So instead of lerning for my exams I stumbled upon this awesome show called Zero Punctuation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Punctuation) by this British-Australian game critic Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. I don't know if you heard about it but it's seems I'm 4 years late to the party which makes me angry that I didn't discover it earlier but whatever...

Basically the show consists of cynical, sarcastic, negative, pun and bad jokes filled game reviews accompanied by poorly drawn stop motion pictures on yellow background narrated by a guy who does not make ANY pauses between his sentences which lead to the feeling that they have in fact "Zero Punctuation" in them (Get it ?)


Just watch what he thinks about our beloved Battlefield 3:

He pretty much rips apart any game I like and love but I don't mind because it's awesome :D


This is actually my favorite:

He's not being serious in this one but I'm not sure whether he ever is serious about anything he says :D


Yahtzee has a very special humor and this is probably not everyone's cup of tea but me being as cynical, pessimistic, negative and sarcastic as he is I find this show to be FUCKING HILARIOUS :lol: and I recommend everyone to watch at least a few episodes because he reviewed pretty much every major game (and some oldies) in the last 4 years so your game should be on the list.

Good stuff ExLee. Watching these is slightly exhausting but also highly entertaining. Cool thing is that a lot of things he says are actually quite close to the truth. Thanks for sharing.
