It's Christmas, let the guy have a week off. I'm sure you'll all survive one week without him.

Maybe someone killed him after taking one of his many remarks to seriously.

...

Though seriously he took a holiday most likely.

...I don't see why this is even an issue. It's Christmas, Yahtzee puts out a video every week around the year because he wants to, so there's no reason why he shouldn't be allowed to take one week off.

Lastly, please don't say things like, "calm down," "breathe deep," and "find something else to do," that's just infantile. No one is going apoplectic over there not being a 0P this week, nor is anyone without something to do for the entire day, so don't be patronizing. Makes my fur stand on end, and necessitates long ranty responses like this one.
No one is going apoplectic?

You're the one ranting and raving, seemingly implying that he's betrayed his fanbase because he took a week off. Oh, and he had the audacity to not tell everyone! How dare somebody have a week off at Christmas time, it's just unthinkable.

You know, if I noticed that there was no ZP around Christmas, I'd chalk it up to "Oh, he's having some time off at Christmas, that's cool, I can wait."

I wouldn't rant and get worked up because I'd have to go without one of my weekly 5 minute videos. Also, just because someone else (MovieBob) doesn't take a week off, doesn't mean Yahtzee has to update this week as well.

I kinda think you getting this worked up over him not telling you he's taking a week off is the infantile thing here.

OT: Let him have a week off, guys, he more than deserves one. And seriously, it's Christmas. Who didn't see this coming?

Apparently, as per usual, nobody listens.

You can take Christmas off. You can take New Years' off. You can take Easter off, you can take ITLAP off...hell, you can just take a week off.

That does not necessitate a non-release of content. You can work lightly all year long to have some emergency-type episodes ready to go for any reason. There's no reason to not do it, especially without warning, unless you are trying to make a statement.

You say he deserves a week off, and I am not arguing that in principle; it just doesn't have to mean that there is no Zero Punctuation this week.

I bet the people taking orders for all his licensed merchandise sold on Escapist didn't take a single day off...if you're making money on Christmas Day, you should have a video up Christmas Week.

Maybe he just got lost navigating this site to try and upload zp. Took me enough time to load this thread up....still.
