Zero Punctuation + Wikipedia

[samonix]

Watch a few Zero Punctuations, which I'm sure you're doing anyway as that's the only reason people visit this site, then open up a Wikipedia page on any game you like and read.

Try, as best as you can, to not be reading it in Yahtzee's voice. It's a perculiar phenomenon and I just found myself laughing at the description for Driver, thinking it packed full of witty cynisism and sarcastic overtones.

Try it and see for yourself. Or maybe I'm just insane.

Um...........I don't think I will, if it's all the same to you.

And by the way, I didn't come here for ZP, so it obviously isn't the only reason.

I didn't come here for ZP...

I don't even LIKE ZP that much, he's a comedian not a game reviewer >_>

So on that chip chip chereo.

 

[Icecoldcynic]

I'm pretty sure plenty of people come to this site for reasons other than ZP. I originally FOUND the site due to it, sure, but now I come here for a lot more reasons.

 

[comadorcrack]

I ahve a similar experience when Im writing reviews.

 

[Pyotr Romanov]

he's a comedian not a game reviewer >_>

Is that bad? I think we need someone who makes good jokes about bad games.
...
...
Or bad jokes about good games, ofcourse.

OT: Hmm... I should try that once.
And yes, I originally came here for ZP, but I watch some other stuff too, and some of the people on these forums are damn brilliant.

Same here. I came here because my friend was always talking about ZP but then I discovered "There Will Be Brawl" and "Escape to the Movies with Movie Bob" and I've been coming back for more ever since.

 

[Jammerz]

Ok a lot of people came to The Escapist for Yahtzee but stayed for the forums and all the other quality videos and because The Escapist has a forum full of sane people compared to other forums

I Never said it was bad, nor good.

 

[Lemon Of Life]

Meh, there's more to this site than Yahtzee, though I do enjoy his 'reviews'.

 

[SageRuffin]

I discovered this site through ZP, which I found out through G4. But after reading the news and the articles, and the hilarious reviews, I'll take this site over, say, GameSpot any day.

Also, after doing a few online classes, Wikipedia is one of if not the last place I go to for information about a game.

 

[rokkolpo]

can't say i had that happening.

No, but it looked a little negative.
Nobody said he was a game reviewer either, by the way.
Not in this topic, anyway...

 

[maddawg IAJI]

I'll pass. Please read the forum rules before posting, the forum dosen't tend to treat Yatzhee threads nicely.

 

[CrashertheSmasher]

actually i came here because of Unforgotten Realms

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

I generally hear wikipedia read in the voice of Ben Stein or maybe William Shatner. Both are amusing.

[sub]Oh how I love Yahtzee fanboys...[/sub]

He obviously watches There Will be Brawl.


I don't see why he's a Yahtzee fanboy anyway. So he watches Yahtzee and finds he can't read about a game Yahtzee reviewed not in his own voice.


Sure its weird, but its him.

If you watch enough ZP videos in a row, any text in English will start sounding like that in your head.
At least if English is not your first language.
Believe me, at this very moment I read my own reply and it sounds the same. It does get annoying.
