No he hasn't. Its hard for him to come up with ideas for a rant on games when dibshit fans spam him and he has to make an episode every week. Also germany isn't that big, second there has been like a million of these polls, and third he is only using it to make money, in an interview yahtzee would much rather make games that review them. If you all think he is losing his edge stop watching it. Zp is what brought me to the escapist and its why I'm staying here.Kanashe said:
Your watching the same format over and over again, of course its going to stop be funny eventually. Its like watching 40 romantic comedies in a row, you know what going to happen, but its whats in the middle that slightly changes (worst analogy evar?)
The freshness is gone. It's still funny most of the time, if less shocking. If you don't like it then don't watch it. Ideally, I'd like to see Yahtzee, although not outright abandon his little show, move on to more substantive writing. I'm not familiar with the rest of his work, but being snarky only works so long and I'd like to see him contribute something to gaming beyond a bunch of insults and metaphors for feces.
If I'm lucky, the fad will end and The Escapist will slow down a little bit. I'm tired of the lack of community on this site - it's one of the only places I've been where people with hundreds or even thousands of posts are still more or less unknown. Less traffic means a steadier user base.

Make games? I woulden't trust that bastard with a fucking FLASH program, rather than game makeing. Not only he fails at 'reviweing' games, he fails at 'makeing' 'em. Yes, his game sucks balls on all major levels of suckage. Also the reason people still watch it is to see if Yahtzee will stop being a hack and will again become funny, and seems it's not gonna happen any time soon. And if he doesn't wanna have so called 'diptshits' spamming him, how bout he..Oooh, I don't know...Stops giving his fucking email adress, hmmm? Or change it? Didn't he ever think of that?Patrick_and_the_ricks said:
I love watching it but he MUST MIX IT UP ONCE IN A WHILE. maybe do an entire episode upside down
I still find Mr. Croshaw to be funny. And I imagine that if he continues to evolve as an artist, his writing will as well. Besides, he's the only thing that made Game Damage amusing, inciteful, and interesting.
Oddly, it's the really "edged" reviews that I don't like as much. I think he's as funny as ever. Halo Wars was just as funny as, say, Sim City Societies (another of my favorites). Some may be funnier than others, but there's only one review I actually disliked (Madworld, and not for humor-related reasons).
