Zero Punctuation: Holiday 2010

[Hader]

I crossed my arms and sat patiently when he said to sit in silence. Needless to say, I was disappointed.

Good collab either way though

 

[Vohn_exel]

That was great, hope you are enjoying your holiday. I love you reading whatever it is your reading so slowly, thats always great to watch . It's kind of wierd that I can't understand you when you read that slow, lol.

Am I the only one who thinks Yahtzee sounded A LOT like Professor Snape (Alan Rickman) from Harry Potter at the very end. Hilarious!

PS: I dragged the mouse forward as well haha.

 

[Da_Vane]

I actually had to replay the appreciation bit, as that got the loudest laugh from me. I guess I could just sit there in silence watching Yahtzee look at me awkwardly for turning up on his holiday week...

 

[Cyanide Christ]

Makes me wonder what yahtzee does on his holiday; most people here will spend their time away from work playing games; but in his case it'd only mean more work.

 

[ProtoChimp]

Holy shit the first few comments actually WATCHED the video. It's a christmas miracle.

 

[Damon Youngker]

So I learned two things today,
One, Yahtzee fanboys, myself included, are glorious mental masochists who want to watch 5 minutes of silence, just so long as it comes from Yahtzee.

But the thing I wonder is, why do you need a break? I mean... you play video games for a living, and I bet I can guess what you do on break... It's like paying a crack addict to snort crack and then saying once a year, "they don't have to"; they're still going to do it, they just won't be paid for it.

 

[No_Remainders]

I can't exactly remember, what was the last part?

It was really, really freaky.

 

[Migratingchimp]

Well seeing as how it was so disjointed. I'm just going to comment on how much fun I had reading "Mogworld" over the weekend. Got it for Christmas and was pleasantly entranced by Jim, Meryl, and Thaddeus. Fun book thanks Yahtzee.

It sounds like your book ended halfway through, then. The first half was great, the second half was a load of arse-talk and rubbish... At least, that's how it went for me. But yeah, Meryl <3

Back to the vid:
Was it just me or was it poorly edited? Could just have been Opera ballsing up, I guess.

I totally agree actually about halfway it got kinda wierd still a fun read though.

Not really, he has to play games he probably doesn't always like and play them to the point of completion or at least as far as he can. He then has to write something funny about them (not easy even for the funniest people) then he has to make the video itself.
Although I'm sure this isn't super strenuous it can probably lead to some lame ass weeks.

Thank you for sharing 2010's best bits with us again Yahtzee, and Happy Holidays/Christmas/whatever you prefer.

I found the last half to still be a fun and good read, abeit somewhat slightly darker, and dragging in pace a bit, like it could have hadmaybe 50 pages removed and been better because of it.

 

[Zeroresistence]

I wouldn't be to surprised if it was just 5 minutes of him sitting there. Funny stuff
Enjoy your holiday

 

[Indignation837]

Awww... I was actually ready to sit for 5 minutes and contemplate how amazing you are. Also, it's good to know I'm not the only one who thinks the Darksiders episode was one of the best from this year. Enjoy your week off!

 

[Adventurer2626]

I was actually about 10 seconds into contemplating how much I appreciate Yahtzee's Zero Punc when he shouted: "Oh, *uck it, here are some clips(quips?)" The answer is a darned lot. It introduced me to the Escapist community which has turned into a considerable blessing. Thanks Yahtzee! Your videos are hilarious too

After the holidays, Yahtzee should do a review of Fable III. I know its quite late to do it, but that is a game that truly deserves to be torn to pieces. Just like it tore my high expectations to pieces. *sigh*, fuck Lionhead, and Peter Molyneaux.

I'm going to show my fangirly-ness here, so don't laugh at me, but...He said something about it on his Twitter. Quote: "Why does Fable have such vocal champions? You want a review, here it is: Fable's never been good and 3 doesn't change anything."

I thought Fable II was enjoyable enough, once you ignored the stupid civilians. The story was alright, if a bit short, and more importantly it left quite a bit to do after the story, to which most games don't pay enough attention. This one on the other hand had much more clumsy gameplay, and the whole part after you become king, which was supposed to be the game's big selling point, was a joke. They started you off on it, and then just said " fuck it, lets cut straight to the end." The game was not long enough, and didn't have a good enough start or end to get away with that.

 

[Rasmus Mortensen]

I hope he soon review Fable III

Is anyone else having a problem watching the video? The audio keeps going, but the video keeps stalling for some reason.

To you, everything is the greatest gag ever... oh wait...

At first I thought it would only be a 5 minutes long video where nobody said anything

I was hoping it would be, dear god I was hoping it would be. That would have been one of the greatest gags ever.
