Zero Punctuation: Tales of Monkey Island

[ninja steve]

"IT could have saved me time that I could have used to beat my wife" So true!

I can't believe that Yahtzee doesn't like whiskey! Whiskey is one of my favorite alcoholic drinks. Maybe that's just because I'm American.

personely i like rum but im from queensland

As an Irish person I was completely unoffended by the Irish accent and thought it was fucking funny.

 

[anti-hero_will]

man that game was too... the word smart for me man needed to think for that shit thats not my thing man. like you said way bad,
like a drummer thats required to think, its totaly true i dont just just say what comes out man dont think about that stuff go with it
but that game needed you to think man was totaly confuseing

Good review, but am I the only one who thinks that Irish accent was just terrible? xD

Seeing as Yahtzee himself admitted how terrible it was, it's safe to say that you aren't.

OT: This review convinced me to purchase Monkey Island sometime soon. Is this wrong?

Irish laddie here. You sound like my "Trying too hard to be Irish"- Americans-of-irish-decent who live in town.

Lovely review.

Extra XP was gained by the mention of Deluxe Paint.

Nice work.

 

[Yubadias]

Nice accent. Reminds me of your hilarious South African Accent.

 

[RathWolf]

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but, did Yahtzee not realize there were two Monkey Island games released after MI2 before these new ones starting coming out?

I registered to write this.

I enjoy your stuff ZP, but the oirish wife beating protestant killing thing you came out with this week was dire, unoriginal and quite frankly offensive.

This sectarian steryotyped drivel you spewed today owed more to you stealing crap ideas from things like family guy and the shite 'leprechaun' movies than anything even approaching wit or orignal humour which you are supposed to be renowned for.

I could lecture you on this but i won't.

To be honest im just disapointed, your a funny, witty and original guy but this week for some reason you just decided to give yourself a brain fart and rely on the lowest common demoninator type of humour to piss away this weeks review.

Any genuine Irish people who has vindicated or made excuses for this particular review quite frankly deserves a bloody slap.

I'll be back next week to see your next review, and like 99% of the rest of your stuff im sure i'll enjoy it, but seriously... and i mean this criticism in the most constructive way possible, your good enough not to need to rely on cliche'd steryotyped shite to get the message across.

After looking at this review all i can honestly say is 'Your better than this'

 

[ZippyDSMlee]

Kinda weak review.. it didn't really sound like his heart was in it...I hope wolfenstien rev's up the hate ^^

keep reviewing all these minor XBLA games.

It's a PC game. And a Wii game. Well, more a cruel taunting joke to the Wii, trying to play it on the Wii is akin to playing Half Life 2 on a laptop, technically it's going to work, but you won't enjoy it and the experience will be forever ruined for you.

Until you own basically any laptop that has a 500 dollar price point or higher in which case you'll be playing HL2 at full specs.

I was astounded at the fact that HL2 can run on my laptop in its full sexy glory.

At any rate I loved the review and I thought the accent and domestic abuse jokes were hilarious (but when aren't they).

Rofl, how can you even be arsed to get offended by his comical interpretation of the irish? Oh boo-hoo, morals morals, guilt-trip, you're better than this.

Sod off, you fairies.

 

[Giftmacher]

Wow that Irish accent was terrible, I love how Yahtzee kept lapsing into his English accent it was genius. I look forward to more offensive and terrible impressions in future reviews. With luck he'll cycle through national stereotypes for maximum hilarity.

Gift.

PS I can't believe how many people rose to the bait!

 

[maximara]

To be fair to the makers of "Tales of Monkey Island" it should be mentioned "Monkey Island II" was NOT the end. In fact it had two sequels: "The Curse of Monkey Island" (1997) and "Escape from Monkey Island" (2000). So they had written an out from the ending of "Monkey Island II" in "The Curse of Monkey Island".
