Lets hope he doesn't put on a man-tard and flail around in a lake... Anyways catchy song best in awhile - it would have been a lot stronger without the bit at the end. Crinched a little there.

I'm not referring to the staff at the escapist that maintains the website (Erik Jacobson?) when I mention the producers. I'm referring to whoever is making the decisions as to who to pay to develop (Russ Pitts?). I haven't memorized the structure of your company. I don't know if Themis Media has the final say on what shows are continued or discontinued.
My note to the producers was intended to be taken very differently (hence the all due respect). I intended to get across the point that if something is making you money (considering Themis Media Group incorporated) then by all means go for it as long as it doesn't inconvenience your audience or customers (yes, including whoever you're selling add space to).
In short, Themis Media Group is a business and it's acting like one. That's fine and I say more power to you.
i felt your sarcasm inappropriate, sarcasm is something we do when we are trying to discredit a person or their views,hence my post. ty anyway.
i thought i had responded to a particular fella, my mistake for not quoting properly

Had to register to Escapist to comment on this song, worth it.
Seriously, if she has been singing songs like this for 2 years now, she should give up now. The wit of a bloodhound? The wit of a bloodhound?
"Hm, what ends with an 'ound' sound? Oh yeah, bloodhound!"
I'm not an imbecile fanboy who will stick up for Yahtzee no matter what, but this woman seriously needs to take some classes in rhyming and making better songs, or just give up altogether. Holy crap what terrible music. No good hooks, no catchy lyrics, no nothing. Stupid attention-whoring, nothing more. Too bad Yahtzee actually tacked this excuse for a music video at the end of his video review, she might get the idea she's doing a good job.

Never watched any of her videos before this one, so, regardless of her intent, she piqued my interest. I've taken a look at a few of her others since...and liked the one for the Sims 3, and discovered, much to my surprise, that I've got a Joker Girl fetish. :S
As for Bloodhound (a.k.a. Love Song For Yahtzee), however, I liked it overall. I thought that the first 40 seconds or so were somewhat weak rhythmically, but was hooked as soon as it, in my opinion, "found itself" during the chorus, which I rather liked. It sounds full of hope and yearning...for acceptance and a deeper meaning. I like that.
I've listened to the song several times since then, and, while I still don't care for parts of it, I think that it works overall. Despite comments about the repetitiveness or simplicity of the chorus, I don't think that really detracts from the song. Unimaginative filler or not, I like the chorus, as well as the "Raging Feminist" bit that follows the second refrain, though I think "Shit List" would have sounded better than "Black List."
I'm probably going to piss some people off with this comment, but I would like to see her re-use the chorus in something a little more mainstream, perhaps a song about social acceptance or the insecurity of youth. She'd probably make money hand over fist on the single, especially if the music video featured her singing it in the same unsure but sweetly hopeful way she does in this video.
Anywhoo, those are my two cents.

Ah, but therein lies the key. It's still a choice.MasochisticMuse said:
A choice that I... for one... am glad you made.
Wanna go out for drinks sometime?
RE:
of course i'm just making that shit up, she totally was reaching for a rhyme.
The phrase "the wit of a bloodhound" is an old phrase common to the 19th and early 20th century first coined by E.E. Cummings. It is a term used to refer to the harsh comments of people who hone in on the slightest flaw of character as if driven by the very scent of that flaw.Ba5 said:

Oh god STOP POLLUTING yahtzees videos! Zero Punctuation is the only reason I go to "The Escapist", and yes, I checked every other "entertainer" here, and the only one I got a laugh out of were the guys from Unskippable.
Judging from the comments, 75% of all the website visitors just come here for Yahtzee,and I know The Escapist tries to promote the other stuff here, but seriously, nearly all of it is abyssaly BAD.
So please keep the shrieking harpy locked away in her section of this side.

Pardon the tangent, but what exactly is the big deal about women having underarm hair?Pro DELBOY said:
You know... it grows there naturally. It's not like she grew a beard.
And are the armpits somewhere you really like to touch during sex? Like to get your face in there, do you?
I guess I can't speak for everyone, but I fairly ignore a person's armpits.
So why should I care whether a woman has hair there?
