Fat_Hippo | I've watched a couple of his reviews and they really are damn funny! | |

Jquick | He has some pretty good reviews. I actually find them quite tasteful in their own distasteful way, like Taco Bell. | |

Jemry | Plus he totally digs Tim Schaffer, which earns him atleast 50 points. | |

Jan 13th, 2008 08:07 PM | ||

Emu | He wouldn't be half as entertaining if he didn't trash good or popular games | |

well, no, but they get really pissed off when he trashes a game they love. Like Mass Effect. |

Emu | People are actually calling it "hate speech?" | |

I don't like when people classify him as some hate speech giving angry jerk; he's not. He has a certain standard games have to meet with in order for him to consider them not shitty, and the stuff he picks on in his reviews are the kinds of things I generally hate, too. He's the only professional reviewer I'll listen to these days. |

There's a difference between saying "He's Australian" and "He lives in Australia". He's still an angry Brit. He just has better weather to rant in. Splitting hairs is fun. A-yup. |

I don't think we've ever had a thread about this! Seriously, is a little search that hard to do? |

He's really Australian. And where the hell is Guitar Woman to elaborate more on this? |

Yeah, I've seen plenty of Mr. Yahtzee. Bang up job becoming an e-celebrity, but what's more impressive is how he's maintained his "negative vibes from an angry Brit" schtick without losing fans when he trashes games they like. They just change their opinion from "Yahtzee is always right!" to "It's all just for fun, no one takes this seriously!" as it suits them. What I'm saying is, Yahtzee has done the best job of keeping his e-celebrity status since Piro and Tycho/Gabe. Usually, he's pretty funny. Sometimes not. The mix between nitpicky and good analysis is random with each review. |

Zero Punctuation There's this really funny guy who does reviews on video games, though he hardly ever gives positive ones, except for the ones that really deserve it. Link to his stuffs: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/prof...tzee%20Croshaw |
