Er...I appreciate the concept, and frankly I whole-heartedly support the demise of the loathsome GameStop, but man...this guy needs a few diction lessons.

It's like Zero Punctuation but it's not funny at all and you can hardly tell what he is saying. God I loath this guy.

watched 15 seconds of the vid and raged.
Seconded.

Yeah, the guy's voice is irritating, the art style is... actually pretty good, but I'm still not a fan because he's using Yahtzee's design but screwing around with it, and I refuse to watch someone else ***** about their job while all I do on my weekends is listen to coworkers ***** about their job. Besides, I don't need to hear someone else ***** about used games, everyone on the intrawebs bitches about used games sales.

I've ignored this guy before when I've seen Yahtzee rip offs. He's smart, but should switch the style, granted he put general work into a very intelligent video, It's just I think he could come up with something his own, and speaking naturally would help a bit as well. Overall I'm probably gonna start following him now.

That guy really needs to stop mummbling, it sounds like his tongue has been nailed to the bottom of his jaw.

Its painfully difficult to understand what hes saying.

I don't mind him copying yahtzee (well the title is ZERO ORIGINALITY), and I think hes actually got a good point in ep 1, except I can't understand half the words hes mumbling.

Zero Punctuation is entertaining but its not exactly useful. This may have potential if he can speak more clearly.

There are a number of imitations (remember the blue background ones on Youtube? Not exactly a subtle rip-off). It's not even a terribly original format (funny words, funny images, who'dathunk?) but ZP is consistent and novel and so for those who like it, it doesn't get old fast.

Still, the internet thrives on self-reference, parody, imitation and replication, so all good. :)

Ripping off people is bad. Not knowing how to use your microphone is bad. It's really hard to tell what the hell this guy is even attemting to say. Then I took a look at the images, noticed that even they were ripped off, laughed at the title Zero originality and left the page.

He's complaining about a company trying to make money...? I don't get it, isn't that what companies do?

Although, it is kinda funny.

He's obviously ripping off and capitalizing on Yahtzee's fame, and he is to consonants what chainsaws are to brains, but he's actually pretty clever, I guess. It's a shame that he doesn't put his words to good use, like, say, fucking anything besides Zero Punctuation format.
