Another Wii game reviewed. Maybe Yahtzee subconsciously likes the Wii more than he likes to admit?
The game is targeted at kids who eat Nintendo's shit daily.
Your serious? I didn't find much of the new stuff funny.Blue-State said:
You can't blame the writers for that show,it was because at that point two of the main characters were pursuing their own careers so they couldn't show up (i.e. Topher Grace aka Eric Foreman was playing Venom in Spiderman 3 and Ashton Kutcher was doing what he was doing) they got one guy who replaced Eric Foreman but when he became the lead character on another show he had to die off, they couldn't find a good replacement for the village idiot and never did, but they found a guy who was like Eric but had no flaws making him boring.Blue-State said:
Wow. That really was a notch above the reviews lately.
However, little anecdote that made it particularly funny for me:
I laughed so hard my boss (who was walking by-- I need to close my office door when I watch ZP, even if I DO have headphones) came over to see what I was doing, I showed her the vid. She thought it was hysterical too (although she did comment that Yoshi's return is a positive, no matter what anyone says).
Later, we went to the breakroom together while we were talking about a project; turns out it was someone's birthday, so we go through the door to be confronted by... CAKE! We both stopped in our tracks, looked at each other, and started laughing until we were in tears.
For his part in that surreal experience, I thank Yahtzee.
Oh, and I particularly liked the 'Go to a football match, get drunk, and glass somebody' suggestion.
EDIT: oh yeah, I do disagree, like so many others, about the Simpsons. There were some great episodes through Season 8--- like "You Only Move Twice", a personal fave.
But yeah, the decline definitely at least started about the time Conan left the show.

Eh, I could make an annoying point about how there was continuity, but that's boring, so I'll just accept that he agrees it was quite fun, judging on my plans this weekend.
Wow. A whole load of folk commented on this really quickly.
Is wednesday afternoon the highlight of anyone elses week?

Yeah, I could tell it didn't go anywhere just by looking at the box. Just goes to show Nintendo don't give a damn anymore, I used to know them for actually doing something interesting every time not long ago.
If Mario Galaxy 2 would let me use the Gamecube controller instead of the horrid Wiimote, I might actually consider this game.
Also, Simpsons stop being good after season 5? Pffft, shows you haven't watched up to season 17.

Amazing that you finally squeezed out that it was fun after 3/4 of the review being Nintendo ranting.
You're a critic, sure, but at least talk about the game rather than spraying an anti-nintendo rant all over the wall routinely.
Two weeks in a row.

I want to see reviews that evolve. Instead I'm treated to the same retread of a rant whenever a Nintendo game - or a game for the Wii where Nintendo is inevitable blamed for something a third party developer did - rears its ugly head. No, I'm not a Nintendo fanboy, I haven't owned one of their consoles since the SNES and I'd rather burn my money then buy a Wii with it. But listening to some frustrated British hypocrite ramble about the exact same thing over and over and over again makes me think I'm visiting a relative in some nursing home.
And when you cash in your pay check, think a moment about what you do for a living and what you blame Nintendo for and how those two things might have more in common then you'd like to admit.

I think he had problems becuase he already reviewed this game before. That's why he said go watch the other review. I think it was funnier because of that. But any Wii game he reviews is funny just because its too easy.wkrepelin said:
Nintendo fanboys raged so hard the first people who said "good job" got hit with the banhammer. Just because someone liked how someone made fun of a game/franchise/console/company you like doesn't mean you can get them banned because of it. I don't care if you make fun of MW2, I'm not going to report you because of it. Hell, I'd probably agree with half of what you said and rebut the other half, but I'm not gonna cry. Get over yourselves (hardcore Nintendo) fanboys.
