Why would you want to imitate ZP anyway? Sure he has plenty of viewers, but he's bitter and hates practically any game that doesn't fit his preconceived notion of perfection, which is basically every game, except for Portal.

He is a critic, he provides critique... That's what he does...

To critique is to point out the flaws on something. He hates any game that isn't the second coming of Christ. If you haven't liked any game since Portal, then it's pretty hard to consider someone a video game fan, even considering difference in opinion.

Or he criticises them in a five minute chunk. You do know that the world isn't the same for a critic as for a consumer, right? He doesn't play one game and he's done for the week, just like movie bob doesn't just watch a movie. They have to partake heavily of their medium and then pick it apart with every tool at their disposal. This would be awesome if you were always playing God of War but you're not, you're playing garbage and you have to keep playing it.

Yes, but you can't tell me that he has been playing garbage. It's not like he's not playing the big name titles. He's playing the highly rated ones, and for the sake of views, rips them to shreds.

I can't understand half the things he says so I stopped halfway through.

You do realise it's a act right? Just don't take him seroisly.

I wouldn't take him seriously whether he was serious or not. I'm just tired of the praise the guy is getting, and how rabid his fans are when it comes to defending him is all.

True they are quite... aggresive at times. I just view his vidoes has good 'ol british humour! That is complaining about stuff. We do allot of that...

A bit late to the party buddy.

 

[Funkiest Monkey]

It's not like he's been inspired by Zero Puncuation, but he's full-on ripping him off. But without the charm, and more of a drone-y voice.

God dammit this guy sucks ass.

 

[Spectre4802]

He had to use Yahtzee's style of speaking, didn't he?

Yahtzee himself said that he didn't even realize he was talking fast until Russ pointed it out to him. I imagine he doesn't really strain to get the words out as fast as possible, he just goes for it and it comes out quickly and clearly.

I guess this illustrates the point that Yahtzee's style of speaking isn't for everyone. The guy should have practiced this a few dozen times so he could nail it, because it's bloody hard to decipher what he's saying.

 

[Rarhnor]

It's called Zero Originality. It probably implies his awareness of using Croshaw's reviewing style.

He explains the Game-trading market pretty well, despite his lacking credibility.

 

[steveredd]

believe it or not he Loves yatzee.

He = You. Doesn't he?

Nope. I belive its in Ep 3 he says he loves yatzees work
