist piddley squat if theres no one to click the links, and Yahtzee makes up a sizeable proportion of there ranking figures. Not really making a point there, but he does, I think the escapist rankings went up by 3,000,000 visitors when they enlisted Yahtzee. If I can get the figures again I'll post them. Since, he's brought many more into the fold. I now personally enjoy The Escpaist for multiple things, and many of my other favourite webtoons are on here. So, I've forgotten where I was going with this, oh right yes thats the ticket, I just going to enlighten you futher, hurrah, by saying I dont think anyone has left because of this. Us leaving was just an theoretical scenario, totally hypthetical. I think it was in response to erm... something about them not owing us something? Probably. Anyway have a fantastic evening, I'm going to go cry into a salty sponge of syringes, I really hate Youku. However I finally have got Silence of the Lambs to buffer Yay, off.

The man speaks the truth. Dizzy fucking ROCKS!

 

[BullyJimmy]

I love this show.

And as a consolation prize for such over-dramaticsm I bestow upon you sudden aviation via an elevating foot to the gluteus maximus.
Further more on what interpretation of democracy are you basing this off?
French, Ancient Greek, American, British or Australian?

Well of course no ones left, if someone was that offended to leave they would've at least dumped a post calling us all crazy madmen for paying even the slightest attention to this site. Also the correct term whether your British, American or Canadian is Hypothetical.
