In a race of 3 where Sony/Microsoft appeared to be playing QWOP of course Nintendo was going to win. Nintendo won by simply not being bad.

The thing that gets me about this is that one of Yahtzee's biggest complaints about Nintendo is that they never do anything new, something that comes up several times in basically every Nintendo review he does; I was actually looking forward to this week's ZP because I was interested seeing how he'd react to Nintendo actually doing what he said he wants them to do, and Splatoon looking genuinely interesting besides added to that. Apparently his reaction to getting what he's been asking for is "give the thing a throwaway line and otherwise ignore it". It was quite a letdown, really.Coolblue said:
This was a fantastic episode, but that *thud* at the end was amazing. Honestly wasn't expecting that.
Not that I want to stick my nose into this argument, but wouldn't it be cataracts in his eyes or something? Wax in his ears kinda has nothing to do with reading comprehension.Coolblue said:
First, everyone, keep in mind that Yahtzee thrives on negativity, and he wasn't going to spend any time saying anything positive about E3. That would go against his entire schtick here.
Its pretty clear he had to rush through panning Nintendo, for example, because Nintendo didn't give much reason to complain this year.

Nice video Yahtzee, at least you've actually acknowledged Nintendo, unlike some other high-profile internet starts *cough* TotalBiscuit *cough*.
Two, actually. I'm super-hyped about Code Name STEAM. Even if it does seem heavily inspired by XCOM:EU and any random Steampunk property you can think of.Carbo said:
All I wanted out of E3 was an announcement of Fallout 4 
I really do wonder when Bethesda are finally going to get around to it. I mean, Skyrim's been out for three years at this point, it's about time for a new big game. And when it finally does come out, I look forward to hearing what Yahtzee thinks of it.

I know the point of these videos is to kill hype and that these are exaggerated versions of your actual opinion, but c'mon! You have to at least acknowledge the good with the bad to create contrast or perspective; or at least stop contriving arguments for why nothing is good. (Splatoon characters being in the new Smash Bros. is very unlikely at this point and is a half-assed excuse to not get hyped when there are perfectly valid reasons not to.)
On the off-hand, these are 5-minute videos, so perhaps if there were to be more in-depth discussion on E3 it would be better suited to your weekly articles instead of Zero Punctuation.
I suppose taking into account the purpose of these videos, This is one of the better Zero Punctuations as of late; but for me, the character is getting tiresome.

Yet one more reason to be part of the GLORIOUS PC GAMING MASTER RACE!
Join me, fellow PC gamers, as we sit upon our thrones of bricked consoles swirling spirits about in our golden chalices shaped like Xbone controllers while being fanned and massaged by the dirty console-playing peasants!

Yeah I can already see what would happen in AssCreed: Unity for most people.
Player 1: "Alright guys our target is heavily surrounded. Let's stay quiet and wait for an opening."
Player 2: "CHAAAAAAAAAAERGEEEE!" *runs into the crowd of soldiers killing left and right making the target flee*
Player 3: *follows behind player 2 looting all the bodies*
Player 4: *outside trying to grab a collectible*
Player 1: "Goddammit."
Also the only thing that interested me was the Batman: Arkham Knight gameplay. Watching Batman shoot out of his batmobile and into the sky in one swift moment was the coolest thing. THE COOLEST THING.
