I trust at least some of you know Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, and his cartoon series on certain Video Games or anything of certain relations to them. called "Zero Punctuation"

recently I came to rely quite abit on Yahtzee's reviews to determine what games I should get. any games he makes clear he enjoys I try what I can to get. that's how I made the decision to get games like RE4, or Fallout 3. and I find myself very pop flyin' for doing so everytime.

even without that fact. I always find the ZP reviews to explain stuff about video games better than most other critics I know and even explains the games better than watching gameplay footage.

so Yahtzee is the person I consider alongside Katie and Nintedogeek01(from Fanfiction.net) to be amongst my all-time favorite people on the internet.

His reviews are pretty good, but I can't listen to him too much in one day because my capacity for brutally honest jerkiness isn't that high.

meh, it seems he focused more on being funny than being a reviewer recently.

That's pretty much been always the case. He'll say how much he actually likes the game at the start or the end of the video, while the rest of it is all about how many jokes he can fit in about the whole premise. It means it's a hilarious series, but if you're trusting it for actual sound advice then you're doing something wrong.

I know, I think my favorite of his lines was in his "Thief: the dark project review" where he says "worst case sinerio, you'll have to fight a bunch of sword-wielding thugs shouting made-up swear words, but if you're skilled enough to get through it all, it would still be quite possible to steal all the lord's ermine robes and stick his toothbrush up your bum before you leave"

I like his reviews, but sometimes his reviews can have glaring inaccuracies.

I like his reviews even though I almost never agree with him. I think I only ever was of his opinion on Psychonauts, which he said was great. Oh, and the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time series, especially on its decline.

I also like his Chzo Mythos series of adventure games.

Who else could he possibly be talking about?

Oh, that's right, yourself. If you're going to try to troll, at least be more subtle about it.

Actually, he's very boring. CONTRARY OPINION = TROLLING? Why didn't anybody ever tell me this breaking news? :cry:

Now you're boring.
