I finally found episodic video content on the web that I enjoy more than TV. I am eagerly awaiting the next episode of Zero Punctuation.
Zero Punctuation is a crude, sarcastic and witty video review of a new or upcoming game. It is made by Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw whose opinions about gaming are on par with the majority of frustrated game critics: there’s no original games being made, sequels and remakes suck, the console wars are foolishly focused on a graphics arms race, genuinely interesting games rarely perform well financially because gamers don’t know what’s good for them, etc. I don’t entirely agree with these stances, but Yahtzee is so damn funny it doesn’t matter. The subtitle of Yahtzee’s blog is “If Bruce Campbell were a website, he’d be this one.” I wish I’d thought of that :)
You need to be two things to enjoy these videos: 1) a jaded gamer 2) a fan of unapologetic, crude humor. If you qualify, do yourself a favor and watch the videos embedded below (or check out the complete list of Zero Punctuation videos to date).
