Zero Punctuation

This series used to be great. Looks to reviews of Alan Wake, RE5 and really anything pre-2013 or so. Now, all we get are total drivel. There's no effort to make jokes any more. His "criticisms" nowadays are extremely shallow and fall more in lines with garbage like CinemaSins. Mean-spirited humor is fun. Mean-spirited humor can truly make a good point and make you laugh at the same time. His videos are just mean-spirited, period. As he's gotten more wealthy, his videos have gotten worse. These days I can really only tolerate his personality in unscripted, documentary-style videos about his own projects or the odd E3 coverage, or something.

He's also a touch transphobic too. Back when I didn't understand the community, I'd have happily looked passed it. Now I see the real harm that attitudes like mine have had to the trans community. It's not cute, Yahtzee. You just look like you want attention.

I've been watching ZP for at least five years now, and I can't imagine stopping any time soon. Yahtzee's fast paced witticisms and scathing criticisms are unlike anyone else, and have me regularly chuckling out loud. I personally don't always agree with his reviews, but that's meerly because he and I have different personal tastes in games. And I think that really shows how great it is, that I don't watch for the reviews themselves but purely for the entertainment value within them. And I can hardly believe that Yahtzee's been doing one a week for ten years.

I started watching Zero Punctuation in 2015. I have been hooked ever since. I have seen all 400+ episodes. The host, Ben " Yatzhee" Croshaw, reviews the games with such a unique view. His motto is " every game has a fault". He always brings up the bad things about games that other people try to ignore. This has given him the reputation of " the guy that hates all video games". This reputation makes it even more amazing when he DOES bring up a game he likes, meaning that that game is a MUST buy. Each episode is only 5 minutes long, and he never actually uses footage from the game, just photo shopped screenshots. He also speaks quite fast in his reviews, hence the name Zero Punctuation. His reviews can be watched for information, or just for fun. Whenever you are thinking of buying a game, you MUST watch the zero punctuation review on it.
