Zero Punctuation: Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure

[Uszi]

There are SO MANY bitches in the gaming world. Most of you all included.

The reason for a game review is to have the person who is reviewing it let us know if it is a worthy game or not. And while Yahtzee has come up with a fantastically (no sucking of arse intended) comical way of doing this, you all seem to have a problem with him doing it with the top selling games of today.

Classic examples are the Halo 3 & Call of Duty 4 installments of Zero Punctuation.

Now forgive me for thinking, because I've discovered that thinking can get you into trouble in todays world...BUT...Have you bitching excuses of game loving human beings ever thought, 'wow...this guy may be right...maybe the game does deserve praise (or rejection)' instead of saying 'I'm disappointed with this, CoD4 is so generic, Halo 3 was amazing, blah, blah, blah, review something l ike 'The Diamondin the Rough that Nobody Cares About'.

If I was Yahtzee, I would throw in the towel because my fan base is 98% made up of fucken retarded piranhas's, but I guess it pays the gas bill, so why not live off your stupidity.

I say, if you fuckers can't handle being told something that doesn't fit in to your predisposed and uninformed opinions (like, say, that the Wii actually has good games, while the Xbox 360's supposed core game is overrated), go and shove your head up a martians ass, as thats the only way you're not going to come into contact with any information you don't want to hear. Well, that, or implant yourself in the American Bureaucracy.

Sounds like both of you need a nappy-poo to me. I'm pretty sure that someone is allowed to form an opinion based on any amount of information they feel is necessary, and that the internet gives them a tool to articulate it.

What I'm tired of is people who seem to think that they're better than everyone else on the internet because they use nasty words to form their opinions, while speaking with some sort of air of authority. You have none.

First, Love the nickname, the meaning behind 'Indigo' is unreal and 'Dingo' well, thats just true blue aussie now isnt it.

Is there some meaning behind "Indigo" aside from a shade of blue? UrbanDictionary says slang for some types of drugs. "Marijuana_Dingo"? That doesn't really make sense. Or perhaps a reference to "indigo children", thusly named for their auras? Do Dingo's have auras?

i wouldnt rely on urbandictionary to get true definitions but more like joke ones

i really doubt chilli dog is when a guy shits on a chicks tits and fucks it

Why has no one mentioned that he consistently spells, including on the title of the review in the video, the game "Zach and Wiki"? It's ZACK and Wiki, he even includes the damn game case in his review, and spells it wrong all the way through. I can't really take a review seriously when you can't even spell the game you're meant to be reviewing. Poor bit of journalism unfortunately...

Oh, and saying Grim Fandango DIDN'T have stupid logic... I'm sorry, it was a great game, but some of the "puzzles" were totally just shot in the dark. Not a fun, "Oh, I get it now..." shot in the dark, more a "Trying to shoot an airbourne pidgeon in a pitch-black warehouse"-style shot in the dark.

I tend to use it for non-mainstream definitions of a word. Especially colloquial usages that aren't old enough to have made their way into Merriam-Webster. And honestly, for a variety of colloquial expressions, I've found that the definition I'm thinking of is listed there, even though it may also be defined otherwise in other contexts. Just because that's not what a chili dog is to you, in a certain context, that may actually be what chili dog was intended to mean. Because, in the end, words only mean what we intend them to mean, when we express them.

 

[Geoffrey42]

No, it really does mean what the guy above me said, True Blue Aussie.

Thanks, his description of "Indigo" meaning "blue" being "unreal" led me to think maybe he meant something other than what I initially thought it meant. I don't exactly find it "unreal" that "Indigo" means "blue".

Podcasts are fairly useless, IMO.

Und why would that be?
I personally don't find the easiest way to have ZP reviews on your iPod useless, but hey, if you'd care to make some points, I'd be happy to listen.

 

[NoPantsMan]

screw you about the joke of the paper under the door to get a key. I played Scratches and not only did that throw me off, but it pissed me of even more when I realized it wasn't even a puzzle but a damn joke!

 

[cutekittenkyti]

Yeah, the Spanish guide looks like it was spit through a translator:

"Long ago in the mists of time, when main characters didn't need to have biceps bigger then their faces, and when bump mapping was just something cartographers did to their wives."

"Desee hace en las nieblas del tiempo, cuando los caracteres principales no necesitaron tener bíceps más grande entonces sus caras, y cuando el traz del topetón era justo algo los cartógrafos hizo a sus esposas."

I'm thinking it would be more along the lines of,

"Hasta mucho tiempo,cuando los protagonistos no necesitaban los biceps mas grande que sus caras, y..."

I don't think there's an accurate translation for "in the mists of time." That sounds like the sort of English only expression that I would need to find an equivalent Spanish saying. And the Bump mapping bit... is probably english dependent too.

Also I'm lazy. So screw it.


But yeah, a worth effort, seeing as how mine didn't get further than the first sentence.

It was spat through a translator Babel fish at altavista

although I did go through to replace grizzly but surpringly not dildo O_____O

 

[cutekittenkyti]

the translator did dildo for me....

yes... i'm serious.... and buggering....

[cutekittenkyti]

[cutekittenkyti]

T^T
*goes to fix*

 

[Ninjariffic]

I completely agree with his final note. Grand Inquisitor was a great game.
"Hmm. A coin. A slot. If only I had my 'Put Coin Into Slot' spell".

 

[cutekittenkyti]

ACK
zERO PUNCTUATIONS ARE DISAPEARING

"Heavenly Sword and Other stuff"

I always wanted to hear a review of Yahtzee about a point & click game. Next time a JRPG please.
