Maybe posted, maybe not (I can't find it when I search, since I still can't scroll through the pages). Now I just hope I will not get banned for this. (read the thread first, then you can decide whether to watch or not and comeup with an opinion Ok, so the person behind Zero Punctuation is a guy called Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw on the escapist and he reviews games, most of the time PS3(2), XBOX (360) and various nintendo consoles. I believe it is called zero punctuation because he keeps talking about the game non-stop in four or six minutes every time. He has small figures doing lots of stuff while he talks, the mascot is some sort of black imp along with the human figure. Most of the time he spends making jokes, puns and insults for the game about thing he does not like, but what he likes he gives credit to. Though at the end of each review there is always some last words from him in the style of "He who laughs last wins" kind of style. I do not know about you, but I find his reviews incredibly entertaining because I believe he reaches most of every games essence most of the time and tends to be quite the funny person. It is to be warned though, the reviews contains a little (ok, quite a big bunch) of grown up humour, so if you don't have a strong stomach, please go and watch some ponies with wings fly over a rainbow etc. The link: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation

I love watching those. I don't always agree with his opinions but they are very entertaining. I especially liked his take on LBP where he says that Sackboy is like "Cuteness that has been weaponized" and that all the good stuff is, "covered in chocolate." Very funny stuff indeed.

@Morgana25: Funny stuff, one of my up coming levels I am working on has a certain part containing chocolate I wondered when he did not mention the create mode when you probably know what and that weird in the middle thing came the first time I watched it. I can not wait for his review of LBP 2.

Yeah, I'm guessing all the things he didn't like will be fixed in LBP2. I have watched em all except a few newer ones, they are quite entertaining. Just watched with shadow of the colossus review, I think scaling the boss' HP bar would be a great idea for a boss!

I love these. I remember seeing the Uncharted one, was like you jump from one ledge to another and then "this was scenery haha" Or about GTA IV and the indestructable trees. Only problem, he talks too fast that I sometimes I wish for subtitles. In portuguese.

I like Zp, but you could hardly call him a reviewer - He's only somewhat of a critic anymore. Still a good laugh though.

I also love watching this guy, so do my mates, his analogies are great. Ok, now I am just being growse, but that word says a lot about some of the humour going around (done under comparisons, metaphors and word plays). If you don't understand, play around with the word a little X( He talks fast because he probably wants it finished fast, and keep the time up to date, which seems to be around between 4 and 6 min every time. If he is not a reviewer, at least he is freaking funny with lots of "interesting" views, in my opinion.
