Fair use is a defense used when being sued by a company for copywrite infringement. The change will avoid any such suits from being filed and to me the change is justified even though I will miss the old format.Guyonator said:
For anyone who couldn't quite understand some of the jestures in his review of the movie that was not made, my interpretation is as follows.
Yatzee, while contemplating the best way to take over the world, gets pleasently surprised by a trailer for the new Indy 4 film. Seeing this gives him a massive erection which drives him to spend an exhorbitant amount of money to see it in the theater. His general enthusiasm is quashed by extreme puzzlement at what he watched. Thus he thinks Lucas is tosser and gives a big fuck you to Mr. Franchisicide.
Are we still complaining about the new intro?
Good. Because I'd like to rebut something Yahtzee said on his website:

While true, that's like saying that if your wife had been a man all along, you wouldn't be taking her sex change so hard.
terrrific job yahtzee this was a return to form for u in my opinion. i havent laughed this hard at one of your reviews in a while. but please please get some music. i understadn you dont want to rip off licensed stuff, so why not get some licensed music. this other shit is just that, shit.
I know i haven't been posting much up until recently but i watch all your reviews. Though i think the new opening is good, can't you add in a music selection with the new opening? To me the music selections u had set a tone for your review.
Escapist Mag: "Hey Yahtzee, listen, you rock too hard. our servers can't handle the kind of crazy traffic you get"
Yahtzee: "Thanks, you too"
Escapist Mag: "Right, so we need you to dumb down your reviews a bit. Stop using brilliantly selected musical choices that open and close the reviews appropriately and to put some stupid rock intro that has nothing to do with anything instead. you know, something that viewers have to suffer through to get to the review. and then a bit more suffering at the end. just to make them think twice, you know, if to view it or not."
Yahtzee: "Err."
*Yahtzee then proceeds to do the Indy Lego review*

It's only the same if you're a big enough twat to feel sexually attracted to Yahtzee's music selections.Jack Spencer Jr said:

Escapist, please sort out your video hosting. two days after the new ZP and it's 5 minutes for the damn thing to load.
People bitching about the intro, make your own damn music selections then. It was just another way for Yahtzee to show his exemplary universal knowledge of all things cool anyway. Life goes on, though a little sadder and shorter.
Yahtzee, way to bend over for the man, copyright's a *****. I've got some soothing cream if you need it.

Wow. What snappy comebacks. Apparently putting fluoride in the drinking water was a bad idea.Poptart Fairy said:
Nice intro. Gonna comb your hair partly in front of your face and cut yourself next, Yahtzee?
Seriously, I can totally dig the way the intro looks, but the horribly clichéd standard generic emo nu-metal music just ruins it. Don't get me wrong, I fully agree that there should be a solid and recognizable intro that fits the episodes, but the music just doesn't fit in at all. It's like the Prince of Persia series, which got ruined by following that hype of putting standard nu-metal into games, totally destroying the atmosphere and individuality it had. Judging from his previous work Yahtzee'd agree on that.
I really liked the way Yahtzee used to grab some older classics for your intro's, and I have to say I'm sad to see it going down the drain of mainstream standard-issue bullshit. On second thought though, the ZP episodes have also been losing their edge a bit lately, feeling more like a grind of what he *has* to do, rather than what he'd *like* to be doing. Ah well, I hope it's just a temporary depression or whatever.
So yeah, all in all, good job on getting an intro together, but for Christ's sake use a worthy themesong.
I'll probably be spat on by some of the people here, but whatever. Remember that Yahtzee hates all kinds of fanboys, I have no doubt this includes his own.

When I saw (and heard) the new intro, I thought of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, i.e. how some marketing douchenozzle figured the Prince had to be badassed up with tattoos and a soundtrack by godsmack.
I think the new intro needs the animated yahtzee jumping from an exploding helicopter on a skateboard while decapitating a hooker.

Remember, Yahtzee isn't above a little bit of hypocracy. Tee shirts for sale whilst teasing someone for the sale of their café press shirt? oh-ho! 
Don't worry Jes, it's just some idiots who take one look at the remotely-similar-to-manga-style artwork and think, "ooh, japanees stuf! someting i can start bashing 2 endeer me 2 yatzee since he haets teh japanees!" and start into parrot mode.drawnbypain said:
Oh man hilarious.
My experience with the Lego games is that if I play them single player I have a shallow and unrewarding experience and start to hat myself. But if I play them with a friend, it suddenly becomes a mirth-filled highly rewarding challenge.
don't know what that's about.
