The Escapist: Zero Punctuation

[Jarik]

As pointed out in this thread an individual by the name of Yahtzee Croshaw has started doing a quite amusing flash animation series about... whatever he feels like addressing at the time.

His focus this week is Psychonauts, so while I considered adding it to the end of that thread, this is apparently going to be a weekly thing (every Wednesday) on that site so I'll start a new thread for it.

IMO it started out a little slower than his Darkness & Fable reviews but it rapidly picked up towards the end & i'll certainly be keeping an eye on this site to see what he's got lined up for next week & whether he can keep up good work.

His adventure games are pretty smashing too.

STOP TELLING ME WHAT YOU THINK TWING TWANG MEANS

He's right on the money about Molyneux too.

True.

Has anyone ever said otherwise?

[therealjohnpeat]

This man is HIGHLY entertaining - if he can keep-up the quality this will be a must-watch-weekly I think

[Unofficial Who]

Easily some of the best games related video ever. Loved his spiel on Heavenly Sword, especially the bit about Freud.

[Lothar Hex]

Been reading his site for a few years now, he really is an entertaining bloke. He linked to my webcomic once too.

[Rudderless]

Not as good this week, though still ace. He's better when he's ripping something to bits.

This weeks edition: Console Rundown

Where he rips into all 3 consoles equally.

I'm not sure how long I should continue linking to this, as most people who like it will probably have it bookmarked already, plus the fact that as amusingly as it's presented this is still just this ones guy's opinion.

Nah keep posting please. I always forget when something new is out.

This.

I can never see the zero punc vids. I just get the logo and no vid. What am I doing wrong?

[SaintM]

I can't view it in Firefox for some reason. It works in IE7 though.

[Ropelight]

Sometimes I have to refresh it. Dunno what's going on like.

Probably the weakest so far, but with the odd chuckle.

[Polmon]

I quite enjoyed that latest one - it wasn't particularly incisive and there was nothing really new or interesting said on the factual front, but it was very amusing, which is the whole point really.

[daveodeth]

Bioshock

New one is up

[Beitel]

Also, if you were offended by the picture of Mother Theresa eating a baby's head then you should also be aware that your mum was making me say even more offensive things while I was fucking here tonight.

He says as much in this weeks contribution. Fortunately there's always something to rip into in the Game Industry, if not the game then how it's marketed, received, etc so that should keep him happy.

I hope he genuinely believes it when he does attack a game though, I'm sure he's receiving tonnes of hate e-mail from the Bioshock fans right at this moment.

Then again, that could be just what he needs to fuel his vitriol fires.

[Ropelight]

Agree with this Neo-RPG moral choice thing. It is shite.

[Shindig]

Yep. Still, breath of fresh air for 360 owners.

This week: Tomb Raider Anniversary.

Slightly closer to home here as I quite liked this game, but gotta love his "slip-up" at the end.

Is it just me, or is he slowing down a bit though?

I think I lost the ability to breath when he went through the "list"

[Garibaldi]

"Cheeseburger inhaling Yanks" had me in stitches.

Marvellous stuff.

[Meers]

I absolutely love British humour, sarcastic, dry or otherwise.

Someone cracked me up in Vegas the other day, where he came running around a corner, only to be greeted by another team-mate's friendly fire. "Oh, hello!" he said in a dry, cheerful tone. Had me in stitches, that.

[KieronGillen]

I do love these. Though if he thinks STALKER is more advanced than Bioshock, he's drunk. Which I approve of, randomly.

Best journalism in forever.

Mate, Quake is more advanced than Bioshock.

Oh dear...
