So I just registered to the Escapist so I can finally post about how awesome ZP is 
Been watching for about the past year now and I gotta say it's one of my favorite web-series ever
But now down to business. I know 100 is just a number...but I like numbers. And so I've decided to give the official tallies for his videos.
Number of videos created by Yahtzee: 102
Number of videos on the Escapist: 102
Number of videos on the Escapist created by Yahtzee: 100
So the count to "100" does not include:
-Yahtzee's two videos on YouTube (Fallout and The Darkness)
-The "Year in Review 2008" Video and the Console Rundown repeat on the Escapist
There is also one little thing that is bugging me...
I sat and rewatched the montage at the end (which was EPIC btw) but noticed there is a game missing from the pictures...
THERE'S NOTHING FOR ASSASSIN'S CREED!
Now I haven't actually played AC (because I haven't played a lot of "newer games" tbh :S) but the "I'm an Assassin (Shhh!!)" joke is one of my favorites by Mr. Croshaw. And the lack of a picture for AC just makes the montage incomplete...though the "sewer" pic for Fear PM seems to lag long enough that a pic for AC could easily fit...redo anyone?
Anywho, congratz Yahtzee on 100 (and 2) videos! Let there be many more of them!

This is the very reason I joined The Escapist, to watch these videos. Well, I guess the reason I JOINED was to visit the forums and actually converse with people, but the reason I stayed at first was the Zero Punctuation videos. This, Yahtzee, was a fantastically funny episode that I'm only sad took me a couple days to watch because my desktop has a sucky soundcard and my laptop was busted and in for repairs, now thankfully fixed and returned to loving arms.
The review was funny, informative, and I actually want to play it - and the way Yahtzee said "Juarez" was so damn hilarious I nearly pissed myself after the fourth time he did it. Plus hearing the full ZP theme was pretty nice, never heard the whole thing until this point.
In short: Awesome!
Oh and grats for a number of videos which seems like binary rather than a special occasion. Or if I was going to say seriously: grats on 100 ZP videos, Yahtzee! You still rock.

Crap, the game contest has to be in flash. Not everyone knows how to work flash you know. >.> ow well next time when they ask us to use the real mans tool for game development C++. But any ways congratulations on your 100 episode blah blah blah, Indeed its just a number. Also more dick analogies please, I miss those. I loved how he said "juares" all stereotypically. Its hilarious.
Ah, the full theme song felt just right for the celebration of the 100th ZP episode, and watching all the episodes pass by was a perfect montage of the good ol' times.
And this review was actually quite good.

Does no one around here, Ben included, know how to count?
This is video 101 under "The Escapist" banner.
Everyone here can even verify it themselves just by counting. But I'll break it down anyways. There are 6 pages, 5 pages with 20 videos (100) and page #6 with only 2. That's 102 videos in total. One video, Console Showdown was repeated once (originally added 08/29/2007 and repeated on 06/11/2008). That was the only repeat and that makes for 101 completely separate and unique videos created by him posted here. I have them all saved to my computer, numbered, and it also comes out to 101. I even just went back and one-by-one compared my Zero Punctuation folder with all 6 pages of videos here on the site. Perfect match, 101 separate videos.
So, I can only assume this must mean one of the earlier videos is being ignored as not counting? So I guess my question now would be: which one? Going out on a limb, I'm thinking maybe video #26 - "Yahtzee Goes to GDC" since that is the only one that does not start with the Zero Punctuation title (though the slate does appear at the begining of each category he covers).

(face palm) yea we do actually and if you go 10 comments up you'll notice a guy who counts very well. why not read some of the comments first?Artlover said:
This was all well until the end... where you showed that full theme song with all the old footage of previous reviews, now I want watch all your videos.... again... for the tenth time... But then I remember that your starting videos have an awkward voice to them, so I'll delay this till the next time you make me wanna do this, greedy bastard. 9 times just wasn't enough? Huh?
great review concrats on your 100th review, i would love to be in that compation but i cant make games =( no idea how but hopfully in the not to distant futcher i will be making games for companie's and if you are still reviewing i hope you utterly destroy what i have made cos it would be funny as hell XD
Yeah, I saw it. And?dubious_wolf said:
When an admin from The Escapist or Ben (IE: someone who actually does know what the score is) replies, then I'll be more then happy to accept their answer as fact (as it would be). But I'm not going to give any weight to someone who has no apparent affiliation with Zero Punctuation or The Escapist that just joined today and has only that one post for providing the definitive answer. Especially when their math seems a bit sketchy too.

No, let's try 103. 104 if you want to include the short announcement video of the switchover to The Escapist.
Yes. 101+1 repeat.
No, let's try 101. Not sure why he is suggesting that Ben didn't make one of the videos.
Obviously.
Not sure why he is choosing to exclude "Year in Review 2008". I'm assuming this is the video he claims wasn't created by Ben. Pretty sure Ben himself was the first one to reply apologizing for the clip-show episode and promised something better next time. I didn't see any obvious declaration that it was put together entirely by others and not him. I'm pretty sure he must have had a hand in creating it to some extent. I'd be willing to concede that it could be classified as a "special" and not a regular episode being that it was a clip-show, but that isn't the claim being made.
