I think Yahtzee did mention at some point that he used soundforge or something like that to delete empty spaces where he gasps for air.

Some points where I disagree with the reviewer:
Having to hold down X while, for instance, trying to sidle would be fucked up indeed. I guess the guy didn't get far enough in the game to try that, [sarcasm]as he had a deadline to bear in mind.[/sarcasm]
Multiplayer. With AGS. No comment.
Button mashing sequence: why the fuck are people constantly throwing hissyfits about this? I mean, it's really not that long or difficult. I think of it as Yahtzee's parody of video game designers constantly trying to jump on the stupid-gameplay-lengthening-shit-to-put-in bandwagon.
Can't think of anything else right now.

I really don't get the button mashing bit in AoT, it only seems to add a way to exit the level, so you can restart it when you fuck up trying to get a Hat on it, since you can’t just smokebomb the level. Which makes sense from a narrative viewpoint, but is really annoying when you’re playing the Obsessive Completist.

As for this review itself. I really was expecting something horrible. It wasn’t horrible, it was just rather bland. Quite like what you’d expect someone copying (I don’t believe it was an actual parody, there’s too much Yahtzee lovin’ in there) the style to be like. I wouldn’t advocate the house-burning, but I would advocate a raised eyebrow and a poke in the stomach.

I thought this was good. The section in which Trilby electrocutes himself by using his grolly in a film noir caused me to inhale some water laughing, which is as good a metric of humour as I'm likely to come by.

Also it'd be interesting to know what Herr Croshaw actually thought of this, standard house-burning comments notwithstanding.

To be honest, I think I've taken an instant dis-like to this guys voice. And complete lack of imagination. It was kinda obvious that somebody would do this, and my theory that it would be an American and that it would be irritating are proved whole-heartedly correct. Also his complete lack of knowledge as to what this game was about, as in using AGS to create a game like this, irritates me. And obviously Monty Python is the only funny thing to ever come out of Britain.
Was it just me or was he a little camp? And a bit of a stereotype?

I agree with that. Like most American copy of British humour, it utterly lacked any of the things that were of any interest in the original.

Yahtzee speaks more clearly as well.

His point about the use of the umbrella outside while it was raining would have been good if Trilby used his umbrella outside while it was raining, which he didn’t.

[Jenx]

My personal fave from this was the pic of Trilby trying to crack a safe, dodge tons of lasers, guards and cameras all at the same time. It just looked funny, no matter how you look at it.

This guys come back, obviously thinking he can level with Yahtzee the same way he probably levels with everyone else, by using the extents of the online dictionary and by sucking up. I've learnt lately that you can't just do that.
It doesn't work.
BE YOURSELF FOR FUCKS SAKE.

And if that is himself...
*shudder*
Also, he mentions PA. I find that rather curious for some reason...

BE YOURSELF FOR FUCKS SAKE.

You've been watching too much Sailor Moon.

I retain my opinion about most Americans not having the slightest sense of sarcasm. Or he must have used it all up when he made the review.

Damn. New rip-off.

Not sure myself if it is good nor bad. According to the comments in youtube, it ain't that bad, but I just CAN'T understand what the hell he's supposed to be saying.

You have no choice but to be yourself. Who else are you going to be?

Funny though

Having seen this video first and thinking you were all discussing about this one when you were in fact talking about Some Punctuation, I'm now watching Some Punctuation and it is at least 10 times funnier than this other piece of crap. If some of you thought Some Punctuation was bad, you've clearly haven't seen this one.

[Thaluikhain]

Yeah...the first was bad, but the second was appalling...does this guy have no nose or something?

With a voice like that, he should play comic yokels. And he wasn't remotedly interesting.

At least when I decided to do a Yahtzee rip-off review, I was going to do it about something unrelated to Yahtzee. And then decided the idea was a bad one and that not doing it at all would be smarter.

You've been watching too much Sailor Moon.

Yeah, the language those kids cartoons use.


In any case, you jsut can't compare with Yahtzee. Who else would have thought of replacing the double "e" in "Creed" with a single "u", so it said "Assassian's Crud"...funniest thing in the history of the English language.
