Personally, I thought this was pretty funny. As for the people who think he's been doing too many gimmicks lately (limericks, Irish accent, etc.), I think he's just bored. The games have been a boring festival of mediocrity lately, not bad enough to merit a Jericho-style bile eruption, but not good enough to warrant a positive review. With so many of that sort of game coming out, I'd be mixing things up purely for my own entertainment.
Regardless, well done YZ.
