Zero Punctuation: Yahtzee Goes to GDC

[Magnus Of Weelilplace]

a very entertaining ZP. keep up the good work sir.

in response to all of the negative voices out there, it had to be bleeped because of the audience. you could tell what it was, if a beep ruins the greater comedic value of a joke for you, something is wrong.


again, keep up the good work.

Why the f$%# was this video censored?

+1

Plz dont do that again!

Also... regular video...

1- Don't do what?

2- What the hell is +1

3- Who are you

4- And I wouldn't call this a regular video since it was censored

This may sound condescending, but if you had bother to read the post in the ZP section before the video then you would know that this was being played somewhere else other than the escapist. Thats why theres all the censoring,

 

[Jiki]

I think the bleeping could have been removed fo this version. We can fucking handle it.

Good to see you have such fate in us and aren't afraid to show it.

 

[entropy3ko]

Hahah they censored 'bottocks' at the end but it's not a bad word, like f*** or 'ass', it's a proper name for a bodypart...

Anyway the bleeping was annoying so I am glad Yahtzee did not swear much, otherwise it would have turned into a Jerry Springer episode Not that I need to hear bad words to be amused, but that bleep was quity schreechy and it ruined 'the moment'

It's a really cool video. An unusual ZP, but very entertaining. I'm going to watch it one more time *_* (I stil did not understand well what he says about the Japanese Games dicks at 1:58-1:59)

Wow the red hair comment was really clever... stupid prick.

Yes.. you on the other hand are the peak of human intelligence.

 

[redmac]

I loved this episode, I had to register to tell you yathzee tat it was great! I posted this on my blogg as well so many could see it

Stop being selfish dicks and enjoy the ride.

Completely agreed (with Pie that is). Do you (ix and people similar to him) get off by critisising other peoples work. Come on, credit where credit is due. Yahtzee is awesome. He has a great sense of humour and is going far in life.

 

[Cameoflage]

here is a challange for you, go load up one of his game reviews and close your eyes and just listen to it, its not all that funny, next plug your ears or turn off your speakers and just WATCH the review, again not that funny, combined they are a riot and provoke even the most stone faced people i know (and being a US Marine retired i know alot of them) to actualy laugh right out loud at some of his works.

I do agree that they'd make little sense in purely visual form, but I actually do routinely listen to the audio track only while I do other things. Certainly not on the first viewing, and the visuals definitely add to the experience, but they're solidly entertaining and funny as pure audio.

If someone is insulting then I will be insulting in return entropy3ko. It has nothing to do with you so don't run your mouth.

"Do you (ix and people similar to him) get off by critisising other peoples work."

No, his comment is borderline racism frankly, it's just the last thing people can be extremely insulting about without consequence. If that level of playgruond insult is 'his work' then he's really going down hill.

About 2007 being antisocial nerd? How is that racist. "Hey! You can't say that about 2007! 2007 was an awesome year! Leave it alone!" And if you're talking about the red hair, that's just a sterotype. The Simpons do it all the time. Go fight them about. Geeze. Why am i argueing with you? Well, I'm off to watch ZP now and ACTUALLY enjoy it for the comdey geneis that it is.

I wonder if Yahtzee reads through this flame war tappign his fingers together, working on his evil laugh at the chaos that is 100% garunted to proceed after anything he posts? I know I would.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

Nice 1 yahtzee, worth the wait

 

[SyrusPirate]

Here's a concept that will mess with your mind.

Maybe, just maybe the deliberate shoddy censoring was part of the joke. Maybe Yahtzee knowing it had to be censored had a little fun with it. Maybe the vid was made censored since I doubt Yahtzee would want people dicking around with his vids with silly censoring. Maybe some of you are showing your complete immaturity at the lack of a couple of curse words.

 

[Henkiebob]

Please oh please , don't censor yahtzee , its just.. wrong and the bleeping makes me think iam watching jerry springer again.

 

[Digikid]

Very disappointing. Was not that funny IMHO and the sensoring made it worse.

Looking forward to next week though.

PS3 over the 360? Sorry but....WRONG. Sure it is getting better but it is definately not better than the 360...sorry.

 

[Imperator_2]

Where'd the videos go?

 

[gibboss28]

I liked the Monty Python tribute at the end.
And I didn't realise the covered in bees bit till it was mentioned on the forums. God bless Mr Izzard.

All in all it wasn't that bad. it coulda done without the bleeping. not because hearing swearwords is cool or anything like that mainly because it left nothing to the imagination. if a word is bleeped out properly in some cases you don't know what that word is so you generally fill in the blanks in your head. however in this case the bleeping was just phoned in and if it was put there to stop people being offended by certain words... well here's hoping that they were deaf or hard of hearing because it was very easy to hear the word.

But yeah. it was funny and i agree with the point about duke nukem. and there will be a lot of people who aren't reviewers (such as myself) wanting to get at em too.

I thought where Yahtzee had the PS3 standing on the 360, and the Wii in front was great. It's the PS3's rise to fame - woop. Although, I do own a 360 and play it more than a PS3.

Sure, the censoring was not that great and ruined some of the humour for me, but I'm not too bothered. Maybe for everyone who didn't like the censored parts, next time you could just not release the video because it is censored. However, I'll watch your work whether it is censored or not.

A great review that one could never find anywhere but The Escapist (or GDC in this instance). I did think it was a lot faster than his usual work too, but I guess he might of sped it up for an effect (that I missed).

(Also, a lot of posts have works mis-spelled ... but while typing there is a built in spell-checker, or there is for me. Strange.)

I call fanboy!

How is he a fanboy?

 

[maninahat]

This one's sub-par. There is too much recycling going on, The repetition of The Entertainer started to get on my nerves and made the whole thing seem a little disjointed. I don't think I need to add anything to what everyone has already said about the censorship.
