Yahtzee Croshaw plays Guitar Hero 3 at E-Games '08 - Cliffs of Dover

[WilkotheRanter]

the ironic thing is that this is the first time ive seen him play a video game

[TheMrKattykat]

@GamerSpawn176 Well, seeing as there is only one song by the band 'Dragonforce' in Guitar Hero 3, I thought it would be pretty self-explanatory. Evidently not. Although watching him play any song by 'Dragonforce' would be amusing.

[BigBadJonatron]

"It's okay - I am good at other things..."

[TheMrKattykat]

Don't care about Cliffs of Dover, let's see him play Dragonforce.

[GamerSpawn176]

@TheMrKattykat you mean through the fire and the flames since dragonforce is a band with many OTHER songs to

[Spidey92Prince]

Oh mann, die E-Games 2008 waren bislang die besten! Freue mich auf Sonntag an der neuen E-Games 2011 ^^

[markleycrew2009]

omfg IM BETTER THAN HIM ON THAT SONG AND IM 11

[PhantomArcade]

@markleycrew2009 And 11 is the number of people out of the entire world that actually care. If that.

To be fair, it's a game. It's better learning it on the real guitar, because that's real and not just a plastic thing with buttons on it...

[markleycrew2009]

@PhantomArcade one thing i dont get is why you were born when your mom was 2 years old

[PhantomArcade]

@markleycrew2009 What?

Wow, is that the best insult you can come up with, when it doesn't even make sense?

You aren't even old enough to have a Youtube account anyway. Fail.

[markleycrew2009]

@PhantomArcade Shut up, you'll never be the man your mother is

[PhantomArcade]

@markleycrew2009 Is that the only thing you have, the 'your mother' jokes? Sad.

You're 11, give it up and play Call of Duty or whatever it is you 11 year olds do these days.

[markleycrew2009]

@PhantomArcade I think you were born on a highway, thats where most accidents happen anyway

[mustachos1993]

He is very good, for someone that also has a real life! :D

[PaladinGear15]

he must have been nervous to fail the first time

[SnowdragonDS]

He can actually sort of do the chorus! I suck at the chorus. Can do everything else though.

[GrimReaper2485]

Dammit, he beat my high score.

[rcflight13]

I was there and I missed it! I lost my watch the day before and by the time I realized what time it was he was gone D;

[Tommy9834]

With the crowd cheering as he's playing Guitar Hero, I can't help but think of the Guitar Hero episode of South Park.

[philljm544]

damn I should've gone 2 that 2 years ago... I went 2 the 1 b4 that yahtzee is tank as

[DragonGuy123456789]

"it's okay, im good at other things"

[DragonGuy123456789]

damn he's good...

[Unpronouncebal]

YAHTZEE ROCKS!!

[SvnLynx]

You sir are a fucikng freak!

[LexxiKitty]

That was awesome xDD Yahtzee ftw<3

[XxDirtyxXxShiznoxX]

@AxeGamers He loves it. If you have been paying attention to his review whenever he gets a chance to boast about how good he is at the game he will.

[solarflaredragon45]

love the hat......

[etocadet]

imagine "wont get fooled again "by the who on guitar hero

[Isaac1729]

@etocadet Pretty sure its on rock band already

[XxDirtyxXxShiznoxX]

@Isaac1729 +nope

[Tunademon]

Holy crap he's not even looking o_O

[TrueNubinator]

@Tunademon yeah he is, theres a screen at his feet

[Mochme]

rofl he's so cool!

[Tfirmin001]

WOOOHHHHH!!!

Go Yahtzee!

[dillllon3]

once you get into the rythym it gets a lot easier to finish

[BIGnEASY350400]

@dillllon3

i think they make it sound so hard because of the solo at the very beginning of the song.

[qwertyman46]

ROCK ON!

[BubonicCraig]

people dont insult yahtzee, he insults us...

[yahoo11223]

does anyone know the name of this song?

[Bunji2k6]

Cliffs of Dover.

[2computer1]

Yahtzee is beast.

[kennu7776]

Long Live Yahtzee!!!

[MildTabascofries]

he must be using his trained pet spider

[Bloodrage6666]

THIS MAN.

[DorkyLordofComputers]

That dude sucks i can play that song 99% NO PROBLEM

[Bloodrage6666]

@DorkyLordofComputers

Freak.

[Endaviour]

yay for you, now go fuck yourself instead of boosting your ego.

[PaulT1992XD]

YOU SUCK, how can you insult yahtzee

[leonel1993]

@DorkyLordofComputers

So sad, sad, pathetic person XD

[marshallzzz]

go yahtzee go!

[southparkdudz]

im faving this because yahtzee is awsome

[RioGiovanni]

The legend himself :)

[KingsRok93]

I like how people can be more famous for playing Guitar Hero than for actually playing the guitar. facepalm

[shadowstroker]

@KingsRok93 hes in not way famous because he can ply guitar hero, its cause of ZP (Zero Punctuation)

[night2night3]

I like that yahtzee plays like most normal gamers....

[shadowman080]

thats because yahtzee is an average gamer (that rates games)

[VampireMatthias]

Yahtzee is so friggin awesome!

^_^

[alarm2202]

You can see the tv he was looking at, at the end of the video :O

[TheReactorSings]

My God. Give me a couple of hours and I could probably learn that piece on a real guitar, but this? It's insane.

[Rorymclean12]

he's got me beat well most people do, why do i never hear about these game events i would love to go to one if yatzee went that would be a massive bounus (spelling) he is my favrate (spelling) video game reviewer maybe best in the world XD

[RethParish]

That is pretty cool to see Yahtzee actually playing a game. He's not that bad either.

[UsernameGenerator123]

Well atleast i can say i can beat Yahtzee at something :) (smug self-satisfaction)

[ArchibaldClumpy]

I think he must exaggerate his hatred of the game if he played this enough to get this good at it.

[FackinArse]

He never said he HATED it, he just doesnt like the 12 year olds that can play expert crazy songs and can't actually play the real instrument when you try to teach them it. Besides he's a gamer he likes most games he's just a game CRITIC meaning he points out the flaws not hate them and never play them.

[wolfwizzy]

Somehow i think you give Yahtzee too much credit. The screen is a projector, and I have a feeling that there was a monitor in front of him that he could look at.

I just dont see Yahtzee playing GH.... THAT much.

lol

[Savaril]

There was no monitor there. Plenty of people can play GH by ear.

[Fronzel41]

He seems to express fondness for the series in his reviews of its games, if not always total happiness with the individual games themselves.

[edwardonaldson]

@wolfwizzy if you listen to the australian gamer podcast (staring matt and yug but somtimes with yahtzee) he does say that guitar hero is one of his favrorite games and if people talk about a son or guitar hero he gets a bad urge to play it

[akatsukimaster666]

no1 wat happened to clyde winston

no2 WHAT THE FUCK CLYDE WINSTON YOU CUNTS

[punkypenguin38]

It's funny, because in his review of the game he starts to dislike it when it reaches around this point. I wonder if he ever did do "Raining Blood" on hard.

[Buggaton]

I did Raining blood on Hard before I was able to do Cliffs of Dover on Expert. Mostly because i've done raining blood on hard and I still can't do cliffs of dover on expert XD

[mariofan1985]

I wish I could meet him in person. =)

[akatsukimaster666]

YEH JUST BRILLO THAT WOULD BE

[bojo0noja]

Lots of ppl do

[ArtisticTerror]

@mariofan1985 you can he owns a bar in brisbane city called the Mana Bar

[ChezJamesy]

@mariofan1985 one of my brothers friends has met him, but didnt know who he was... which shocked and then made me just reply: 'AAAARRRRGHHHH!'

[mariofan1985]

@ChezJamesy

Well then here's your homework for today(or whatever the time is at your place.) Sit him down and have him watch EVERY single episode up-to-date, then have him do a test about the videos. And then ask him, "now do you know who "yatzhee" is?" And if still doesn't know. Hit him a yatzee board game.

[Kitsunehero]

He would have hit them all if he was actually looking at the screen.

[finicalwolf]

epic XD

[Kitsunehero]

Maybe you misunderstand my meaning. I wasn't implying that Yahtzee was doing the dumb thing and looking away, I was stating that he's so amazing he can hit most of them without even looking.

[Airguitar888]

what song? its epic but what is it?

[SoftBank47]

Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson

[aaronobst0140]

Yahtzee is easily without a shadow of a doubt the best critic in any field ever, he brings up things in games that we can all relate to and presents them in such entertaining and humorous ways. He is also a comical genius and apparently an addictive substance seeing as i watch Zero Punctuation Daily...

In short GOD Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw FTW

[JamaiusYan]

That's Benjamin Yahtzee Godzilla Croshaw to you.

[akatsukimaster666]

YAHTZEE RULZ

[IvyPianoMan]

Well done Yahtzee, better than I can do, on PS2 anyways

[EnglishGavz]

The start of the video where Yahtzee screws up, it feels like the guys saying "Don't worry, it happens to all men."

[fraserfj]

ah the master at work

[LenweCarnesir]

Yahtzee is the best video critic i have ever seen hes awesome

[SH4MR0CK8971]

Yahtzee you can do it!

[FoggyFishburne]

What song is he playing? Go Yahtzee!

[deaddrummer666]

Cliffs Of Dover - Eric Johnson

[coltmck]

good song

[Goldfire64]

Maybe it's just my connection, but it seemed like the sound was off by a second

[phobos001]

yeah i got that too :(

[stylnox]

yep it is :P

[esspytood]

pretty good

[habbloop]

lol i like that little pose at the end he does rofl

[Revolutionaries47]

Its so reassuring knowing im better than him in at least one thing.

[Reelbigearth]

Can I say that I respect Yahtzee more just cause he can't do a song well on hard like me O_O?

[killerzboy010]

expert

[LorChan1919]

Well it probably makes sense that Yahtzee is better than me at Guitar Hero. I mean, Everybody's better than me at Guitar Hero. And Yahtzee kinda gets paid to play games then stick together a four minute video about them. But that's why we love him :D

[proflolsworthy]

He is indeed good at other things; like being a misanthropic, twat minded, cynical douche nozzle. And that's why we love him.

[Backstabah]

I want his babies.

[habbloop]

thats just creepy

[rawr1im1a1dinosaur]

what song is that?

[Dasvaun]

cliffs of dover

[habbloop]

good song right? lol

[01Zipang]

one prob with GHIII where the F*** is clive winston!??!?!

[misanthropiclusion]

it's Benjamin Yahtzee Sebastian Godzilla Croshaw!!

[wwefangodman2]

Its actually Benjamin Yahtzee Sebastian Godzilla Croshaw Spec E

[eponlindsey]

GOD can he be more sexy than he is there!!!!!

[narutorox85]

It's not Yahtzee Croshaw! It's either Ben Richard Croshaw or Yahtzee!

[J2drpanda]

i was at there :) i like YAHTZEE

[rheegs]

apears to be the only game yahtzee is good at :P

[ShadeValryn]

prolly, did u see his review about GH? if not look it up, Zero Punctuation GH3

[rheegs]

nah i disnt ill look now :D

[chrisneylon]

wow he's actually kinda rocking out there

[entertheredfox]

gah the WORST game EVER, buy a real fucking guitar. but i still love you Yahtzee <3

[allnamesaretaken4]

whats wrong with it? and how come when i play mario you retards dont yell at me to go become a plumber. you play video games for fun and guitar hero is fun.

[DumbTomato]

Are you gonna force me? :P

[asakaboi1]

u miss the last note

[JeffL1313]

was the lag actually at convention or is the video out of sync?

[TeHInFErNo]

out of sync

[vanlol]

Indeed its out of sync, I blame the cameraphone :)

[musicianhayd]

yeah youtube often unsyncs your audio/video, unfortunately.

i don't hav gh3 for various reasons (eg bein a musician) but wat piece is this that he's playing?

[Dasvaun]

Cliffs of Dover

[musicianhayd]

cool, thx for relievin my naivete, and soz to mecha frieza who posted that 3 months ago but I didn't see :P

[SimonLMoore]

I can't believe we've got to a stage like this, not saying it's a bad thing, just can't believe it...

[JetorgXIII]

gamers are finally being accepted into society and Ben "Yahtzee" Crowshaw is leading the pack F YEAH!!!!!

[godly04]

lmfao, gamers are not being accepted into society..

They merely made their own society.

Nobody in this group on the video is a "non gamer."

[mecampbellesq]

These are quite possibly the truest words ever spoken in a youtube comment...

[habbloop]

but then again without us gamers none of you precious tech would be here. including youtube.

[ubberdemon69]

this song is the shit

[schmatt13]

Part Man, part God; complete legend.

[JetorgXIII]

Too right mate [sorry had to say it that way lol]

[raymier714]

what the fuck happened to clive winston?!

[narutorox85]

OMG yahtzee is a prophet who has descent from the heavens (or ascent from hell) to spread his amazing humor/accent amongst the rest of the human race.

[Tre0n]

100x better than me.

I couldn't do that if my life depended on it.

[RioGiovanni]

Yahtzee = Guitar hero.

[gigitrix]

haha he's even cool when he's mediocre!

[roetemeteor]

He's WAYYY better than me.

I'm currently weaning off from hard onto expert and god what a hard transition it is.

[hazingfun]

you are bad then

that was the easiest transition of them all

you arent even adding a button

[roetemeteor]

Go play through the fire and the flames on hard and then on expert and say "that was the easiest transistion of them all"

[DeathTheif]

You have to admit that is not the hardest transition of them all I think that normal to hard is the hardest because the notes drastically change to a faster rate and add one more note in it.

[roetemeteor]

I never really had an issue switching from normal to hard.

Then again, When I got to normal, I started to learn how to actually play the guitar, so I probably got the speed and coordination to play on hard from that.

But as of that comment I made, I can now play most songs on expert.

However, I STILL cannot beat ttataf on expert.

[NakkiTaikina]

I played TTFAF first on hard and only 3 days and I played it on expert, and I got 86% of all notes -.-. Easy song and the beginning is only hard

[obviousgeneralname]

Would you like a cookie?

[Shoelpkof]

At 1:20 you could see Yahtzee really getting into the song. He plays it for the fun, not the competition. That is why he shook off the missing of the final notes so easily.

[tetsuo138]

god, Yahtzee is such a 'that guy'

[Indi8976]

I was at the expo! It was AMAZING. The riff-wars was the best! I saw him! =D

[fudgepuppy91]

I've always thought if he really was better than me, which he wasn't...

I need a life...

[Boogyster]

Such a charismatic stallion.

[gfgtrjgfymtu]

A true herculian exemplar

[KrindlePWNS]

Ahaha, i love his stage perfomance

[adzicents]

God damn I wish I knew about this.

[LeBette]

he made it through the song- i couldn't do that. I think that deserves a good applause. and, you know, he frickin' yahtzee.

what song is it by the way?

[MechaFrieza]

Cliffs of Dover by eric Johnson it's a guitar instrumental

[ShadowsSpawn]

if anyone can screw up GH on a stage and still get clapped, its yahtzee, your frikken god you!

[Izerion]

Lol I have a hat just like that one :D

[browncyclone]

Hear those claps? That's me and my friends =D

[KuroFalcon]

I was there :D

[WootMapler]

me too :p

[millstab]

I wish I was there.....
