They removed the song apparently, it won't play for me. Either way, that was a great video. It was great to have 3D getting the Yahtzee treatment. As for Mayes, the way I see it, I think Mayes is okay. Despite her trivial pop bullshit, her more experiment songs like Heavy Rain and in a certain case Mass Effect 2 are enjoyable to listen to, (even if Mass Effect 2 is a bit too fluffy). And compared to shit like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, she at least has some form of talent. But her other songs are too samey.
However, I don't think it was a good idea to include her song in the video. Most of the people that watch Yahtzee (Including myself) absolutely hate all things pop and adding in a pop song doesn't really help. But it succeeded what it set out to do: Make Mayes more popular which in turn gives her more views, which in turn, gives her more money.
You were all part of the experiment.

OT: I agree with Yahtzee, motion controls are a gimmick (I really hope), but I think the 3DS could be promising, due to it's power as a hand-held console.
Can't really say that its ANOTHER Kid Icarus considering how there has only been 1 game in the series as far as I know.JaredXE said:
Well, that was the funniest one in a while.
And it's good to have a clear idea of Yahtzee's take on motion control, rather than what just seemed to be general hate up until now.

I can't really bring myself to believe he went an entire video without insulting Nintendo, kudos to him?
I disagree with the idea of gaming branching out into mainstream audiences is a bad idea. That said, I get what he's saying about motion controls and 3D. I think Roger Ebert said that the problem with 3D is that it was only really good for action and children's fantasy films, and that it adds nothing to serious films. Motion controls are fun in their own way, but how could they improve something like Bioshock or Mass Effect?
Two technically. Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters came out on the Game Boy in 1991.Krion_Vark said:
Blegh, Rebecca Mayes. I was excited when I saw the episode was 8 min long, and then I was disappoint.
Also, yeah. E3 fucking sucked. It sucking fucked. It was badong. I'll be replaying a lot of old games this year. Or work through my enormous backlog. With my opposable thumbs.
Yahtzee really said it better than I ever could. Motion controls need to fuck off and die. I can't even be excited for the new Zelda, and I'm a huge Zelda fan. I just won't play it with anything other then a conventional input device. I am not going to stand up and flail my arms around like a twat. I laughed at the wasp-comment.
Please let this retarded gimmicky bullshit die in a fire as soon as possible.

sorry i love your videos are great but this one took it in a bad place it is just not funnny but fucked up and pointless. what i am saying is do it right or not at all
Wow. I never knew so many people had such difficulty in ignoring unwanted stuff. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Better yet, don't comment about it. It's kind of close to those people who love the PS3 games but cannot play Mass Effect, and so they comment on Mass Effect Youtube vids about how much it sucks.
As for Yahtzee, plenty of laughs. Though I have to admit I would've wanted him to comment on more of the third party games. I hope there's a part 2.

Am I the only person who's video is 5 mins long?

I thought Rebecca's song was OK, at first anyway, wasnt great, but it wasnt terrible... then it got the repetition... is it okay... is it okay... is it okay. Or whatever it was. Got crap really fast after that. She isnt actually bad at what she does, I dont like it but I can understand why someone might, but her method seems pretty lazy.
*shrugs*
Would of liked more Yahtzee, I must admit.

uhh I don't really care about Firsters much. when I was like 11 I just started going on to the regularly I saw a firster and thought it was something competed for on the the internet,to Know you were the first one to find that video, but i realize it didn't matter because being the first to find something doesn't make you good but firster haters are far more annoying because they waste their bloody time thinking witty insults and setting up policies to ban them and such when all the firster are doing is saying "I got here first". I fear that I will start to be even more annoying still. How many layers of wasted time must there beKungfu_Teddybear said:
