The bit where the imps do a review caught me off guard. Which was the point, I suppose, so clever move there, Yahtzee.
I do agree with the review of Halo Wars. RTS games have always struck me as being almost tailor-made for the PC much in the same way fighting games seem almost tailor-made for consoles.

How to select all flying pricks for tactical insertion: Select all Pricks with the left bumper button and then press the right trigger until the picture of the flying prick is highlighted.
This also helps selecting individual types of units so you can do more than just give the "Get 'em!!!" command to all your units.

Excellent review as always ^_^ thank you for making these videos for all of us to watch and enjoy. Laughter always makes people feel good. I personally thought that the guy from unskippable did a great job with his mini review. I think he did a great job adapting his own writing to the style and speed of a ZP skit. In fact the amount of imagery and writing on the screen at any one time reminds me of the early ZP videos. I really enjoy having so much content that I even have to pause the video to absorb it all, so I appreciate that the Unskippable guy's section was packed. Great video, the both of you =D
Unskippable guy sounded like he was doing a commercial, or like he is a football commentator. He was still funny, though...in a retards point of view. (Basically cause he imitates Yahtzee in a stupid way)
"RTS nerds take this as an invitation"
Ok I will.
A) Console RTS's blow. They just don't work well, if at all. Choosing one to introduce yourself to the genre was like choosing to take meth cut with Drano to get an idea of what being high is like.
B) RTS's very wildly within the genre. One extreme is the base builder, with mass's of units where "micro" is relatively less important and any given unit is very unimportant. The embodiment of this is Supreme Commander. Large scale, economy heavy etc. The counterpoint is are RTS's (sometimes called RTT (real time tactics)) that focus on a very small number of units, with very little base building where the focus is on units, and controlling them instead of your economy. Company of Heroes or Dawn of War II are excellent examples of this.
C) You will probably most enjoy the later from your description of what you dislike about RTS's. Relic (as the current march mayhem polls show) is an excellent developer for this. Take the opportunity to review Dawn of War II or the new Company of Heroes expansion Tales of Valor.
