[RussDCA]

Ok, already done this one but it does make me wanna raise a hand & say, lets have an update! Or maybe not.

FuZion.

oh, well then i appoligize; the only main public forum i post in its "quit fucking turtling". yay for the internet abbreviations?

qft. ;D

It's my birthday today! Too bad no new video from Yahtzee on 11/06...

WETF RERUNS./?1/?1/1/!/1/!1

My world just collapsed. I will go and commit suicide in the corner now, right after I finish this post...

/sarcasm

Seriously, though. I was a tad disappointed of course, but it's always nice to watch the classics again =D

Not realy considering turtling when i was suggesting an alternative and also trying to enlighten anyone who may not know about his prior two reviews before coming on the escapist. Maybe you should Quit Fucking Posting when you have nothing to say.

If you'd actually cared you could have posted the links instead, so for anyone who still hasn't seen em:
The Darkness (Demo): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWS9_nrKOPA
Fable: The Lost Chapters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYQLR7dE5k4
Introduction to Zero Punctuation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOBTN67K0Zw

Respectfully, i was just putting forth the idea that they could of used one of those as the video for this week instead of a repeat. Technically those would of been new to the escapist's lineup; no real work would of had to be done by Yahtzee. I'm sure that not everyone knows about them, and I assumed anyone who read that post that hadn't seen them would of gone in search for them on youtube of their own adventure.

edit: on a sidenote i would really like to see an updated "Console Rundown", it has been almost a year and the industry has grown enough to merit one imo.

There's no new video this week...and life goes on people. Really. Anyway, why are there these annoying ads tacked onto the end of every video?

 

[mGoLos]

Reruns on the internet?

Just a little bit pretentious maybe?

 

[Hypersapien]

Soo.. Yahtzee's doing reruns now?

 

[MattClassic]

Reruns don't bother me. Maybe it's because I haven't watched TV in about a year and a half...

 

[Stammer]

Additionaly, since I play Horde and not Alliance, I tend to think turtling is for cowards and stupids.

...AUGH!! World of Warcrap reference! *holds his fingers like a cross to ward off the evil game*

...AUGH!! Reruns!

Nah, but I'm glad Yahtzee got to go to this thing. I just don't understand why he didn't make one earlier and post it when he had the time. How long could it take to make one of his little video things? It only takes the Brothers Chaps something like one night to do an entire Strong Bad Email. Oh well.

reruns?

Since a great many people are overlooking the text next to the video, and also copied into the thread at various points/pages (including post numero uno), and then inquiring about the "madness", here it is again, brought to you at great effort and expense:

This week we're all (including Yahtzee) in New York to accept our Webby awards. We'll be back next week with a new Zero Punctuation, but for now, have another look at this encore presentation of one of our favorite episodes, Yahtzee's review of the console war. Cheers, and thanks again to everyone who voted for us.

As for why the "madness" (rerun) this week, I suspect that since travelling from Yahtzeeland to NYC can sometimes involve time travel, "preparations" had to be made - "preparations" that could have affected the quality of this week's finished product to below what the distinguished and sophisticated fanbase has come to expect.

@paulgruberman:

The point of my initial post was not to talk about the "madness" but it's particular flavor. I simply don't see Console Rundown as one of my favorites.

I really don't see the point in this video been shown again. If i want to watch it again (which i sometimes do) i just search the videos for it. Oh well, congratulations on the award anyway.

I'm sure the idea was to keep all the "where the F is ZP?!?!" complaints localized in one place.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Personally, after the unadulterated crap like Kung Fu Grip and Video Game Theatre, I was really looking forward to my weekly bile fest from Yahtzee.

The new episode of Unforgotten Realms [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/unforgotten-realms/49-Episode-One-The-Remaking-of-Heroes] will be up tomorrow, and it's very good (I got an early look). So you can end the week on a high note.

But I'm at work tomorrow But ta Virgil, we don't mind waiting if we know there's something good coming.

An oldy but a goody.

True, I guesss it would keep many people quiet. It is afterall a pretty good episode, very true.

Was more in response to another influx of "WTF reruns?" posts (not including the ones marked as sarcasm).

Console Rundown isn't one of my favorites, either. Clive Barker's Clive Barker's Jericho by Clive Barker would probably get my vote for favorite, if pressed to choose. I'm sure Console Rundown has plenty of fans, as well.
