So as we all know alot of us came here in search of the next fix of ZP, after trawling through Youtube (and it really is a trawl) do get our next fix of Yahtzee, but now we are here we have the amazing Doomsday, Drain by pain, Brawl et al.

And since you are like me searching for ZP and shit at grammar, and seeing the gawd awful ZP clones trying to suck Yahtzee off but only making him and us flacid with their try hard ways, but are the G-Stark and P-dude (thats Graham and Paul of Unskippable for the uniininintiated*) aren't getting the same treatment in Youtube where poor copies are all over the place, why not ? they are frikkin funny.

In light of this, I propose we make a tribute video to G-Stark and P-Dude to put up on youtube, suggestions on the game, who does it, shittiness factor, and anything else, please put foward.

Beauty is, we can't get sued, by Youtube, Game companies or the Escapist, as such... I propose the name "Unculpable"

*i've heard that word but cannot replicate it, it means new and unheard.

edit: i dont think I make sense?

Why would you search youtube for ZP? It's all right here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation

Yes I know, what I mean is that if you were to search youtube when *Yahtzee was there before on the escapist* then you get some of him... and some shit clones trying to hard to be like him.

*in the before time, the long long ago*

You are so sued
how?, please elaborate.
I am going to sue you for having what is quite possibly the worst idea ever.
Sue G-stark and P-dude first, and by association "the escapist", since it was G and P's idea and the escapist had the compitition for the video.

I'm in for a windfall. You owe me an internets. PAY UP.

Because UnSkippable is and remains nothing more than a clone of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and RiffTrax, just with video games. Are you implying that everyone should copy unskippable and rip off one of the most clever shows ever to grace television and the universe? Well, horray for you, because they already have.

Good luck with your fan video, let me know how that turns out. (Not being sarcastic, I really want to know.)

First, it's "uninitiated", you have an extra 'in' in there. And it would be more accurate to define it as 'having no knowledge of or experience with something'

Second, isn't Unskippable basically MST3K done over videogame cutscenes? That is not terribly original. The primary reason Yahtzee has so many people copying him is because he did something that was creative, original, and distinctive. Now you may find Unskippable funny (I do not), but humor alone isn't going to motivate people to attempt to crib their style.

I mean, seriously, most people would probably think that you were ripping off MST3K, not Unskippable, if you put something like that up on YouTube.

Unskippable takes a simple idea and makes me laugh. ZP makes me cry when I see him bash a good game, and know that 1000s of fanboys of his won't play that game now...Just because he said so...

wow, lots of hate for the Gstark and Pdude, I'm here praising them and you hit them down.

Well i'm sorry that you're so highbrow, since your so good at everything, please explain to me this part of your comment

"well horray for you, they already have"
hooray for me?, ME?, and then, THEY ? they already have!, so what is it are you praising in your sarcastic comment... me or they?

come on man, if it remains nothing more than a clone of something else why would it be so difficult to do?, so why dont you make a suggestion?, like I asked originally.

i think he can up the sales of an unknown game but not put a dent in the sales of something like "Brawl".

Daniel Floyd isn't too bad, he doesn't review games, more of concepts like storytelling, sex, and the uncanny valley. He even does the little end show blurbs.

yes, and ray mears bushtheater, or whatever its called, we know that already....

I wasn't trying to touch the hearts of a thousand Escapist's, unfortunatly, they are too busy illegally downloading ZP or playing Left4dead to worry about such frivolous activity as having a laugh and messing about.
