i dislike this bad imitation of Zero Punctuation and find it uncomfortable to endure, especially with some american teen voice taking the role of Yahzee...
scepticism and atheism videos are enjoyable because of the subject matter... the arguments themselves are what counts and get people with half a brain watching.. this cheapish immitation of my favorite game critic, just turns me off.. big time
You're entitled to your own opinion, and I'm not scared of criticism. I have to admit that I'd like to do my own thing, and I'm looking for my own personal style, this is just for practice.
Until then, keep in mind that the greatest form of flattery is emulation. If I intended to rip off Yahtzee outright, I'd just mirror his videos and save myself a lot of trouble. A lot of work goes into these, and I respect Yahtzee all the more for it.
i'm sorry for making assumptions about your age based on your voice. But the accent.. well.. i'm a swede.. i wouldn't expect you to tell the difference between scandinavian accents either.
i'm sure many people enjoy this emulation, and you do it well for someone with a northamerican accent and your voice (no insults intended). i just personally think that the brilliance of Yahtzee is as mutch about his cynical tone of voice and english dialect as it is his sarcastic fast pace.
As much as I tried to keep up the rapid fire pace that Yahtzee is known for, I just couldn't pull it off and be clearly understood. As for the accent, I suck at doing accents, and it would only sound even worse.
I like the pace I keep in my vids, and I've been told my calm demeanor and soft voice are what really make me stand out amongst some of the loud and obnoxious atheists.
I'd make a terrible Coughlan666 clone, so I don't try to be anyone but myself.
As much as I love the point he's making in the videos, and as much as I love ZP, the one thing that made me sad was that he didn't talk fast enough. If you're going to parody ZP, that's ONE of the thing you have to do, even if it means just putting the file into audacity and changing the tempo if you can't speak that fast naturally.
But anywho's, still a great point. I'm still unsure about Kassie. Can't quite tell if she's a troll, or genuinely that retarded.
As much as i support what hes doing here, i cant help feel alittle hate that "TheOmniNerd" has completely ripped off the Zero Punctuation videos that Yahtzee comes out with and claiming it as his own, i mean zero education the name and the videos are pretty much exactly the same... copy right infridngements etc etc? again correct me if im wrong and hes mentioned yahtzee D:

What is the Intent of Use? Is the new material used for commercial or non-commercial purposes? In most cases, if no profit is to be made, the use of a copyright owner's original material is considered fair use, especially if there is an intent to educate
If Ben Croshaw himself saw this video, I really doubt he'd be BAAAWing and filing complaints.
I agree totally. Just calm down with the ad hominem's. They don't help, even though they are fun and true. :P

Your vids are fine. I love the little cartoons while you talk. And the contra code was lulz.

That's meant to BE THE POINT! It's a PARODY of Zero Punctuation.

And no, PARODIES do not equal Copy right infringements.
If you don't know why, I suggest looking up the definition of parody.

On youtube, we've been fighting false DMCA's, and yet we're projecting one to something that is covered UNDER the DMCA.
Am I the only one who finds that ironically funny of some to do?
