Meet the Mana Bar Team - YAHTZEE

[catshawforpresident]

hello, I'm Yahtzee and I SHAKE MY HEAD BACK AND FORTH

[babbies321]

Yahtzee and gabriel. They're like TB and OMFGcata, but more awesome.

[tolkienreadsmymind]

@babbies321 That was exactly what I was thinking *OMFGTB INTERNETS HIGH FIVEZ*

[babbies321]

@tolkienreadsmymind *HIGH FIEVZ BACK* YAIZ!

[oAzREZNoR]

I'm sorry, Yahtzee, but I'm afraid I'd be more likely to visit for Phoebe

[drplbiftin]

I like his sarcastic, cynical and hyperbolic animated reviews of video games but I can imagine he's a proper prick in real life.

[GreenEyedSerb]

My God, that is one attractive man.

[meshpet]

@GreenEyedSerb yup. will be doing the female version of fapping off to this video later on this evening~

[GreenEyedSerb]

@meshpet What would that be called?

[justintvinhd]

hmm he is awesome in zero punctuation. but in real life he seems boring and annoying

[Strekks]

@justintvinhd I know right? Sarcasm is a vile disease, plaguing the scum of this earth...

[justintvinhd]

@Strekks what are you getting at fair stranger?

[Strekks]

@justintvinhd His Boring kinda attitude here and asking you to not talk blah blah is sarcasm xD I have been like this to quite a few people and it's never serious xD Realistically, he's probably the less social of the mana bar but will talk. Unless you're batshit insane xD

[ruscour023]

Australian, yet uses feet instead of metres? what the flying fuck is wrong with this fellow

[aaNJooRKENDOV]

@ruscour023 He's British. He just moved to australia.

[shadowhexogram]

Funny thing about this video is that he's being almost honest. Apparently yahtzee IS antisocial especially around people who are fans of him. But he isn't a bad guy and is more humble yet critical if anything else.

[NinjaaTunaa]

AUSTRALIAN GORDON FREEMAN AWAY!!!!!

[Roarkshop]

I did not expect him to be hot. That was kind of jarring.

[Jprime777]

To be honest, he doesn't seem like the person who'd be interested in owning a bar.

[mickles1975]

LMFAO!

[stupidlambo]

He must be baked off his ass.

[that1guy101691]

Wow. When he's not speaking a million miles a minute he sounds rather.....retarded....

[UnumCinereum]

Wait a minute... telling us to regard him with awe and respect implies that there are those who don't do so already. Who are these bastards, and what is their problem?

[NinjaBint]

no.

[muldmike]

no hat? :O

[NerfedFalcon]

He looks like my cousin Tim...

[MajorBoothroyd007]

Oh Yahtzee, so charming with your words! ;D

[MrDakadaka]

I would love to go to the mana bar and have drink with him while talking about well video games but im always afraid he will verbally rip me to pieces on sight.

[CloudCereal553]

I'm literally going to australia just to have a drink at the mana bar.

[M6cha]

He keeps in character really well...at least I hope that's what he's doing

[xXCaptnPeteXx]

His voice sounds like an Australian Johnny Depp...

[KlacksaftOfSweden]

@xXCaptnPeteXx Except yahtzee is british

[xXCaptnPeteXx]

@KlacksaftOfSweden I'm pretty sure he lives in Australia. Anyways, I said he SOUNDS like an Australian, not that he is.

[KlacksaftOfSweden]

@xXCaptnPeteXx fair enough, I suppose.

[thelovelyratkitten]

Lookit. He's dodging invisible gnats flying at his head. Go, Yahtzee! Dodge those invisible gnats!

[meg5493]

i want to meet this guy :O

[NumidiumsRG]

@meg5493 Fly to Brisbane and go to the mana bar then. It's not exactly hard.

[meg5493]

@NumidiumsRG yea but i dont have that much money :(

[RoadSideCircusM77]

AKA- the most popular one.

[22shaunthesheep]

yes sir!

[ARX78]

He comes from my hometown ha ha

[NinjaRacoonDelta2]

I get the feeling at some point he's going to become a fanboy spasm prostitute. Pay him fifty dollars for 3 minutes of fanboy spazzing and asking questions.

[0SexToast0]

As a slightly cynical and critical character myself who understands the points of sarcasm, I find it hard to believe that people actually think he's an ass simply by watching this 23 second clip. His non-apparent, yet still subtly there, sarcasm towards his words tells us that he is joking in some senses, meaning that if you see him don't act wishy-washy get your head out of my ass appraisal, nor angry letter twatliness that is wrist-cuttingly painful. Treat him as human, blah. blah. blah.

[khaosfaction]

@0SexToast0 that's a very interesting point. i see what you mean. i thought he was being kind of an ass but you've convinced me otherwise.

[drvictorianox]

WHY ARE YOU TALKING SO SLOWLY?

[TheOrigamiGamer16]

Does he still work there ? :o

I want to regard him with awe and respect

[1bigfatpaulie]

Yahtzee you charismatic stallion

[thebestpiever]

Yahtzee you, ordinary person!

[AnAngryMosher]

Id take a bullet for him but he'd only critique my dive and landing, aswell as where the bullet hit...

[Ravengaurd6]

The asshole is strong in this one....He's cool and all,but one moment of vulnerability and BAM!

[BASArtemis92]

He's talking too slow. It's disorienting. :/

[ForsakenDread]

If I ever see you, I'm going to tackle you in one of my patent-pending rib snapping hugs. But I'm not gay.

[narrat0r12]

He kinda looks like Nostalgia Critic xD

[TakeBackTheWorld]

...Y'know... I never really thought of this, but if ever a Half-Life movie arises, this guy would cast a great Gordon Freeman.

[lobstertrainfilms]

@TakeBackTheWorld But then he wouldn't have any lines, and Yahtzee says the most hilarious things.

[rodsk8dude]

@TakeBackTheWorld

It would be weird having him NOT talking all the time non-stop.

[petersims411]

@TakeBackTheWorld hes too good at talking

[crapmasterfang]

I bet he gets lots of pussy with those lines

[Crazelord91]

This is exactly why i find yahtzee hilarious, bc half the time ur nOt sure if hes joking or hes just an asshole... A hilarious asshole

[Crazelord91]

@Falodetudo Hi troll

[Falodetudo]

video game critic and novelist? you´re sure suck in both.

[Caboose039]

Ben Croshaw, the man who made "Yahtzee" a household name after it was already a common household game.

[cazz3000]

haha, i cant believe people dont realise hes deliberately acting facetious and frivolous in this video...for anyone who enjoys his videos to be offended or even remotely bothered by this is just hilariously ironic

[icecreamcancer]

who cares if he's an ass irl? i seriously doubt that you'll ever have to be at a dinner party with him (and even if you did have that chance Id shut the fuck up and enjoy it either way xD!)

[icecreamcancer]

what a legend

[Lightning4119]

Apparently, he's a decent enough guy in person, so long as you don't piss him off...which happens to be pretty easy. One of his friends (one of the other guys from The Escapist) said that he saves up all his anger for the ZP videos.

[dtgenshiken7]

does this mean i can stand 6 feet back and yell PLEASE TAKE NOTICE OF ME through a megaphone? i would do that. because i would probably never meet you again.

[SUPERSHADOWDESTRUCTI]

Reminds me of Shaun, of the Assassin Creed Series.

[FellFather]

@SUPERSHADOWDESTRUCTI Its no wonder, since he admits to really liking that character. Check out his review for Ass Creed Brotherhood, if you're interested.

[1harrti]

oh shit he can talk at normal speed

[Squiglypig]

That man is a Herculean exemplar!

[meg5493]

What if I run up and give u a hug?

[MarsMorand]

I keep hugging the screen. Why does it do nothing. WHY!?

[DiagonalChimp]

Yahtzee, you charismatic stallion!

[Arachi123]

Yes dark lord Yahtzee...

I apologize dark lord Yahtzee, I could not come for I live in America

[shariahshia]

i like yahtzee's review but i ge tthe feeling he's quite an ass in real life

[Svxji]

@shariahshia well i belive it he doesent like fanboys which is understandable

[shariahshia]

@Svxji yeah i can understnad that, and i get that i just feel taht really he's an ass, i htink he's funny and all but the way he talks and his personality, granted i'm basing it on the reviews , he just seems like an ass but of course i havn't met him so i wouldn't no

[ElT0mat0]

@shariahshia He's behaving like that because people recognize him on the street and in the bar and just can't let him mind his own buissenes. He knows that he has fans and he likes his fans, but i understand him, when he just wants to enjoy a drink or a stroll in the parc, not getting pestered by annoying people who want to talk about ZP, EP, Mogworld, Manabar or his beard. After all, he's really popular. But even popular people want normality from time to time.

[bleachta334]

@shariahshia its called being cynical

[shariahshia]

@bleachta334 that dosn't really make him any less of an ass lol

[bleachta334]

@shariahshia no it means hes not an ass hes cynical. there i a huge difference they are not the same thing

[shariahshia]

@bleachta334 being cynical dosn't mean he's not an ass, i'm not sure cynical means what you think it means

[Muggizz]

@shariahshia Why does he seem like a bad person? You shouldn't jump to conclusions like that.

[Frozenkoldfury]

@shariahshia I think he's being sarcastic... Think.

[dragonforks93]

@shariahshia A bit like Frankie Boyle then, like the jokes but wouldn't want to meet him.

[NumidiumsRG]

@shariahshia Listen to his podcasts with gabriel on fullyramblomatic, he isn't as bad as he seems.

[LinkinRocker2008]

@shariahshia I've met him before. While he is sarcastic some of the time he's actually a nice and humble guy.

[ssJotaku]

@shariahshia He wouldn't be successful if he wasn't a complete bulldozering erection of a man.

[luckydan2412]

@shariahshia I'm guessing that it is just an act, a highly amusing act at that.

[SporeTres]

@luckydan2412

It is more likely that he is just pissed that he has to do just a stupid "interview" :D

[CaitiVoltaire]

@shariahshia He's just taking the piss out of himself for comedic value. Some people find that kind of thing funny, other people just find it arrogant, -shrug- But its quite common in british folk.

[HatersGonnaHate1000]

@shariahshia Thats part of his charm, quit fuckin it up!

[Stifleroneeight]

@shariahshia Were you ever in doubt? - That beeing said, he does it with real style!

[RockinTheBassGuitar]

@Stifleroneeight if by that you mean that it's fun to watch online but you never want to deal with it in real life; then I agree.

[afroebob]

@shariahshia dude he is probably the biggest ass you could ever meet... but hes so good at it you cant help but love him!

[jhosseiny]

@shariahshia or, he's taking the piss which seems more likely

[Cat0Pirate]

@shariahshia Its called a 'Joke'....Look it up on google

[erttheking]

@shariahshia

Took you this long to figure that out huh?

[kiraina25]

@shariahshia Not... really. It's a personality, like the Nostalgia Critic. You don't think Doug Walker wanders around in real life mouthing off to everyone he sees, do you?

... I don't think we're going to have any trouble with the last part of that though, Mr. Crosshaw. :3

[McLawls]

@shariahshia Nah, he's just a narcissic with an astounding ability to keep a straight face.

[ZackWake216]

I am going to tap his left shoulder for miss taking his as a Gordan Freeman fan, then going oh shit.

[manhackmatt]

he looks kinda like gordon freeman

[sirbob809]

why dosent he have a hat on? why dosent he have a strange black goblin by him and why are the colours not yellow and black im confused?

[RadicalMassacre]

i know this wonderful man gets enough of this (no homo) but YAHTZEE YOU ARE MY IDOL

[1xadavid]

I would dive in a pool of live hairy spiders to get within 5 feet of Yahtzee.

[V8Jagnut]

lol i love his vids.

[Ssilevos1917]

Wow... He has managed to shatter my dreams in an online video...... again..... and again.... and again....

[Insaneagram]

hah, I didn't know he was one of the founders of that place.

[Ax4lto]

@zoikles1 If you actually knew anything about the zero punctuation series you would have made a reference to Sir Gobblecoque.

[Jingai2009]

Oh Yahtzee, such a loveable ponce.

[LoZWWisawesome]

I must remember this face. I HAVE to marry this man.

[sergiogarza]

I'd stalk yahtzee

[Apatheon]

YAHTZEE. Y U SO OLD?!

I want your tiny Austritish snarky critizing babies.

[Spo8]

@negatrono Have you guys seen how cool this guy is?  Clearly he's cool as hell. He just told us how cool he is because he can do kicks and punches.

[darkfafi]

is that a taser in your hand? o.O

[iforgotmyoldaccount]

His soothing voice matches matches his surprisingly attractive face

>.>

<.<

...I'm not gay

[jeffreypigeon]

I want to get closer than 5-6 feet to this guy. A lot closer.

[cordia96]

Will he sign Mogworld if I say please or will he ram it up my bellybutton?

[Mrowrawr]

I'd worship the ground Yahtzee stands on.

[DroidsRule]

I would absolutely go to this bar all of the time if I lived in Melbourne. Or, hell, if I lived in Australia. D:

[Gamera35]

So this is the face behind Zero Punctuation. I have just met God.

[SimponsMaster]

Even if he tells me not to go anywhere near him i'd still fantasize about him.

[naeviaus]

Will do.

[mixtapebang]

Why does his dick-ish-ness appeal to me so?!?!

[meltheofcgamergirl]

So if an attractive girl traveled half way around the world to buy you a drink, you'd turn her down? That's a shame.

[MrZoider]

I would just ask him to autograph my iPad case. Next to gaben, Romero and muddasheep

[carlm49]

I saw this guy at the Melbourne Mana Bar opening. He greased me off like 4-5 times, as I kept my distance and worshipped him from afar.

[mackeymkay]

He didn't mention anything about 6 foot, or even 20 foot poles. Of course, one would have to prod him (or whatever else you were thinking of doing, you dirty, dirty pervert) with awe and respect, but that's a trade off I'm willing to make.

[minnieskater]

AWW 

[Griffolion0]

Yahtzee's like a funnier version of charlie brooker.

[RDVoDkA]

YAHTZEE ISNT FUNNY OR COOL

[thatguycalledzoo]

@RDVoDkA what how could you say that (i apologise if your being sarcastic)

[brionyofkonoha]

Yahtzee! Oh my lord, you will be touched inappropriately..

[megaed99]

*Really regulated prostitution in some areas.

*This Bar.

*Nicer weather.

These are the things that beckon me to Australia!

[Toerme]

@megaed99 Me too, but the 15 feet big spiders and shit keeps me in scandinavia ;P

[thatguycalledzoo]

all hail king yahtzee

[kais2345]

Is he actually that unlikable in person?

I can't imagine him being a great MC :P

[ToweIl]

@kais2345

you shut your whore mouth



[MarkusLMC29]

@ToweIl A good whore never shuts her mouth :)

[TwistedStarPro]

Thank god the Mana Bar survived the flood.

[Frozenkoldfury]

Bows to Yahtzee ''Awe and respect!''

[thatnickid100]

Ahaha get angry

[Demonwolf900]

:D

[JJ151894]

...

[Anchupom]

Please let me closer to you Ben :(

[Drogmir]

Never realized that Yahtzee looks like Australian Gordan Freeman

[Anchupom]

@Drogmir

He's not. He's British, he just lives in Australia ;D

[DeliteHayk]

@Drogmir maybe that's why he likes the series so much

[apex2000]

@Drogmir You mean Anglo-Australian Gordon Freeman the dude's English, Like me, M'old china.

[JohnnyKvatch]

@Drogmir if you put a critic hat on him, he looks like the nolstalgia critic

[Felixnm1]

@Drogmir he is English, he just lives in Australia

[alternativebassist]

@Drogmir *he's British

[BigJaseNZ]

9 People did not show suitable levels of awe and/or respect!

[safermurasame]

shaky cam

[wergersnee]

I'm a professional video game crtic.

[7CellarDoors]

0:19

"I'm better than you, and you know it"

[Taidgh17]

best...advertisement ....for a business...ever (if only car insurance ads were the same:P)

[meh54]

I personally find it a tad strange to hear him talking at a normal pace....

[eldospinks]

@meh54 Sotorepeatyourorderyouwantedtw­obeerstwowhitewinesandacoke. Correct?

[TheEddpire]

he sure does hate... everyone and everything

[Cloud6556]

Id actually like to believe that Yahtzee isnt a dick and it is just an act but hmmm...your bar looks amazing though, there needs to be more video game bars.

[Elfworks12greg]

sigh, me and my partner in crime thought of a video game bar a few years back. However, we are 20, poor and not famous so it would never have happened. Glad to see somewhere, it is happening.

Now, EXPAND!!

[ertxz18]

I bet all the hot chicks come up to Yahtzee anyways

[foggie]

Yah. Most awed and respected virgin in goon history.

[theweakwillwalk]

@foggie He owns a bar, for Christ's sake...

[TheDanielWooi]

Epic death stare at the end.

[PowerArmorV113]

I'd take a bullet for yahtzee.

But he'd still criticize my diving technique in the 1 minute I had left.

[deidara19973]

@PowerArmorV113 That was the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.
