Yahtzee always seems very uncomfortable in front of the camera. He seemed the same during the GameDamage Pilot on youtube.

Is it just me or is this one of the stiffest interviews evar?
I blame the interviewer.
Well don't forget Yahtzee is a self proclaimed misanthrope so I'm not expecting him to be any good at interviews to being with...lol

Am I really the only one who liked Bioshock's endings?
I love Bioshock but the ending.....?

Well I'll tell you what annoyed me the most in that game's story,the point when Master Miller your contact comes out and says he's really the main villain Liquid Snake....0o

(first thing that came to mind when Atlas....yeahhhhhhh..>>)

Anyways, going against Yahtzee's idea of banning sequels, I'm really looking forward to playing Bioshock 2 as the big daddy...=D

(video games always seem to get better by the second installment I guess through learning the mistakes made in the first game, then going down hill from there)

Great interview, I wish I could talk to him. We have really similar opinions, but we would probably drown each other in the massive sea of sarcasm.

BTW, he looks damn sexy in those jackets.

That was interesting, but I can't believe Yahtzee started mirroring her North American end-of-sentence 'lift' - the whole 'talking along a rising scale' thing. Argh.

Also, I'm realise it wasn't a deliberate snub, but it was a bit off-putting that the interviewer kept looking away for follow-up questions when Yahtzee was talking to her, it came across as rather rude.

Susan was looking away for questions, because they were coming in live from IRC chat and had to be relayed to her somehow. It really has nothing to do with a standard interview format, other than to paraphrase translated IM-speak for a televisual audience.

I actually got saints row 2 only because ZP said it's how gta once was, and after playing gta4 that I hated partly because they added realism into it and partly because after paying for it I found out about an iron maiden concert I now could not afford. But when I made my character after watching this I realized he looks a lot like ZP but with a black suit and fedora and his hair is black. Even the accent/voice is similar should make playing more interesting from now on.

Nice interview tho wish I had caught it live.

Also living on a prayer is playing in the background during the explanation of the boring picture.

as a fellow englishman, I have to say that living away from the UK has destroyed his accent

'Metal' is pronounced: Meh'al....not medal

Just because you are speaking to yanks Yhatz doesnt mean you have to talk like one

Also, chill out no need to be so nervous, ur a legend nobody is marking you on this shit lol

Two Things;

1. What doofus managed to mis-spell Susan's name, and why has only one other person picked up on it?


2. Susan Arendt looks almost nothing like I imagined her to.

Does the Harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr thing ever stop? What time can I skip to for it to work again?

Edit: Nevermind. Damn. I wanted to hear if he said anything about Heavy Rain on that question.
