How, exactly, is it not a review, when he himself has called his videos so several times and he calls himself and has been called reviewer by others? Hell, even the little footnote on his videos always say "This week, Yahtzee reviews (INSERT NAME HERE). Although, I find the fact you expressed it as though this was my first Zero Punctuation quite amusing. More to the point, be it a review or not, it doesn't detract from my main argument. I agree with your point and with the guy that made the other review, blood and boobs do not a game make.Zachary Amaranth said:ZP isn't really a review, no matter what people call it. It's more a humourous op-ed from a Brit in a sweet hat who makes a lot of gay and shit jokes.Tonimata said:Nice review, but is there really a point in reviewin games other people in The Escapist have already reviewed?
I suppose Yahtzee's hatred of repetition had been crushed under the heel of corporative needs.
Sort of unsurprising this game is terrible, though. I saw Giant Bomb's gameplay deal, and I couldn't hep but think "Wow, this will get old in three minutes."
Mr. Croshaw must have a much longer attention span than me.
Actually, if you read The Mask comics you'll see that mentioning slasher flicks and Hellraiser is redundant in this case. The Mask got a crossover with Lobo, and for good reason.canadamus_prime said:So it's some kind of cross between every slasher flick ever made, Hellraiser, and The Mask?
Dude, it gets worse. Instead of intervals of tedium broken up by occasional periods of freedom every day, you get to spend 8 hours (or more) a day at a desk, toiling away on something you don't really like to pay for shit that you never get to use because you're always at fuCKING WORK! All you really have going for you is that irish whiskey.tehweave said:Sigh... "Once you can do all the things you couldn't as a child, you'll no longer want to." WHY THE FUCK IS THIS TRUE GODDAMMIT I HATE MY LIFE.
Seriously. How many of us want to play with legos still? How many of us want to go back to our parents house, find that big box full of toys we used to play with, and go back and play with them again? How many of us want to eat an entire box of goddamn cocoa puffs with chocolate milk? But no... We need to fucking BEHAVE. FUCK IT. FUCK IT ALL.
Ugh... Now if you'll excuse me, I have a final I'm taking in an hour for my sociology class which will be followed later by liberal drinking of irish whiskey.

They are at a minimum, I only said Hell, mind. I can see your point thought, and it's a pretty good one at that. No, most definetly, popular opinion doesn't define something, or at least it shouldn't to people who have the mental capacity to debate with a dragon, but perhaps it would've been better to say that, in my opinion, and by my book of definitions, Zero Punctuation videos are reviews, even though if only in essence. More to the point, even if they aren't strictly reviews, they most definetly serve the same purpose. I suppose the argument that states he calls himself a reviewer should've had more weight, but since it didn't, I'll let it drop.Zachary Amaranth said:Please try and keep your inferences to a minimum.Tonimata said:How, exactly, is it not a review, when he himself has called his videos so several times and he calls himself and has been called reviewer by others?

But reviews as defined solely by people calling them it? Sweet. If I call myself a waffle and can get people to agree, would you argue so strongly that I was in fact not a mammal? Sweet. Do you believe Fox News is "Fair and Balanced?" Because they say so and have people agreeing? That Ke$ha is an awesome musician? That the Earth is flat? Advertisement slogans? Memes?
But I kid. I'm not a waffle. I'm actually a 6,000 year old dragon. Silly mammals.
