If I could find a jar of Branston pickle in my town, I'd spread it across my copy of NMH as soon as I got it.
Brill review, definately getting it when I have the money and I can find it.

fantastic as usual.
ive had this game since it came out, and i enjoyed it quite a bit.
certainly worth buying, if for no other reason, then to support a Wii game with a rating above F-For Fluffy.

I'd vote for your site, except that it looks like I'd need to sign up for yet another fucking web site account that I'll probably never use again. Just what I need... another pathetic "Web 2.0" circle jerk site spamming my Inbox with announcements and "special offers" even though I made sure to click the "don't fucking e-mail me, you stupid piece of shit" checkbox.
Somehow, I think that Yahtzee will understand.

LOL i have to admit man i love Killer 7 too loads of my friends said i was a dumbass for playing it but i loved how different it was and at the same time fun, same with no more heroes repetitive but nonetheless fun
Nice review.I am very happy to know there is a lot of people who likes Killer 7 and No More Heroes looks as good as Killer 7.
He was using it to describe an awkward moment. If u were talking to someone wearing an "I love hitler" t-shirt, it feel a bit awkward.Sagecat said:What was with the "I <3 Hitler" bit? I didn't get the joke and found it to be a bit offensive.
Killer 7 was awesome, and if I owned a Wii there is no way I would have ever seen this review because I would have still been far to busy playing No More Heroes for the 100th time, because that's the kind of fanboy I am. Hopeless.
BTW, great review this week, very funny for a positive (mostly) one.
Now I can go back to my meaningless life again until next Wednesday.

absolutely genius episode this week.
I had the game a while now and have been waiting for his review, knowing it would be this great. He hit a lot of the points I made on my own, plus taught me the greatness of branston pickle.
10/10
EDIT - Earthbound was the greatest RPG for the entire Nintendo catalog, and I'm talking better than anything Enix, Square, or Level 5 has done. But they are my favs there (square-enix being the line).

@ myopicseal. Thank you so much for the transcript. I was about to ask some ... rather emberassing quesitons, because I really, really had some difficulties of getting some of the words. Ah, this is so hard to understand but worth every trouble. *sits down with the dictionary*
at least, at the end of the struggle its FUN. (and not just at the end)

I haven't gotten far into this game because, quite frankly, it is so god-damned ugly. Normally I am a strong advocate of graphics coming last and being the least important thing about a game, but something about this game made it just... hard to look at. At first I thought maybe there was something wrong with my Wii, but other games ran fine. I looked at the disc... perfect condition. This is just an ugly, ugly, ugly game, and I can't understand why. Something about it makes it difficult for me to tolerate. If it looked good during the tedious parts, or if it didn't have those tedious parts which also look like the hind end of a diarrhetic yak with a tie-dye coat, I have a feeling I would be a lot farther into it by now.
Bitchin', as always. Actually made me want to buy the game, which is weird as it's not the sort of game I'd usually spend my rare supply of cash on.
I love Wednesdays.

Okay! Who slipped Yahtzee acid and a copy of Killer7?!!!
That was the most disappointing review ever. Did he only try this game for an hour or so? That's the only excuse for this review. I liked NMH at first too but about an hour into it I realized I'd been ripped off and they were trying to pass some half finished, repetitive disaster of programming as a complete game. This was one game that I was really expecting Yahtzee to give a well deserved roasting. I do appreciate the fact that he can enjoy a good game every once in a while, but NMH is the most overrated, underdeveloped, half-ashed, piece of crap I've played in a long time and is damn far from even being a half decent budget title. There were sooo many things to make fun of and he didn't even touch on them:
The big empty boring overworld (NOTHING like GTA) that you're forced to drive back and forth in (that really IS all you can do in the sandbox besides look for a few unrewarding collectibles) for half the game.
The fact that (some of) the boss levels only seem interesting because in between them you have to grind around the sandbox which is even less compelling than my cat's. I can't believe he didn't tear apart the level where you have to run down a long plain gray corridor only to NOT fight a boss; and yes I get the joke but the big joke is on us. Suda 51 must be laughing his ash off. And I don't put a spoiler warning there because I can't possibly spoil it more than they did.
The vapid minigames which I can't believe he liked: I always thought he hated quick time events and tedium.
The motorcycle which is only mildly of interesting because it looks like something out of Akira and the other vehicles (the few pedestrians too) in the sandbox looks worse than something copied out of an N64 game and don't do ANYTHING.
Really the humor is the only appealing thing about NMH but all of that is based on making fun of anyone who can fool themselves into liking it. Funny for me but how is it not humiliating for the fans? Suda 51 is basically calling anyone who likes his game a d-bag. Why doesn't he just spit in the eye of anyone who buys it; now THAT would be punk.
If I didn't already play through this nightmare of poor programming, I probably would've picked this game up on Yahtzee's suggestion and would have been even more disappointed than I was when I only had the expectations drawn from Killer 7 and the minor publicity and that was bad enough.
I never thought I could be so disappointed in a Zero Punctuation review. It's so disappointing I can't help but think that Suda 51 went to Yahtzee's flat and gave him a big briefcase full of cash, or maybe just a lugy in the eye.

Not only awkward talking to someone who has an I <3 Hitler shirt is awkward, but I believe he has a star of David on the other person. So what could be more awkward than someone talking to a Jew wearing a Hitler shirt?Sagecat said:What was with the "I <3 Hitler" bit? I didn't get the joke and found it to be a bit offensive.
...I'll agree with you, though. I feel like there were probably other, more tactful "awkward" situations you could take advantage of there. It was gratuitous Hitler.
On a different note:
When you finish a ZP video, are the random suggested videos at the bottom just random ones, or are they like "most viewed today," or what? I can't seem to find the pattern in which videos appear and when they change.
Another good review. It is interesting to see The Escapist has kicked you into the advertising business too..
