This is definitely my favorite so far. Though I may be a bit biased...I wasn't planning on getting a new console regardless and the Xbone reveal still managed to piss me off.
Heh. It's version 6. "The one that finally worked well"[footnote]To those who don't know what I'm talking about:empirialtank said:
A) DOS 3 was the first tolerable version, DOS 6 was the first one that was actually OK.
B) While NT 5 was the first one that worked well, NT 6.1 was the first one to really be usable without too much trial and error (NT5=WinXP/2k3; NT6.1=Win7/2K8R2/2k10)[/footnote].
Yahtzee is getting better. Jim is, too (but I think he's still experimenting to see what his style will ultimately be).
Yahtzee crafts tight allegory
As the boys paint MS whore-y and hoary
But Jim's killer verse
Drove the point home in a hearse
And cooked rhymes like Chef Boyardee.

These just keep getting more and more amazing.
I swear, while most places are in a slow decline, the content on the Escapist just gets more fantastic.

Loving this and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the current format. But, might I suggest if you guys ever find yourselves wanting to shake things up a bit: A Lightning Round Haiku-off?
No you would just have to pay again if you wanted anyone other than yourself to play with them
Both very good, but Jim's gets a bit of extra kudos for making me laugh for a good ten seconds at the end.
To use Yahtzee's metaphor it's more like going into a steak house only to find that the menu is mostly vegan and diet specific now, and while they do still offer a small list of decent quality kinds of steak, you have to pay up front get their permission to eat it while the waiter peers over your shoulder the whole time (and will be be sharing your every word with god knows who), and if you want to take some leftovers back home to share then you have the full price for each additional person.
Oh and if you're from out of town then they can't serve you now, but they might at some indefinite time in the future.

I think Jim's poem had a really clever hidden meaning... Jim was basically beating around the bush for full 2 minutes before getting to the point, which is what we actually want to hear. This is very similar to what Microsoft are doing with the Xbone: they're beating around the bush, talking about all this unimportant nonsense they've included in the console, leaving very little room to talk about the actual games in this gaming consoles.
