Yahtzee reminded me of this: http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2736

Also, glad to see Jim writing something that doesn't make me feel like I need a bath.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Wow I suppose that's one way to look at Pac Man.

 

[Rassmusseum]

OMG Jim Rhymed board with board. He has no idea how to poem.There is nothing else to say about this Rhymedown!

Actually, it's board and bored.

This was a good one. It was also an interesting transposition that this time Yahtzee went to the dark and weird while jim went for the more straight game commentary... Although Jim did seem a bit out of sorts.

I'll give Benny one thing, it took me forever to find out it was Pacman he was writing about.

Jimmy, when are you gonna comment on score inflation? Because that is the biggest problem with games scores.

 

[madigan]

I think the problem with review scores is that many tend to look only at the grade and ignore the "whys" that formed it, which is ludicrous because the grade means nothing without the context of the "whys".

Also, Pacman.

Yahtzee, just a reminder, it was BATman that was just released, not PAC-man.
And Jim, don't let those trolls get to you, they only want you to praise the crappy game that they pre-ordered so that they won't feel like they fell for the hype and wasted money. It's their own insecurity and naivety that they can't live with and want to vent it on you.

Ah I'm too tired to watch these videos, I thought Yahtzee's poem was just about his job these days and how the modern games industry spews out a flavourless trail of rubbish with the occasional fleeting gem of originality. Or maybe it's just been too long since I played Pacman.

 

[themilo504]

Personally I prefer the Tetris hell over the pacman hell but there both better than pong hell.

 

[Evonisia]

Oh poor Pacman, you're just misunderstood by those nasty ghosts.

And Jim's poem didn't make me consider drinking so I'm left undecided on whether I liked it or not. It was a good critique of haters though.

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

Wow, at first I thought Yahtzee was doing a poem about Dark Souls or something, and then it clicked... Pac-man!
That sudden realization was the greatest moment of my life.
Yahtzee wins this week for me.

Batman? but Pacman and the Ghostly Adventures just came out! http://www.amazon.com/Pac-Man-Ghostly-Adventures-Nintendo-Wii-U/dp/B00CSLIYXY.

I wonder what would have caused Jim to make this lovely poem I really hope all those people that swore to never return to Destructoid actually do not come back. So many dumb asses just saying "clickbait" and "Cod MW3 got a 9.5" because they have nothing else to say and Cod bashing is the cool thing to do. It's much worse than when Greg Tito gave GTAV a 7.

 

[Lord Hosk]

Wow, I am utterly confused... Did Jim just... WIN?

Also, Pacman.

So THAT's what Yahtzee's poem was about! AT first I thought he was talking about some metaphorical prison for game critics who don't rate games high enough to please the rabid fanboys. See, I cheat and look at the tags below the video to see what their subjects are.

 

[Guffe]

This was an OK week of "Yathzee won!"

Got to say Jim, I hate when people take stuff out of context. Of course one sentence can change it all!
