Ok, how did so many of you learn to type on a forum but are still incapable of reading? They actually did bother to explain the situation in the text of the original post AND on the video site. They're at the Webby Awards. It's a simple sentence right there... you've got to be kidding me.
That video is outdated, but it's still funny, and except for the broader spectrum of games available it's still mostly true.
And to the poster above me... jealousy makes an ugly pantsuit, mate

As I said earlier he is probably playing Guns of the Patriots, and next week we will have this marvelous review of it.
Okay you really can see a difference between Blu-Ray and standard dvd? Look in the backround of the King Kong screen shot, notice on the right how the back round and kong himself are blurry yet on the left its magically crystal clear? And even this is a horrible example as King Kong was one of the first titles released.Dexter111 said:

I'm not pissed that there is no ZP - Well I am, but I'm not gonna ***** - I'm just pissed as well as confused that they've given us this video. I'm not sure if they're trying to fool us but I can't see why else they would put this video up as the latest one.UpInSmoke said:
Yes I do prefer Yahtzee take his time to play the games he shall review; and as much as I want him to stay funny while trashing the hell out of the games he plays, I really whant to see (or hear) him say positive and insightfull things too (the jokes can be on the positive too, not only the negatives), that way things will be more clear in terms of how he REALLY views the games. I say this because I'm starting to get the sense that his reviews are more of a fan pleasing affair lately.
yes, damn these demoniacally evil (the)Escapist henchmen who, after being rewarded something as pathetic as a prestigious award, seizes the opportunity to throw their arms in the air and perhaps even congratulate themselves a little over their achievement.
Truly, their only reason for doing this would be to attempt to skip out of the services they owe us AS IS ORDAINED BY THE LAW and, not an entirely justified self-promotion riding on the back on the award they have won.
NO, wait. It must be that they are trying to fool us into thinking we have received the service they owe us by posting, under cover of night and mist, an episode of Zero Punctuation which was indeed, and this may shock some of you, not an entirely new episode.
The text that states in plain and obvious words that the video is indeed a repost chosen because they rather liked and are a little too busy being showered with rewards and hookers to put up a new one, could only be a meaningless illustration of the webpage, not to be read or taken into account AT ALL.
So it must be. For the Escapist staff could not possibly have anything in their life but service to us glorious consumers, and betrayal to fuel their fiendish plans.

Congrats to YZ and all of you fun folk at the Escapist on your Webby's.
At first I was miffed because X-Play didn't show a ZP preview last evening, and I had to suffer through more of Morgan Webb pretending she's funnier than a three-legged dog trying to cross the road before getting creamed by an oncoming garbage truck. Then I came here and realized there was no preview because the folks from the Escapist are too busy being awesome. Or at least thanking us, the somewhat oblivious (and, in my case, bloated and gun-toting) consumer, for considering them to be awesome.
By why Console Rundown? If I were list my top 3 favourite ZPs, Console Rundown would not make the list. Why not Tomb Raider Anniversary [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/22-The-Witcher]? All of these are at least a few months in the past, and are of much better quality than Console Rundown, which feels like YZ's faceless Escapist masters gave to him as a filler assignment while they waited for a game worth reviewing to be released in Australia. But at least we can find these gems and other treasures I've mentioned just by clicking our mice a couple more times. Unless, like me, you are American and therefore lazy unless a cheeseburger or the promise of boobies is being dangled within your cone of vision.
EDIT: I have included links to the aforementioned better installments of ZP to make things even easier for my fellow Americans as they reach for their carbonated high-calorie soft drinks. I also included a reference to tits, because that's comedic, and apparently more acceptable in America than bloody violence, if the difference in trailers for the film adaptation of Wanted in Russia [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4pWuFv48Zk] are to be believed.

Self-righteous morons to the left of them, self-righteous morons to the right of them, self-righteous morons to the front of them, volleyed, and flame-warred!
Good lord, it seems everyone has to be a melodramatic, faux-sarcastic arse lately. Either jumping to the immediate protection, or act like a general ass-hat. Yes, it's true that the Escapist doesn't have to provide us anything. I honestly think most of us would just say "Oh well, that's a bit disappointing" if they'd just said "Sorry, we're at the Webbys, can't make one this week". The objection is simple:
RERUNS!?
I honestly cannot fathom the so-called logic that led to them honest-to-god thinking that they should suggest a rerun to us. On the internet. It has to be a joke. And then, to top it off, completing the circle of turning the media back into from whence it came, they chuck on an advert almost doubling the length of the video. Amending adverts onto the end or beginning, loading separately, I can understand, and don't really mind. I can even understand those flocking bustard pop-ups inside the video, annoying as they may be. Splicing in an advert in what I can only presume is an attempt to convince people to watch the video again for an amendment is just... moronic.
And for what it's worth, I don't give five bloody tosses about Young People Fucking, the fantastic film showing only in freaking America!
I mean, good God, this is simple stuff. If we wanted a re-run, we'd click on the fecking link. Welcome, people, to the freaking internet!
In any case, can't wait for next week's.

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.
Then I got linked back to a video I could have seen any day of the week.
Now I'm sad
Seriously Ben, you're gonna have a porch full of milk if you don't actually let people know you're not coming to work for a week.

I honestly thought this was a joke...
Well that was a dissapointment as Yahtzee had already done this exact video ages ago.
It is understandable though as they r off accepting their reward but u think they wud have just not done a video.
