Eh, I just wasn't feeling it.
Don't know why, either. I find Yahtzee's videos hilarious (If not particularly similar to my tastes), but I just couldn't get into that one.
Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.Do you have an ad blocker? They do this thing once a month or so where it takes over the screen with an ad.
Fight smart, not fair.I'm on Firefox and I usually disable my Adblocker on Escapist specifically because of that. Sometimes it stops the videos from loading.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Well, it was an April Fool's gag. It probably wouldn't have the same effect watching it off the video archives than finding it on the site on April 1st.
The gag at the beginning of the Holiday 2010 video though - yeah, that I didn't particularly care for. I'm not really a fan of the "I pretend to not want to make these videos" shtick, as to me it doesn't really work when the interaction between the creator and the invisible audience is entirely one-sided, and the video obviously recorded beforehand.
I use Firefox and I don't think I've ever had any problems viewing the videos.

I was expecting Epic Mickey to appear in the Worst 5 games of the year, but to my surprise it didn't.
But I knew that Metriod Other M was going to be on the worst list and that Kane And Lynch 2: Dog Days was going to get the No.1 spot on the worst list.
(Also, reading through Yahtzee's Extra Punctuation about Epic Mickey sounds like watching that one episode of Extra Credits about Moral Choice. Nearly word for word.)

I'm having to learn to pay the price3 Wide-Open Sandbox and 2 horror games. Huh. He is honest about his genre bias, I give him that much.
NEWS JUST IN: Critic focuses on the negative in his features, but doesn't outside of them. TV Tropes up in arms.
Anyway, Fable 3 does have a fairly decent fanbase on the Escapist forums and with a lot of the 'casual' crowd. You'd be surprised at the backlash he got over it (incidentally, get some people Indigo - this is the first time he's 'trolled' it outside of the initial review).

*ahem*
Yahtzee unashamedly and completely admittedly uses Accentuate the Negative for the purposes of comedy in his reviews.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Meh, Bioshock 2 was kinda up there for issues unrelated to the gameplay itself (Like "Why the fuck does it even exist?"), but it's still definitely not one of the best games of 2010.
I'm actually kinda surprised Other M didn't get #1 worst game. At least Kane and Lynch 2 was the sequel to a crappy game, Other M was the latest in a series of good games.
Agreed on the podium joke.

Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.Yeah, it's not suicide if someone else gives you the noose, forces you to put it on, then kicks the stand out from under you. That's classic gallows execution (though they usually put it on you themselves).
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Well, the video for World of Warcraft Cataclysm is up
.
Very surprised that this was by Yahtzee's standards, a downright positive review. He's been far harsher towards MMORPGs in other reviews.
and that's how Equestria was made!

Holiday 2010 is up.
