Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: To Game Or Not To Game

[Ishal]

Jim that was your best one yet. PRaise the Sun and Praise Jim!

Props for using the awesome Ornstein and Smough track in the end too.

 

[Zato-1]

I'm impressed, Jim. This was much better than your two previous performances. Yahtzee was great as always, though my favorite performance of his is still from the very first of these videos.

I'm very much enjoying Rhymedown Spectacular

 

[DTWolfwood]

Way to be marvelous peeps.

 

[Jikuu]

Don't really have much to say other than I really like this series and vote for its continuation. Thanks!

 

[Something Amyss]

Loving these more and more each week. =D

Yahtzee looks a little crazy in this one.

To be fair, I thought he looked somewhat crazy in all of them.

Touché. I should have said "crazy (even for Yahtzee)."

"Chest High Walls' been in the biz' since Super Mario World"

 

[ExtraDebit]

I know not if this fits here; if not is it a crime?
My heart just have an aching desire to voice my woe in rhymes
I have fallen for a girl recently that possessed both beauty and brain
She string me along and played me like a toy which caused me sorrow and pain

She sends her mixed signals her intentions never clear
I can feel her hesitation as I tried to get near
Sometimes she ignores me, sometimes she answer my calls
She never truly rejects me; nor claims for me her heart falls

Why do I put myself through this? I've been through this before!
The signs are there for all to see; she's clearly a ***** and a whore!
Though my heart is broken and shattered, but I shouldn't be upset
I am a man after all; I shall not linger on hate and regret

The sea have more than one fish; the forest more than one tree
Only when I adopt this thinking; then can my heart truly be free

 

[JarinArenos]

Best from Jim so far. Maybe he's hitting his stride here. Keep it up!

 

[MatsVS]

This is just the most wonderful thing. Please don't ever stop.

 

[Serious Business]

In just 3 Episodes, this has really become my favorite show on the Escapist.

And yeah, this time I liked Jim better than Yahtzee, altough both were absolutely fantastic. As always.

 

[Mythmaker]

I'm loving this. It's funny, but it's true.

 

[Mel Theofficegamergirl]

A chest high wall won't make you a sandwich.

 

[hazydawn]

Jim was really good this time, liked it even better than Yahtzee's =]
You should stick to the rhymes Jim, because writing a poem that doesn't rhyme much and does not sound crappy is incredibly hard.

 

[Kingjackl]

Best ones yet

 

[greyscarf]

When Yahtzee revealed who the wife was I had to pause the video because it made me laugh for about half a minute. Well done, sir.

I did too. Then when he got to, "Some days you're just an office desk I've pushed on it's side" I lost it again.

And then when Jim's came on, I was laughing out loud again by the time he got to the third "I died".

Love this new series! Can't wait for next week.

So Yahtzee's equating the rocky chest-high walls to women, right? So what the hell were those metal slabs that sprung out of the ground with a switch in Gears of War 2 supposed to be then?

well I think he meant any chest high wall. mentioned a desk and all that.

and then the uninitiated of youtube mistaked this and now any time yahtzee makes a complaint against chest high walls they'll cry "but you said you loved them in your poem."

 

[Joseph Cortinas]

See I was sceptical of this show after last week. as good as these poems were it seemed that as much as I love commentary on the problems in the gaming industry, I was getting over saturated with it and this just seemed like it would become more of the same.

But this week I'm glad to see I've been proven wrong. As long as it is kept just fun and silly and about the love of games, or even poking lighthearted fun at them this will continue to be awesome.

Thanks Jim and Yahtzee.
