Zero Punctuation: Washington DC

[Volafortis]

I was kind of hoping for a Borderlands review.

Well, Mr. Croshaw. This is the first time ever, and i mean EVER you´ve disapointed me. Hell, i would´ve freaking had a clip show instead of that. It saddens me to say this, since i love Zero Punctuation. This video was nothing but pure, good ol´fashion CRAP. I hope the next episode doesn´t turn out like this.

be quiet child

get a life, watch something else, go outside for a change!

Mans allowed to take a holiday every once in a while

That's rich. A guy with the name "Tits McGee" telling someone else to get a life. Lol'd

This episode was, as Yahtzee says, pure shite. It was bad, boring, and terribly unfunny. I'm sorry, Yahtzee being an ignorant tourist isn't funny. And If I may say so, that hat looks much cooler on stick-figure-Yahtzee than real-life-Yahtzee.

Tbqh, stick-figure-Yahtzee looks much cooler on the whole than actual-Yahtzee

You know somebody may have said this, but it begs repeating; there is a 13-16 hour difference between DC and Australia. They were all probably feeling like the walking dead when they shot this.

 

[jak1165]

Nobody made him shoot this horrid piece of crap.

He works hard. I understand that. He deserves a break every now and again. If he wanted to play tourist, it was well within his right to do so. Or, like someone said, Do a Critique of D.C. in his style of game review. Or even do a video version of Extra Punctuation. Sort of like a Family-Guy-esque "Grinds my Gears sort of rant". Hearing Yahtzee rant about stupidity in every day life might have been hilarious. Watching him play tourist was not

.....(?) Well, i suppose Yahzee won't be winning any awards for stand-up comedy any time sonn.(no pun intended, what w/ the cock jokes etc.)
He should stick to his well written wittisisms in my opinion.

btw his accent is definately devoid of englishness now, soon he'll be verbally Australian through and through (Noooooo!)

 

[Stabby McRunfast]

The JFK assassination took place in Texas...

Anyway, it would have been nice to know that Yahtzee was going to be in D.C. because I live there. I would have given him the grand tour...actually D.C. is pretty boring. Nothing much to do around here. *sigh*

 

[Howlingwolf214]

I don't see why people are getting annoyed. It looked like it was either this or no ZP at all. And I know which one i'd prefer.

It was pretty funny. The Jerk-off bit was a lol.

 

[notachick]

Wow that was bad. Like extremely, uncharacteristically horrible. Was there a deadline? Was this actually required? Was I the only one who got the impression that the F*** YOU at the beginning was referring more to Escapist staff schedule nazis (I have no idea if these exist but would presume they do) than to fans?

Maybe I am being too optimistic?

I quite enjoyed this video for a multitude of reasons. Ben has his rather grandiloquent, misanthropic, crude and arguably funny persona, but then he has a more sensible, quiet and shy side which plays beatuifully with his self-parody and his willingness to make jokes at his own expense. Every so often you will see glimpses of this other side in Zero Punctuation, but it wasn't until this video that it was displayed so prominently.

I've no doub that some of it comes down to shyness or insecurity, but I do feel that Ben chose to act the way he did in this video because he wanted it to be a humourous contrast to the way he acts in ZP, which it is. Watching this video really made me smile, filling me with this strange sense of warmpth?it was just nice to see him make something so laid back, just a group of chaps on an enjoyable road trip acting silly.

Perhaps I'm wrong, or perhaps not. Whatever the case, I really enjoy this for reasons I've shared and more. He really does seem like a great fellow.

 

[picklejuice]

Oh wow, Ben. This was simply amazing. You are now instantly and permanently my favorite person.

*wears a green jacket*

*looks at yahtzee and goes "eyuuugh"*

You need to experience the true America.

Find the nearest Sonic Drive-In or Cracker Barrel and go there.

That's about as "real america" as Swiss cheese. Go to the nearest ghetto scene and make random hand signs. That's real America for you.

"ghetto scene" only make up a small percentage of the country.

Not where I live. There are a lot more people packed into or near urban ghettos than there are people living in the manner Cracker Barrel or Sonic would have you believe.

But you're right. If you want real America, just go to any McDonalds in any country and swallow some of the same bland, unhealthy fried shit we eat here. We keep exporting our monoculture anyway. You can get the "real" America almost anywhere in the world.

The Hills

Head for Them

No, they have eyes.

 

[jimbo_too]

Yahtzee has always been an arrogant, overweening ****.

That's what I usually like about him, but this was shit. I'm still not complaining, because hey - it's free, but howsabout a review next week Yahztee?

Oh, and don't look into my eyes when I'm wanking, please. You put me off at the vinegar strokes.

 

[Stabby Joe]

Well that was... different. Can hardly complain though, can't work all the time.

 

[Phantom_Natal]

Thanks for the city tour.
Oh and, I just noticed, yahtzee is very similar to an ex-teacher here, a crazy australian.

 

[Denamic]

I'm starting to wonder... Isn't Yahtzee reminded of penises by pretty much anything?

 

[Jin-Roh]

Is it just me, or did Ben's accent sound different to usual?

He cant talk in to a microphone headset, as normal, so it is more like hearing him form a distance because the microphone zeppelin is not the best at getting his voice.

 

[NicotineStainedSoul]

i want the last 7 minutes of my life back, this was so dull...

 

[Necromas]

Yahtzee should do a joint review with the Nostalgia Critic sometime.

 

[Skooterz]

Lol, why did you bleep "fuck" in the beginning there?
