It's getting better, I find. At first he was trolling and hating games on purpose which was funny for a while then got old. There was a long dull period for a while and now the reviews are kind of objective and more interesting in that since.
Well, I find the humor to have gotten a little less smart, due to the fact that it's more about the aforementioned cock jokes and less about the relatible and cutting satire leaving the let's call them "cheaper jokes" the imagery. Thow I do think it has matured, in the sense that now there's more substance to his opinions and gaming ideas, not just beeing a cyinic for cynicism's sake and thus it's easier to see what he likes and where he thinks gaming should go.
And as a side note, I wonder where are we as a scoiety considering we are right now criticising critics and will probably be criticised in turn for our personal criticisms.
Is life one big critique?

Maybe I someone should create a thread called: "Is it just me, or is everyone creating threads about whether ZP is funny or not?"
Seriously though, I think he is still funny, it's just the more you watch him, the less the things he does seem outlandish and hilarious. I know this because occasionally a friend of mine will watch ZP with me, and he will always laugh his ass of in a way similar to that of me when I first saw ZP. I think basically it all depends on how long you watched ZP for. I continue watching it because occasionally it will make me laugh unexpectedly out loud, which I like.

Zero Punctuation is still good. Not as good as it was in the beginning when you were unused to it, but yes, it is still good and I would be VERY sad if Yahtzee stopped making them (please don't!).
There's nothing quite like playing a really bad game and then see Yahtzee eloquently bash it. I still watch his review of EVE Online when I'm in a bad mood. Always cheers me up. (EVE Online is TERRIBLE, there is NOTHING good about it. I agree wholeheartedly with everything Yahtzee said about it. It is not a game. It is a space-sim to pass the time for businessmen.)

People keep mentioning that this thread has been done before, but I haven't seen any. But I'm only on this site selectively so maybe that is why.Daffy F said:
It is a review, he points out a games flaws without sugarcoating it. So its informative and entertaining. I first heard about Yahtzee when i read his old article in PcGamer magazines i used to get. Plus im on the same side as anyone else with an awesome beard.
I like it but I also like Beavis and Butthead he would proabaly stop when the idiot governemnt down under bans 18+ and Mature only games
I think the guy said Rebecca Mayes Muses.. then people agreed... then people wondered why... then one guy said he liked her and no on picked it up. End of brief forum story.TheSkaAssassin said:
It is getting sort of grating since he seems to hate evey game not made by Valve, and calls out for games that have good gameplay but bad story in one episode, then says that is acceptable in another, or vis-versa. He is basically a proffesional troll now. Funny though.
