easily, in my opinion, the best zp video around, shot down every single douche with valid points.

"I'm not a fanboy... Yes, you are"!!!! best zp moment ever?!

I linked this video to a few of the SSBB fanboys in my Sixth Form. Needless to say, it shut them up to find out that not everybody wants to lick Nintendo's sweaty bits.

This must be one of the best episodes of ZP. Yahtzee really shows who's the boss.

However, there's something that's been bothering me so much I had to sign up to ask: What the hell is he saying in the 3rd sentence? "But the Brawl review [broughted in them presidented in yet] not entirely unexpected amount of negative feedback"? It could be that I'm just stupid.

He says: "But the Brawl review brought in an unprecedented [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=unprecedented] yet not entirely unexpected amount of negative feedback"

Thanks. Makes sense. And I learned a new word. :)

I loved this video. I just hope that Yahtzee will soon serve the rest of the fanboy nation as well as he's done here.

Definately one of his better videos, but i like all of them so that's not saying much.

I don't understand why some people seem to form strong emotional attachments to certain computer games, especially when they had nothing to do with making the damn thing. Hopefully one day they will grow up and learn that none of this really matters! If they ever stop jumping up and down in frustration because somebody disagreed with them.

Never really known anyone to use "God works in mysterious ways" as an excuse, personally I've always used it in reaction to someone thinking they know how something will turn out, like an argument against karma.
With that said, everything has things you can call "excuses", e.g. Evolution has the big comet that hit the earth to kill out all the dinosaurs, it seems Scientists don't have any other way to wipe out dinosaurs out of the Evolution process (since of course Humans take after apes rather then Dinosaurs and if anything they needed an excuse for Dinosaurs to have been wiped out somehow otherwise it just wouldn't make sense why they are in the dirt). Same with the Big Bang a bit too, how did the universe get created? Well think of the biggest explosion of energy you can think of, and that's how. Even with that excuse they still don't have an answer to what came before what was there already, a theory based solely on 'cause and effect' can never logically have a beginning.

I don't really get the system wars. I had a PS2, then the 360 dropped to $160 and I got that. Sure I play games like Halo and CoD4, but I also get less mainstream ones like random hack n' slashes or Armored Core. Dunno why people vigorously defend their systems to the death...criticizing somebody's game system is about as taboo as criticizing their religion. Pathetic.

Bloody hell. That was a reasoned critical comeback, not just the bilefest I was expecting. Full marks.
It basically seemed to me to be "you guys are idiots, here's why". which is what happens whenever he talks about fans of anything mainstream, which he kind of is. Not that it isn't just, because 85% of the masses are morons, and 99.9995 of the masses that follow fads on the internet are morons. Thats what makes stuff like user made content so bad. This was hilarious.

Well the dinousaurs being wiped out by a comet can actually be proven, infact I believe I saw a documentory not too long ago where they believe they actualy found the site where the comet hit Earth (even came with its own video of everything getting wiped out, quite epic to watch!). But as for the big bang theory....well it's called a theory so that says it all really! I don't believe our minds will ever be able to fathom how we came into existence so it's futile to even try. Hence why some people opt for the God/religious theory. I'm not going to tell anybody they're wrong though, I gave up caring along time ago :)

Then why did you reply?

Finding the comet? Why isn't it more well known? Like when so many people find Jesus' bones? Many people claim they do, but it is all proven quite wrong since if it wasn't, everyone will bloody well let all us religious folk know.

And on you not fathoming that we will never know how stuff came into existence, I "kinda" agree with you in a way, if I wasn't Calvinistic I'd probably believe that man will never know our own origins). Was going to say something else, but cbf remembering. For the most part just wanted to post a different side of things.

I replied because I do care about religious vs. scientific debating, I just don't care about whether or not somebody believes something different from me. I just like to have open minded discussions with people without telling each other that everything they believe is shit.

To be honest I've never heard of anybody finding Jesus' bones either. How exactly would you tell? Im pretty sure they didn't keep dental records back then, so I don't really see how one persons bones would be any different from another persons of the same era, unless he had some obvious defining feature that I'm unaware of...

I can't remember the guys name now but I think it's the same guy who does Grand Designs, if you know that programme. Apparently it hit in the sea and caused a massive tsunami and rained down fiery brimstone-like stuff everywhere else. Its generally considered fact that the dinosaurs were wiped out like this, whereas evolution is a theory all be it a well thought out one that has yet to be disproved. The bing bang theory is a tad silly though, because what caused that in the first place? Nobody can explain it.

Wow I just realised we are MILES off topic XD lmao!

The big bang theory is often misinterperated. it wasn't an exploision so much as a rapid expansion of matter into our univers from another. Think bubbles being blown from bubbles.

Also on topic. BURN. SSB fans just got there ass' handed to them. oh wait, im a SSB fan..*sob*

In general, fanboys exist because they are drawn into the company's spectacular games. And yes, there will be debates about how fanboys saying that their console is superior.

So in that theory does that mean that there should be other universes besides ours? Or am I just getting confused now? Thanks for correcting me though, nobodies ever actually explained that to me before.

Ah I liked the first super smash bros, didnt like melee as much and haven't played brawl.
