The Escapist Presents: Live Chat with Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw

[Kinguendo]

Good interview. Yahtzee has a very unique and very witty sense of humour, and this video showcases that very well.

I dont think unique is the way to characterise his sense of humour... if so then no one would find him funny... unless thats what you meant, in which case I advise you to run as the "Yahtzee Party" will eat you alive for insulting their fuhrer(!)

 

[Carbonhunter]

Yahtzee's a dude!?
Hah, anyway... I don't think anybody told him how the questions would be set out, she gave him too long to answer the questions without interuption then randomnly interrupted like 30 seconds into every start-stop answer. The Britishness shows through, if even YOU can't speak up in the face of rudeness Yahtzee then us normal Brits are screwed!!!

Hurr Durr

It was a good interview, albeit a little awkward at times. I would have prefered more questions on his opinions rather than 'what's your favourite X' but still pretty informative and interesting. Nice job.

 

[yosophat]

You guys should get another microphone.

Did anyone else notice they misspelled Susan's name at one point? They dropped the N in Arendt. Not sure how I noticed that.

Anyway, Yahtzee is a funny guy, even if he is wrong about JRPG's

 

[Abroham Wincon]

SHE DIDN'T ASK WHERE HE GOT HIS HAT!!!!

 

[Chris M.]

Anyone remember which episode it was that the imps tried to take over?

 

[Stabby Joe]

I hate her now... I really do... bad interview.

 

[General Vagueness]

Was the part about quick time events done well screwed up purposely? the sound skips, but the video moves fine.. hmmm.. Yahtzee you genius idea witholder! You're saving that for a game you're designing aren't you!?

When Yatzhee says "It's very hard" the sound bugs out...or was that done on purpose?

Not on purpose. The streaming software sometimes cuts out the audio like that when it records at the same time it streams live. Hopefully you can still understand what's going on from context.

I can't really. If it's possible please fix it.

 

[General Vagueness]

which ZP episode was taken over by imps?

The one with X-Blades and Halo Wars.

Sorry to say, but that portion of the chat can't be recovered. Trust me, I tried. Only Yahtzee has the answer now.

"I think I could do the Morgan Freeman thing pretty well."

It never occured to me he looked like MF until now but, damn, he really could look like Morgan if he wanted to.

Good interview. He's got a book coming out inspired by Discworld? I'll be buying it in that case. I love the Discworlds.

 

[syltman]

he got a good taste of music

He said Gordon Freeman lol....

 

[The Super Action Squad of One]

If nothing else this interview got me to look forward to the perplexingly-named Mogworld and piqued my interest in two new authors: Tom Holt and Robert Rankin. TO MY LOCAL LIBRARY!

Also loved how the audio glitch perfectly masked the answer to the perfect QTE question and the transition into the hats question, I could tell that was what happened becAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and whistled for a baboon!

 

[Wyes]

Speaking of limericks, the day after that review I had a creative writing assessment (Emulate Romanticism, huzzah), but I had the review stuck in my head... I wrote my story with a limerick rhyming scheme!

 

[Kuchinawa212]

=O

oh my god.... my two favorite escapist personalitys...talking...for thirty minutes straight...
I can die happy now

 

[duchaked]

great interview to watch, very nice to have some face-to-face time (sort of)
