escapistmagazine.com —It's Wednesday, meaning it's Yahtzee day. "This week on Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee goes underground with the Umbrella Corporation."
For those of you who don't visit fullyramblomatic.com, here's a hilarious post Yahtzee did recently:
I like playing Team Fortress 2. It's fun. And if you hang around a server that gets a decent low ping in eastern Australia, there's a chance I may some day join a server that you are on. Should that happen, remember to follow these guidelines:
- Always interrogate me the moment I have one foot in the door as to whether I'm 'the real Yahtzee' or not. Insist I go on voice chat to prove my identity while the enemy busily penetrate our defenses. This will swiftly endear you to me.
- Once my identity is confirmed to your satisfaction, or not, spend the entire game quoting myself at me in all caps in both text and voice chat. It's very gratifying to be reminded that my reviews are very popular and that some of my lines have entered meme territory, and being constantly reminded of this will help my confidence and improve our chances of winning.
- Don't be fooled by my stony silence up to this point - secretly, I'm probably on the verge of inviting you to my next birthday party. Ensure that this happens by adding me to your friends list and trying to open Steam chat with me while I'm in the middle of something important. Obviously since I have total misanthropic hatred for 99% of my fellow man, it's important that I communicate with as many of them as possible to remind myself of why.
- Relish verbally every single time you kill me, because obviously being a gaming industry professional I am some kind of higher order of being, and besting me in a game of skill is a sure sign that you have a valid claim to all the thrones of Europe.
- Remember to get catty when I unexpectedly log off. I'm probably just overwhelmed to the point of tears by the wonderful friends I have made.
Does anyone actually use these reviews? They all seem to come months later, ya i know about the aussie release dates. But seriously by the time you wait for his review and get the game, most people are into something else, unless its COD4 or H3.
what was the game title he showed when talking about the "EA Strategy." it kind of looked like "black" but, that doesn't seem right. and can everyone PLEASE STOP QUOTING YAHTZEE??? the dood is gonna go the way of dave chappelle if this keeps us -- where he will likely just stop reviewing games altogether because of his overwhelming popularity and the ridiculous idiotic characteristics that is his audience.
