At first I was a bit bummed out that Just Cause 2 and Mafia 2 weren't mentioned, but then I realised that there isn't really much that can be said to make those games look BAD, so fair enough then.
"Oh sorry, I didn't see you Nintendo with all that casual seamen crust on your face" lol that was a good stab at Nintendo especially when they bloody well deserve it! Alot of funny stuff in this one, and I reckon the hook shot will come first. 
wow, silent hill, really?
i thought for sure he wouldnt mention it because its a silent hill game made by americans and on the wii, and its more silent hill than silent hill ever was.
kudos for not being being a douche again, yahtzee, though im sure you will never play the game, for fear of having fun on your wii.

Yahtzee's not even trying anymore, he just bitches left and right about anything these days.
E3 was great this year, well maybe not for some limited taste action jock player who hates Nintendo, JRPGs, innovation, sequels and anything else that doesn't involve Valve.

I think that strangled noise should either become the new closing theme, or the official sounds of the ZP imps.
Hmm...Yahtzee seems to have a case of the Murlocks.
Haha, I love the false enthusiasm he used whenever he proclaimed a game's title before heartlessly tearing it apart in the next second.
Agree on all counts on the comments about all the franchises that have long outsayed their welcome and the petty "one-ups-manship" going on.

While I don't see how a lot of those comments at the end were even bashing the games, (ACII not set in space? So what, it can still be great) I have to say, this ZP was hilarious. I stopped leaving comments quite a long time ago because I couldn't find the humor, but this week was simply awesome.
I noticed that the only thing Yahtzee mentioned about the 360 was the new motion capture thing. Does this mean that he enjoyed the 360 part of E3, and is a firm believer in is as the one system to rule them all? I half expected him to jump all over the fact that L4D2 is coming out exactly 1 year after the first one, saying something like, "oh, couldn't get all your ideas to fit into one game so your are just gonna charge us for a new game that could easily be done with FREE downloaded patches?!?" (I personally don't mind the fact that L4D2 is coming out so soon. I enjoyed it, and I know that I will enjoy the next one as well.)
This was the most lazy Zero Punctuation I could imagine. I may not watch anymore. It's sad too because I like the Escapist.the_importer said:
Ah.. good ol' Yahtzee. I was starting to think I was the only one who wasn't looking forward to anything besides starcraft 2.
so i gotta say, this feels rather phoned in. I'd say if you can't get good material out of whatever you're talking about, don't bother. I'd much rather here one joke about how "E3 was so shitty I won't even talk about it" than see a vaudeville version of ZP
