Ugh, what was the point of this? If I wanted to see this again I'd just go back and watch it again. I had a small glimmer of hope when I saw the video length was 6 minutes and thought maybe there would be something interesting tacked onto the end of the review like Yahtzee sometimes does but no, it's some advertisements for the oh so racy movie "young people fucking" (the title probably sums up the whole movie, the experience is probably like being hit with a nerf bat while someone screams "I'm taking on a mature topic!!") and a trailer for video game theater, a podcast that takes wholesome video game characters and inserts them into unwholesome situations, because that premise is never ever unfunny.
Thats funny as hell. But I have to ask why repost something he already did almost a year ago? well its still funny I can see why it become one of the favs of the site
Yeah I was hoping we could get something like GDC or that Valve Travel Log.HighLucifer said:
Whatever, good luck/congratulations.
Why on earth would Yahtzee think that reposting old stuff was a clever thing to do? Chances are that he won his award through his originality and his unwillingness to let we fans down (except for that Valve trip fiasco - like anyone wanted to know how he did at Valve). Stuff like this is just a giant fuck you to the fans; just like the ads stuck on the end of his videos now. I mean, if they were paying for new Yahtzee vids then I'd be utterly fine with them, although clearly they're not. Yahtzee: don't let us down again.
Anybody ticked off that this week's ZP is a repeat can relax; apparently the Webbies award show was punishment enough [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25099109/]. (No mention of the Escapist directly in that article, alas.)

Sheesh - Firstly, everyone who's complaining that "This is old" - READ FIRST. You're posting with a ton of explanations as to what is going on, and you ignore them, and post "Isn't this old?!?!" - It's getting old.
To no new ZP, sure I'm miffed there isn't a new one, but so be it. Anyone who is upset needs to move on and realize no complaining or bitching will GET them a new one. Next week there'll be another one, he's been pretty darn consistent so far, so one week I can get over it.
Now - to HD vs SD. There is an OBVIOUS difference, BluRay is a ton clearer.
HOWEVER, these are all heavily zoomed in pictures, and none of us are sitting inches in front of a TV watching this stuff, unless you really WANT to go blind. I know for me, I sit about 8 feet from my TV, if I notice it that badly, I'd be quite shocked.
Not to say I won't get INTO the BluRay market, but hell - Most of the movies I watch are DivX quality, and I survive. /shrug

Ya know, I say he should "redo" the console rundown, this one is a little outdated. It would be interesting to see a "new take" on the consoles, now that the PS3 actually does have games and such.
No... no... NOOOOOO! What the... I... Wednesday :'( Wheres the new video. I feel lost. What... what should I do now, how can I wake up in the morning without a new episode to soothe my tense jittery hyperactive imagination... how will I find release now?! A hobby? But... Yahtzee? Maybe he'll know what to do.

Rather than join the ranks of the freshly banned by bitching about the lack of a new video, I will say this one is not my personal favorite. Partially because it's a bit dated since SUPER MARIO GALAXY has come out, both the Wii and PS3 have had time to beef up their libraries and the XBox360 has had time to sort out their gremlins problems. In other words, a new console rundown before too much longer would not be uncalledfor.
