Zero Punctuation

This man is hardcore genius, he will make you laugh then cuss him out. The man I'm referring to is Yahtzee Croshaw. Yahtzee is a British-born, currently Australian-based writer and gamer.

He is also a madman who reviews games while drawing you little illustrations to help you visualize.

Doesn't sound that thrilling, does it?

First of all let me tell you this guy talks a mile per SECOND. And no, this isn't as annoying as you might think. He's quite easy to understand, and he's the only person I've heard use the phrase 'errant turds' and 'c**t gargling'.

And the animations... they usually include pill-like people running around with Yahtzee's avatar has a fecking spiffy hat. These thing will make you crack up. It's hard to point out one out of many...

Okee, here's an example, people with party hats 'twatting' each other with sticks, Yahtzee caving in someone's mouth with a pipe, hulk homeless people, Hilary with RED EBIL EYES! All in one review.

Only one drawback one could find is that he cusses and even though he uses stick figures he's still got some blood in there. Oh and rampant sexual themes. However this doesn't bother me, and really these reviews are about games young people shouldn't even OWN (Ehm...mostly). (You ignorant parents out there I blame YOU! ESRB, learn it, know it!!)

I'm not sure if I can post this link here but I will anyways. If I can't against some blog rule let me know and I'll remove it.

    Yahtzee ownz us all! I wait in anticipation every week for his reviews, they're so damned addicting. He's written up a lot of funny articles on his site too, although a lot of them are anti-America I still can't help but LMAO at them. XD

    I wouldn't call him anti-American so much as not-pro-American. Actually I don't think he likes any country...

    I think the most notable example I could point out is his Essay titled My Tribute to the U.S. It's a hilarious essay, but I don't think you can call it anything other then anti-America. XD And I don't necessarily think he truly hates America, obviously a lot of the things he says are for comical effect, and note I said the articles are anti-America, not Yahtzee himself. =P But here's a quote from his Tribute to the U.S.:

    "All the things that make America the thumping powerhouse of wonder it is today, as seen from the viewpoint of a humble denizen of the little north-west European island nation to which you happen to OWE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, YOU WORTHLESS LITTLE SWEATY FAT BOY!

    Please don't flame me, I'm very sensitive."

    I love the finisher XD

    Thank you for showing me another way to spend time off on a boring day, I enjoyed a lot of the vids, read some of the essays. The satirical humor is abound here and there, love the fast-speaking narration. But in all, what he says or writes is opinion...in a funny sort of way that is enjoyable.
