Truth be told the best thing for either of them to do is to drop it or keep it behind closed Escapist doors. Inter...(office?) rivalry is pretty bad in and of itself, and these two have fanboys to back them up. All it will do is cause problems for the site if they continue to back and forth this.
what does everyone mean by the song cleverly combining her love and hate?
All I heard was bitchfest

I've watched this a couple of times, but the overarching point still escapes me...
Does...does she like him or not...?
Well, regardless, I enjoyed it as much as I do the rest of her songs. Good job, again.

Yeah, that's what I expected him to say. Man must he be confused.Finch58 said:
Heh, I live in England as well and there's large, visible gay communities in Brighton (where I'm from), Manchester and London, as well as smaller scenes in other major cities. There's plenty of bald, muscular body building types down here, although thankfully they're very unlikely to get 'roid rage and scythe you in half with a sword on a chain whilst screaming "ZEEEEUUUS!"Boyninja616 said:
I know that the point of ZP is to take the piss out of games, and that a girl character being badly written is a reason for them to be targeted- that was my original point. He doesn't pick on the character just because they're female and he hates women (which is what misogyny is)- he's picking on them because they're awful characters.
A good example I can think of would be the Final Fantasy XIII review- you've got a mixed cast of male and female characters there, and he spreads the hate equally.
As for 'that's life'- people have said that about a lot of things which have subsequently changed. It used to be 'that's life' that a woman couldn't vote, choose her own husband, or have any kind of career beyond being a housewife. I hope that the games industry will also see a shift, with more women being encouraged to pursue careers there. Unfortunately, there's a bit of a chicken and an egg situation going on- if there's no visible role models in the form of powerful and influential female developers, and very few good female characters, then surely that discourages women for taking an interest in the industry and wanting to be involved. One of the reason that games and gaming are seen as a masculine activity is because it is made by men and marketed at men. It works the other way round, too, with female dominated professions finding it hard to recruit men.
I guess I should probably read through all 400 comments, as some one has probably answered this, but I honestly can't bring myself especially when I have a 2 year old to get ready for bed.
What was the point of that song?
I could understand a witty criticism of Yahtzee. Or even praise (although lets face it in standard internet culture no one would be interested in that).
But that song made no sense at all. I mean at one point the lyric was something like "he shouldn't have put her down" or some such, but without any reference as to who or how the putting down occurred I was left wondering what she was talking about.
A witty criticism of Yahtzee would have been great, however (and I'm probably missing a big point some how) this song seemed to be crazy ramblings. Have I missed something? Was there some event that occurred which could fill in the blanks? Or some I just file it under crazy?

I'm speechless.
But again, I'm typing right now, not speaking.
I've been waiting for this one for... Quite a long time now. Ever since I first caught scent of it, as a matter of fact. (Captain Obvious right there)
The second I noticed that it had been finished, I of course proceded with listening to the song, and I have to say - I'm amazed.
And somewhat confused. I have this bothersome little doubt that... Well, is this really a love song, or is it just some silly way to process spiteful anger toward Yahtzee?
I really can't tell half of the time, but I'm going to presume it is, in fact, a love song.
Things might turn out better that way. And Yahtzee may no longer be able to boast about having "Alienized everyone that have ever loved you".
So, with any amount of luck, Yahtzee will reply to this song sometime, one way or another.
Perhaps with an actual comment.
Perhaps with a special episode of Zero Punctuation.
Or, hopefully, perhaps both of the above.
Or maybe he will run outside scream, flailing his arms around and drown himself in Branston Pickle.
All in all, it's a beautiful song written by a woman for a silly man.

haha good song....but yahtzee will prolly own ya... besides the point major propage =D this is the first stab anyone has to yahtzee
I thought it was kind of lame.
Sort of, sycophancy, thinly-veiled with a layer of manufactured disdain. It's hard to put my finger on it, but I think the problem is that Mayes doesn't really commit enough to the humour (like, say, Yahtzee does). Like she doesn't really mean what she's saying: you can see her trying too hard to be funny. And at the same time, trying to be innocent. Sort of a, "having your cake and eating" it deal.
(Edit: 499th comment. Damn.)

wait... her voice isn't a generic female singing voice?GameGoddess101 said:
Honestly... I thought the song was pretty poor... the ryhmes seemed like you were looking for the longest words you could rhyme and the whole "is it ok?" had no right being in that song... and it definatly had no right being repeated twice, it just feels like filler.
