    Zero Punctuation: Mercenaries 2

    No more embedded ads (except the shameless self-promotion T-shirt sale business, which I forgive)! Thank you, Escapist. I preferred the tone of this review to several of the previous "I need to pad this out to 4 minutes" ones. Maintain this.

    Zero Punctuation: Spore

    This was the assessment that I'd made about the game months ago. Your reviews seem to be padded with a lot of "I don't have much to say, so I'm going to try to be funny" lately. The long "Nooooo" in this one and the absolute lack of content in the Too Human review are really detracting...

    Zero Punctuation: Alone in the Dark

    Cock-up Peninsula... brilliant. I'm going to have to find some way to rip that off now.

    Zero Punctuation: LEGO Indy

    I wholly understand what you're saying. I just preferred the old method where the ads/trailers/whatever were a separate file that played after the feature. Also, although I've only admittedly skimmed them (wondering if there's anything relevant hiding in there), they only seem to advertise...

    Zero Punctuation: LEGO Indy

    I really wish the Escapist would remove those rotten integrated ads at the end of the feature. Not entirely sold on the new format. The shark-jumping was last week, though, a new opening sequence hardly qualifies. Review this week was confusing. It apparently ended on a positive note but...

    Zero Punctuation: Webcomics

    I've been wondering... people tend to get on CAD's case for using a lot of copy/paste set pieces for creating characters. I see a lot of other webcomics do this to greater or lesser extents (and, really, is it substantially different than the pose sheets that traditional comic artists and...

    Zero Punctuation: Webcomics

    I guess you haven't picked up a newspaper recently. You guys talk about hackneyed comic writing as though that's the EXCEPTION. Drooling on about "Oh, any idiot can publish on the internet" would be compelling if it weren't for the general lack of content among the so-called "legitimate...

    Zero Punctuation: Webcomics

    Not that it'll stop anyone, but some of the people around here really ought to start making a distinction between the comic (that which Yahtzee is criticizing) and the author. I can't recall which ZP it was, but Yahtzee did make a point about disliking hot dogs because of who the vendor is and...

    Zero Punctuation: Webcomics

    I remember when I first stumbled across Zero Punctuation when the BioShock review had recently gone up. I laughed so hard that I nearly passed out for lack of breathing. That's gone steadily downhill and, for the life of me, I cannot figure out why. Maybe the format of ZP has just become...
