Have you ever heard Yahtzee refer to his audience with: "Sorry sorry sorry, I'm away this week, can you please forgive me?" No, that would be nice. Part of why we watch his reviews is that he is one of the few people that draw otherworldly enjoyment from being dicks. Basically because he knows that calling us all idiots (which he did a few weeks ago) will only increase his traffic and his cynical personality is the reason why his reviews are popular.goldenheart323 said:
I'm pretty sure that the people that perceived the "fuck you" as rude or hateful either just discovered ZP or have self-esteem issues. It happens roughly every week. We're all repeatedly called tools, morons, drooling retards, and in most cases he just uses it because Insulting, Swearing, and the Words "Dick" and "Pants" Are Funny. At least today he had a reason ("No, I haven't done my chores because I've been sleeping in a car for the last week. Fuck you, stop acting like my mom").
I completely understand all the bitching (in fact, I hereby announce that I, too, am disappointed, largely because the lack of my weekly ZP fix makes me unreasonable), but I'm extremely glad that even a negative response garnered such overwhelming traffic.
I can't see a quick post of "In DC, ZP will continue next week" hoarding 460 comments. And Yahtzee could have made a 3-hour video of him drooling on the back seat, since it doesn't really matter - we'll all still be right here next week. Don't deny it. -.-
EDIT: Ah yes, the video. I haven't seen such a fine specimen of filler vulgaris since the whole of Buffy Season 7. Great job on being consistent. Live Yahtzee making random observations and inappropriate sick-people jokes is better than "come back next week."
I suppose a lot of people are thinking: "What do you mean, Yahtzee is a biological entity with an actual normal speaking voice? Witchcraft!"
Yeah, he should be more considerate; he just disappointed a lot of people by not being an untouchable deity of dick jokes that lives in the internet and reviews at the speed of thought. You know, they looked up to you...
Uh, yeah, too. I was only waiting for someone to say it so that I don't feel stupid alone.SICK0_ZER0 said:
Could have been, what do I know? I barely keep up with world news. Apparently, slavery has been outlawed and nobody bothered to inform me.
I was thinking the same thing...SICK0_ZER0 said:
Also, there's like twice as much posts on this thread as Yahtzee usually gets. I think I failed to realize how dashingly handsome he is.
Awesome video; you were relatively close to where I live.
That shot of the Washington Monument made me think of Achmed the Dead Terrorist: "It looks more like a tribute to Bill Clinton."

Yes, compare yet another thing to that puppet comedian who struggles to make up new content.enchantermon said:
OT: It was like a home movie, but entertaining.
Not bad. I personally did not finish the video cuz I wasn't laughing my ass off like I usually am...,it's just something I've come to expect.

(ps. i wasn't realy but i was thinking about it teehee jk)

Yes. British humour in the heart of "capitol" america. Love it. Washington Monument = giant cock an balls. Love it. Not disappointed at all to see him delve into american superiority complex No. 1. "The white house has lots of columns"
And besides that? It has fuck all......
Good times, keep it up, next week review L.A. I can imagine you'd have a lot to say on the holywood-americana side of life.
From a scottish ****, fucked out his brains after returning from the pub on a thursday night
Yahtzee for president, prime minister and general ruler of thew world mach 1.

6:59 of wasted non-entertaining drivel. Looking forward to a proper review next week.
Now we take you back to your regular scheduled forum abuse

No, I haven't. On the other hand, I've never seen an occasion that would warrant him saying that. Also, I said he could've been more polite about it. I didn't say he should be a sniveling suck-up to his audience. There is a big difference between those. What other occasion has he called his entire audience "tools, morons, drooling retards"? I remember him saying things like "If you think_____ then you're a moron" or "If you like _____ then you're a drooling retard". I don't remember any blanket insults directed to his entire audience. If he did, he said it too quickly for me to catch it. I enjoy his reviews because he rips games to shreds and hates on morons, not because he's a general douche.Seneschal said:
Lastly, if he were to say something absurd, like "If you wanted a new episode this week followed by a shoe polish and foot massage, then fuck you. Quit acting like my father!" it would be a joke. But no. He said, quite plainly, "We just got back from the game expo, so if you were expecting a ZP this week, then fuck you." We had a reasonable expectation, and he told us to fuck off for it. If he intended that as a joke, he failed miserably. He sounded quite serious. Don't mistake a poorly executed joke for self-esteem issues in the audience.
Because sometimes, people forget the definition of arguing.DayDark said:
And yet his dozens of reviews previous and what began ZP on fullyramblomatic begs otherwise.DayDark said:
I don't feel like watching this
Maybe tomorrow, at an earlier time... maybe it's just 'cos I'm tired, but this seems like a pointless idea to me.

Then maybe you should go talk to those people instead of me, I'm not discussing the definition of arguing, nor have I forgotten it. First you think my issue was that I don't know why some people have negative opinions, instead of exactly knowing the reason, and finding some of them based on stupid stuff, as well as people signing up, not because something was good, not because something was funny, interesting, learning, but to contribute with nothing but "this was boring more reviews please", no shit, I got here to see a review as well, but that expectation ended even before I saw the video, because of the description of the video, and "Washington DC" in the title, not only that, but the screenshot didn't show the usual animated figures.PurpleRain said:
Even if it hadn't already given me a clue about the content, then it would have when he explained that this wasn't a review, and WHY it wasn't a review, luckily I don't watch ZP for reviews only, and it is not the first time that it's not a review, if you, or any other somehow still found this surprising, then you need to pay more attention, maybe it because of how fast you are, I'm sure things can get blurry at your speeds, since now you think I've forgotten what arguing is, I don't even know why you brought that up, try slowing down some more.
And yet his deviations suggests different as well. Wauw, This was nice, I'm glad we had this discussion, now we have established that we can expect reviews and occasional deviations, which state what they are before one clicks on the video, if not also in the very first few seconds of the video, all of them funny, though apparently not always for everyone.
Please, please, don't ever do that again, Yahtzsee. It was very bad, even worse than if there was no ZP.
If you want to make a separate series of video with your actual face in it, do so, but do not put ANY of them in the ZP place. The ZP place are for videos that have a higher level of funny than improvised jokes.

Wow... i can't believe how much arguing there was about this weeks 'review'. Sure we would have liked the normal review more, but it's in the PAST. He's not going to remove this video, nor do another review this week so why bother? You're hardly going to change some other persons opinion over the internet in this forum. I think Yahtzee would have gotten the point on the first page so i mean... calm down please?
Oh there i go, trying to change other peoples' mind over the internet.......... carry on....
