Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw on Australian television

[MrCrazyCanuk]

Me - "I can't put my finger on it, but that doesn't seem to sound exactly like him...oh, it's because he's actually pausing and taking breaths."

[destyrian]

Hey Yahtzee, if you are reading this, if Valve contact you again can you tell them to fix Steam? Thanks dude!

[LoveNoteProjects]

"a reviewer is someone that wants to sell you a game and a critic is someone who wishes to discuss the game to people who have already played it" bullshit nahtzee. and if that were the case, you are not a critic by your own definition. You aren't a reviewer that recommends or demerits games. You're just an articulate ranter that tells people what to buy.

[TheRudyRoughnight]

@LoveNoteProjects technically his definition if correct. He does critique his games in a rant worthy manner, but it is still a critique. He says what may be good about a game, and what's wrong with it. That's the basis of a critic right there.

[LoveNoteProjects]

@TheRudyRoughnight the term reviewer and a critic are synonomous. yahtzee is just being a pretentious hypocrite and trying to make himself out to be the superior reviewer. and no technically his definition is WRONG. critics sell their oppinion to you, reviewers sell their oppinion to you. what he is talking about is a scholar and theorist which he is not, because his reviews arent for ppl that already played the game, its ppl who havent and rely on his say whether its good/not

[NakedLeafProductions]

@LoveNoteProjects

[DelphanGruss]

"We've had Real famous people here-" Me: "Whadya mean REAL famous people?! *Cracks knuckles*"

[DarkChely]

just imagine this: TB and Yahtzee in the same room debating on a subject which they have diffrent points of view...

[shinkicker404]

@DarkChely I believe that day is called the Rapture.

[LoveNoteProjects]

@shinkicker404 the rapture came and went ages ago... nothing hapened

[HIIMCAPSLOCK]

Yahtzee seemed... nicer... than I expected...

[blickluke]

@HIIMCAPSLOCK every one is a fuckwit when behind the smokescreen that is the internet :P

[phazon55]

@blickluke

His hobby is write all the BAD things about a game, he said it himself, it's not about having a "smokescreen."

[darkhellskull]

I was so suprised that this made yahtzee seen like a nice guy.

[TeaUnicorn]

@darkhellskull Oi.

It's not that he's mean, he's just a critic.

And we all love being abused by Yahtzee. He hurts us because he loves us!

[LoveNoteProjects]

@TeaUnicorn and you pay him thousands of dollar JUST to appear in events.

[TeaUnicorn]

@LoveNoteProjects Hey man.

If you loved him, you wouldn't care how much he makes. He's entertaining you for free. Jesus.

[lordoftrolling]

This is the only video with 0 dislikes in a loooong time.

[333hab]

"And it really amazed me, because we've had real famous people here..."

Excuse me, are you implying that Yahtzee has fake fame?

[Osaka13]

I have never heard him talk that slowly.

[MrTheKatalyst]

It's kind of amazing to me that people can get such popularity by talking about games really fast in a poorly animated video. Not hating on Yahtzee, just the people who for some reason consider him such a huge cultural force.

[4LackOfaBetterNam3]

@MrTheKatalyst they arent poorly animated at all, have you ever seen an episode?

[TehYumehChan]

@MrTheKatalyst There is a difference between poorly animated and having a certain degree of style. Just because his animation isn't dusted in cocaine and glitter doesn't make it any less good.

[UnicorniousEyes]

@ignorantswede

By "download" he means "view". In a sense though when we watch a video on the internet we do download it, most appear in a cookies-esque folder somewhere.

[Valagetti]

ahh, 240p, we meet again!

[ignorantswede]

Who the fucks downloads Yahtzee's videos?

[Tehweirdkat]

When Yahtzee says a game is good it must be FUCKING AMAZING...

[Milaniscious]

what? you can download ZP episodes.... gimme...

[naeviaus]

4 mio people?

I mean, I love Yahtzee but the views his YouTube vids get are around 6k each.

And I don't think more people will watch them on TheEscapistmagazine.

[nessacheng]

@naeviaus actually they do, if you try to watch it on the escapist its super laggy, and I dont think its cos the server is crap. youtube is for casual watchers who watch cute kitty videos inbetween, the true gamers watch it on the escapist.

[SpectralColours]

@naeviaus Are we sure it's specifically viewed and not also downloaded though? Given the presenter's comment at the end, I was getting the impression the figures were also counting people whom download the episode to view at their own leisure on their devices of choice. Given how many people use whatever their apple device of choice is to do that these days I can see that adding a rather substantial amount of the figure.

[Habegger23]

I love Yahtzee

[Bleeperblopper497]

can someone tell me what that part from 0:00 to 0:04 is from? please let me know

[noobsin3d]

Dude holy shit, I knew of this guy because of 5 Days a Stranger, but never knew he was the one behind zero punctuation, I'll have to check it out now

[reecenolan]

i would love to see a joint video with yahtzee and charlie brooker

[SaawkRaawk]

@reecenolan wouldn't it be great if there was a series of gameswipe with yahtzee as a contributor.

[reecenolan]

@SaawkRaawk That would be fantastic, hopefully in the near future

[korruption]

If there is a Portal 3, I hope they have Yahtzee as a personality sphere. Especially if they bring back Wheatley! =D

[TheNamelessCharacter]

@korruption What would Yahtzee's personality core consist of? Criticizing your portal technique? Saying how much you suck at this game?

[korruption]

@TheNamelessCharacter Hey either a supporting character or villain or both, I'm not picky.

[Volf99]

Yahtzee is awesome

[NateCorran]

So, i was view 9,999. Thats cool.

On topic: I would love to be able to find people who are local and follow ZP. Sadly, as he said, fans are very spread out.

[jamreaper]

they are all very old, which is comforting because they are all gonna die first

[bandman232]

Yahtzee reminds me of Gordon Freeman the way he looks. :D

[bluehawk2121]

@bandman232 ur right!!

[HaloRoxMySox47]

Now I've upgraded to a living room... Pretty bad ass.

[wipeout2098]

4 million! :D

[danceswithasteroids]

Wait, more views than the rugby?! WOOHOO! IN YOUR COLLECTIVE FACES, VIOLENT SPORTSMEN! XD Yahtzee FTW

[Taidgh17]

the bit around 4mins sums up the world over the past year or so (at least europe and ireland anyway)

[TheGaffa99]

@Taidgh17

Too true man, too true. 

[Taidgh17]

yahtzee ftmfw

[Echioderm]

it's amazing how he has this charcter of being cynical and unfriendly, but here he seems very ntelligent, polite and down to earth.

It's what all the best can do.

[EddysAnimations]

AND HOW MUCH PORN DID YOU NEED BEFORE START ON THIS GAME?

[slayermate07]

WTF IS GORDON FREEMAN DOING HERE???

LOL

ZERO PUNCTUATION FOR THE WIN!!!

[MudkipTheSavior]

Ha ha ha...he's got the Trilby hat.

[flakelorenz02]

[MADMANx511]

[TraNWhiZ]

[demosj]

Pimping jacket.

[SlockNCFC191]

Good video dude :) deserves more than 2,000 views!

[grimer30]

at the end he said "download his videos".

Was this a mistake or how do I do that?

[HouseLyrander]

@grimer30 I think he meant download on to the browser.

[Wuzziwu]

So... what show is this?

[ZangetsuBullet]

Yahtzee!

'Heeey, I wanna play'

STFU UP MOM

[KayVoorhees]

Marry me Yahtzee D;

[southsydney]

the host reminds me of john safran without the charm

[Slurpy8Musings]

@southsydney So does your mum, but seriously i agree. He's a terrible host.

[getOFFmyMILK]

yahtzee's the man
