Yahtzee delivers on his promise.

I guess it's a good thing Jim won, then, or we might not have had a concession speech on here.

 

[Barbas]

AHAHAHAHAHA!

Now that that's out of the way, good on Yahtzee. The man has balls of solid brass, polished to the nth degree.

 

[Thunderous Cacophony]

I was not aware Jim was leaving the Escapist; for anyone else who missed the news, I did a bit of digging and found this thread.

Ah well, it was a decent poem, and while I'll miss the insults between the two hopefully Yahtzee can pick up a new series to do. Maybe bring his Let's Plays over to the Escapist?

 

[Nergui]

But what kind of English mustard was it, mild or hot? I remember the first and last time I ever tried hot English mustard, I spent 20 minutes wondering what the fuck I'd put into my mouth.

Captcha - I think so

[NinjaDeathSlap]

Aw, I was kind of hoping Uncivil War would be continued on your respective Youtube channels. You guys made for a great double act.

 

[Lightknight]

Oh man, this had been one of the best new installments. Great final episode. Ben's a-game as usual.

 

[Mr. Q]

Oh God, even I started to gag when Yahtzee took that first spoonful. Thank God someone was there (girlfriend or wife?) to help him get back on track. Excellent job on this poem, Mr. Crowshaw. Now I really miss Rhymedown Spectacular.

 

[Kerethos]

Strong finish by Yahtzee here, well done sir!

I hope you and Jim can figure some manner of collaboration, like a continuation of these battles, in the future. As they've been most enjoyable.

 

[unspokenkibbles]

I'm gonna miss this theme song.

...and the competitions, yeah, but mostly the theme song.

 

[Silentpony_v1legacy]

Oh man! I've never seen a brutal mustard shot before. And fun little poem Yatzhee. Shame there won't be any more fights. But hey, you can always do a video podcast with Jim on his channel and play games there!


Also is English mustard spicier than American mustard?

English mustard is very hot, as far as mustards go, but Nergui is saying there's more than one kind, and I don't know the particular brand he ate.

The mustards most commonly used in accross Europe aren't hot in the same way a pepper is hot. But they have a horse-radish type flare like in wasabi. It burns the back of your nasal cavity more than your mouth. There are different mustards but in general they are often very strong (much moreso than any mustard I've had at an any American deli). Small amounts until you get used how it feels.

They have basic "yellow" mustard too, but it is less commonly used and - in my experience - more difficult to find at the store. Haha

Edit: While I'm not personally familiar with mustards in England, I am with those of continental Europe. Anyone with different experiences, feel free.

 

[JenSeven]

Will this show be continued?
Maybe Yahtzee against MovieBob or MiracleOfSound or maybe against Graham and Paul?

Good show, wish there was more of it.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

That poem was nothing short of excellent!

A farewell ode, it turns out.

 

[Evonisia]

Given Sterling's love of doing last second things designed for gifs, I'm glad Yahtzee did the same, and unlike with Jim it was genuinely surprising. A nice poem, too, especially that lovely final line.

He was eating MasterFoods brand English Mustard (it's an Australian brand), which comes in Mild and Hot varieties, as Nergui said. However, the Mild version has a large blue oval on its label, which is not present on the jar he was holding. So, it was Hot English Mustard. Eesh.

Yes. A thousand times yes. It's a punch in the face that you can eat. It's like getting pepper sprayed in the face while simultaneously breathing in tear gas. It's wasabi on bath salts.

And, judging from Yahtzee's reaction, it appears to have the ability to replace memories of fat jokes with searing-hot pain.

(And was that a female, American-accented voice I heard prompting him? )

This, pretty much. Horse-radish-like is the best way to define it. It hits harder and doesn't "burn" the same way as traditional pepper-like spices. Also, American mustard is sweet in comparison to most you can buy from European varieties. It's kind of like how American mayo is way more greasy and shape-retaining then most of the stuff overseas. (I'd also like to say that it tastes like shit in comparison, but that's probably because I grew up over said seas and prefer that version)
Just wanted to post this to say you're pretty spot-on. Also, horse-radish is the bees knees when I want a nice kick to my nostrils. That stuff with dark rye, whew.

 

[Imp_Emissary]

Good show, Yahtzee!

I'm glad ya went and did this even though Jim is leaving. Don't know if you'll ever get the taste of that "mustard & defeat" out of your mind now that ya may not get to go against Jim again (at least not here), but you know what they say.

The best revenge is living well.

Thank God for Jim and thank you, Yahtzee! =w= b (<- Thumbs up face)

If you watch his videos on YouTube, he says he has a girlfriend currently, I presume that's her, and can only wonder what a (presumably) adult woman thinks of this kind of thing!
