GameDamage (Yahtzee's new show)

[gigastrike]

So I was watching Yahtzee's new review and at the end I saw that he decided to get together with some of his mates and make a show called "GameDamage", located here: http://www.gamedamage.net/.

So my question's are:
1: What do you think of it? Is it something that you would be interested in?
2: Did you think that Yahtzee was slightly more socially awkward than you thought?
3: What do you think candy has to do with gaming, if it has anything to do with it at all?

I thought the show was pretty good. I'm not sure if I'm going to get into it, but I'm willing to watch a few episodes to give it a fair chance.

1. I think it's brilliant and I'm looking forward to more.
2. He does seem to focus on the camera a lot, which to me is a sign of nervousness.
3. Candy fuels gamers to play more games. It also breaks the ice at parties.

1. Yug, Yahtzee and Matt are my favorite combo back from their podcasts in australiangamer.com Hearing this news made me jump in glee and watching it made me jump even higher. It was great
2. Yahtzee can be something more... than I thought? Over the I've found that nothing about Yahtzee can be unexpected.
3. That's what you're supposed to write to them, not to us.

I saw part of an episode, so I can't say I'm an expert, but will say this:

I'm not a fan. Yahtzee does seem awkward, and it just doesn't seem...worth the time to watch.
Yahtzee doing this is like...an action movie actor trying to do drama.
Think 'Simple Jack' (For those who have seen 'Tropic Thunder').
Totally out of his element.
And while he's not BAD, per se, he's not good either. I enjoy ZP, no doubt, but I'll stick with that.

I can't seem to connect to that page. Not sure why, but it times-out every time I try...hmm...

It's very meh. It has its moments but they are few and I quite frankly don't feel like sitting through 25 minutes of shit for the 5 minutes that could make me laugh.

My work internet blocked me from seeing it.

 

[Woundingisfun]

Have you seen it before, because if this is your first time watching it, how can you rate a 30 min. video after 4 minutes?
My first impression is: GREAT! Smart, funny and absolutly how every decent show about gaming should be. Keep it up!

Ok, skip that part.

It really is meh if it was on tv I would probably turn it over which is a shame.

 

[Bagaloo]

Meh. It wasn't particularly good in my opinion. I think Yahtzee is brillaint in ZP, but I'd be fairly surprised if any networks actually picked this up.
It just seemed very awkward.

 

[Ranooth]

1. Quite awesome, looking forward to it
2. Im actually quite terrified of Yathzee now, he does look like the sort of guy that sets puppies on fire
3. Sweet = Awesome, Games = Awesome 'nuff said

 

[FightThePower]

1. I thought it was pretty good, but they laboured their sketches too much. Just making one MGS joke and then moving on would have been funnier.
2. No, but I love the way he never smiles.
3. I think it's one of the primary foodstuffs of the gaming elite. When one is playing a high-octane shooter it's important that the player receives energy so he can keep going - nearby sweets are both high in energy and easy to eat, so naturally are suitable for this task.

It has it's moments like the Duke Nukem Forever Design Team (hilarious imho), but it just isn't as polished as it could be.

I think i'm gonna stick with Zero Punctuation for now.

 

[MarcusStrout]

Eh, alright. I'll give it a shot, but Yahtzee's pulling out of his element. He's so good scripted that this other crap isn't worth his time to perform, and therefore isn't worth my time to watch.

 

[hippo24]

I wish there were less skits, and I wish Yahtzee had an actual expression...but otherwise quite good

 

[kaiZie]

Hey, this is my first post!

I actually think this is awesome and hope it becomes a weekly or bi-monthly.
The other two guys give a nice balance to Yahtzee's hatred for the world and all things in it.

Plus its nice to see Yahtzee in something other than black man on yellow background mode.

All in all damn sweet.....just like his hat.

Same with me.

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

I can't accept Yahtzee in not animated form. It just doesn't work for me.

FYI, I added the youtube embed to your post. Their site doesn't seem to be too happy at the moment.
