"Zero Punctuation" and "Dev Diary" by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw - The only thing worth watching on The Escapist

[Georgio Cocklord]

It would be funny if Yahtzee creates a new show called Fully Ramblomatic which was the original title for Zero Punctuation before it got bought by the Escapist. I think he has decent dev skills and will probably do games but he also has a bad habit of trying to write books which hes not that good at. Calandra seems like a soyboy though so if the operation were to tank, I think he will be the one to neuter everybody.

Edit: I just realized DSP outlived another one, how does he keep doing it.

Late but I was right again although the new show seems like a slight downgrade. I have to applaud calandra though he's not focused on ad revenue so all the naughty words galore and I'm incredibly surprised he went on the conspiratorial right wing podcast called the side scrollers, the hub of vaccine denialism and fascism. Good on him, he's at least being nice to the outsiders.

That new theme tune kicks ass though.

Also, reading back through these last few pages about Yahtzee's wife and him moving from Australia to California for her. Did you know that the reason he originally moved from England to Australia was some Australian girl being a fan of his and going all the way to see him too? They started dating and he moved back with her. I was an old school Yahtzee fan so I remember. Her name was Sarah something and she went by Rhubarb in the forums. Why does this man keep falling in love with stalkers from halfway across the world and following them back home?

Because let's be honest, outside of stalkers I doubt anyone would wanna date or spend time with this numbnut,

The "just enough" changes may not be enough to be "original" if Escapist decides to go for a petty lawsuit.

I guess ZP-style reviews still bring in the paypigs, but being freed from the obligations of ZP/Escapist sounds like he would be able to do stuff he actually enjoys.

Is he still doing one every week?

Reminds me of when The Dudley Boyz, Bubba Ray and D-Von, left WWE and turned up in TNA as Brother Ray and Brother Devon as Team 3D.

The red is fine, I don't care for the dog, and I wish I could explain why the glasses creep me out so much...they just do.

We'll get used to it.

Maybe he should have just gone back to this:

 

[whatever I feel like]

Well, at least he can say "cunt" now.

 

[Agent of Z.O.G.]

Please refer to Jack by his proper name, AIDSmoby.
I took forever to realize it's the same pee pee Jack and not someone else.

 

[Celebrate Nite]

Well, at least he can say "cunt" now.

We'll see how long that lasts until YouTube starts cracking down on these guys as well

So how much time tlso you give to Second Wind until it implodes? I say a year.

That was his original self insert avatar, from his old blog and his early games. Also a webcomic he did called "Yahtzee takes on the world".

I remember those days.

Fat-headed fanwhales should be able to keep it floating for several years, as long as the channel has reasonable cost control.

The issue is a group of people with a lot of ego and shared history that are going to realize that nothing changed, and will start tearing each other apart.

What he likes doing is writing books which he have admitted barely makes any money.

Yeah, but the books aren't great. Mogworld is genuinely funny and inventive, but the rest of his work is just typing. I did enjoy Will Save the Galaxy for Food, but it left me with absolutely no desire to read the sequel... which is exactly how I felt about that Lindsey Ellis book. I get the impression he personally prefers Jam, I don't know why.

I would dislike the video if it wouldn't given it more YouTube engagement rating. The red color is horrible and perplexes me as how someone who thinks he can make games adds this kind of eye rape. The review itself is old points being given in the most smoothed edge way possible, only to end in "this is good because fellow journo cock suckers say it's artsy". And the last two minutes is "gimme money" with the gall to say that the new site lets creators more creative freedom. Bitch, your "creative freedom" is doing the exact fucking same videos you did for a decade+, and it's 99.9% likely that future content will be ripping off other creators who did new shit rather than any true innovation. And you know the entire staff will be the same libtards journos with any differing opinions will be summarily fired.

I actually really liked the new look, the yellow was getting a little headachy. Furthermore, I hate the dog and miss the demons.

The podcast returns tomorrow Slightly Somewhere Else! Guest starring
@JimSterling!

I had some hope for about fifteen minutes, but I think this answers the question of whether or not I should bother subscribing to Second Wind on YouTube. My favorite part is the people in the replies who are retarded enough to use Mr. Sterling's plural pronouns, but who still say that they think that he is an attention whore cocksucker faggot.

I can't help but notice that this thread has turned on Yahtzee since the Hogwarts Legacy review. Come on guys, we're better than that. Let's not give in to cancel culture and immediately write someone off just because we disagree with them. Let's allow for redemption and try to help them instead. Here's my idea for a good opening to the HL review:

"As the gaming industry and society in general are swept up in this tiresome culture war between a brave marginalised minority who simply want to express who they really are without judgement and women crying out for their right to use the ladies bathroom without having to first shove their way through a forest of invading cocks, I...don't give a shit. There, I said it, I don't give a shit. I specifically went out and bought myself a ten foot bargepole so I had something to avoid touching this whole mess with.

I'm a games reviewer, I'm here for the games. So here is my honest unbiased review of Hogwarts Legacy on its own merits without any additional baggage from the world outside the basement i dwell in. And this particular game...is shit. Rather an anticlimax after all that."

Noooooooooooooooooo hes collabing with the fat cow fuck. I thought he had stayed out of the political scene after GG, hes doing a fucking Dodger and will probably put some shit in his bio next. Dodger is a fucking cunty whore cause she started pandering to the globohomos, I dont want Yahtzee to turn out that way.

 

[Franz Joseph]

He didn't like it before, for completely reasonable reasons, and then he did a complete 180 after it blew up. That shattered my trust in his recommendations.

It's really interesting going back and watching his Demons Souls review then is Dark Souls review right after to see how much he contradicts himself

 

[Oilspill Battery]

I subscribed to second wind when it popped up on my recommended, what with second wind, second changes and all.

Then I got a notification for a livestream where they proudly advertise the ogre as a guest and decided to unsubscribe.

I'll quote myself on the subject:

Spending a fourth of your video angrily calling JKR a cunt over and over again comes across as rather tone deaf. Especially for a creator that considers themselves a little bit transgressive and pretends to be witty/edgy.

Its not even that he sided with the troons instead of JKR or staying neutral, its that there was no wit about the whole thing.

He just spends 2 minutes calling her a cunt nonstop with no real jokes, comedy or subversion then going on with the review. I don't want to validate the terfs on the farms because they're all retarded, but ben genuinely came across as misogynistic on this one considering JKR's room temperature takes.

What about her do you think makes her a cunt Ben? Wanting women's only rape shelters? Thinking women and men are different?

But we all know there's no real reason or thought behind it. Ben is just parroting what he heard everyone else say without putting any real research or thought into it, which does more damage to his credibiliy than anything up to this day in my view.

I'm not writing him off because I disagree with him, I'm writing him off because because he's an enormous hypocrite that parrots rethoric that encourses mass child castration and is completely inelegant while doing it while obviously not even believing it. He's a snake without the grace.

I watch pro tranny creators. Harry Rrewis and Linsday Ellis to name two. I stopped watching ben while still watch these two because they are consistent in the shit they believe instead of adopting abhorent positions for cash.
