Zero Punctuation: Mailbag Showdown

[Devante Blood]

I don't understand why anyone would send you hate mail. you are obviously very opinionmated, and find bad things in ALL games, even the ones you love (which is hard for most people to do). So if they know ahead of time that you already dislike a game from the start, why are they so shocked when you piss all over it? And, like you said, if they like the game anyway, why would they get so angry because you didn't? that's why it's an opinion; it doesn't have to make sense to anyone but you!

 

[Badassassin]

I can't believe people think they will succeed by sending you hatemail. You think they would realize by your reviews that you will just bitchslap them back into the muck of fanboyism.

hahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahah oh god, that was good. Seriously, I don't understand the sheer bloody-minded fanboyism this series attracts. It's one fighting game in a sea of decorated fighting game franchises like the Street Fighter and Capcom vs. Whatever, Tekken, KoF and Mortal bloody Kombat.

As someone who spent his disaffected youth in arcades wasting the daily allowance to plunk tokens into various fighting games, I'm levelheaded enough to know that as much as I enjoyed all those games, they have faults, exploits, glitches and motherfucking SNK bosses to contend with, and wouldn't even go into a nerd rage if someone called those games out. Hell, I can even pick some of them apart myself: Mortal Kombat had cheaty freeze moves and response times that felt sluggish compared to Street Fighter, Tekken's depth consists of not letting the other guy play by keeping him in the air long enough to die, Street Fighter's dominated by Shotoclones and Guile, Capcom vs Whatever requires ridiculous amounts of button mashing to pull off the combos, SNK titles had Super Saiyan-level bosses and crazy fashion sense, etc, etc.

I can see the faces of the nintendo fanboys who saw their self proclaimed witty remarks being ground into the dust by someone smarter and wittier. Sounds like something I would do. Nintidiots, as I refer to them, have no taste in something good. I love how they defend their fat plumber idol against something they have no Idea about. one guy who has never seen Pyramid Head from Silent Hill said "Mario could pwn Pyramid Head." Considering mario has to jump on the heads of his enemies, not happening. He also said mario would survive in Quake, Resident Evil, Left 4 Dead, Halo, Infamous, Uncharted, Gears of War, and many other games where anyone who doesn't laugh in the face of peril gets kicked, zapped, shot, railgunned, bitten, vomited on, stabbed, or chainsawed in the balls so hard they have to rewrite their birth certificate, change their gender to female and their name to Michelle.

FYI Spell-checker, 'favourite' is spelled with a 'u' and there is no 'z' in 'customise'

Nope.

Those are the American spellings. They are perfectly valid but I am a keen British patriot.

@Mailbag Showdown, I just watched it. (Don't know why I'm just now getting around to it.)
Other then telling you that i feel the need to type with perfect grammar and punctuation, (lol, rather then zero punctuation.....im going to hell for that) It feels like i should say whats on my mind. Fuck yeah! Tell 'em Yahtzee! That is all.

 

[Windowmaker4444]

Yahyah is truely a master troll. Enough said.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Not a fan of Zero punctuation, but there are some people in this world who over-react to small things like one bad review on Brawl, who cares, the game is a big success, dont get pissed about what one guy said

 

[Alon Shechter]

We love you too , Yahtzee.

 

[Jayde111]

OK, that was seriously the best ZP you have done yet. I was pissing myself laughing the whole way through. Most notably, I liked the Gamespot reference but I would have to say my favourite bit was the number 4. The 360 joke hit particularly close to home seeing as mine bricked just last week.

FYI Spell-checker, 'favourite' is spelled with a 'u' and there is no 'z' in 'customise'

Wrong it's customize and favorite

[Johnny-Natrium]

Lol but still you overlooked "contols"?

 

[samaugsch]

Lol but still you overlooked "contols"?

I noticed that, too.

 

[samaugsch]

Wait, why is everyone calling this a review? What is he reviewing?

Still lots of fun.

He's reviewing the reviews for the SSBB review. Duh.

 

[samaugsch]

It's as if he does, indeed, use his traffic figures to measure his worth as a human being.

At least he has the balls to admit it, right? :]

i think people who critisize Yahtzee are dumb cus they are critisizing a critic and critic critisizing critics are critisising people that do the same they do which is critisize things and when u want to do have critics angainst a critic PLZ do it on a good way like Yahtzee the good critic does it with a nice vid and not via criticaly stupid messages

P.S. yay i can do a little zero punctuation myself wohooo
P.S.P.S Yahtzee keep up the good work i wuv ur vids
P.S.P.S.P.S i know its not a game but plz do somthing about gmod cus one thing i think is that ull use ur eyes because when u reviewd portal u said it was perfect from start to end and ill put forks in my eye's when i ever say that again well gmod is perfect until u stop playing it (so from start to end so i would say go get 2 new forks) <<<< am i critisizing i critic here i think not and hope not

 

[TimtheBigDaddy]
