This might have gone into the gaming thread, but I think he's deserving of his own.

I'm sure some of you are familiar with the smart-mouthed British video game reviewer, Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, and his fast-paced, absolutely hilarious off-colour reviews over at the Escapist (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation)

If not, check it out. And remember that I was the one who told you about him!

If so, this can be the place where it's discussed. And also his games, which are also good. And rather well-written for something he did almost entirely on his own.



(Heh, it occurs to me that I just lost my thread-starter virginity. Go me...)

Haha! This is genius!

Isn't it just!

I love Yahtzee!!!
Have you seen his first 'pilot' show? It was hilarious. We tune in regularly, weds night after work! ;)

Fav show?

I watch the resident evil one at work and got caught, because I was laughing so hard - tears and everything - very embarrassing.

Although (I'm sure that you read the little comments at the end) what are your feelings towards the criticism he's been getting for being too 'formulaic'? - Personally, I wouldn't change a thing, but I do find that I'm not as tickled as I used to be. Still very entertaining though.

On one of his reviews he said "Yes, it's all your fault, especially yours ADRIAN" and my name's Adrian so I automatically freak out and then he said "Your name probably isn't Adrian but it was worth if just to f*** with all the Adrians in the world." It was hilarious.

Haha! I've just watched that one :p

It might be a little formulaic, but most comedy is to a certain degree. Besides, it's a new game every week, so it could never get completely dry and predictable. There's always room for a funny take on an upcoming game you're considering.
And he always seems to hit the nail on the head, most of the time.

That said, the penis/wanking/gay jokes are wearing a bit thin, methinks :p
