Zero Punctuation game reviews

[Grant]

As a writer, I subscribe to the theory that it's important to call out your influences as regularly as they inspire you.

If you haven't had a chance to check out Zero Punctuation before, please take a moment to check it out. Yahtzee's game reviews are nothing short of masterful works of art, and the accompanying Flash animations are equally hilarious. I should one day be that good a writer.

I'll start you guys out with his take on Guitar Hero III. Feel free to click around on The Escapist's webpage for his other reviews.

EDIT: These reviews contain fairly regular foul language, so be sure you're an adult if you're listening to them loudly... or, at very least, that there are no adults around to yell at you if you're not.

That was brilliant. Thanks for the link.

Wait! What! is he? I thought he was funny, unless he is gay. Then he's a wanker!

1) Yahtzee isn't really gay. That was part of the joke. He's poking fun at his hobby.
2) Even if he was gay, it wouldn't make his reviews any less awesome.
3) Viewing "you're gay" as the ultimate manhood-crushing insult is the #1 reason why playing FPSs online gets old quickly.
4) I am not gay, either. I just value originality in my insults over the same-old "you're gay" nonsense.

Good? Good.

His reviews are always funny.

Yahtzee is awesome. His Ass. Creed review was hilarious.

Hello. Welcome to PGL. Do you realize how f'n gay you sound?

Probably as uneducated as YOU sound, though I'm always careful not to read inflection or intent into text.

I realize it's not your fault. They raise you gamers differently in Milwaukistan.

Brew actually just learned how to type, let's not set him back now, he's really getting this "human interaction" thing down. It's all about baby-steps, and I think he's progressing nicely. Even in game lobbies he seems to be forming full sentences now, no longer a cacophony of hooting and hollering. It's nice really.



On the gay thing, there are a lot of people here who are not open minded, for having an open mind would allow an opposing opinion inside, and that scares them to death. It's best not to argue though, because it's like talking to a dull, unpainted wall.

Zero Punctuation is pretty funny though, not my favorite by any means but funny, funny stuff.

I think everybody should remember to do this. I'll check out the links when I get home... sounds interesting!
