The "Yahtzee" Birthday Spectacubash

[ZippyDSMlee]

I could possibly chip in with some 'greetings from Norway', the point of the Earth to the exact opposite of Australia.

My contibutions would in this case be a Collector's Edition of Dreamfall (Book, Art, Special box, soundtrack and game)

And

wink wink

EDIT: This would necessitate the 'buffer person' to be of legal drinking age.

EDIT 2: I think a troupe should be nominated to bring them to him personally. Cost what it will.

EDIT 3: Could someone actually make something that shoots shuriken and lightning? If they can, now is the time to speak!

EDIT 4: And if it is at all possible to put tits on it and set it on fire that's be great.

I could (poorly) slap a couple of these on it...but it would redundant.... *rolls eyes*

 

[The Random One]

You guys are going to freak him out so much.

Well what I would send if I had the address and such to mail such an item to him would be Jhalopina peanut brittle or Metal Slug 2 and 3. Metal Slug simply because it contains two disk of games. So he can use one or both as a weapon, and have a case for two game to put in. So if he doesn't enjoy it, he can make use of it as a weapon in harming me/others with or in use of keeping two games he does like in one container. The jhalopina peanut brittle is delicious while being a bit odd. Something I don't think he has ever eaten before, again if he doesn't like it he has something to torcher people with.

Now a game that I think he would enjoy Voodoo Vince. It is a solid platformer that has a good deal of humor and puzzles. The main character fallows the same brand humor he dispenses is why I think he would enjoy it. If you loved Psycronauts you will enjoy Voodoo Vince.

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

I think fans make Yahtzee uncomfortable...he doesn't dislike them, but he "doesn't understand them [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.124885]." I think the best thing to do is poilitely and kindly wish him a happy birthday in the comments to his next video- he'll probably respond to it in Extra Punctuation. Anything else would probably wierd him out in a very awkward way.


Of course, everybody likes free stuff...

Send the Sly series. He likes stealth games.

for four year olds? now, i'd like that game if i were younger, gameplay's fine, but it's a talking raccoon. little immat- oh fine they're good games! but for yahtzee? no.

Say what you will, but the gameplay's solid. Isn't that all that matters?

Sure, and the story line's okay. I always thought he didn't like stealth games. Although, if you think he'd like them, go for it. I enjoyed them, and i would love to see that review.

Holy Shite on a crusted bun!!!!!! I have been a long follower of ZP and just realized that not only do I share the same first name, I also share the same Birthday (according to Wikipedia, date only, not year) Now that's just creepy. I swear I am not making this up.

 

[Inglonias]

Someone make a 2-D version of "Mankind Is Yet to Recognize My Genius." He'd be very happy indeed.

Barring that, I'd say sending him some liquor or wine or something would suffice.

 

[Syt's_Kitten]

this is an awesome, epic idea!

 

[Straitjacketeering]

Screw getting him games, each of us should send him a bottle of Vodka.

With the number of escapists though, dayum that'd be alot.

 

[soren7550]

Sly Cooper sounds like a good one (send him all three for all I care, although I strongly suggest the 2nd.).

For other games, I think Call of Duty:World at War and Shin Magami Tenseersona 3 would be interesting enough. Why?
CoD:WaW - He seemed to like its predecessor enough, and seeing as this one just upped the blood/gore/etc., he might get some joy out of that.
SMT3 - OK, I know he's not a JRPG person, but this game requires you to shoot yourself in the head to win. Multiple times. He'll probably still hate the game, but maybe he'll find the concept funny enough.

 

[Xsilsear]

Want to give him something he hates? Anything by Peter Molyneux.

I still stand by my choice, a gagged Peter Molyneux and those other two things. How to ship them? When there's a will there's a way.

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

Sending him this may make him hunt you down and kill you to death.

So killing didn't involve death before now?

OT: I'm not a huge fan of this idea, Yahtzee isn't really a fan person. I guess he doesn't really love us or hate us, he's just bewildered by us.

EDIT 3: Could someone actually make something that shoots shuriken and lightning? If they can, now is the time to speak!

Theoretically, you could build something that would be a mix of a stun gun and a gun that could shoot a shuriken, probably through compressed air if you made the chamber small enough that the shuriken takes up the whole chamber. You could also use a more crossbow like design and that might work. It would be impractical and I don't have the materials or the expertise required to build such a thing, but if someone else decides they might, these ideas might be a good place to start. I'm thinking the crossbow design could fire a shuriken and a grenade launcher type attachment to the bottom of the crossbow for the stun gun. Shouldn't be too hard and it might just work.

 

[Not Good]

I'm all for Kirby 64 in that box.
