Zero Punctuation: Dead to Rights: Retribution

[Karloff]

Must admit, putting Rebecca together with Yahtzee feels a little like putting a Smurf with a pirahna . . . a hat floating on the water, a melancholy little blue stain beneath it, and that's the last we'll ever see of Yahtzee.

Thanks for the vid, I enjoyed it - I doubt I'd ever play the game anyway, but I agree with you that double (story) standards built into the game mechanics create a bad gaming experience.

"...where pain is God and Jack Slate is pope." -just awesome.

 

[AwesomeFerret]

To be honest, while I admire that Yahtzee is finally finding a chance to expand upon himself as a human being, this whole Yahtzee and Mayes thing could become a problem. If Yahtzee falls in love, he will lose all of his soul-less murderous contempt for any game which does not meet his standards and will promptly take a much nicer opinion of the world. And that funny shit is what we love about him!

 

[Postman667]

Truly "Pain is God and Jack Slate is Pope" is the best line ever!

Dead to Rights :Remarkable

 

[Deadlock Radium]

I've seen it four or five times and love this episode.

"They should change the name to something like Dead to Rights Remake or Dead to Rights Revisionism, let's just hope it doesn't end up Dead to Rights Retarded, that'd be Dead to Rights Regrettable."
Made my day.

isit jsut me or did this appear way early in the UK (3 pm)?

 

[Raykuza]

last week he knew this would be awful and avoided it... seriously he thought he'd do it this week? wow... just wow. he's lost it.

-shakes head at yahtzee- what's next weeks, going to just check see which game reviewed the absolute worst and review that...

you avoided this for nier, that says about as much as anything... yahtzee.. just stop reviewing. it's becoming as obvious the the Duke of Edinburgh when faced with an african.

you had alan wake, monster hunter, age of conan expansion, starcraft 2 beta, Sin and Punishment 2, Lost Planet 2 ... and you went for a game you took a shot at last week.

sigh.

Because he's funnier when he insults a bad game than when he praises a good one. And why would he review a beta? And wasn't Lost Planet 2 also poorly reviewed? I would like to see him review Monster Hunter Tri, though.

Yahtzee vs The Angry Video Game Nerd the ultimate showdown! Who would win?

Don't worry, love won't last very long, when Yahtzee reviews her song.

 

[mptothedc]

Your Buffalo Bill comment had me loling haha

 

[Canadamus Prime]

You do realize Yahtzee that Shadow's seeing through walls bit is an attempt to give you the feel of having access to Shadow's other senses (hearing, smell etc.) which are much more sensitive than a human's.

Great review like always.. keep up the good work can`t wait for the next one. cheers

 

[Deacon Cole]

I found this episode to be a better installment of late. I'm not certain why. The "Dead to Rights Re__" gag may have helped. It also may have helped that this games simply provided better material. In either case, good show and wot.

Pity Rebbecca wishes the lyrics suggestions to be posted to her facebook page as I refuse to sign up for facebook after signing up for all those other social networking sites only to have porn spammers on my friend lists. And I never talk to them, either.

So this will be like pissing in the ocean, no one will even taste it, but my suggestion is as follows:

Caustic wit that cannot be fake-ed
I wonder what he looks like naked

An awkward rhyme since it requires the word "faked" to be pronounced as two syllables. That hasn't been done for five hundred years outside of a Shakespeare production. This is why I'm not Bernie Taupin. That and the whole rich and gay thing.

Please. This *is* Yahtzee Croshaw we're talking about. The man who hates humanity. He'll probably sneer derisively, tell her she isn't on tune or on key and walk away, having reduced her to a sobbing, blubbering wreck- and then he'll spin back around and tell her he hates her, too. He'll say he hates her even worse because she's such a shitty singer and can't hold a tune in an extra-large bucket filled with Super Glue. And if the tune was a marble... of crap.

 

[LightspeedJack]

That game looks Dead To Rights: Retarded.

 

[FallenMessiah88]

...And this is why i have come to love my DS so very much.

Notice that he didn't actually say the game was bad.

Notice that he didn't say the game was good, either.
