My two cents: I carry my iPod with me virtually all the time (in case anyone particularly cares, it's a first-gen 1GB Nano), I like to listen to ZP while doing other things*, and I'd very much appreciate having the opportunity to combine the two.
Same here, cept mines a four gig. But its still 1st gen, and in pretty good shape. I even dropped it from two storys once, it's fine. I bought some of these rubber cases, it makes it twice the size but it'll absorb anything.
Heh, awesome. That kind of indestructibility is actually why I chose to buy mine (although being an Apple fangirl couldn't have hurt), although it hasn't been necessary because I obsessively protect it from everything up to and including scratches.

I now officially hate Yahtzee, I just HAD to see what de-rez was, just had to. Those are minutes of my life I will never get back again.

O.k., for people who still complain about Yahtzees attitude towards Halo - the fact of the matter is, its simply not satisfactory, at least not from a marketing P.O.V.. Look at it this way. Satisfaction is the level of actual value, minus the amount of expected value. If Halo 3 was hyped up to a practically mythical status, and turned out to be a so-so shooter, then obviously its not going to be satisfactory. If they had done a little less hype, I doubt he would have sliced and diced so deep.
Please don't say "the fact of the matter" when what you really mean is "the opinion of the matter." We get it... you, along with half the internet, think Halo is mediocre. That doesn't change the FACT that it's sold a few more copies than Wank and Sticky and the FACT that your opinion is not a fact. I'm not trying to pick a fight, it's just my biggest pet peeve.

]I didn't use the phrase in that way. I was saying that it is a fact that when something doesn't live up to the hype, it is unsatisfactory.
Ah! Misplaced modifiers will kill you every time, my friend.

The sequel to 5 day's a stranger the first of the Trilby games.

AND there is an actual plot (although I was too impatient and had to use a walkthrough D:)
But Yahtzee writes some creepy stuff sometimes O_O

Enjoy

7DAS is my favorite of the Chzo Mythos. Most atmospheric, most scary, only one with a real element of danger.

Notes the interface is difficult.
6DAS the puzzles are way easy.
5DAS is pretty good.


Poll for the next game review:
Something Obscure, or something Famous?
Or-- A late April Fool's day joke from the Escapist?

Man I didn't even know Wank and Sticky (teehee) even existed! No wonder that bloody Wii is only gathering dust (waiting for Super Smash Bros, mind).

Anyhell, each time I think Yahtzee might be running out of steam, he pimp-slaps me and puts me in my place. Well done, sir!

I know I'm chronically late to say this, but did anyone else think that a certain online encyclopedia had found a way to turn itself into a game?

I liked the game, but I don't agree with Yahtzee with the whole idea to kill the franchise.
Also, OMG! Did someone really make a drawing of a nude Peach?! WTF?!

Hmm... all of a sudden, this video isn't loading for me. The other ZP reviews are loading fine, but this one won't load. Problem on my end?

God bless Yahtzee for being the first person to say that not all adventure games are as good as people say they are. Yeah, there were the good ones (like the awesome Lucasarts games and the first King's Quest game), but the vast majority sucked because you didn't realize that you could throw the paper towels at the locked to awake the doberman, who assaults the policeman, who in turn fires a gun at the lock to open the door. And try and tell me all adventure games were good after some prick introduced the "Find your way in the desert by moving in the EXACT sequence of screens before you die or get lost," sequences.

Anyone who gives as much love to Grim Fandango as Yahtzee does, can't be all evil.

Despite the fact I am solely a PC gamer, I am amused by all the Zero Punctuations.

Keep up the Bile, Yahtzee!
