Whos that guy in the yahtzee reviews?

[d3nni5lor3nz]

Ive been watching most of the zero punctuation videos by now and i've wondered: who is the guy whos photo yahtzee uses all the time in his reviews? if you dont know what i mean, its in the beginnning of the NEAR review when he says "i've asked everyone i know...." or in the overlord 2 review when he says real time stupid.

im just wondering.

btw this is my fist topic so i hope i put this at least in the somewhat appropriate forumpart thing.


also, Happy New Year!

Apparently its a guy called Thomas Ruff. I checked Yahoo Answers.

Yahtzee mentioned he uses it because he was searching for a completely emotionless face, and how most people who try end up with a little of some emotion, whereas that face seems completely emotionless to him.

I wonder if he knows about ZP... Wouldn't that be a weird thing to find out, entirely out of the blue?

That guy looks kinda like a mate of mine. Always makes me chuckle when I see that.

Thomas ruff is the artist who made that picture NOT the guy itself.
I have no clue who that person is.

I always kind of thought he looked like Chris Hansen.

I think Thomas Ruff was the guy who took the photo, not the guy in it.

The next one says Thomas Ruff too but it definitely isn't of Thomas Ruff

i think he knows.
thomas ruff - wikipedia:
"The popular video game reviewer Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw frequently uses an image of a man with no expression in his reviews to represent stupidity or boredom, which he got from a collection by Thomas Ruff."

[small]Don't worry, there's still Splendor Man (Slender Man's sexual preference-ly ambiguous half-brother).[/small]

Whomever he is, he looks to me like the guy who does "The Soup," Joal Mchale. Just a little bit. Similar facial features and spacing.

I live in a dorm overlooking the campus and I see bros all the time, and it is not my fault if I just happen to picture them all wet and soapy!
