100th Zero Punctuation video... or is it? Can Yahtzee count?

[DamageZP]

Now, feel free to call me picky, but...

...by my reckoning, Red Faction: Guerilla was Yahtzee's 100th video, not Call of Juuuuarez...

Yes, yes, picky, I know.

It's simple enough, every page of ZP has 20 reviews on, apart from the very first page which has 4. There are 6 pages total which gives you 104 reviews. All the reviews are in chronological order so it's not rocket science to count back from 104, which takes you neatly to... Red Faction. And yet the Juuuuuuuuuarez review had all sorts of fanfares about it being number 100.

Can Yahtzee not count? Am I missing something mind-blowingly obvious? Do I have far too much time on my hands? Who did shoot J.R.? All these questions, and more, must be answered!

Can you help? Am I going mad? Can I stop asking these stupid questions?

Who can say?

He didn't count the videos he did that weren't about games.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Calm down, sweetheart!

 

[GodsOneMistake]

I think he didn't count, those mailbag roundups and the other videos that weren't exactly reviews

 

[daz_O_O]

He already stated he wasn't counting the rerun and compilations, only reviews he actually had to do some work for.

 

[Emphraim]

He didn't count the mailbag and GDC roundup videos.

 

[Grayjack]

Some of them are specials, such as the E3 Hype Massacre. I doubt he counts them as reviews.
And do we really need a thread on this?

He counted them, but he didn't count the reviews he didn't work for. Like the rerun or the Christmas compilation.

Sweet J.R.'s ghost, that was fast!

And comprehensive! Consider myself told!

"Sweetheart", eh? Aww, shucks! I'd blush but I don't think the forum code supports it...

Thanks, all!

The real question is... does anyone care?

In actuality, though, he has "Console Rundown" twice on the list.

 

[Nincompoop]

At first I thought; "Well he might not have counted all his videos as 'reviews', thusly wouldn't be tallied.". Then I watched his alleged 100th review. He actually did say "video", not review, not anything else, but "video". So yes, I guess math is not his strongest attribute =P.

EDIT: Oh snap! Of course. I was aware of that double-post or whatever.

I do, because I'm bloody pedantic!

I'm glad I'm not completely off my tree, then!

He already explained this in Extra Punctuation: The Conduit. It's on the second page but I'm linking the first page because the article is worth reading from the beginning.

Just to clarify, yes, with the Call of Juarez video it's officially 100 videos discounting the 2008 clip show and the repeat of Console Rundown. We're only counting videos I had to do some actual work for. So stop arguing about it, you idiots.

And if he deemed it worthy of comment then I guess it was a worthy question, even if it's obviously already been asked before.

It's nice to have these things explained to me, though, if things don't add up I get all confused.

Some of them are about gaming conventions which he didn't count as a review. nice try.

Way to ignore the rest of the thread. I take it reading isn't yours? =P

Actually, I originally wrote "reviews" in my question, and then I changed it to "videos" so I didn't get caught in the same trap. So Ninco has definitely nailed the exact point I was trying to make. Ta!
