History Funny / ZeroPunctuation

* From [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/8910-Extra-Punctuation-New-Team-Fortress-2-Classes this]] ''Extra Punctuation'': "''VideoGame/{{Brink}}'', besides being what a racist caricature of an Oriental person [[JapaneseRanguage would say]] is their favourite ''Series/DoctorWho'' [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E10Blink episode]], is also a disappointing game."

Running since 2007 with an episode almost every week, ''Zero Punctuation'' has had so many funny moments that we had to create several subpages. Check them out here:

-->'''Yahtzee:''' I mean, the internet no longer working is basically an apocalypse scenario at this point, and if it comes to that humanity will have bigger problems than game preservation to worry about. We’ll be sitting around the campfire trying to explain Hideo Kojima’s body of work and no one’s going to believe us.

When talking about how "BioWare Face" and dialogue trees can really break a game's immersion:
-->Yahtzee: (holding FF XVI by the lapels and shaking it violently) I want to be immersed, damn it! I want to meet you halfway and enjoy the story. I can't do that if I'm spending most of my time with [=NPCs=] trying to kill me with their eye beams (as Clive and an NPC stare soullessly through the window at him).

--> Okay, fine - so far, these have been fairly flimsy reasons to dismiss the game, so how about this one? ''Fucking '''''Bloober Team''''' are making it!'' Just to repeat myself, did you play ''The Medium''? No one who ends their game with "cut to black, gunshot, credits" should be trusted to reboot anything beyond a Sinclair ZX81.

-->'''Yahtzee:''' Well I say break the cycle. ''<An axe bloodily buries itself in'' [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 RE4's]] ''box>''"So end the franchise, Yahtz? Like you said to do with ''VideoGame/SilentHill'' as well? Is that your solution to everything?" Well, you know, overlong horror franchises, horses with broken legs, people who cough too loud on the bus. You'd be surprised how often execution is the best way forward. ''<the bloody axe appears in his hands and he smiles gleefully>''

** Meanwhile, the editor had synced up video of Yahtzee and his peers making rather suggestive [[ADateWithRosiePalms hand motions]].

-->I only just found out that Leslie Benzies and a couple of other former Rockstar bods are working on an upcoming game along these lines simply called ''Everywhere''. Because that's where you can go, I suppose. And what exactly the player can expect to do once they get there has been left rather tellingly vague. Christ, that title so neatly encapsulates my gripes. Reminds me of that film, ''Film/EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce]]. Except, in this case, more like, "[[TitleDrop Three Things, Somewhere, Quarter 4 2027]] at the Earliest."

--> "Back to basics" does imply an appeal to nostalgia, in which case, I might point out to Ubisoft that you can only have nostalgia for something that's actually ''gone away'' for a while; tell that to fucking ''Star Wars'' one of these days. If you can't stop disgorging spinoffs for five seconds, people will never even get the chance to start pining for it again.

* The ending, in which he sounds genuinely angry:
--> My mistake; we're not here to express any restless creative passion, are we? We're here to make some ''dosh''! Fine! Move along, everyone; nothing to see here! Wake me up when you've announced the new range of Pyramid Head kitchenware!

--> I was doing my post-ZP stream of ''Scorn'' at the time of the ''Silent Hill'' announcement showcase, in which, amongst other things, the ''Silent Hill 2'' remake by Bloober Team was announced. And what an appropriate game to be streaming when I was hearing about that; there I was, in a hideous, nonsensical world where everything filled me with visceral disgust, and then I closed my browser and went back to playing ''Scorn.'' Ayyyyyyyy!
