  • Razer210, on 07/16/2008, -85/+4Ah, too late.
    • coolcole93, on 07/16/2008, -0/+15People say that every single week about Yahtzee. Why? Why do you all want to be Dugg down SOOOO much?
    • carleethian, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Why do people care who submits Yahtzee first anyways?
      • DarkShroud, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Instant front page story with lots of diggs.
  • thaskizz, on 07/16/2008, -83/+1curses, you beat me to it.
  • thechosen, on 07/16/2008, -3/+264I swear to god, I sat there for three hours not pressing X hoping she would die.

    Stupid bitch.
    • RudolphtheRed, on 07/16/2008, -58/+6Sounds more like you're the stupid bitch, wasting your life....
      • JoshReflek, on 07/16/2008, -4/+29responding to comments is better, mm?

        oh delicious irony...om nom nom
      • RudolphtheRed, on 07/16/2008, -25/+3it' didn't take me three hours to respond to a comment, it took me total probably 1 minute to respond to both of you dumbasses.
      • wizpig64, on 07/16/2008, -1/+17i really doubt he actually took 3 hours to wait for her to fall. maybe a minute or two. it's called exaggeration.
      • christophe971, on 07/16/2008, -0/+6protip: you can do something else while waiting for her to die
      • RudolphtheRed, on 07/17/2008, -11/+0with no disrespect to either of you, i look to the original comment in which "thechosen" swears to god that he simply sat there for three hours waiting for her to die. thus, he is the stupid bitch.
      • PathDaemon, on 07/17/2008, -1/+9I swear to god you're being a whiny troll bastard, RudolphtheRed, and the diggosphere would be quite a bit more pleasant if someone were to not press X when you were on the floor trying to not die.
      • RudolphtheRed, on 07/17/2008, -4/+1indeed, tough guy. i now include you in the "stupid bitch" category.
    • balle1, on 07/17/2008, -4/+1balle?
  • ImYourRealDad, on 07/16/2008, -26/+5I no longer refer to this day as hump-day..
  • rocktopotomus, on 07/16/2008, -10/+172dugg if only for '*****-up peninsula'
  • Trifold, on 07/16/2008, -2/+26Great point about that girl...you're not really alone at all are you. Two requirements: alone, and dark and they completely whiffed on one. Awful.

    Also that bit at the end was excellent, and will likely be screencapped and wallpapered by every Ctrl-Alt-Del fan.
    • Puffles, on 07/17/2008, -0/+4They whiffed on both: you're with a girl, and everything is on fire.
  • jakash, on 07/16/2008, -31/+7I know its a bit of a cliche, but Ben Croshaw (Yahtzee) is my hero.

    Oh yeh and sorry to be so anal, but its "Yahtzee" not "Yatzhee" (its even in the spell checker dictionary), but I suppose you have to rush this submission.
    • ProfessorFoo, on 07/16/2008, -3/+4A video game reviewer is your hero? I really want to make fun of you but I just feel sorry for you.
  • Renton, on 07/16/2008, -27/+32You think he's gay?
    • Ridesabike, on 07/16/2008, -21/+3Kinda.
    • BestJaxx, on 07/16/2008, -2/+40I would be a little surprised if that stuff at the end wasn't just a joke.
      • TVarmy, on 07/16/2008, -0/+14It's subtitles for his review of Indiana Jones 4.
    • musicforus, on 07/16/2008, -1/+24The stuff at the end makes sense if you watched last week's episode.

      And aren't homophobic.
    • NateTheGreat7, on 07/16/2008, -2/+1yea im pretty sure thats a joke
    • TrevorBradley, on 07/17/2008, -1/+8I think he's fabulous!
  • t2t2, on 07/16/2008, -3/+298Before anyone starts complaining about the new intro music, please read this lengthy post from Yahtzee's website (http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/) last week:
    ---------
    The review of Lego Indiana Jones this week also brings with it a new, original theme tune and intro sequence. And so, as reliably as the tides, there has been a lot of hostility towards it. Most of it I'm putting down to the human instinct to be opposed to sudden changes in routine and status quo. I'd like to point out that if the reviews had had original music and an intro like that from the very beginning no-one would have cared. I'd also like to point out that I kind of thought everyone was here for the video game criticism, which is unchanged.

    Firstly, no, this wasn't because of pressure from the Escapist. It was my idea to spruce up the videos and make them look a bit more professional, because otherwise it reflects poorly on me. Extreme paranoia concerning copyright infringement may also have played a part and I wanted to err on the side of caution.

    The new intro might be a bit PEPSI MAX for you but frankly I like it. It gets me pumped. And for the music I asked for something awesome with squealy guitars because I'm extremely white and therefore into classic rock. Give it a few weeks, I'm sure it'll grow on everyone.
    • itsmoirob, on 07/16/2008, -6/+36I've got to admit that the intro was much better to handle then last week. It's probably a grower.
      Still not as good as his original idea.
    • MasterBeowulf, on 07/16/2008, -2/+85its a decent intro. i agree with the idea of making the review more professional. but i'll always be a fan of the intro and outro songs having something to do with the game in some odd way.

      i do think the new intro is kinda generic sounding. but its not gonna stop me from watching
    • kyle212, on 07/16/2008, -5/+237For some reason I read that entire comment very fast in Yahtzee's voice.
      • Atlasthetitan, on 07/17/2008, -0/+8its sort of addictive isn't?

        try reading a dry technical document with his voice..... it makes it at least 23% less boring.
      • MarkTaiwan, on 07/17/2008, -0/+5that happens to me every time I finished watching his review.
    • dsmx, on 07/16/2008, -0/+13I still like listening to some music that has some vague relation to the review.
    • 1337Einstein, on 07/16/2008, -2/+52Super Mario Galaxy:Fly Me to the Moon
      Bioshock:Octopus's Garden
      Turok:Jurasic Park Theme
      Everything from now on:Generic Rock
      I'll still love his videos, blah blah blah, etc., I know he gives several explanations (wherein the one that he actually cared about has been carefully hidden) each with its own merits and counterpoints, but I'll just go after the one that got on my nerves. "make them look a bit more professional, because otherwise it reflects poorly on me" Lack of professionalism has been what makes zp fantastic, it allows him to be as critical as he likes to games others would be afraid to attack, it's practically the foundation for the style of his videos, and most importantly permits a degree of individuality amongst this sea of professional journalistic clones. I've disagreed with yahtzee a few times before, but this explanation, even if focusing on something more or less trivial, is the first time I've disagreed with him on a completely fundamental level.
    • kufu91, on 07/16/2008, -3/+10Making his videos look more professional is kind of a lame excuse for the crappy into music. If he's going for the professional look then why does he have a segment about putting balls in his mouth with no connection to the rest of the video. Having music that related to his review gets the person watching wondering about how it relates to the review and makes the entire review unified. The new intro just puts more time between me and humor.
    • renegadeafk, on 07/16/2008, -16/+23Jesus who gives a ***** about the intro music get a life.
    • Rookie25, on 07/16/2008, -9/+0i'm no copyright law fanatic but i was under the impression that. if the people who owned the copyrights for some of the music he was using complained and he didn't comply by removing the music, only then woudl he be doing something that was illegal since he clearly states that the music is used under 'fair use'

      also, if he was so paranoid about that issue he would have replaced all previous videos with new ones featuring the bland and generic new intro. since those old reviews are still up there, there probably haven't been any complaints regarding the whole copyright thing.

      i agree with the comments above about the professionalism rationale being flawed given how 'unprofessional' the rest of the review generally is, which frankly, i love. the next thing will be toning down the swearing.... :(
      • bdfariello, on 07/16/2008, -0/+8Let's face it. Copyright law's seriously ***** up.

        Anyone remember a couple months ago when a youtube video of some mom showing off her two-year-old dancing was taken down because it had like 9 seconds of some RIAA song in it? That was absolute *****.
    • kawaiirobo, on 07/16/2008, -2/+3I think if the intro was more to his description, i.e. awesome with squealy guitars, more in the vein of classic rock, it wouldn't be so bad, but the music is just god awful. It's so 'frat guy'. I picture two guys with guitars one skinny with frizzy long hair and a bald fat guy with a 10" goatee, both head banging with a determined grimace like they're trying to squeeze out a brown steamer.
    • ShogunWarPig, on 07/17/2008, -0/+3***** the RIAA?
      • ThankTheCheese, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2yes, ***** them up the arse. He used maybe 10 seconds of songs in the old intros, that should fall under fair use.
    • Sawta, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2That's a reasonable explanation, but I still hate change. I HATES IT!
  • itsmoirob, on 07/16/2008, -12/+4Ah thats so much more better then last weeks LEGO review.
  • H1tchh1k3r, on 07/16/2008, -8/+82I wonder if these balls can fit in my mouth?
  • axisdelasal, on 07/16/2008, -17/+33Terry and Gonad LOL
  • BoonTobias, on 07/16/2008, -56/+1what's with the fake russian accent? Alone it the dark owns, u sux!
  • Ryan367, on 07/16/2008, -17/+3could not upload it for some reason

    Anyway, it is quite funny.
  • atgmac, on 07/16/2008, -24/+3Intro still sounds crap.
  • Elliottx, on 07/16/2008, -26/+1Reserved for witty comment about video once I've watched it..
    • iPood, on 07/16/2008, -0/+9That's not witty either...
    • cusoman, on 07/16/2008, -2/+6Reserved for comment about how I dugg you down because you're an imbecile.
  • xerograde, on 07/16/2008, -15/+2Scene after the credits is made of win.
  • llama5492, on 07/16/2008, -15/+3Dugg for '*****-Up Peninsula'.
  • SmellyFingers, on 07/16/2008, -26/+4Oh hai! Guise chek out my blog- escapistmagazine.com
    l0ts of fun and excytment!
  • kkxxyy, on 07/16/2008, -4/+68Dugg for stupid chapter skipping feature.
  • EggAndMuffin, on 07/16/2008, -13/+1Zero Punctuation?

    *dugg
  • HolyMan28, on 07/16/2008, -8/+31One of the better ones. He was definitely in a "this isn't funny.." streak. He dug himself out of the hole with this one to me.
  • Tyrghast, on 07/16/2008, -4/+34He's charismatic awesome is only enhanced by his ability to poke fun at himself, a la the subtitled video-from-last-week at the end.
    • exomni, on 07/16/2008, -10/+7Only it wasn't remotely funny, and neither was the non-subtitled version.
    • AlMightyBob90, on 07/16/2008, -1/+5He is charismatic awesome?
      • Goblin, on 07/16/2008, -0/+6Yes, yes he is. Pure, distilled, triple filtered awesome that is simply brimming over with charisma.
      • Jarasmen, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1He is awesome on the nipple level, which is relatively high.
  • Premier, on 07/16/2008, -2/+70"comes in a box"
    • analogkid01, on 07/16/2008, -6/+4What about your mom?
      • DarkShroud, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1That would be "comes in a cake"
      • An800lbGorilla, on 07/17/2008, -0/+0Or maybe, "Comes with a box"

        As for me, I "Come in a box."
  • kkxxyy, on 07/16/2008, -12/+1"I wonder if I can have balls in my mouth."
    "Ooh!"
    "What huge balls!"
    "How am I gonna fit these balls in my mouth?"
    "How about an alternative?"
    "Well ***** YOU, then."
  • Enigmocracy, on 07/16/2008, -8/+82I'm pretty sure there is not a single person on Digg that doesn't like Zero Punctuation.
    • mdavis, on 07/16/2008, -75/+9I don't. I was actually checking these comments to see if there was anyone else like me.

      Looks like I'm the only one!
      • DaHuuuuuudge, on 07/16/2008, -3/+49Come on people. If we bury him he doesn't exist.
      • AzureRise, on 07/16/2008, -3/+37Bury the heathen! Hide his existence!
      • Acglaphotis, on 07/16/2008, -2/+17That's what he said. Double negatives suck :p.
      • EmperorClyde, on 07/16/2008, -2/+0That's not a double negative. Each negative refers to a different subject. Or something like that.
    • colonelpanic, on 07/16/2008, -10/+27So there is a single person on digg that does like zero punctuation?

      silly double negatives.
      • Enigmocracy, on 07/16/2008, -1/+10No... There are zero (Not a single) people that do not like ZP on Digg.
      • Risingashes, on 07/17/2008, -1/+1You're both wrong. The statement implies two separate cases- either there are zero people on dig that do not like ZP or there is an amount of people greater than one on Digg that do not like ZP.
      • TheShom, on 07/17/2008, -1/+1Oh c'mon WTF?
        In other words: (clears throat)
        I'm pretty sure everyone likes Zero Punctuation.
        There, i fixed it for you.
    • exomni, on 07/16/2008, -20/+4I don't. I think the concept is old and not funny anymore, and the execution becomes continuously more and more subpar. The holocaust jokes are also blatantly tasteless, without managing to be funny.
    • dsmx, on 07/16/2008, -8/+13Yeah there are people who don't like ZP they're called nintendo fanboys for his review of Brawl.
      • Enigmocracy, on 07/16/2008, -2/+11I love Brawl and I still liked his review of it. I didn't agree with it, but it was still funny.
      • BJLStorm, on 07/17/2008, -1/+1So you like it when people bash things you enjoy?
        Are you an idiot?
    • BlueSkyfish, on 07/16/2008, -1/+19There are a lot of people. There are also people who don't like XKCD *gasp*
      • N00F, on 07/16/2008, -2/+14I so don't like XKCD. Yahtzee's reviews are something I do like though.
      • Enigmocracy, on 07/16/2008, -3/+11When you go to xkcd's comments, you see a bunch of "SIGH XKCD MADE FRONT PAGE AGAIN WHO WRITES THIS GARBAGE I HATE XKCD". However, you very, very rarely see that kind of thing for ZP.
      • TrevorBradley, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1XKCD's latest is for the people who don't like xkcd...

        http://xkcd.com/450/
    • ProfessorFoo, on 07/16/2008, -11/+2I don't. Talking fast and saying a bunch of random ***** was old and unoriginal in the 90's, let alone today.
      • Goblin, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3Micro machines come in collections of five.
    • pgale, on 07/17/2008, -0/+0Yeah, and they all probably have the page bookmarked and check it every Wednesday... yet it still gets dugg every week
  • antiorblkflag9, on 07/16/2008, -0/+44I had the exact same "No" moment after playing the remake of Final Fantasy III on the DS. After completing two dungeons, each without save points in them or in between, I arrived at the final boss which quickly and painfully obliterated my party. After I realized I was going to have to spend another hour and a half going through the exact same dungeon again, I turned off my ds and put the game on the shelf never to be played again.
    • dante2010xxx, on 07/16/2008, -12/+1So you paid for a game that you refuse to finish.

      Sounds like you are the one that lost out in that scenario. The game doesn't care... nor do the devs!

      Ahahahahahahah more money for them you stupid twit.
      • Spire3660, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3The money was already paid, at that point it became a time/enjoyment benefit ratio. Its called cutting your losses.
      • alexforcefive, on 07/16/2008, -0/+7The devs do care because (in case you didn't notice) there are a billion-squillion final fantasy games, and antiorblkflag9 will likely not buy any of them. Plus y'know, some people actually give a ***** about the things they create
      • soupdawg30, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3Put that ***** on eBay or Amazon.
  • Willow01, on 07/16/2008, -4/+238http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3710/wretwertzt ...

    That is all.
    • soupdawg30, on 07/16/2008, -3/+1I too found that scene to be hilarious.
    • ProfessorFoo, on 07/16/2008, -6/+1HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
  • DanPlainview, on 07/16/2008, -1/+7I really wanted to like Alone in the Dark.
    But in the end it was just not a good game. Sigh.
  • EggAndMuffin, on 07/16/2008, -5/+20just what the f*** is that crap at the end of the video ?!

    I wish Yatzhee would review on that trailer...
    • ophello, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12you dont "review on" something, you review it.

      "I wish Yatzhee would review that trailer..."
    • Auran98, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2Also, he's mentioned before in various interviews that the Escapist tag them onto the end of his videos and he doesn't really get a say in it.
  • traveler19, on 07/16/2008, -6/+187Pretty soon Zero Punctuation will reach 30minutes. Although only 3 of those minutes will actually be enjoyable and the rest will be commercials.
    • nbcaffeine, on 07/16/2008, -0/+121At least the good content is up front and you can stop watching when it is over,
      • MuffinPatrol, on 07/16/2008, -0/+26for now...
      • xkorbin, on 07/16/2008, -2/+12the moment those ads are preroll with no way to skip them is the moment I quit watching ZP unless someone kindly youtubes a version without ads.
      • nickvdk, on 07/16/2008, -3/+3You guys shouldn't whine so much. They are providing a quality service for free that costs a lot of money to produce. Think about server costs and paying all the designers. Nothing is free in this world
      • HouseCentipede, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1My nuts are free to any ladies who care to partake.
    • Stavrosian, on 07/16/2008, -6/+30I sat and watched the whole lot out of respect for them not forcing you to watch it in order to get to the review. They have to pay for the servers (and the reviewer) somehow, I have no problem with them doing it like this
      • thesonofdarwin, on 07/16/2008, -0/+21Some petty, sad individuals digging you down.

        I also watched it, not because I felt obligated, but because I thought the trailer was cool. Until I found out what it was a trailer for. Then I felt mad and betrayed.
      • joeydoo, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2It's admiral that you watch the commercials, but it makes no difference.

        Even if I did watch the ad, liked whatever they are flogging; I still wouldn't pay anything to anyone etc. So why even bother being "nice"? It's essentially taking up more of their bandwidth.
      • BJLStorm, on 07/17/2008, -1/+1Good for you... now did you buy anything afterwards? Go watch the webseries they advertised? If not, you just wasted your time. Good job.
      • Stavrosian, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1At least I gave myself the opportunity to be impressed. I'm sure the implications of this are lost on you given that you just made such a cretinous comment though.
      • rocktopotomus, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1hmm, good point but is it important that you actively watch it, or would letting it play and then going an having a bowl of cereal be equally acceptable. from their side they they don't know the difference. but is it the act of intentionally exposing yourself to advertisements that pays them back for bringing us zero punctuation for free?
    • MrFisty, on 07/16/2008, -1/+9So what are the chances he'll ever review Eve Online? Slim or none?
  • socketman, on 07/16/2008, -1/+13Dang that sucks to hear. The game had some serious potential
  • Dexists, on 07/16/2008, -9/+2WAGWAN MY YUTE? Wed Zero Punctuation ftw
  • dOOBiEx213, on 07/16/2008, -20/+4Buried as lame.
  • destron, on 07/16/2008, -3/+19Are the jars a pee a nod to the TF2 sniper video?
    • nuclearpenguins, on 07/16/2008, -0/+18I'm pretty sure people have been peeing in containers for years.
  • Zyphron, on 07/16/2008, -9/+4From "NO." on, the review was amazing.
  • leerayIG88, on 07/16/2008, -12/+10"Are you Afraid of the Dark?"

    muahahaha...
  • TheWorm, on 07/16/2008, -16/+3I'm getting a little bored with Yahtzee. Its getting so predictable.
  • HamSandwich, on 07/16/2008, -0/+126Does anybody bother to look at anything else on escapistmagazine? (I know I don't) I get the feeling that Yahtzee is the only thing keep the site afloat... hence all the ridiculous ads and promos tacked onto the end of his videos nowadays.
    • MillionsLivio, on 07/16/2008, -0/+33They all look horrible, some of them I question how anyone would not feel ashamed to be promoting. I personally would never go to the site if it were not for Yahtzee.
    • N00F, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4I tried looking at some of the other things. I wasn't too impressed.
    • alexforcefive, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4I've read a couple of the editorials. They are uniformly awful.
    • Chris1280, on 07/16/2008, -1/+5actually watching Derez something, was quite funny. And then unforgotten realms is classic if you have played DnD. FEEL THE WRATH OF CANADIAN LUMBER FOOL !
    • Jhiaxuz, on 07/16/2008, -0/+9It got me signed back up to Eve so it worked in favor of them. Somehow.
    • Rookie25, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1can't say i've ever wasted my time with anything else on the escapist site....

      and like the rest of you (probably) i've just bookmarked the main zp page which gets visited once a week for about 10 seconds while i grab the link to download the zp... they barely have time to throw ads in my face which is probably why they're in the videos....

      should probably start cutting those out of my collection...anyone know a good flv video editor?
      • somestranger26, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Just use something to transcode it to mpeg4, *.264, or XviD and edit it then. I'm pretty sure VLC can transcode .flv if you have it installed.
    • quaunaut, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2They have really great articles every once in awhile. On average though, the lack of reviews hurts them more than anything else. But a lot in the game development side of the industry read 'em.
    • xyllar, on 07/17/2008, -0/+0They did recently add a webcomic that looks like it might be good (It's written by the same guy who did "DM of the Rings", which I enjoyed.) There are only three so far though, so it's hard to tell yet.

      Other than that, no not really.
  • FatBird19, on 07/16/2008, -2/+16Generally I'm very productive at work. But today is Yahtzee day. Time for a break.
    • smpx, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4Apparently Yahtzee day not only requires the 4 or so minutes of watching Yahtzee (who watches the new ads Escapist tags on it anyway?), but also that you need to log into Digg, find the article submission and comment in it.
    • BJLStorm, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Generally, I don't fire workers. But today is Yahtzee day. Here's your pink slip.
  • byte1918, on 07/16/2008, -3/+40I miss the old intro.. I always felt the music was giving some hints of what's about to follow , or sometimes he's opinions about the game.
    • ryansimbalist, on 07/16/2008, -11/+3Let me fix that for you...
      "I miss the old intro.. I always felt the music was giving some hints of what's about to follow , or sometimes his opinions about the game."

      You should have used the word 'his' instead of 'he's. 'He's' is an abbreviated form of 'he is' which would make your sentence grammatically incorrect.
      • byte1918, on 07/16/2008, -1/+7I guess you're right , I'm sorry for my mistake.
      • Technohamster, on 07/17/2008, -0/+5Grammer fascism! Run for you're lives!
      • requiem3, on 07/17/2008, -2/+2-_-
        You're doing it wrong ryan. You don't point out their mistake and then fix it for them.
        You're supposed to yell and insult them, that's all.
    • gravityPersists, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2he has good taste in music too, the kinks, etc.
    • pablo82, on 07/17/2008, -0/+4In no way is it acceptable to put he's instead of his. In no way at all. None.
  • FatBird19, on 07/16/2008, -1/+40The "terrible execution" gag had me. HAHA!
  • Huangism, on 07/16/2008, -24/+6enough of this guy's review. BOOORRING
    • ryansimbalist, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3What's your contribution to society?
  • Farwando, on 07/16/2008, -12/+3Alone in the dark is a stupid name for a game
    reminds me of Snakes on a Plane
    • Jhiaxuz, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3Regardless of how bad the title may be or that they were never really any good, AitD is somewhat the precurser to modern survival-horror and it has its spot in history.
    • ezcheezbandit, on 07/16/2008, -1/+1have you been under a rock for 10 years?
      • Stupidumb, on 07/22/2008, -1/+1I've seen you before, buried.
      • ezcheezbandit, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1possibly the shortest reply you have ever made.
  • odessadark, on 07/16/2008, -17/+3Meh... this guy is old news. His "review" has become shtick where he just ***** talks games because that's what people want to hear him do.
    • MillionsLivio, on 07/16/2008, -1/+8Actually, there has been tons times where he does the exact opposite of what people "want him to do". He's praised games that people have hated and hated games people have praised. That is what makes him stand apart from the rest, he gives honest reviews of what HE thinks, that and his humor.
      • dante2010xxx, on 07/16/2008, -3/+0Ya he's really great... such a rebel to say he likes a game that other people don't.

        Except he never says he likes a game. Every "review" is full of what is wrong with the game.
      • slurba, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1Uh... no.
        He's stated that he enjoys Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Bioshock, Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty 4, Portal, God of War (sort of), Psychonauts, and a few others I can't remember. He bags on games because he can look past nice looking graphics and hype to see that Crysis really is a pile of ***** generic FPS and Brawl is just Melee all over again.
  • exomni, on 07/16/2008, -31/+4The music sucks, the concept is overdone, and the holocaust jokes are tasteless and should have been apologized for.

    I'm done with Zero Punctuation. He was funny the first few times, now he's just derivative.
    • MasterGrief, on 07/16/2008, -3/+8Nobody cares
    • MillionsLivio, on 07/16/2008, -2/+14Apologize for jokes? ***** off, so sick of stuck-ups like you.
    • bobartig, on 07/16/2008, -7/+2Although his justification is also all cocked up. The holocaust occurred in the early 40s. If you were under 20 when it occurred, then you could feasibly still be alive today, around 88 years of age. Life expectancy is something we're getting good at.

      He should have just said "sod off" or the yatzee equivalent, instead of saying "hey, you're already dead anyways", because you may not be, and that's kind of a weak cop out anyways.
    • tdogg241, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4Derivative of whom? Himself?
    • ChileanGoD, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2byebyeee.. nice knowing ya.
    • vinceislegend, on 07/16/2008, -2/+3Lol @ the Holocaust.
  • Farwando, on 07/16/2008, -18/+6after a while hearing this guy rant for 5 minutes gets kinda old

  • boobsbr, on 07/16/2008, -10/+4creepy guy with a hat, I wish I hadn't seen that...
  • RespectableGuy, on 07/16/2008, -11/+0This game is great, people need to give it a chance, and ign can burn in hell.
  • AZTriGuy, on 07/16/2008, -0/+8Pretty brave game developer to put an ad on there.
