Oh wow! Also it seems that the meme train has already set off.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdAX8o5UDQU

Yeah I have to admit I was baffled how I managed to avoid a warning and you got one for effectively complementing his joke. ;D

Well you're probably right in that most people go in with their own expectations anyway, though I'm confused by your assertion that Psychonauts is not a popular game. re: his justification of his critiques with an argument. If your critique is so flippant, picking up on things just for LOLs...

All reviews are completely and utterly personal opinion, silly. ;) (unless bought) the point is that it appears his reviews are not so much personal opinion, unless he's the most miserable game hating person in the world, but desperate hunts for 'personal opinions' that fit with what he thinks...

See Charlie Brooker for details. Exactly the same kind of shtick. Where he excels though is picking something that his viewers haven't heard of and probably wouldn't watch if they had a gun at their head, but still makes the reviews MASSIVELY entertaining. And the kicker, he can be all loved up...

You're employed and paid by a magazine (online or otherwise) to give critical opinion on products for public consumption, you're a reviewer, to suggest otherwise just because it's got a seperate tab on the home page is ridiculous. And the suggestion that a review needs to have a score is a...

Well... yeah, that's kinda what I was going for. ;) Oh you won't find me getting all offended on a game's behalf. The only thing that winds me up more than Yahtzee is the culture of offence where people whine about someone making a tasteless joke or poking fun at someone else. Boo hoo! They...

I should also point out that, in the scheme of things, I'm pretty open to changing my opinion on someone or something I dislike. Perfect example would be Russell Brand. First time I saw him I thought he was king of all the unfunny pricks. I didn't find him funny in the slightest, and...

Oh undoubtedly, just as I said in my original tl;dr post. My point is that whether I personally find him funny or not, or whether I dislike or like his persona, there is a lot more non-subjective evidence in this sample chapter that his writing sucks than can be gleaned from a much more...

Hey guys, we should stop this squabbling. It's not really fair to the Escapist or Yahtzee to be squabbling and arguing with each other and hijacking this thread, we should keep the comments purely about the sample chapter. It sucks.

I am genuinely sorry. We fall on opposite sides of the battlefield, purely because you like Yahtzee, and I have so much untempered hate for him it automatically makes me judge everyone who likes him, perhaps it's snobbish to do so, sure, but I judge all the same. I'm sure you're lovely...

Oh this is too much. I suddenly understand why Yahtzee is so popular. With your deft grasp of repetition used for humour I can understand why you're so fond of Yahtzee.

Very creative and witty use of sarcasm too. I can understand why you're so fond of Yahtzee.

Amazing. With your deft grasp of irony I can understand why you're so fond of Yahtzee. :p
