He is “the man” as it were, but clearly NSFW.
I just saw his Ghostbusters review a few days ago and it seemed to contradict other reviews, but at least he’s honest about everything.

Thread renamed for the unprepared.

(Sweet hat, though.)

loved his review of the sims 3; so true, so very true…

I loved the Duke Nuekm Forever video, it was pure genius!

#6

Very funny. I’m definitely going to try to include the phrase “when the shit hits the hyperdrive” into my daily dialog.

#7

The only game I have seen him ever go completely crazy for was The Orange Box.

Yahtzee’s hilarious. He cracks me up every time. He has a tenth-degree black belt in the art of snark.

Honestly, though, it’s his job to be critical of every game he plays, but I’ve always thought that he does it pretty fairly. He never says anything about a game that isn’t true; I’ve listened to his reviews of games that I myself have played and loved (like Mass Effect 2 and Fallout 3) and heard a particular gripe and been able to say, “Yeah, he’s right about that.”

Usually it’s not something that I really paid that much attention to because it didn’t bother me; he just happens to be one of those really observant people who notices everything and is really nit-picky about it (which is actually a good thing for his job). But he does it in such a creative and entertaining way that it makes you think about what he’s saying rather than just get pissed off about it.

I catch each new episode as it’s released, always entertaining.

I’m not sure I’d call them mock reviews, but he does do a lot of mocking, especially of cover-based shooters.

I’m a fan. I especially like
