    Yahtzee Croshaw (hilarious!)

    If you haven't heard of Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, he's a video game reviewer who talks fast, & has a million crazy analogies, & plenty of profanity. He makes little "animations" to accompany his reviews. New video every week, watch some & you'll get addicted.

    He's absolutely brilliant - the games he writes isn't bad either
    Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups

    he's mentioned a few times over here, but the link was never posted because he uses the f word sometimes, and this being a pg13 board, f words is supposed to be bad, very bad.

    heh, he uses words far worse than the F one!!

    ...MOD - should this be removed then? I put in my original post that there is "plenty of profanity" as a warning, but I figured that since I was referencing something elsewhere, & not posting actual content here, it would be ok. Kill it if need be.

    I love the analogies he comes up with, like :
    Story & gameplay are separated by a fence made of tigers.
    &
    It's as smooth & intuitive as shifting from 4th to reverse in a car with no gear lever.

    & at the end of the videos, during the credits, he puts some little factoid or pun - I love the one on Phantom Hourglass that says "I often like to name my characters 'I say' so that all of the NPCs sound like Foghorn Leghorn"

    Yeah we all know but don't post links for obvious reasons. You should watch the warhammer review vids by their producer.
