Didn't he make the Trilby games? They were awesome.

Upon arriving the attending doctor could find no abnormal physical symptoms other than extremely dilated pupils. After spending several hours terrified that his body had been possessed by a demon, that his next door neighbor was a witch, and that his furniture was threatening him, Dr. Hofmann feared he had become completely insane.

Your topic title should be more along the lines of "Ever Heard of Zero Punctuation?" or "Ever Heard of Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw" at best...

So basically...
You're going to be writing about what you think of films and movies without using any forms of punctuation or...
Is there something I've missed here?

There are a lot of people who already review movies in a manner far from formal so you aren't really being original in that sense (Roman's done it a few times here already)...
But hey, I haven't seen your work yet so I'll check out your Transformers review when it's up and give more feedback then.

I used to be a fan before he got full of himself and started making video rants.

Yeah, his rants are annoying but the trilby games were absolutely wicked.

I didn't like him till he got full of him self. Made him seem like a jackass and made me actually laugh at what he had to say about game releases (that are usually weeks old and I have formulated my own opinion).

yeah i like to watch his videos sometimes because he hates everything and i like to think someone out there actually listens to him and says "he's right. this game sucks."

Long before he every did zero punctuation he ran a site called fully ramblomatic and before that I even knew him from the AGS community where he made games. He was around long before he did video rants and a lot of people actually respected him for the good games he made rather than making shitty little arrogant videos. So yeah, before you start stomping throats...

now is the winter of our discontent

I liked him more before the ZP videos, but I still am kind of a fan. I wish he would go back to making games though, as I really liked Rob Blanc, Odysseus Kent and some of the Trilby games as well as his articles on Fully Ramblomatic which have just turned into "hey... I made a new video, but you should know that because it's wednesday"

I was hoping he would make another funny game but then he had the nerve to get famous.

1. This is not a "I hate Ben Yahtzee thread"

2. The next review is up! (I won't update here every week, just remember that it will be [more ][/more] every Monday.

3. This thread is not for "you're review of [Some ][/Some] stinks" or "Please, review [some ][/some]". However, this is not for me to avoid negativity. If you think "you're review was great" don't tell me that here. Say it on the review.

4. This thread is for the discussion of my reviews in general. "Overall, you need some work." or "You're reviews have gone down hill since..."

The second the guy next to me in my Film class was wearing a Zero Punctuation shirt, I remembered why I haven't watched Zero Punctuation for a while. It got a tad shit.

Edit: Sorry Crim, I got a bit into that. Nevermind me. Despite that, the concept seems good, at the least.
